“Jacken can hold his own against the best of the Black Dagger Brotherhood!”
Brenda, Goodreads reviewer
The night just keeps getting more bizarre…
The murder is oddly bloodless. Called in to consult on the crime scene, Dr. Toni Parthen has no time to puzzle out that peculiarity. A black-clad man who seems more brutal creature than human being stalks out of the night and kidnaps her.
Imprisoned in a mysterious underground town, Toni is thrust into a realm beyond her understanding. These strange townspeople want her to do the unthinkable - breed with one of the men. No, thank you.
She incites a mutiny among the other abductees. But it’s no easy task to outwit the tight-lipped head of security, especially since Big, Dark, and Murderous is as emotionally scarred as she is…and she’s falling for the pain in the butt.
The leader of an elite squad of vampire warriors, Jacken Brun has an unholy side that boils just below the surface. He’s barely able to keep his sacred vow and push away the smart, sexy doctor he’s so inexplicably drawn to. Something about her is eerily different…
When it turns out her bloodlines hold the key to unimaginable power, two factions of malicious demons go to war over her, and Jacken will have to dig deep into his heart to find more than his skills as a warrior to save her…

I kept seeing sponsored ads on Facebook for this series- ones that mentioned 'if you loved JR Ward, you'll love this' (or something along those lines.) I thought to myself that I should give it a shot after having read the synopsis for the first book. I didn't immediately purchase though - by the time I wanted to read it, I ended up forgetting who the author was. Took me about 25 minutes of searching before I found the author's name (since I hadn't marked it in anyway. kicking myself for that)....
