Though he has vampire, demon, and Viking blood rushing through his veins, Ivar Kjeidsen's soul-crushing trip to hell broke him in ways he can barely fathom. One vow keeps the deadly immortal standing: To rescue the vampire brother who had sacrificed freedom for him. To do that, Ivar needs the help of a brilliant physicist with wary brown eyes, fierce brilliance, and skin that's way too soft.
Dr. Promise Williams understands the underpinnings of the universe but has never figured out the human beings inhabiting it. Her function is to think??and not feel??until she's touched by a vampire who's nowhere near human. The primal hunger in his eyes awakens feelings in her that defy calculation. As she shows him the way to step between worlds, he brands her with a pleasure that could last more than a lifetime . . .

"Spicy romantic interplay; highly recommended."

4.85 Stars.

I just broke my rule of only doing quarter stars! Here is why.
The only problem I found with the entire story was 3 typos. And yes, I am mean enough to deduct some points off for that. But this was a 5⭐read for me. So I deducted .05 points for each typo I found. I think that was fair.

This one goes to my #1 favorite of this series. It has Everything I love in a great read. Two great main characters. Ivar and Promise were both FanFreakingTastic to read about. They had humor and steam in their interactions with each other. Their connection was topnotch.

There is plenty of mystery, action, suspense, and romance throughout the entire story. Great fight scenes and plenty of action.

I highly recommend this series to lovers of PNR that want steamy adult scenes and lots of action/suspense.

Alpha’s Promise by Rebecca Zanetti
Dark Protectors #10

What does it say about me that I find myself more invested in fictional paranormal characters and the series they populate than in fictional human characters that have what some might believe “more real” plots in the books they exist in? I mean...I stopped reading another book that didn’t “click” with me at all then picked up this book and could not put it down! I get the protectors and the women they fall for and can’t wait to read the next book when it comes out...that’s me...eagerly awaiting Dark Protectors book eleven...oh yeah!

In this book Ivar has been back for three months and has been mending after finally getting out of an existence that was one torturous situation after another. He was helping to balance a situation that so far has kept evil Kurjan Ulric captive in a bubble world. He had to leave Quade, another protector, behind and vowed he would return to save him or take his place. To make this happen he needs a physicist that will be able to come up with a mathematical solution that will allow him to save Quade but keep Ulric in prison. When he meets up with Promise, a physicist, he realizes he needs to protect her as a few other physicists have already met an untimely painful end. Getting her on board is not easy but eventually does happen.

This story had me from t he very beginning. The meet-cute was...intriguing. I absolutely adored Promise’s logical take on life and her ability to be forthright in stating what she was thinking, desired and was willing to do. Ivar was definitely not human but on board with and understood just what Promise was talking about most of the time. Their relationship was HOT and interesting and perfect in so many ways. In the mix were other characters that are keeping the long-range plot in motion. The Kurjans and Cysts and their evilness are shown again, Quade was visited, Haven Daly is brought in and my gut feeling is that she will be instrumental in getting Quade out of his unbearable situation, the keys are mentioned, the role of the lock (still a child) and her friends was again mentioned and the question of how the four will eventually be part of the solution...it is just a finely tuned wonderful epic journey of a series that has this one book in it that made me very happy from beginning to end. That said...when is book eleven due?

Thank you to NetGalley and Kengington Lyrical Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.

Alpha’s Promise by Rebecca Zanetti

Book 10 in the Dark Protectors series. It can be read as a standalone romance but because of the overall arc, it’s best to have read at least a couple of the preceding books.

Math and equations are Promise’s live. Drawn into the demon hybrid lives, her mind is scrambling to figure out inter-dimensional traveling. She’s in her element and Ivar can’t help watching her work. He’s enthralled and falling in love.

A quick ending that keeps Ivar and Promise together and in love but leaves others hanging. A cliffhanger in the overall arc that felt unsatisfying.
I generally love this author’s writing but this fell flat in the ending of this couples story. Up until the last two chapters I was all in. Now I want to know what happens with others including Quade.

Excerpt:
“Yes.” She tried to sound conciliatory instead of commanding, but it was difficult. “I have to see what’s happening.” She needed to feel what was happening. This ability of hers, the one dealing with teleporters, enhanced her theories so well. “You don’t have a choice.”
His smile provided more warning than an outlandish neon sign. “You don’t want to use phrases like that with me, Professor.”
She shivered and failed to conceal it. “Is it just me, or are your possessiveness and authoritarian tendencies progressing to the point of being tyrannical?”
His eyebrows lifted. “Perhaps you’re just starting to notice.”
How irksome.”

I received a copy of this from NetGalley. I also purchased a copy to share. ( )
