"Next book in Dark Hunters series is exciting and emotional. A winner!"

Talon, the Dark Hunter, watches over New Orleans. He spends his nights protecting humans from Daimons, who want people's souls to further their existence. He's quite good at his job, so single-minded toward his goal that he doesn't make mistakes. That is until he tries to rescue a beautiful woman about to be attacked by Daimons. Just a momentary distraction of looking toward the woman and he's shoved into the path of a Mardi Gras float.

Sunshine Runningwolf knows she wants the mysterious man dressed in black leather. She takes the bleeding, unconscious man to her home, undresses him and admires his perfect body - she's lusting big time. Having studied Celtic art, she admires the Celtic tattoos on his torso. Talon wakes up in her too-pink loft, finds his clothes have been destroyed, then starts to think of Sunshine as a welcome distraction. He's as drawn to her as she is to him.

This story is a marathon of discoveries and pleasures - a wonderful addition to the Dark Hunter series. Ms. Kenyon delivers another exciting, heart-pumping, virile male to titillate us. I didn't think anyone could outdo Kyrian (NIGHT PLEASURES), but Talon has his own exciting talents to get the pulse racing. NIGHT EMBRACE has a deep emotional cord that winds around your heart and pulls you in tight. It's full of surprises, but this author's great storytelling talent is no surprise at all.

Summary

Once the sun goes down, I am the baddest thing that prowls the night. I command the elements, and I know no fear. For centuries I've protected the innocent and watched over mankind, making sure they are safe in a world where nothing is ever certain.

All I was looking for was a hot babe in a red dress who only wanted tonight. What I got was a runaway Mardi Gras float that tried to turn me into road kill and a beautiful woman who saved me, but can't remember where she put my pants.

Flamboyant and extravagant, Sunshine Runningwolf should be the perfect women for me. She wants nothing past tonight, no ties, no long-term commitments.

But every time I look at her, I start wanting things that I had purposefully buried centuries ago. With her unconventional ways and ability to baffle me, Sunshine is the one person I find myself needing.

But for me to love her would mean her death.

I can never know peace or happiness. Not so long as my enemy waits in the night to destroy us both.
