Night Embrace (A Dark-Hunter Novel, Book 3)

Dear Reader, Life is great for me. I have my chicory coffee, my warm beignets, and my best friend on the cell phone. Once the sun goes down, I am the baddest thing prowling the night: I command the elements, and I know no fear. For centuries, I've protected the innocent and watched over the mankind, making sure they are safe in a world where nothing is ever certain. All I want in return is a hot babe in a red dress, who wants nothing more from me then one night. Instead, I get a runaway Mardi Gras float that tries to turn me into roadkill and a beautiful woman who saves my life but can't remember where she put my pants. Flamboyant and extravagant, Sunshine Runningwolf should be the perfect woman for me. She wants nothing past tonight, no ties, no long-term commitments. But every time I look at her, I start yearning for dreams that I buried centuries ago. With her unconventional ways and ability to baffle me, Sunshine is the one person I find myself needing. But for me to love her would mean her death. I am cursed never to know peace or happiness-not so long as my enemy waits in the night to destroy us both. --Talon of the Morrigantes

The poor males in this series! My poor Talon...Acheron...Zarek!! I'm just glad they're all getting their happy endings eventually...hopefully, lol. So far, yay for Julian, Kyrian and Talon :)

Talon was once a Celt warrior cursed by his ancient gods. Following the murder of his sister, the dying Talon had made a deal with the goddess Artemis. He had been given one act of vengeance against the clan who betrayed him, in exchange for his soul and his eternal service as a Dark-Hunter. Talon has sworn to fight Daimons and rescue the human souls they've captured. He has never had cause to regret this choice - until he meets Sunshine Runningwolf. The unconventional Sunshine should be Talon's perfect woman. She is beautiful, sexy and isn't looking for a long-term commitment. But the more time Talon spends in her company the more he starts yearning for dreams of love and family that he buried centuries ago. But loving Sunshine would be dangerous for both of them - Talon is destined never to know peace or happiness while his enemies still seek to destroy him and everyone close to him...

Neste livro são nos apresentadas mais duas personagens - Talon - um antigo guerreiro celta que matou o filho do Deus Camulus; e Sunshine - uma mulher simples que adora arte. 

Camulus amaldiçou o Talon e toda a gente que ele ama ou que amará, irá morrer. E como já devem ter adivinhado a Sunshine vai tentar quebrar esta maldição. E com isto tudo, em Nova Orleães aparece um Deus antigo que está prestes a distruir a cidade. O Talon e dois outros Dark-Hunters (Valerius e Zarek) terão de o ajudar. Além disso, aqui conhecemos o inigmático, o charmoso e o todo poderoso Acheron - chefe dos caçadores (e pessoalmente a minha personagem preferida). 

No geral o livro foi muito interessante em termos de história "por trás", mas uma seca com a história amorosa. Esses dois são muito "sexuais" e já estava cansada de ler as lamechices deles, só queria que a história avançasse!

As part of our Menyon Book Club, I am rereading all the books in order. I've tried to approach each as if it were the first time. This book is one of the most humor-laced in the series. I mean the two leads meet when he gets rundown by a Mardi Gras float for peets sake! I love this book. You could tell that Sherrilyn was getting a real feel for what the series could be. The subtle layers that would not even come to play for ten or more books are all here. But this is a story about soulmates who find each other again after centuries. Talon and Sunshine are such a wonderful couple. Opposites in every way, but so obviously perfect for each other. I love that she allows her men to be vulnerable without sacrificing any strength. And that her women are strong on their own merit. A great story!

An ancient Celtic warrior cursed to bring death to any woman he loves, Talon prowls the night as a protector of the innocent, until in modern-day New Orleans, a Mardi Gras float brings him face to face with Sunshine Runningwolf.

Night Embrace is the second book in the Dark Hunter series. For years I have seen this author popping up, and so I decided I had to try her out. So I found Night Embrace at my local library and I picked it up before anyone else could. I had high expectations for this book and it blew me away after reading it. I don't think there was anything that I didn't like....it has everything you need in a paranormal romance!! There is such imagination in the plot and this fierce and passionate world of were's and vampires, demons, gods, and hunters. Before I even picked this up, I had a feeling that this story would be sexy and fun and I was right!!

What a pair Talon and Sunshine make together, and I was on their cheer team from the very beginning. Talon is one fierce warrior, and in the beginning he seems dark and aloof and without any emotion except for the joy he feels with his cup of coffee. Then when seeing some vampires to kill, he finds himself stuck in a pink everywhere loft, and with a quirky woman that stirs his desire like none other. Talon is quite a bit of a tortured hero we have here. He has lost his wife, child, parents and sister to his enemy. He lives a desolate life of killing and serve to Artemis. I loved Talon as the hero, and what a tasty male he is. I just wanted to gobble him up. He was protective, fierce, alpha all the way and what a fighter he is especially for Sunshine. Sunshine, well she was different, but I really liked her from the get go. She is fun, quirky, and unique. She takes everything in stride, and doesn't have panic attacks from learning about Talon, I love how accepting she is of Talon. There is quite a strong connection and what a emotional roller coaster this story is. Overall a winner of a paranormal romance. A wonderful blend of memorable characters, intense packed plot, enough steam to give you sunburn, a love story to steal your heart!! A KEEPER!!

This was my introduction to the series and I really enjoyed the world building. Talon is one of the more developed male leads.
