No one who meets him in person can remember him 5 minutes later. It makes it easy to have one-night stands, but hard to have a meaningful relationship, and without true love he can never regain his soul. When he finally meets Cassandra, the one woman who can remember him, she turns out to be the princess of the cursed race he's sworn to hunt-and forbidden to him. The two of them must face ancient curses, prophecies, and the direct meddling of the Greek gods to find true happiness at last. With its frenetic, Matrix-style fight scenes and feral, leather-clad heroes, this book makes it easy to see why Kenyon's fantasy world has caught on so quickly and even inspired some readers to role-play on her Web site. Like the vampire-battling immortals of Kenyon's previous Dark-Hunter tales (Dance with the Devil, etc.), Wulf Tryggvason is sexy, dangerous and well over six feet tall. He also has a chip on his shoulder because no one, except his blood relatives and fellow Dark-Hunters, can remember him after he leaves a room due to an ancient curse. Then he meets 26-year-old Cassandra Peters, the one woman who can remember him. Unfortunately, she comes with a 'short expiration date.' Not only is she destined to die on her 27th birthday, but she holds the fate of the world in her hands. The last of her bloodline, Cassandra must have a child before her birthday or the world will descend into darkness. Even those who buy into this premise will find the tidy denouement hard to swallow, but Kenyon is a master at creating spunky characterizations and cinematic action scenes spiced with wry humor. Though she has a tendency to overwrite, especially when it comes to loves scenes ('She moaned at the rich sensation of having all of his lush power lying over her'), this book is an entertaining thrill ride. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. The only thing that can free a Dark-Hunter is the love of a woman. Hard to find if you're the only Hunter cursed to be forgotten within five minutes by whatever human meets you. Wulf suffers this fate, finding true companionship only with those who are exempt: his fellow Hunters and his lone surviving descendant. As for love, that's a lost cause, and meeting Cassandra makes the yearning harder to bear. He can have her only in erotic dreams, except that it turns out that those aren't just dreams, and Cassandra is no mere human. Showcasing Kenyon's knack for resuscitating oft-used plot twists with refreshingly different perspectives, the latest installment in the Dark-Hunter series, which includes Night Embrace (2003) and Dance with the Devil [BKL D 1 03], serves up more of what Kenyon fans have come to expect from her paranormal romances: intensely passionate love, laugh-out-loud humor, and drop-undead gorgeous men.

Outstanding Praise For Sherrilyn Kenyon and Her Novels 'Dance With The Devil cinches Sherrilyn Kenyon's place as a master of the genre! Zarek is a hero to die for, and his story will pull you in and keep you flipping pages into the wee hours; I couldn't put it down.' -Julie Kenner, author of Aphrodite's Secret on Dance With The Devil 'With her steamy, action-packed Dark-Hunter novels, Kenyon is ushering in a whole different class of night dwellers...an abundance of hot sex and snappy dialogue keep the plot both accessible and appealing.

New Orleans is hot and steamy, so is this story.' -Old Book Barn Gazette on Night Pleasures Dear Reader, What do you get when you have one immortal Viking warrior no one can remember five minutes after he leaves their presence, a princess on the run for her life, and one seriously annoyed demigod? Basically, you get my life. It started out simple enough. One night I went to save a woman in trouble. The next thing I knew, the doorway to hell had opened and out stepped Daimons-vampires the likes of which I'd never seen before. Led by the son of Apollo, they are out to end the curse that has banished them all to darkness. The only problem with that is they have to kill Cassandra Peters to do it and if she dies, so dies the sun, the earth and all who dwell here. Life's just a bowl full of cherries, ain't it? Brought together by fate, it's now my job to protect a daughter of the very race I have been hunting for centuries. Neither of us dares to trust the other. But she is the only one who remembers me... More than that, with her courage and strength, she is the only one who has ever touched a heart that I thought had died centuries ago. The only way for a Dark-Hunter to regain his soul is through the love of a woman. But what happens when that woman isn't exactly human? Wulf Tryggvasen New York Times best-selling author Sherrilyn Kenyon knows men. She lives outside of Nashville, TN with her husband and three sons. Raised in the middle of eight boys, and currently outnumbered by the Y chromosomes in her home, she realizes the most valuable asset a woman has for coping with men is a sense of humor. Not to mention a large trash bag and a pair of tongs. Writing as Sherrilyn Kenyon and Kinley MacGregor, she is the best-selling author of several series including, The Dark-Hunters, Brotherhood of the Sword, and The MacAllisters. Her novel Fantasy Lover was voted as one of the Top Ten Romances of 2002 by Romance Writers of America.

Kenyons style of humor, imagery, and the great contrast of things aren't always what they seem creates a wonderful story that you will read over and over. Rating - Sins of the average book Kiss of the Night has been my least favorite Dark-Hunter novel thus far. It left the reader with a lot to be desired. The previous books gave detailed accounts of the Dark-Hunter prior to the change, however it was very vague in this case. Unless I missed it, an explanation was not given as to how Wulf was tricked into trading souls nor what he did in order to become cursed. I also felt the romance was lacking and rubbed me the wrong ... Read More Rating - Impossible to put down Once again, Sherilynn Kenyon grabs your interest from page 1 and holds on to it all the way to the final page and then you just want more! Each new Dark Hunter captures your heart and you know that you've made a friend for eternity. I'll re-read this many times. Rating - Amusing Guilty Pleasure Amusing Guilty Pleasure, a bit repetitive, previous one in the series held my attention (more well written than this one). Still, I would recommend this book. see more reviews See all books by author Sherrilyn Kenyon
