Publisher's summary

For weeks, the immortal warrior Aeron has sensed an invisible female presence. An angel-demon-assassin has been sent to kill him. Or has she? Olivia claims she fell from the heavens, giving up immortality because she couldn't bear to harm him. But trusting - and falling for - Olivia will endanger them all. So how has this mortal with the huge blue eyes already unleashed Aeron's darkest passion?

Now, with an enemy hot on his trail and his faithful demon companion determined to remove Olivia from his life, Aeron is trapped between duty and consuming desire. Worse still, a new executioner has been sent to do the job Olivia wouldn't....

addicting!

I am loving these demon , Angels and humans . Seems to me the gods are the baddies . They need to be thrown into a human body for a few thousand years to get the gist .Great stories !

Surprised by the reading!

I have to start out by saying that I love Gena Showalter's books and I have all of them in print. When I read this book it was not one of my favorites of this series, but I ordered the audio book anyway because I wanted to have them all in audio. I was truly surprised because I enjoyed listening to the book way better than I enjoyed reading the book and this is not usually the case for me. Max Bellmore brought the characters to life for me in a way that the written pages didn't. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys paranormal romance.

I Really Liked This Book

Where does The Darkest Passion rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I liked The Darkest Passion. I was surprised that this book would be interesting to me and the most thus far in the series. I really loved the narrators spin on the voice he uses with the demons in this story. I loved the author's use of the demons to bring comic relief at times and make you pay attention to them, for their characters are just as important. I loved the love play between the two main characters. I loved the dilemma.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Darkest Passion?

The love scenes and how they can never complete them like they are suppose to be completed.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Legion burst in during Aeron and Gwen's afterglow.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed a lot at the book. It was a wonderful laugh and I listen to excerts of this book every now and then to gather tid bits when listening to other books in the series.

Great story. Not to be missed.

Once again Max Belmore did a wonderful job narrating. Of course it helps to have an outstanding story to read. With Ms. Showalter's words and Belmore's words you have an experience that pull at your heart. There were a few tears shed, lots of laugh out loud moments, and action-packed adventure all brought to you by characters that are larger than life, but real in their strengths and weaknesses.

I love that Olivia, an angel realizes that prefection can be boring, and Aaron, the keeper of Wrath can love a demon like a daughter and angel with his whole heart.

i highly recommend this book, but suggest you read it in sequence with the rest of the books in this series.

Another good one

I have read all of this series and this one is just as good as the rest, there were a couple of places that it was "slow" but overall I really enjoyed the book and will listen to it again. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Gena.

Loved it.

I love the series. I'm hooked for sure but I LOVE Aeron. There is something about him that is endearing. This is my favorite book of the series because of Aeron and Olivia. It made me wish I could fall in love all over again to feel the way they do for each other. Plus Bellmore is the greatest narrator. I wish I could listen to this story all over again for the first time. Looking forward to The Darkest Lie.
