This was my first Dark Hunter book and I fell in love with the series. Kyrian is a great character (an ancient Greek general who was betrayed by his wife and later crucified). Now he spends the nights wearing yummy leather pants and saving humans from the dark creatures of the night (who happen to be sinfully good looking as well). Then he meets Amanda, the accountant, and he gets a bit distracted. I love how Ms. Kenyon develops her heroes (with flaws) and the secondary characters are as interesting as the main ones. You can't wait to read about them as well! And the smut is pretty good, as well. Love the scene where Amanda gets Kyrian over his fear of having his arms immobilized (as in being crucified) by tying him to the bed and ...(involves whip cream)! Great stuff! Each book in the DH series gives you more pieces of the puzzle that is the DH world, and you leave each book hungering for more. Enjoy!

Dark-Hunter Series
Follows the novel Fantasy Lover (Prequel) and the novellas The Beginning (in Sins of the Night) and Dragonswan (in Tapestry Anthology) [if you want to read them in order]. Ties into Fantasy Lover with character overlap which I really enjoyed. I liked this book better than Fantasy Lover, because it starts introducing the Dark-Hunter characters and the role they play in controlling the Daimons who threaten humanity. Very, very hot sex scenes between the main characters. What a lucky girl!!

Kyrian is 65 --Have Mercy! He is truly one of my favorite heroes. Actually, this couple is a favorite of mine. They both have big hearts and are very likable. Now that Ive entered the world of the Dark Hunter, theres a lot of information pumped into this book. I knew I had a lot more books to read in the series, so I really tried to pay attention to the whos and the whats. Night Pleasures and the world of Dark Hunter, is packed full of adventure, survival and passion. I enjoyed all of the characters in this book and it was a great story- the romance very real. I can see why so many are reading this series. I didnt want to wait for the librarys copy for the next book, so, I went out and bought Talon the Celts story, Night Embrace. The best thing about this series, is that its like an action packed show that you can start and stop at any time. And there are still more books coming out!

"Night Pleasures" is a fun read. Kyrian of Thrace is a Dark-Hunter - one who kills vampires who prey on humans. He wakes up one day handcuffed to what he calls his "worst nightmare", Amanda Devereaux. She looks conservative, dressed in a button-down shirt, buttoned all the way up to her chin. As he gets to know her, he finds her smart, sexy, and witty. However, she wants nothing to do with the paranormal which includes him.
Little does he know that Amanda comes from a family of 8 girls where she is the youngest and the only one not involved with the paranormal. All her sisters are either witches, forture-tellers, vampire-hunters, and such. Thus Amanda's attire and strivings to be as conservative as possible.
Meanwhile, Kyrian has some super evil god after him that he has to not only kill but protect Amanda from. To make matters worse, Amanda's twin is a vampire-hunter who's determined to kill Kyrian thinking he's one of the evil vampires, a Damian, instead of a Dark Hunter. As Amanda starts falling in love with Kyrian, she gets more involved in his battles, including the one with her sister.
Kyrian started falling in love with Amanda shortly after he met her. But he's afraid to get involved because he became a Dark Hunter because of his first wife's betrayal a couple of thousand years ago.
There's lots of suspense and plenty of humor underlying the plot. I loved the characters, especially Amanda with her ability to take things in stride and her compassionate nature.

Great book is Kenyon's fantastic Dark-Hunter series! After reading several DH books in a somewhat random order, I'd suggest that you do read the books in order as you will get a richer experience. Kenyon carries many of her characters throughout various books.
Also, the Acheron character (the powerful head Dark-Hunter) progressively develops in each book. We learn little things about him and his mysterious background along the way. He will have is own book in 2007.
