Leopold's Wicked Embrace by Kym Grosso

5.0

One of the oldest vampires to walk the earth, Leopold Devereoux is dangerous, sexy, and one you do not want to get entangled with. When he finds a baby left to die in the snow, it unleashes a rage Leopold has not felt in a long time. As Leopold vows to protect the innocent babe, he knows he needs help figuring out what is trying to attack the babe. Seeking out Laryssa Theriot and enlisting her help is a bit of an uphill battle. The woman who is holding secrets is one of few who are not afraid of Leopold, she is a rarity.

Leopold never wanted to be vulnerable again, he has kept his heart shielded and although some would consider his life lonely, he sees it as guarded. However in the last few months he has befriended a wolf and now has this desire to claim Laryssa as his own. He has a dark side to him though that he knows will push Laryssa away and even though he would like nothing more than to keep her, he has to let her go. Problem is Laryssa is determined to break down the walls Leopold has and even though she has her own demon to deal with, she needs Leopold by her side.

What a delight. I have been anxiously waiting for Leopold's story and it did not disappoint. Leo wowza, he is dark sensual and Laryssa is sassy and mouthy which keeps Leo off kilter. All your favorite characters are in this one and the story is unexpected and full of surprises.
