Tiberius and Caris were mates for centuries, which isn’t really a long time for vampires. They fought together and loved together until the night that Caris disappeared and when she returned, she had been changed into something that all vampires feared. Tiberius was torn between his love for Caris and his duty to protect his people. Politics and passion warred in Tiberius, until the gap between those two decisions tore them apart with a deep divide between them. The decision that he made changed...more
It's been along time between books but I was surprised that I was able to remember things about Tiberius and Caris.
Of course they weren't involved, instead it seemed like they were enemies.
I liked Tiberius; he's older than dirt which means he stronger then most, he loves with all his being and he loyal to a fault.
I liked Caris; she driven, strong, intelligent and determined.
I was so glad these two reconnected and didn't fight their feelings for one another. They just went with it, it felt right...more

I have been hooked on this story from the beginning and this book just keeps me coming back for more.

What would you do if you got a second chance with the only person you had ever loved? (And given the fact that Tiberius is an immortal vampire that is a very long time)
What would you do if you got a chance to correct the biggest mistake you've ever made?
And if you were on the other side of this coin? What if you were the person who was betrayed, who's heart got rip from your chest: could you forgive?

I really enjoyed this book. The books before Tiberious seemed like an untouchable hardass politician, but this book really showed you the real "man" behind everything. I loved the story of him and Caris. I also like the extra little novella afterward of when Tiberous first met Caris.
It could have been a 4 star if they weren't so repetitive for the first half of the book. I almost gave up but my friend told me he loved it, so I gave it a shot. It was a great book at the end, though and I am glad I finished it.
This is a very good series. When I read her first three books, I couldn't wait for the next installment. They are dark, exciting and romantic. Just my kind.
100 pages of this less than 400 page book are previews of other JK Beck books. I feel cheated
Story is 3-1/2 stars

Good book. I've enjoyed all the books in this series so far. They aren't real deep but still enjoyable and well above fluff.
The 5 stars does not include Midnight (book 3.5 in the series). Even though it's in the back of this book I have not read it yet. I plan on counting that as a book on it's own.
Tiberius and Caris

This was my least favorite of the series thus far. Not a lot of action and much of it read like more of a detective caper than a gritty vampire romance. As always, there was some steamy romance, but I just wasn't feeling it the way I have with the previous 3 books, and the ending seemed rushed.
I enjoyed the various side characters, although, at times, it was quite confusing trying to keep up with who was who. I do hope that the side characters' storylines continue to be explored in future instal...more

This book was going to be a make or break book in the series for me. I liked the first 2, but the last one was missing something. As I read this one I found my mind wandering and I kept putting it down to clean around the house, it just couldn't keep my attention. I found Tiberius to be cold, Caris blah, couldn't see why they would want the other, then they had the hold betrayal to get past. After 90 pages I realized I didn't care how things worked out with them. In the end this one wasn't for m...more
Tiberius the vampire leader who had to banish his mate and true love(Caris)for the good of his people.
Loved the inner fight within their selves, Caris believing that Tiberius had forsaken her for the good of his people, then later finding out that Tiberius never stopped loving her and continued to do everything he could to keep her save.
This really was a great story, seeing these to characters come together again.

I have to say this is my fave out of the entire series so far. This story has been in the making since the first book and I just love Caris she was witty and strong after all she endured. Nothing but goodness about this book :)
Done!! Took me a while cuz I've had so much going on. But I enjoyed this book :-) I like this series. Both characters were strong & held my attention. This author has surely grown on me. I enjoy the world & how it all works.
Rated 3.5

See my review of "When Passion Lies" by J.K. Beck on the Romance Reviews page in June 2012!
It was good. I really liked the end when Tiber said he would give up chairman for Caris.
if you can't be at your men side then what have you got
The books are my guilty pleasure!
