Synopsis
Ryu Takamura
is the Dark Ones’ Assassin. He has never missed his target…until now. Until
her.
Ava Monroe is a talented geneticist who holds the key to the vampire race’s future…and perhaps her own as well.
Their attraction is explosive from the first. She would do anything to have him. He would sacrifice all to protect her.
But will their love triumph over seemingly impossible odds as they battle enemies new and old? Especially the demons from Ryu’s past? And deep within his heart?
My Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐Ava Monroe is a talented geneticist who holds the key to the vampire race’s future…and perhaps her own as well.
Their attraction is explosive from the first. She would do anything to have him. He would sacrifice all to protect her.
But will their love triumph over seemingly impossible odds as they battle enemies new and old? Especially the demons from Ryu’s past? And deep within his heart?
At 30, Ava Monroe is
one of the forefront experts in regenerative stem cell science. She is on her
way from New York city to Tokyo to provide her expertise on a project that is
on the brink of fruition.
Ryu Takamura is a Dark
One and an assassin in Jade’s guard. He is on a mission to destroy, by any
means, the research that is leading toward creating a new an unknown breed of
Dark One.
Ava and Ryu meet on the
plane to Tokyo and have an instant and overwhelming attraction to each other.
Ryu ignores this however because he feels that desiring someone shows weakness.
This ignorance only lasts so long and he finds himself ever more drawn to Ava.
But, the stakes grow higher as Ava and her group of scientists get closer to a
discovery.
Will Ryu be able to
save Ava while simultaneously destroying everything she’s ever worked for?
I don’t know why I’m
always so surprised at the fact that Aja has written another terrific book. She
has yet to let me down. I was consumed and absorbed as always in this
installment. The scenery and the story she weaves is magical.
I was giggling at Ava’s
lack of verbal filter. She is awkward and Ryu is so reserved. They were
absolutely cute together. But don’t be fooled, the chemistry between them is
crackling. So much so, that this book oozes sensuality.
I fell hard for Ryu.
Between his selfish mother who treated him poorly and how he lets his guard
down enough to tell Ava she was his first kiss? Swoon! My heart fell at his
feet.
There is never a dull
moment. Always a compelling story. I love how this author writes such strong,
alpha male characters and then shows us their vulnerability. It is written so
beautifully and it never gets old.
Recommended to anyone
who likes a well-written, fast-paced romance with originality.
I received an ARC of
this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
