Fun Paranormal Road Romance (B+ Grade) Oct 21, 2009 Since the titles in Kresley Cole's Immortal After Dark Series have become so confusing, I have nicknamed this one, Cade: The One With the Likable Horns. Alas, his horns were not licked during the story but this is another worthy addition to Cole's paranormal series that should not be missed.
Caedon Woede is a rage demon who is trying to help his brother, Rydstrom retrieve his magical crown so he can take back his kingdom he lost. Cadeon will do anything to get his brother's crown back even if it means sacrificing his one true mate, Holly. Cade has been watching or rather peeping on her ever since they met. He can never have her because she is human after all and if he tries to mate with her, she wouldn't be able to survive. So, Cade has a constant case of blue balls.
One night Holly is attacked and about to be raped so she can conceive the spawn of evil, but Cade comes to her rescue in time. Holly finds out she is part Valkyrie and the vessel to carry the spawn that can either become a product of good or evil and help change the world. This has only come out now because Holly has been repressed. She holds back all types of sexual urges and likes everything to be in perfect harmony. Cade and Holly go on the road and she thinks Cade is trying to protect her and find someone who can change her back into human, while Cade needs to deliver her to the one person who can help him get Rydstrom's crown and thus the key to the kingdom.
If you like road romances, Dark Desires is the perfect read for you. I had so much fun over the bantering and bickering back and forth between Cade and Holly. Talk about total opposites! Cade is a porn loving slob while Holly has OCD and the thought of sex gets her very scared because she feels if she loses it in the heat of the moment, she will hurt the man she is with because of her Valkyrie strength. I know some had issues with Holly and her being so repressed and stiff but what I enjoyed the most is how Holly was able to break free of her self imposed bonds and become more empowered within herself. Cade helped her realize who she is and held her hand so to speak. Plus, they way Cade helps her release her pent up feelings is oh, so good.
These two were a riot to read even though I wanted to bop Cade over the head at one point because of a certain situation he places Holly in, but again, Cade has to sacrifice a part of himself for his brother. In my eyes that made him a worthy hero.

Excellent story Oct 19, 2009 This is only my second dip into the Immortals After Dark, and boy am I glad I found this series so far. Cade is a great hero who loves his heroine from afar. He is everything that Holly needs and doesnt know it. He brings her to life, and at the same time throughout the story he adjusts to her as well. He takes care of her and tries to please her, and is a perfect teacher for the world that she finds herself thrust into. He is by far not perfect but what great hero is? She is this insane wreck of a character that you just cant wait to see get a little mussed, and cant wait to see her grow into the character she becomes. The story itself is quick and a definate page turner. I never wanted the story to end. I love Cole's writing style and can't wait to pick up more in this series. I would most highly recommend this book.

Great fantasy romance!! Sep 17, 2009 I was always just into the usual vampire fantasy romance novels. Then I read a few of the pages of the first book in this series on Amazon. I didn't want it to stop so I knew that I had to get this book series. It has been awesome and I can hardly wait till Christmas so that I can get the rest.
