Publisher Description
Meet a savage hunter from the darkest jungles and the beautiful prey he’ll never let escape in this sensual Carpathian novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan.
Rafael De La Cruz has spent centuries hunting vampires with his brothers, and with each passing year his capacity to feel emotions has grown weaker and weaker until finally there’s barely even a memory left—until only sheer willpower keeps him from turning into the very abomination he hunts. But it’ll take more than will to keep him away from the woman who is meant to be his and his alone...
For five years, rancher Colby Jansen has been the sole protector of her younger half-siblings, and with fierce determination and work she has kept her family together and the ranch operational. Now, the De La Cruz brothers are threatening that stability. They claim that her siblings belong with their father’s family, not with her. Colby vows to fight them—especially the cold and arrogant Rafael De La Cruz. But Rafael is after more than her family—he wants Colby, and will not let anything stand between them. After ages of loneliness, the raw desire to possess her overwhelms his very soul, driving him to claim her as his lifemate.

Loved this one!
Another great novella! They are never a full read!
Surprisingly Disappointing
Maybe the title is a little on the harsh side. No one is a bigger Feehan fan than me, but something about this book rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe because with the previous books in the Dark series, it’s different? Like, the Lifemates don’t fight so hard with their man. I understand that she had every right to be scared and hesitant on such new and terrifying things that were coming into her world. But she flip flopped so much on Rafael, it’s wasn’t fair to him. The things she constantly said to him were so mean and hurtful and she just kept playing with his emotions unnecessarily. Of course, the ending was amazing but I found it funny that of course she realizes her feelings for him when he almost dies. Just sucked that it took him almost dying for her to get over her pride and fears. If such a beautiful man with an even more beautiful soul came into my life like Rafael, or any of the Carpathian men, I wouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth, ya know?
Always amazing!
I re read this book all the time, I love Colby and her stubbornness. And of course her love for horses, but I love Raffael he’s one of my favorite Carpathian. This is definitely one of my favorite books.
