Search - Deep Kiss of Winter (Immortals After Dark, Bk 8)

I have to start off by saying that I only read the Kresley Cole novella. I love Showalter but hadn't read any of her alien huntress series and decided not to spoil any of it for myself, in case I do decide to read that series.

Regarding the Cole novel. It reads like a typical novella: lots of jumping around and not much story BUT! Take heed, it IS typical, excellent writing by Ms. Cole. It actually takes you thru the storyline of several of her books, as the central charcters are the 4 Wroth brothers. It also answers the questions to where Dani disappeared to in one of the books, I think Conrads book. (I read too many books to keep them all straight off the top of my head.)

It is definitely worth reading and will certainly entertain. It isn't her strongest work, but that is a given with this type of novel, but I think it is important to have the storylines in this book for the series. I would read the entire series up to this book before attempting to read this story. There are many characters interacting that you will need to have a knowledge base for. I actually enjoyed having some of the questions from other stories answered by this book. Very fun.

Enjoy!

Untouchable - the short-ish story by Kresly Cole is a terrific installment to the Immortals After Dark series. Although Deep Kiss of Winter is an "anthology" (two novellas by different authors) - Cole's contribution is easily as long as many shorter books. Over 250 pages of IAD sexiness and sensuality.

I've read all the 11 books in the series so far, this one read out of order. I keep expecting to lose interest in the series but Cole keeps bringing something new to the game. A fantastic read.

Perfect. Wonderful. Romantic. Murdoch Wroth and Daniela is a small story told in a large way. To not be able to touch and being immortal would be horrible. I loved the beginning of their story and how they made "it" work. And the four brothers finally together with their fated brides made it even more perfect as a holiday story. Good job Ms. Cole.. as always a devoted fan.

Untouchables by Kresley Cole
The Ice Maiden, Daniela, cannot be touched by anyone except the Icere or both people are seriously burned. So how exactly is the vampire (Murdoch Wroth) to have her? hmmmm Time for a little ingenuity! I really liked Daniela and Murdoch's story. It had all the requisite romance elements - soul mates, turmoil, angst, enemies, impossible obstacles and personal conflicts. I'm so glad I got back into this series as I've truly missed these warriors and their valkyries.

Tempt Me Eternally by Gena Showalter
Alien Breean Nu ports to Earth and the AIR, including Aleaha Love are waiting to annihilate them. Aleaha has a cool special power, she is able to take on the form of anyone she wishes. It is instant attraction for Aleaha and Breean though Aleaha fights it because he is the enemy. This is a very erotic romance with more virtual than real sex. I liked the pairing of Aleaha and Breean. He is thoroughly alpha and she is definitely not beta! I really like Gena Showaters writing and this erotic alien series is wonderful.

This wasn't a bad story, but Murdoch's stubbornness almost ruined it for me. It was explained why he resisted being bound to Danii, but he wasn't even willing to really try. He'd make some limp effort and if things got too tough or didn't go exactly his way, he easily gave up. Danii, on the other hand, put herself out there again and again, only to be continually rejected by Murdoch. I really wanted to knock some sense into him and when he finally realized what he was doing, I thought Danii should have given him the boot. She was too good for him.
