Author Summary
She’s fed up with being fed on.
All
Miranda Thibodeaux really wants to do is survive corporate hell and be left
alone. But as the daughter of the Incubi king, being left alone isn’t on her
schedule. And as an avatar to a goddess with multiple personality issues,
taking things in stride isn’t either.
Daniel
looks like an ordinary surfer boy—T. T. B.--Tall, Tanned, and Blond. Hot he may
be, but ordinary he’s not. Beneath the pretty packaging lies a ruthless
warrior, a servant to the Vampire Council. His mission is to find Miranda and
present her to the council, then get the hell out of Dodge before he loses his
focus. The last thing he needs is the distraction of the testy female.
When
circumstances force Miranda to turn to T.T.B. for help, they both end up with
more than they bargained for. And that normal human life she wanted? Not really
doable when everyone wants a piece of her...
My Thoughts
This
novel is seriously HOT! From Chapter 1
through to the end. Since the heroine is an incubus, it’s to be expected. Wall
sex, shower sex, dressers, beds and floors…well you get the idea. When an
incubus is involved, expect things to happen anywhere, anytime.
And all
of it is fantastic and titillating, but really, what I liked most about this
novel is the unexpected entertainment value I got from it. The detailed
worldbuilding, the storyline and the heroine surprised me.
There’s
a whole world built around a society of covens, a Vampire Council and Guardians
who worked for the Council. We get a glimpse into the politics surrounding each.
There are elements of fantasy and mythology as well. It’s obvious that the
author took her time to build this world and ensure the setting, culture,
characters and other details blended nicely.
Then a
great storyline emerges telling us how vampires can no longer be born and
haven’t for 100 years, and how the heroine will play a significant role in bringing
about a change. Throw in a badass villain to muddy things up, a hot as hell
hero (or two) and I was a happy happy reader.
There
are plenty of action scenes (not just sex) but actual fighting where our
heroine shines and kicks some serious ass. I really liked the heroine, Miranda,
and found her to have many dimensions to her character. She actually had a
human upbringing and we see how she struggled to accept what she was and what
she now has to do to survive. Despite it all, she amazingly holds onto her
individuality and independence. As bothered as she is by some things she has to
do, she accepts her fate and learns how to deal with it best she can.
There
are lots of great characters, both human and supernatural. I would like to have
seen a little more development of the hero Daniel. But this is the first in a
series, so I imagine my curiosity will be fulfilled in upcoming novels. I found
the villain to be particularly compelling. Despicable but still very
convincing.
So
bottom line is if you are looking for a very erotic supernatural tale with a
good storyline, strong worldbuilding with elements of fantasy and mythology,
Hunger Embraced will do it for you. I really enjoyed my reading experience and happily
recommend it!
Happy Reading!!
