The
Dark Protectors are Back!
Vampire
King Ronan Kayrs wasn’t supposed to survive the savage sacrifice he willingly
endured to rid the world of the ultimate evil. He wasn’t supposed to emerge in
this time and place, and he sure as hell wasn’t supposed to finally touch the
woman who’s haunted his dreams for centuries. Yet here he is, in an era where
vampires are hidden, the enemy has grown stronger, and his mate has no idea of
the power she holds.
Dr.
Faith Cooper is flummoxed by irrefutable proof that not only do vampires exist
. . . they’re hot blooded, able to walk in sunlight, and shockingly sexy. Faith
has always depended on science, but the restlessness she feels around this
predatory male defies reason. Especially when it grows into a hunger only he
can satisfy—that is if they can survive the evil hunting them both.
Themes: Paranormal,
Vampires, etc.

Review:
Wow that was something I never saw coming, but
I enjoyed every single second of it. For fans of this series we have seen a lot
of changes in recent installments, mainly a huge jump in time and
now some of our favorite second generation vampires and demons are coming into
their own and making their mark on the world.
Many of us were wondering who this Ronan character was and while I won’t
totally spoil the surprised I will just say he is a distant relative of the
ruling family and will become a very important link to some of our favorite
folks as this series moves forward. This
story begins with a new story arc that takes us into a secret society within
the vampire nation and introduces us to some seriously badass sexy alpha males.
Ronan and Faith’s story kicks off
quickly when she is forced to face some hard truths and learns of the existence
of the hidden world of the Realm first hand, not to mention a seemingly crazy
vampire claiming she is his mate. But
danger is following her everywhere and he is definitely the lesser of two evils
so she decides to give him some limited trust, for now. Ronan is weak, but the sight of the mate he
has dreamt of for a millennia is enough to power him through whatever is coming
at them, whether it be finding his footing in this strange new world or keeping
them both alive and safe long enough to actually complete the damn mating. In the end only by building trust will they
be able to find a way to truly defeat their enemies and share a life together,
when trust is something neither of them gives easily. I loved every second of this hair-raising
story and even with previous novels there was way more action than I was
expecting for what was essentially a new beginning in the series. The world of
the Dark Protectors has changed on us again, with our perceptions being forced
into all new directions and there was never really a dull moment to give us
time to process it all. Ronan was
alternately endearingly sweet and frustratingly annoying in his interactions
with Faith and amazingly deadly and terrifying in his skill for killing his enemies. I never actually thought that Zanetti could
make her males even more deadly and dangerous, but damn has she proven me
wrong. Getting to experience the world
from his viewpoint and watch him learn his way in our world was entertaining
and gave me a few laughs while at the same time reminding me that sometimes the
technologies we take for granted can actually make life more complicated instead
of easier. Faith was one of those women that you just knew was going to get
herself killed; her unwillingness to trust in her male, even when she’d make promises, led her to make stupid
decisions putting not only herself but others in danger. While I liked her fighting spirit and
willingness to help, those kinds of choices, especially when you’re making them
just to prove the point that you can
is stupid when in a dangerous situation.
So that being said I had a love-hate relationship with Faith through
most of the story, but thankfully came to like her in the end. The intensity and passion Ronan sparks
whenever he even thinks about Faith are enough to have any woman willing to
strip naked and offer herself for him, and thankfully once Faith does just that
the fire they build between them is mind-boggling. I am already dying for whatever comes next in
this series and know that Ms. Zanetti has just set her readers up for another
long and amazing journey filled with magic, mayhem, intrigue, and love, and I for
one am thrilled to be along for the ride.
If you are looking for a story filled with sexy male heroes and
sensuality to melt the panties right off your body, you have come to the right
place, so grab some ice or ice cold wine and lose yourself in the magic of Vampire’s Faith.
