  <default_description>Dear Reader, 

Life is great for me. I have my chicory coffee, my warm &lt;i&gt;beignets&lt;/i&gt;, 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 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</default_description>

In this part of the series we have the usual will they or won't they get together. Sunshine the character is forgetful and at times funny and expressive.

    <body><![CDATA[This book was really good, but honestly I did not enjoy it as much as the first two in the series.  In my opinion it had too many stories weaving in and out of it.  Also, I felt like the time spent between Talon and Sunshine, was too much time spent on reminiscing about their life as Speirr and Nyni...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70842736">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Sherrilyn Kenyon has a wonderful ability to weave ancient history and mythology in a modern storyline and the story of Dark Hunter Talon of the Morrigantes and Sunshine, a quirky, absentminded artist is now a favourite.<br/><br/>Talan is an ancient Celtic warrior, cursed by the God Camulus, his hi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57673366">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I wasn't crazy about this DH book like the other ones because, gasp, I think there is too much sex in this book. The sex scenes get to the point where you're skimming because you want to get back to the story.  I realize that fundamentally, Sunshine and Talon are very sexual beings.

Therefore, he's lived the last millennium in solitude, doing his duty as a Dark-Hunter to save the human population from Daimons.

It wasn't as painful as I thought it would be.  <br/><br/>I was actually interested in the mythology of the characters...the Dark Hunters (especially Acheron)and the various gods (Greek, Celtic, Atlantean etc.) and I was happy that the vampires were actually evil.
