Product Description

For eight hundred years Nicolas Montfaucon has dedicated his life to preventing the rebirth of an immortal evil. But now a terrible storm has assaulted unsuspecting New Orleans—and the beast walks the earth once more. "The Devourer" has been awakened, and there is only one in the besieged city who can help Nicolas defeat the foul creature—a mysterious and beautiful enigma who haunts the handsome Revenant's erotic waking dreams and enflames his passionate obsessions.

Chessa Tomas is not an ordinary policewoman. A vampire, she works only at night, patrolling a seamy and unseen underworld of roiling chaos. Though Nicolas is sensuality incarnate, Chessa wants no part of him or his kind—but she cannot close her eyes to the unholy malevolence that would consume their world. And Nicolas has uncovered the secret lust that rules her—a steaming, uncontrollable desire he intends to unleash, bending Chessa to his will by making her most forbidden fantasies real.

Scorching Stand-out Vampire Romance
"Delilah Devlin really delivers what readers crave in an erotic vampire romance with Book #2, SEDUCED BY DARKNESS of her blistering hot Dark Realms series for Avon Red (March 2008). In present day New Orleans, 800-year-old Revenant Nicolas Mountfaucon is on the hunt for an immortal monster that has escaped his chained coffin from a mausoleum due to the high flood waters of Bayou St. John. The unspeakably evil demon is a haunting reminder of his past and could destroy the world. Chessa Tomas is a Born Vampire, who refuses to take her rightful place in the vampire world beside her centuries old, beautiful grandmother, Inanna, who is the Mistress of the vampires and revenants. Instead Chessa chooses to live among humans as a police detective to protect them from the evils of the world. Chessa has always yearned for her former police partner, Rene Broussard, who has left town with his new vampire lover, Natalie Lambert. Nic hopes that now he might have a chance with Chessa for a deeper relationship that doesn't just involve hot sex. However, first Nic has to convince Chessa of the secret side of her nature that needs to be dominated. As they team up to catch and destroy the demon, will Nic and Chessa find they're perfect mates for each other? SEDUCED BY DARKNESS is an absolutely riveting, scorching hot contemporary vampire tale that also flashes back in time to 14th century France. With its riveting, complex plot and fascinating cast of characters readers will be kept guessing about the book's conclusion until the very end. Delilah Devlin is a truly remarkable stand-out talent in erotic paranormal romance and SEDUCED BY DARKNESS proves this!"

heated erotic romantic police procedural fantasy
In present day Bayou St. John, Nicholas Mountfaucom worries about the damage the flood is doing to the Morel mausoleum because inside is locked away a monster that he fears might escape. Nicholas decides to go underwater to inspect the damage when mage Simon arrives to assist him.

Converted vampire Nicholas visits Born vampire Chessy Tomas who he has sex with but pretends he is not concerned about her needs. He hides how much he cares for her because Chessy only thinks of her former police partner Rene who vanished with Natalie the vampire INTO THE DARKNESS. Nicholas warns Chessy about the monster's escape before he dominates her with more sex. Soon after Chessy meets her new partner Alex but she hopes to get rid of him as she only wants Rene as her partner. They seek nests of rogue vampires crossing the blood line by killing their host. After killing a few rogues, Chessy seeks sex from a willing partner and finds "Breadman". Alex joins them but he insists on no biting.

Meanwhile in the river lies the bodies of cops whose hearts have been torn out. The "Devourer" has escaped from his prison crypt. Nicholas is angry when he sees Alex touching Chessy and smells his sex all over her. Alex and Nicholas make it clear that they both want Chessy even as they know the recapture of the Devourer comes first.

The Devlin mythos filled with demons and Born and Created vampires seem genuine while the investigation and erotic subplots are well written but be aware there are explicit bondage scenes. Although the heroine has sex at moments when she is in trouble slowing down the non sexual subplots and the anticipated climax is a bit of a let down, readers will enjoy this heated erotic romantic police procedural fantasy.
