A woman's hunt for pleasure knows no rules . . . and no boundaries.
Escaping from a tragic past, Natalie Lambert arrives in New Orleans and falls victim to a series of strange, unearthly attacks. Now, for the first time in her life, Natalie aches with sexual desire. Confused, frightened, out of control, she struggles desperately to understand a world that is transforming around her. But soon she will be powerful and magnificent in ways she could never have imagined . . .
A ruggedly handsome Cajun policeman, Detective Rene Broussard has come to rescue Natalie in her time of greatest need. And when he inexplicably wakes in bed beside her—both burning with a lust impossible to deny—he doesn't care that a dark and vengeful enemy has brought them to this moment. All that matters is the irresistible curve of her body, the heat of her passion . . . and the forbidden pleasures the night promises.
With one sharp, sensuous, biting kiss, he will be hers for life . . . and beyond.

About the Author
Delilah Devlin resides in South Texas at the intersection of two dry creeks, surrounded by sexy cowboys in Wranglers—she likes living dangerously! To Delilah, the greatest sin is driving between the lines because it's comfortable and safe. Her personal journey has taken her through one war, many countries, cultures, jobs, and relationships to bring her to the place she travels now—writing sexy adventures that hold more than a kernel of autobiography and often share a common thread of self-discovery and transformation. She has e-published numerous books, which have garnered her awards and rave reviews. Into the Darkness embodies her wildest erotic fantasies.

New horizons to the vampire genre
I did not think that anyone would be able to have a fresh intake on the overly abused vampire genre until I read this book. It is a testament to the Ms. Devline's technique that she was able to take something that was overly written about and give it to us totally fresh and completely engrossing.
The book is fast paced, sexy as hell (yes there is a lot of sex in there as most very eager to point out but its super hot) and totally wonderful. There is even an F/F sexual encounter in the book, which I usually hate, but I found myself not minding that at all in this one. I won't go into the details of the book because others have done so already. But trust me, if you are a paranormal fan you cannot afford to miss this one.
I found myself thinking about this book even when I was at work. This used to happen to me when I was in my 20s but I have become so jaded that it did not happen again for many years now. Delilah gave this back to me with this book and I have to thank her for that.
Oh, please . . . .
This author did a couple of things that are totally amazing:
First, she wrote a book that is about three-quarters sex. (Magically compelled sex between the two protagonists; between them and others, the opposite gender and the same gender; between her and strangers; and three people at a time.)
Second, she made it boring. I would have said it couldn't be done until I read it.
Erotic yet Intriguing
I started this book last night and boy was it a real hooker!
This story is proving to be one of the most erotic novels I've read so far. Not that I'm complaining!
So far I know that it's about a newly transformed woman vampire, Natalie, who is bloodlusting and lusting for a cop, Rene, who saved her from being pecked to death by pigeons. She's managed to find herself locked away in a room with Rene.... chained naked to a bed. And of course she helps herself to a little lovin'.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story plays out. It seems like there's still something I'm missing about Natalie. Guess I'm wondering if all newly changed female vampires react the same way or is she different show how? Guess I'll find out!
UPDATE:
So, I finished this late last night. And boy, did I mention that this book was the most erotic I've ever read? I'm a sucker (puny!) for romantic vampire novels but this went beyond my comfort zone a little. Besides the romping every few minutes towards the end it spawned into a threesome between the 3 main characters. Holy smokes!
Any how, the story line was great. It was complex and complicated yet intriguing. Natalie ended up being a "Born", a child born from a born mother and human father. Borns are only female and go into their "moon phase" upon which they become sexually charged and will have sex with anything near them, practically. She ends up falling in love with Rene, and he returns the emotion. Only they both suffer from the lusting curse she has. That's why they end up with the threesome at the end. To save Natalie from those that hunt Borns they inlist the help of a mage to open a portal to a different time, I assumed, and Rene goes with Natalie to love her and raise their daughter. It was a different book than I'm used to reading just it was enjoyable, maybe just a little too much though.
