You guys where looking for something ORIGINAL?
Well you've found it!!!
This is a great series, very entreating, and I just wanna read more and more. I never thought I would like it so much as the ratings of it are a bit low, but IMHO this series is totally worth to be read.
In this installment we get to read about a totally new supernatural species to me, the Nymphs. They are a species that needs sex to stay strong, and one of the fiercest of them all. They are also mostly men; powerful-strong-hot-sexy-breath-taking men,LOL.
The hero of this book is their king, Valerian. I was told he was an egocentric and vain hero,difficult to like, but what a lie that was. I adored Valerian. He may have been self-centered at the beginning but he totally proved to be a worthy male when he had and needed to be. At the end I was feeling towards him like a newborn puppy feels towards his new owner,LOL, I was irrevocably in love with him. He may have been a womanizer but it was before he met the heroine (his mate), so I would never punish him for that, specially because he needed the women, I mean he is a Nymph, you just can't blame the guy for being what he is. He was loyal to the core and caring when he had to be. A strong and powerful hero too. I just loved to read about Valerian.
The heroine was great as well. She had a terrible past with a family who was never there for her, not only that but made her think she could never trust anybody, not even love because they would use that to hurt her at the end. I just felt bad for her and couldn't even blame her when she kept trying to stay away from the hero. How can you love someone when you did never learn how to do so? And that she was able to accomplish this at the end only proves how strong their love was.
Now I'm not sure which species I like the most,lol, Dragons or Nymphs? **SIGH** can I have both?
While I love this series, I'm pretty sure I wont ever read it again. It's one of those you love to read, but just once, not a fav.But definitely a must read for paranormal romance fans!

I really love this series. While it is not an obsession I am having a great time reading it. Although I felt like book 2 was not part of the series. Books 1 and 2 were amazing though.
This cover and title made this one of the most...interesting books I checked out of the library. I remember most the funny greeting card sayings and the part where the sexy hero shows the heroine that most erotic part of a woman is her...mind.Wonderful review Vale!

I'm a rebel like that! But seriously, I saw the book and I put it on my wish list on Amazon b/c it had a nymph theme. My friend bought it for me for my birthday. I had no idea it was part of a series!
I'm not sure that's a valid excuse. Hmmm, here with Dhes we are gonna to discuss if we can forgive you.LOL.

Have you gone back and read the others?
I've read all of them except The Vampire's Bride. It's still on the pile. I think this is the best one, but I liked the others pretty well too.Thanks for forgiving me, girls. I can sleep better now!
girl, you make me so curious. but as you pointed out RL is a bitch which we have to obey (sometimes) so not enough time for books
I was going to try to get through the LOTU books first, but I do have it on one of my big piles in my room.

Lol, Lady D. I'm getting one for Christmas for that reason! Well that and it seems ridiculous that my book is an ebook and I don't have a reader to read it on. :)

Oh, I love my piles of paper books. I do have a Kindle, as well. But, I am a big fan of having a book in my hands.

Sure :)
hahaha hey ive read the book out of order too .. (mainly bc unless ya look online when i got ther first one .. The Vampires Bride - Layals story they arent NUMBERED) but i found it doesnt make much of a diff only thing that doesnt add up is the conversations between the hero and sometimes other charecters about things that happen (as an example .. In this book towards the end Valerian and Layel talk and Valerian asks layel If he has found the Jewel (or atlantis) yet and he replies that no its now in the hands of a human ...) since this is from book 2 that i havent read (apart from reviews) would have been a Huh? moment had i not had the book as well :) (only read book 3 and four so far)
