There’s nothing Jasper Maxwell likes better than a good chase. He is patient and cunning, and he is known as one of the coldest hunters in the immortal realm. As a vampire with a hint of demon blood in him, he stands out even amongst the finest trackers in the shifter world. So the fact that his mate has managed to escape him for the past five decades is something that keeps him intrigued and more obsessed with every passing year. The game is beyond delicious until a century old enemy resurfaces, putting his sweet little mate in danger. At that point, he has no choice but to secure her. Leah Ferry enjoys immortality almost as much as she thrills at the cat and mouse game she’s playing with the Maxwell hunter. Once human, she figured she’d live her life wearing pearls and vacuuming in pressed dresses only to be thrown into the immortal world where freedom is intoxicating. On a mission to take down degenerate humans and make them pay, things go wrong, so per her usual arrangement, she starts to run. But this time, her sexy and deadly vampire mate stands in her way. She quickly learns that the sensual chase between them was nothing compared to the real danger coming for her. Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.

As is usually the case with this author’s short stories, this was a quick and exciting read. There is action, emotions, chemistry, and love. Plus, it’s a great introduction to the faithful Dark Protectors readers as to how the world is working now that there is a sort of understanding between the Kurjans and the rest of the paranormal world. Or is there?
Jasper is ready to take Leah as his wife in more than just name and the occasional feeding. Leah is a badass. She was severely injured while working with the resistance during WWII, that is how she became Jasper’s mate. He wasn’t ready to settle down and understood Leah was too fiercely independent to want to either. But Jasper’s time is running out if the family curse is to be believed, but can Leah be tamed?
I love that Jasper understood when Leah needed to spread her wings and when she needed someone else to make the decisions. While she’s not used to someone else being in charge, it’s tiring to always be the leader. Leah eventually realized she could fully trust Jasper and was able to give herself over to him when needed.
I’m so happy that another new book will be coming in this series next year. This story proved there are still many entities out there that don’t want peace.
