I was first turned on to vampire romance novels by Christine Feehans Dark novels. After about three books I was very bored by not only the exact same plot that seemed to jump from book to book, but also the heros of the book were to stuck in the old world. The books were inventive, but not fresh. Sherilyn Kenyon was a relief and I am still addicted to her novels, but new commer Kresly Cole has stole my attention from the dark-hunters to the immortals after dark.

Her writing is fresh, hip, and fast paced. Her characters are well rounded and dont fit the same stereotype from book to book (they actually have diffrent personalities)! The sexual tention is scorching through the entire book and the love stories tender.

A Hunger Like No Other is actually the second book in this series. The Warlong Wants Forever is the anthology Playing Easy To Get first introduces the words and characters with Myst (Valkrie) and Wroth(Forbearer).

A Hunger Like No Other is a great read that keeps the reader spellbound, a hard thing to do when you relize the characters are alone together with little to no secondary character interactions or action scenes until almsot half way through the book. The interactions between the two characters are riveting. Emma a young, weak "halfling" fighting against a half mad werewolf king who has taken her hostage. In the first few chapters he sexually assualts her several times and rips thier hotel to shreds while also driving up the balance of her credit card and new clothes and rental cars. Little by little he gets his sanity back. Emma gets stronger, little by little, as she faces the worst of her fears (daylight, vampires, physical plain of any sort) while he drags her from Paris to his castle in Scottland. This all builds until she has to face her father, a powerful vampire who tortured her mate for two hundred years, and seize her own destiny to become a formidable creature.

I have to say that I loved this book. I actually had to go out and buy the next one at the store because I couldn't wait for it to be shipped to me. If you like women who are, or become confident, in themselves and their own talents then read this book. It's a vampire/valkayrie and a werewolf love story that hits a more believable possibility for being around now. It balances the need we women have to feel protected with the ability we find in oursleves to protect those we love and how we want our partners to not only accept but love that. Finding that Emaline is not the weakling or monster she fears echoes many of the fears most women have of not being enough for those we love or being to selfish in what we want. Emaline finds, just as we all do, that real love wants us to be selfish and that gives us the courage to slay any demons in our paths.
The sex scenes are hot and if your shy you may blush, but I have to say my husband didn't mind(:)) The storyline flows nicely and you even get glimpses of other stories that are to follow or happening along side.
Hope you enjoy it!

I loved this book! Paranormal/supernatural stories are over-the-top by nature, of course, but this one was very well written. Kresley Cole does a great job of making you fall for these characters and to root for them. The suprenatural stuff is interesting (he's a werewolf, she's a half-valkyrie/half-vampire) but it isn't overdone and distracting. She also writes some fabulously hot sex scenes! It's also quite funny at times and very action packed in others. Check it out if you are into the whole shape-shifter/vampire/other-worldly creature romance stories. It is a fun, sexy, exciting read!

It was cliche. It was werewolves and vampires and valkyries, oh my! It was even a little trashy. But god help me, I really enjoyed it. I also have to praise a romance author that uses anatomical terms in lieu of 'throbbing manhood' and 'wet heat' (although there was some of that, too). Overall it was enjoyable, and I look forward to reading another book by this author.

Being a fan of Paranomal Romance and ownly liking Christine Feehan, I thought I would try this author and this book. I loved it!! It was a fast sexy read and I would read any of Kresley Coles books( which I have)!!!I hope she keeps them coming!!!!!
