RITA Award-winning author Kresley Cole continues her bestselling Immortals After Dark series with this electrifying tale of a ruthless demon mercenary and the lovely young halfling who enchants him. A seductive beauty he can
never have, yet can't resist... Cadeon Woede will stop at nothing to atone for the one wrong that will haunt him forever. But once he secures the key to his redemption, the halfling Holly Ashwin, Cade finds that the woman he thought he could use for his own ends and then forget haunts him as much as his past. A tormented warrior she
should fear, but can't deny... Raised as a human, Holly never knew that some frightening legends are real until she encounters a brutal demon who inexplicably guards her like a treasure. Thrust into a sensual new world of myth and power, with him as her protector, she begins to crave the demon's wicked touch. Surrender to dark desires... Yet just when he earns Holly's trust, will Cade be forced to betray the only woman who can sate his wildest needs -- and claim his heart? |

Score for Cade |
This book is about making the right choice. Gamble wrong and you loose everything - Gamble right and you win everything. Cade is a rage demon that has been looking for his mate for over 900 hundred years. When he finally finds Holly he is 99% sure she is his life mate but it turns out she is human and he can never have her (so he thinks). Over these same 900 years Cade has been trying to help his brother win back his crown/kindom. Which will help Cade regain his brother's faith in him and remove the shame placed on him for causing his brother to loose his crown.
This is a wonderfully written story about choices, love (with steamy scenes), and honor. I enjoy the cat and mouse games that Cade and Holly play as the get to know one another. I also like how Cade and Holly play on an intellectual level. I think this book had a lot of seduction however, I would have ejoyed a few more hot demon love scenes. This book also has some of my favorite characters re-surface like Nix and Reign. This book will definitely keep you entertained and interested. |

What's A Demon to Do? |
Cadeon Wode is a demon - a good guy though- who happens to have promised a few things he can't deliver to a few people he absolutely can't let down. It was through his own unfortunate actions that his brothers throne was lost a few centuries ago and their people, not to mention his brother, have been suffering ever since. So his very last chance for redemption is to simply deliver a woman, the magical female who has been prophesied to be the mother of a warrior that could change the course of the entire supernatural world to a crazy evil mage in exchange for a sword guaranteed to slay his enemy.
The problem: she's the one woman fate and destiny have been waiting for him not to be able to resist. In fact she's the only mate he could ever possibly have, and betraying her would basically destroy both their lives.
Since he's been stalking her for months it's relatively easy to get to her- you know besides that have dozen cult guys he has to take out. But protecting her and making her see that she loves him will be the hard parts. Especially when he's trying not to hurt her or his brother and he can't have it all...or can he?
This was another great installment of a near perfect series. I wasn't quite as thrilled with the ending on this one since it seemed a tad rushed but it's a very memorable book I highly recommend.

Hot! extremely exciting. A rush. |

Cadeon and Holly worked. Holly got on my nerves at first. But, she drastically improved once she accepted the Turn. Cadeon was a screw-up that got it right. Really right. I didn't really, so much, blame him for losing Rydstrom's Judgmental butt his Kingdom, or killing Neomi. He was a lot to handle. And Holly was wonderful at handling him. I cheered when he kill Groot. Next that A-hole Omort. Go Rydstrom! |

not as good as the rest |
|
I didn't care for this book as much as the others. The main characters weren't very likable. Cade willing to trade his mate and Holly willing to cheat on her boyfriend, didn't make the usual happy couple. The story was long and Holly and her problems quickly became tiresome. Cade lied the entire time and traded her for a sword. In the end Holly forgives him way to quickly. |

Great book,keeps getting better |
|
Kresley Cole is one of my favorite romance writers. Her books only take me a day or two to get through. The love scenes are hot and never get boring or repetitive. The stories are always interesting and different from each other. I can't say which is my favorite, I also enjoy how they all tie together. I can't wait for some of the background characters to get their own book, or at least I hope they do. Rydstorm's story is next and sounds promising. |
