The Warlord Wants Forever (Immortals After Dark Book 1)
Discover a dark and wicked new world in Kresley Cole’s remastered tale “The Warlord Wants Forever,” the first scorching installment in her #1 New York Times bestselling Immortals After Dark series...
The Warlord
Nikolai Wroth, a ruthless Vampire general, will stop at nothing to find his Bride, the one woman who can “blood” him, making his heart beat and filling him with strength. Coldly interested only in the power his Bride will bring, he can hardly believe when Myst the Coveted awakens him body—and soul.
The Seductress
Famed throughout the world as the most beautiful Valkyrie, Myst has devoted her life to protecting a magical jewel and to fighting the vampires. Wroth provides her with the perfect opportunity to torment her sworn enemy—for with his new heartbeat comes a consuming sexual desire that can only be slaked by her. Denying him, she flees, struggling to forget his searing, possessive kiss.
The Hunt is on…
She eludes him for five years, but he has finally chased her to ground and stolen her enchanted jewel, giving him absolute power over her. Now that she’s his for the taking, he intends to make her experience first-hand the agonizing, unending lust she subjected him to for half a decade. Yet when Nikolai realizes he wants far more than vengeance from Myst and frees her, will she come back to him?

What part of CONSENT do authors not understand?! I only got halfway through this god-awful rape scenario/stockholm-syndrome book before I called it quits. I truly don't understand why authors feel the need to cross the line of dominant males and controlling/predatory/manipulative rapists (I don't care if there's some kind of vampire bride ritual... NO means GTFOH).
About halfway through, myst and Nikolai (whatever his name is) have some fisticuffs and he rapes her. But it's okay because it's a vampire thing and she was a bitch and didn't give it up the first time they met.... he HAD to get her back for that and she eventually begins to give into her feelings about him...(more or less it seems that his strong manipulation finally works out for him)... and he eventually tells her he's not going to make her have sex unless she says so... but he is so manipulative about it, she gives in.
Besides the inherent principle issues concerning the plot of this book... there's the fact that this book (at least the first half of it) didn't really have a lot of plot. I understand it's a paranormal romance and the romance (and sex) is an integral part of the genre... but come on. Plot matters and I found this book lacking. If I didn't want a plot in a romance novel, I'd watch porn. But I do want plot, so I read romance novels.
Sure there's conflict with the whole vampire/valkyrie, forbidden love thing... But I didn't feel it was a strong enough plot for me to continue on reading the book.
