Is the warrior willing to risk his body, his soul, and his heart, for Serra? Or will one last betrayal destroy them both?
Praise for Born in Blood
"Ivy's fans will be invested in the development of romances introduced between supporting characters as well as further building of this conflicted universe." --Publishers Weekly"An exciting and sizzling new paranormal romance series." --RT Book Reviews

This is not going to be a nice review, or even a politely critical one - it is more of a rant. I apologize in advance for this. This is a famous author and I have to wonder why all of the first timer mistakes. Granted, until this series I had never read a word by her so maybe this is the way she always writes.

I had such high hopes for this book AND this series. I really have to agree with the reviewer who said that this was a "misrepresented" book.

Was the heroine kick ass? No, she was a whiner who couldn't even do her job even though she is supposedly one of the most powerful.

Was the hero a steely, hot, sexy, good looking, brooding, smelly, sweaty, grimacing man - well yes; and didn't that just get on my last nerve to have this regurgitated nearly every other page.

Was this an action romance or was this urban fantasy - neither.

Again agreeing with the other reviewer - had I had to read the word grim or grimace just one more time I would too have pulled out my own eye balls.
