They've still got it! The tone
is darker and the action harsher, but fans won't be disappointed.
Vlad is never going to be boring. |

Characters are constantly on
the move even when narrator is asleep. It's a little discomfiting.

Several intense sex scenes.
When vampires get busy, the action gets intense. And hot. Very
hot. |

Villain is off the page for
most of story. Seems invincible until he's easily defeated by
Vlad's intensity. Bit by the numbers but very enjoyable. |
Summary
“Bound by Flames” by Jeaniene
Frost is the third book in the Night
Prince series. This offshoot of the Night
Huntress series is a great urban fantasy novel, and highly
recommended for any reader of urban fantasy and/or paranormal
romance. Vlad is trying to defeat his greatest enemy at the same time
he's at his most vulnerable. Leila is adjusting to becoming a
vampire, and the new reality of that existence.
Some scenes include torture and
threatened rape so this book isn't for the faint of heart. It does
include a happy ending so sensitive folks can skip a few pages and
still enjoy the rest of Jeanine
Frost's wonderful writing. She hasn't lost her touch with witty
dialogue. This is one author who is always worth full price.
