From the Keeper Closet: "The Warlord Wants Forever" Back to Blog
Time for another pick from my Keeper Closet. This time, I’m profiling a paranormal romance novella, “The Warlord Wants Forever” by Kresley Cole.
This was the first story I read by Kresley Cole, and after this one–well, I was hooked. This tale appears in the Pocket anthology Playing Easy to Get, and the story is also the first installment in Kresley’s Immortals After Dark series (A Hunger Like No Other and No Rest for the Wicked are two tales in this series).
The blurb: “Nikolai Wroth, a ruthless vampire warlord, searches for his Bride–the one woman who can render him truly alive. When his fevered chase leads to Myst the Coveted, a Valkyrie seductress who craves only freedom, a battle of domination and desire begins. Will the power of her seductive wiles overcome his strength? Or will she surrender and experience the deliciously agonizing lust that Nikolai has endured waiting for his one and only Bride?”
Why I like this novella: Because it’s brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. A sensual, emotional tale. I did not want this story to end. What a great twist on the vampire myth–and I loved the introduction of the Valkyries. Phenomenal writing, great twists and turns.
I loved this anthology 🙂
And you’re right, Kresley’s story was great… can’t remember if this was the first I’ve read of hers, but I can tell you that I couldn’t wait to buy then next in this series once it came out 🙂
