Review: In Still Darkness (Immortal Guardians #3.5) by Dianne Duvall

Blurb:

Originally published in "Predatory"


"In Dianne Duvall s world of Immortal Guardians, the stakes for mortals are high, but the cost especially to the heart might be higher "

It s not the first time Immortal Guardian Richart d Alencon has saved a human life from eternal damnation. Usually, he moves on, a nameless savior like a ghost in the night. But this time he can t seem to forget the woman who rewarded him with a sensuous kiss after he rescued her from a trio of vampires. While Richart knows that loving a human can only bring trouble, the taste of forbidden lust is too great to resist

Jenna never imagined she d end up a single mom working overtime to put her son through school. But she might have daydreamed once that a devastatingly gorgeous Frenchman would sweep her off her feet. Now that a package of tall, dark, and handsome seems intent on doing just that, doctors are telling her she may not have long to live. But Richart is telling her just the opposite. All she has to do is abandon her humanity

Includes a special sneak peek of Night Unbound

Duvall is a major player. "RT Book Reviews"

The Immortal Guardians series is one you ll want to follow. "The Romance Review"

My Review:

A single mom, Jenna once dreamed of a handsome Frenchman sweeping her off her feet, what she could never have dreamed of is being saved by one after being attacked by a vampire and now she’s being told she’ll have to give up her humanity in this riveting Immortal Guardian novella. 

 This fast paced and smooth flowing plot has readers shivering in anticipation as Richart dates Jenna and fights the ever growing vampire population. The author brings the story to life with well written scenes and details that have the reader feeling as if they are part of the story and well orchestrated suspense that draws the reader in and exciting and believable action that adds thrills. The characters are strong, compelling and continue to captivate readers.

Jenna and Richart’s attraction burns hot enough to scorch the vampires, but the relationship is hindered by Richart’s secret life.  The reader can’t help but feel good with Richart’s courtship of Jenna and his loyalty to her and his friends.  Jenna is a strong woman who readers can tell will be perfect for Richart…too bad, I would have liked to have him for myself, oh well I’ll just have to decide on one of the other Guardians…hmmmm (like that would be such a hardship).

While short, this novella packs quite a punch, it reveals some new tricks the bad guys have their sleeves and there’s never a dull moment and of course it makes me hunger for my next Guardian fix.
