Book Description:
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

The Dark Hunter series is my favorite paranormal series and this is one of my favorite Dark Hunter books. I love Talon! And Sunshine is one of my favorite heroines. Of course, I also love Ash and there are some GREAT scenes involving him. Good storyline, great smut (you gotta love Talon hanging upside down from his exercise bar), great insights into Ash and his history. This is one that I keep by my bedside and read parts over again often! Enjoy!

This book took me forever, I mean FOREVER to read. I actually feel bad for Talon. Why, you ask? He had to follow up Kyrian's story, which totally rocked. This book fell flat for me and I really didn't want it to. I didn't feel the romance was the main focus of the story, and even though I loved the fact that Talon and Sunshine had a great connection, I did not get that dreamy, Ahh, after finishing it. I immediately put it on PBS for a book credit. Don't get me wrong, I love the Dark Hunter series, and this book makes Archeron even more of a mystery, building up his book, which is still oodles away. I am slowly making my way there. I have Dance with the Devil, Zarek's story from the library in my possession. Can anyone tell me if it's better than Talon's story? If you read Night Embrace book, let me know what your thoughts were!

This is my favourite so far! I accidentally read them out of order with Fantasy Lover, then Kiss of the Night (number 5) then Night Pleasures and Night Embrace and this is by far my favourite. I'm not too fond of Sunshine, but Talon... mmm mmm! This is a great series altogether but this installment by far gets 5 stars!

I love the Dark Hunter Series. Talon and Sunshine were 2 good characters but my fave so far is Julian and Grace. (Book 2) Each story has been unique, but need to be read in order, because they tie in together. Like everyone else, I'm working my way to read Acheron. Kenyon keeps giving you glimpses into his "life" but I cant wait to see what she has in store for him. I all ready know he is going to be my favorite.

Another good entry in the Dark Hunter series, but not as good as Kyrian's book.
Although, I did not care for Sunshine. And if that woman writes the phrase "patchouli and turpentine" again, I will personally throttle her.

Soul-less immortal vampire warriors, created by the goddess Artemis, who don't kill humans - but do hunt another race of vampires who DO kill them...In their very long and lonely lives a woman who truly loves them can redeem their souls...if she is strong enough.
Passably well written...this is the story of Talon & Sunshine (Zarek is introduced here and his book is next), also introduced - Vane the Werehunter, who gets his own book with Bride later. Also, more is revealed about Acheron's mysterious origins...
While I feel the series as a whole is mediocre and repetitive, this is one of the stronger offerings in it. The Dark Hunter series in general always ends with a bit too much deus ex machina for my tastes - things are always wrapped up in a neat little bow by the end - usually due to the "waving my magic wand" sort of thing by the gods or goddesses of one pantheon or another.
I liked Zarek's book better, and Fantasy Lover (Julian's book)...didn't like Kyrian's book as much either!

The book that made me fall in love with Acheron! I didn't think I would like it when I first started, but fell in love with Sunshine and Talon, and Ash... even Artemis a bit!

Monica S. (This book was just as good as the first two in the series. Its got some great humor, hot guys, steamy sex, and pretty good plot. Now that the plots are starting to intertwine its getting even better, off to start the next book.
couldn't read the series fast enough! great characters!
Laura L. (Talon of the Morrigantes story is awesome! very different take than Julian and Kyrian's stories. Very awesome reading material!
Sunshine is such a fantastic and funny character and I loved reading about her and Talon.
Mijan R. (I am finally getting used to Kenyon's writing style. It was difficult at first, the way she switches between the character point of views, mid-paragraph. It is not something I am a fan of, but I have learned to deal with.
Also, this book was even more confusing than Night Pleasures, which I thought was just a lead in for future books. I had a very hard time with trying to keep everyone/everything straight. We are introduced to gods, goddesses, dark-hunters, were-hunters, were-panthers, were-bears....and the list goes on. I found myself wanting to start a journal to keep track of all the names and what the heck they were and even who they were related to.
Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable story and I am off to start #4. With all the extra subplots, the story of Talon and Sunshine was still rather good.
3.5 stars for me...
Another great story in the Dark Hunter series - this one is about Talon and Sunshine. He is a Dark Hunter who has buried his emotions for 1500 years - She is a woman who is full of life and sees life for its possibilities. A great mix of action, adventure, romance and paranormal. This story just adds to the Dark Hunter series - you find out more about the Dark Hunters overall, as well as more information about the individual Dark Hunters, i.e. Zarek, Ash, Valerius, etc. Can't wait to read the next one!

Kelly G. (A great book. But I love all of SK's dark hunter books.
Vici G. (If you have never read Sherrilyn Kenyon or a Dark-Hunter story...give it a try. Amazingly detailed stories that connect together. You put one down and go searching for the next. This series is so awesome...my husband requests my retelling of the stories as I finish reading one. -V. Garber
