Publisher's summary

Once, Sarah Bingham's biggest challenge was making her students pay attention in class. Now, after rescuing a wounded stranger, she's landed in the middle of a battle between corrupt vampires and powerful immortals who also need blood to survive. Roland Warbrook is the most compelling man Sarah has ever laid hands on. But his desire for her is mingled with a hunger he can barely control...

In his nine centuries of immortal existence, no woman has tempted Roland as much as Sarah. But asking her to love him is impossible---when it means forfeiting the world she's always known, and the life he would do anything to protect.

Good love story!

Pretty good story for a long commute. I read some a few months ago and decided to finish it today. It was pretty good. I love their diet, especially because I'm vegan.

LOVED this book!

This was a great book. I didn't know what to expect but was a bit cautious. The book was truly surprising and quite enjoyable.

Action-packed and Passionate!

This book surprised me. It was very well-written and the female protagonist kicked butt. Male characters were not cartoonish versions of masculinity. Instead, they showed vulnerability with strength, acceptance with viciousness. I thought it was fast-paced enough that it entertained me from start to finish. I loved how the main characters bonded by talking about their love of natural or fresh food. I also liked how there was a good balance of women and men where neither was portrayed as stronger or more useful than the other one. I must read the next one, I want to know where the mystery woman comes from!

Awesome Series

This needs to he a television series, preferably on a premium channel I even have a few actors in mind. Seth will be the hardest to cast.

exciting and thrilling audible!

I was blown away with this story! I went in to it thinking that it would not hold my interest and I was completely wrong. Duvall keeps her reader readers captivated from the beginning to the end! I can't wait for the next installment

OMG

Total surprise, I don’t usually care for vampire books, I have passed over this series several times because of that. But...apparently I was wrong about this one anyway. So, if like me, you don’t like vamps, try this one. Immortal Guardians, similar to vampires but much nicer. LOL 😁
Oh yes, steamy, sweet and all of the above too. 😍
