Bronwyn left everything behind when she left with Ronan. She became what he needed her to be and forgot the rest. Too bad the past won't stay in the past.
Rider bursts back into her life uninvited, and is not the man she remembers. There is an edge to him that was not there before. Bronwyn is torn by guilt over what he has become and anger at being blamed for it.
When Ronan ended his maker’s life, he inherited a line of vampires and a whole set of problems to go along with it. Bronwyn must decide if their love is worth it, worth the killing, and the constant disruption of their lives.
Is love enough? Can Bronwyn find herself again and strike a balance between who she wants to be and who Ronan needs her to be? Or will she lose herself all over again?

Bronwyn stopped in her tracks when she saw someone very familiar leaning against the building across the street, dressed head to toe in leather. “I’m guessing you all decided on a field trip at the same time?” She said sarcastically, as she zipped across the street.
“Well, someone has to clean up after his mess,” Carly scoffed.
Bronwyn’s lips thinned out, “I saw him, earlier. He seems to be out of control.”
“Hmmm, I wonder why that is?” Carly pressed a finger to her lips in mock concentration.
“Look, I don’t need a lecture from you, too. I got enough from Seraph.”
Carly smiled. “You know, I want so bad to stay mad at you. It would be a heck of a lot easier if I did. But, it’s too damn good to see you.”
Bronwyn’s tough exterior melted, “I know. I’ve missed you so much. Is Tuck here, too?”
“He’s looking for Rider; we followed him here. I didn’t even know you were back in the States. Seraph told us, yesterday.” There was a hint of something in Carly’s voice.
“Look, I know this is an f-ed up situation. I had to make a clean break, though. I couldn't live half in and half out with Ronan.”
“You ruined him.” Carly’s voice was harsh.
Bronwyn laughed. “Really? Rider is a big boy; far older than I am. His choices are his own. Did you really come here to make me feel guilty? If so, you may as well leave now.” Bronwyn’s tone was cool.
“Who are you?” Carly took a step back.
“I’m the same person I’ve always been, Carly, I’m just not fighting it anymore.” Bronwyn leaned in and kissed Carly’s cheek before heading off into the night.
Love and Blood
Favorite Line(s) “This is why I’m here, Wyn. I have never found this with another, in all of my years. You make me crazy; I can practically taste the lust dripping off of you as though it were blood.”
“You need to wake up. You’re tearing yourself apart and you don't even know it.” She turned and faced Rider, next. “You need to walk away from this; he has already won. You and I both know it. You can delude yourself into thinking she’ll choose you; but she won’t”
Man what a fabulously frustrating story!
My heart breaks for Ryder, Seraph, and Carly! Bronwyn can't decide between Ryder and Ronan. She should totally pick Ryder. They may be Vampire but, Ronan is a crazy murdering of innocents! Watching Bronwyn change when ever Ronan was around was so heartbreaking! Then she picked Ryder and things were nice but, after a friend dies Bronwyn wants to pain to stop and goes with Ronan! So so sad!
This author did amazing she made it all ring true! I felt like I was there it was amazing! I am dying to read next book!

Blood & Sacrifice
Favorite Line(s) “See, that’s the problem, you all keep expecting me to be someone else. I’ve changed, he’s changed. The only ones who have stayed the same are you guys. The sooner you come to terms with that, the better off you will be.”
“Unless you like to listen, you should probably leave for a few hours. Things are about to get...” He stopped talking, his eyes never leaving Bronwyn’s.”
“Sleep now, love, we have a long journey ahead of us.”
Holy smokes this author loves me make you go what!!! As with the first book in this series Bronwyn is still finding herself. I think she changes ALOT but, I understand why. It's easy to get sucked in and Ronan sucks her easily!
In this book she is still with Ronan but, Rider has cracked! He is broken without her. The only thing now is Bronwyn doesn't show she cares. All of her old friends keep asking her, Who are you?? I don't think even she knows. She loves Ronan and has changed him a little too for the better. I do wish these books were longer only cuz I need more! This one ends with a WAIT WHAT HAPPEN?!?!? The author did good with that!
Amazing writing, easy to lose yourself in the book, and oh my yumminess!! I am dying to know when the next book comes out!
