![]() The storyline starts out as just romance between Talon and Sunshine, but about the middle of the book, it turns from just a simple love story to an out and out adventure and a save-the-world climax, something the Dark-Hunters are always having to do. But that's okay, because Talon is so wonderfully complex and fun to read about that you won't be able to put the book down. She's weak, fruity, and somewhat silly and I found her hard to like in the beginning. I should say that it's the story of both Talon AND his ladylove Sunshine, but honestly Sunshine is more of a supporting role in this book rather than a main character. 'Night Embrace' is all about Talon of the Morrigantes, a doomed Celt and familiar to those that read 'Night Pleasures'. I'm looking forward to the next novel in the series, now. This is also impressive, because I had almost decided to give up on Kenyon as an author since her first two novels seemed WAY too dopey and silly to me. Reading about these guys made me want to go out and buy the rest of the Dark-Hunter series, just to see what happens to them. The best part of NIGHT EMBRACE, however, isn't the romance so much as it is the adventure that revolves around the secondary characters, which include the always fascinating Acheron, a psycho good guy named Zarek, and some were-creatures (not to mention the various Greek and Celtic gods). Talon is also an interesting hero with an interesting back story, and you can really see him fall in love with Sunshine. Her responses to Talon, a hunky vampire hunter, are genuine (I could imagine myself thinking those same thoughts if I met a guy like him). Sunshine is the kind of heroine who is easy to relate to: she's made a few mistakes in life, yet she is also independent, realistic, and easy to get along with. Nynia has been reborn as Sunshine Runningwolf, a modern-day starving artist. NIGHT EMBRACE is the story of Talon, an immortal Celt, who (for nefarious reasons unknown to him) is reunited with the reincarnated soul of his dead wife, Nynia. I am cursed never to know peace or happiness-not so long as my enemy waits in the night to destroy us both. But for me to love her would mean her death. ![]() With her unconventional ways and ability to baffle me, Sunshine is the one person I find myself needing. She wants nothing past tonight, no ties, no long-term commitments.īut every time I look at her, I start yearning for dreams that I buried centuries ago. ![]() Flamboyant and extravagant, Sunshine Runningwolf should be the perfect woman for me. 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. All I want in return is a hot babe in a red dress, who wants nothing more from me then one night. For centuries, I've protected the innocent and watched over the mankind, making sure they are safe in a world where. ![]() Once the sun goes down, I am the baddest thing prowling the night: I command the elements, and I know no fear. I have my chicory coffee, my warm beignets, and my best friend on the cell phone. ![]()
