So to say this wasn’t my favorite one would sound a bit odd, but, I think it’s a tie between this one and book two. Love.” He leaned forward and pressed his forehead to mine. “I am beginning to remember what it means to need things.

“I am beginning to remember-” He stopped, shook his head, then started again.

As was possession, obsession, jealousy….Just….sigh. And, I’m not going to lie, it was short-lived and didn’t occur regularly….but it was there. I finally got the last in my long wishlist of Ethan wants and needs- protectiveness. “Stay just the way you are.”Įthan was, for a lack of a better word, adorable in this one. “You are a wonder of vampiric strength, yet you treasure your humanity and care greatly about those who were in your life before your change. Let me rephrase-While I am in love with the build-up of something much, much larger between these two stubborn vampires, I’m also very aware of the other characters and the mystery that surrounds each and every page. So when I think of this story, it doesn’t wholly revolve around Ethan and Merit *lies lies lies*. They don’t need only a boy and a girl circling each other to fuel the events of the book-there’s always a mystery, always a need to save or protect or serve the house. She defends those in her house and stands behind the person that made her-despite all the sexually unresolved….occurrences….she knows that her goal is to, ultimately, keep Ethan safe. Underneath all this sexual anxiety is a hidden story where Merit is just a girl trying to find (and keep) her place in this new world. Do you disagree?”īut it would be so sad to claim that was all this book had going for it-there’s so much more. “You know, like spectacle”-she paused to point at her breasts-“but with more dude nipples. “On the other hand, they’re the ones creating this pec-tacle.”

But in this installment, we finally got to see, shall we say, some of the goods. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that it’s been a long time since I’ve had this intense of a bout of butterflies so consistently. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt butterflies since book one in such a long series. There isn’t much to say on my end that hasn’t been said, but I sure do love to try. The sexual tension, the angst, the battles, the jealousy-boy oh boy was I in my element. “In my very, very long life, I need you more than I have ever needed anything.”Įeeeeeep finally! That’s all I’ll say on that note. I am a man.” He stroked my cheeks with his thumbs. And that means when I’m with you, I am less than the head of this House…and I am more than the head of this House.
