Publisher's summary

The Warlord Wants Forever...the sensually charged novella that started it all, now with an exclusive excerpt from MacRieve!

In this scorching series opener, New York Times best seller Kresley Cole introduces the captivating Immortals After Dark series. The book also includes an exclusive extended excerpt from MacRieve, the highly anticipated next installment in the series.

The Warlord

Nikolai Wroth, a ruthless vampire general, will stop at nothing to find his bride, the one woman who can "blood" him, making his heart beat and filling him with strength. Coldly interested only in the power his bride will bring, he can hardly believe when Myst the Coveted awakens him body - and soul.

The Seductress

Famed throughout the world as the most beautiful Valkyrie, Myst has devoted her life to protecting a magical jewel and to fighting the vampires.

Wroth provides her with the perfect opportunity to torment her sworn enemy - for with his new heartbeat comes a consuming sexual desire that can be slaked only by her. Denying him, she flees, struggling to forget his searing, possessive kiss.

The Hunt is on

She eludes him for five years, but he has finally chased her to ground and stolen her enchanted jewel, giving him absolute power over her. Now that she's his for the taking, he intends to make her experience firsthand the agonizing, unending lust she subjected him to for half a decade. Yet when Nikolai realizes he wants far more than vengeance from Myst and frees her, will she come back to him?

I didn’t expect to like it but it’s really good. Worth a credit

I hesitated using that precious credit on a novella but I’m glad I did . Half way through I used another credit for the next book. The spice is about 3-4 chili peppers out of 5. I’m hoping with more time the characters will become more complex. I don’t like FMC who are weak and need rescuing and the FMC in this is far from a weakling. She’s actually stronger than the MMC. Some might pause on a particular power discrepancy but I love me an alpha male with “ MINE ! Mine ! Mine !” energy. I have a stressful job and I like light stories with happy endings . This fits the bill. I hope the rest of the series holds my interest the way this one did. Narration was pretty good but nothing super special . Accents were good too.

Valkyries, Vampires, and Lykae oh my!

If you love immortals such as these, this is a series for you. Based in modern times, this novella follows Myst The Coveted a Valkyrie in an enemies to lovers romance. Kresley Cole gives her characters great wit with a slash of humor and a lot of spice. 🌶 🌶 🌶
"And may you never feel a Valkyrie's breath at your back." 🍻

Very good. Wish it were longer.

I loved the book, there was a lot of mythology to digest but after you start to understand the logistics of it all it's not that complicated. I loved that the female protagonist saved the male for once and how she wanted someone who could best her. There's nothing better than a strong female lead that still likes a guy that's tough in the bedroom! The sexy scenes we're top notch, and I want to be mad about the length because it was so short, but it works for this book. If it were much longer it likely would have just been a lot of filler that was unnecessary. So I can't in good conscience say it's too short, because it's actually the perfect length for this particular story.

Fun and VERY sexy

This was a great paranormal, fantasy, mythical romance. It's fun and sexy. Definitely not to be taking literally. Just some good sexy romantic fantasy fun.
