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....

Underneath a nice guy

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

Up toward the top, the characters are noble, the plot is action packed and in the end love conquers death.

What did you like best about this story?

That both Aeron and Olivia are willing to give up their live for the other. That Aeron always thinks about his loved ones and even defies the heavenly realm to save one.

Have you listened to any of Max Bellmore’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

He fits the stories he narrates. The characters and story come to life.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Aeron gives up his head so that Olivia is saved.

Any additional comments?

Another fasinating series. It amaze me how many twist authors in this genre have come up with to tell their tale.

Another great by Gena Showalter

I love the world of the lords of the underworld and the women they love, their strength against all odds, their loyalty and friendship to each other and their compassion for mere mortals. I feel as if with each book I read, the characters become more and more real to me, and with each new book I love discovering what will happen to that character but I also love the peeks/updates into the other lords lives. I can't wait for Ashelyn and Maddox's baby to be born. I

Not as good as the rest...

I really enjoyed the first few of her books but they are so similar you feel like once you read one, you've read all the rest

Wrath is gone.

I enjoy all the LOTU stories up to date. The story lines do not progress the way that I think they should or expect. I was a little disappointed with the way that Legion turned out to be. I did like her in the previous books. My favorite is still the second book The Darkest Kiss with Lucian and Anya. Looking forward to the rest, now only if there was a sale, I would be happy. A series that defiently needs to be read in order. Another series recommended it Psy-Changling by Nalini Signh.

You can't go wrong!

I really enjoy reading this series. You cannot go wrong listening to the Gena/ Max combo. This is very intriguing, sexy, and emotional. It is not an all brawn no brain or all sex. This is a combination of everything.

I do not think I need to go into detail about the specifics of the book because you can all read the summary. All I really need to tell you is that the book is good and is definitely worth it!

Enjoy!

One of my favorite series

I love the romance, the fantasy, the characters. I have listened to this series several times. It is worth a second and a third listen.

Another Amazing Story

The stories get better and better, the anticipation for the next is overwhelming. The Warriors are a beautiful mix of man and lords.

Story getting interesting

If you could sum up The Darkest Passion in three words, what would they be?

Nicely coming together

What other book might you compare The Darkest Passion to and why?

The Black Dagger Brotherhood series

What does Max Bellmore bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Passion and emotion

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Sabin professed his love for Gwen and admits all of his deep secrets and vulnerabilities

Any additional comments?

Keeps you on the edge pondering the fate of the other Lords ... there are "hints" at what is in store for them... still wondering what role the harpy sisters will play!
