Dark Desires After Dusk by Kresley Cole
4.0
4.5 STARS
"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. 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. 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?" (From Amazon).
Definitely my favourite book from the series (so far anyway) and that is due to Cade and Holly. Holly is different in that she did not know about this world so we get to experience it with her. It was really neat in the way that Cole used Holly's anxieties and OCD traits in this novel. I LOVED Cade. He is this strong responsible man who has guilt dripping from every pore over losing his brother's throne. A great novel!
