Summary: Great ride
Comment: Loved it.. running out of words.. this is a wonderful series.. a must read :)
Customer Rating:
Summary: 4.5 stars
Comment: I'm not really sure why these books tend to languish in my TBR pile so long. I always really enjoy them when I read them, but I'm never in any hurry to read the next one. Hmmm.
Anyway, this is the third Dark Hunter book, about Sunshine and Talon. He'd been cursed centuries before by a god to lose any woman he loved, and Sunshine was deliberately placed in his path to distract him during Mardi Gras, when a couple of gods planned to release The Destroyer and reclaim their godhoods.
The time of year is also a bad time of year for Daimons (vampires), and the baddest-of-the-bad Dark Hunters, Zarek, has been called to New Orleans from Alaska to help out.
I enjoyed the romance between Sunshine and Talon--Sunshine was independent and practical, things I always appreciate in a heroine, and of course Talon was tormented by fear of his curse. There's a twist in their relationship later on, and I thought that was handled well, and realistically.
In addition, there was quite a bit of character development of the secondary characters--we learned more about Ash, Zarek, and Valerius--and some of the history and politics of the Dark Hunters.
All in all, a fun, satisfying read. I believe there are 3 more in my TBR pile. I'll get to them eventually, and no doubt I'll enjoy them when I do.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: I've read most of Kenyon's Dark Hunter series and this one, although published 5 years ago, I missed the first time around. I've got to say that one of the things that I like most about her books is that they all seem to stand on their own. While it's preferable to read in order, you lose nothing if you don't.
As for Night Embrace...it's another great one! Since there are so many other reviews, I'll leave it at that and just add my voice to the others that recommend it.

Comment: If your a Kenyon fan this book is a must have. 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.

Comment: LOVE THIS SERIES. WISH I WOULD HAVE STARTED IN ORDER, WOULD HAVE MADE IT EVEN MORE INTERESTING. I WILL GO BACK AND RE-READ THE ONES IN ORDER THAT I ALREADY HAVE. CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE FROM MISS KENYON.

Dear Reader,
Life is great for me. I have my chicory coffee, my warm beignets, and my best friend on the cell phone. Once the sun goes down, I am the baddest thing prowling the night: I command the elements, and I know no fear. For centuries, I've protected the innocent and watched over the mankind, making sure they are safe in a world where nothing is ever certain. All I want in return is a hot babe in a red dress, who wants nothing more from me then one night.
Instead, I get a runaway Mardi Gras float that tries to turn me into roadkill and a beautiful woman who saves my life but can't remember where she put my pants. Flamboyant and extravagant, Sunshine Runningwolf should be the perfect woman for me. She wants nothing past tonight, no ties, no long-term commitments.
But every time I look at her, I start yearning for dreams that I 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 am cursed never to know peace or happiness-not so long as my enemy waits in the night to destroy us both.
--Talon of the Morrigantes
