Bridget's Review, August 16, 2009
This review is from: Dark Hunger (Demonborn) (Mass Market Paperback)
Quinton isn't human. While he hasn't embraced the demon inside, he hasn't fought it either. When Annabelle, a hot young reporter sets her sights on exposing Quinton, she soon finds herself knowing a little too much about this mysterious man. A fire ignites between them and threatens to explode. Will they both set fire or will they be able to do the smart thing and douse it before it spreads out of control?
If you like hot and spicy, relentless romance, this book is for you. Racy and sexy in the best possible way. I absolutely loved it!

Oh Yeah, August 22, 2009
This review is from: Dark Hunger (Demonborn) (Mass Market Paperback)
Author Rita Herron is an award-winning author of more than thirty suspense, paranormal, and contemporary romance novels including: A Breath Away, The Eye Witness, In a Heartbeat, Last Kiss Goodbye, Say You Love Me, Don't Say a Word, Marry Me Maddie, Collecting Evidence, Under His Skin, Undercover Avenger, Epiphany, Silent Surrender, Silent Night Sanctuary and Up In Flames. In 2007, she was nominated for two Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Awards, including a Career Achievement Award.
CNN News Reporter Annabelle Armstrong doesn't believe in the paranormal. She deals in cold, hard truth, black and white- and she'll do anything to deliver a story. So when she's sent to track down Quinton Valtrez, a man long suspected of being a coldhearted assassin, the truth is even more shocking than she expected. Quinton has been fighting his demonic powers since childhood. Now working for Homeland Security in a private Ghost Cell, he uses his powers for good. Neither one can afford the overwhelming desire they feel for one another, nor can they afford the distraction. Demons want to draw Quinton into a life a pure evil and are using Annabelle to do it. After investigating a series of attacks, seemingly directed at them, they must work together to achieve the impossible or lose everything.
This book is listed as Book Two in the Demonborn Series, with Insatiable Desire coming before and Book Three's title and release to be announced. I was especially intrigued by this story because to me, it was a strong romantic suspense with paranormal elements. I found the characters and their actions to be highly believable and relatable. The setting, which takes you through areas of the south such as Savannah , Charlestown and New Orleans , was well crafted and researched. The plot flowed smoothly, drawing you in at every chapter until the end. This is not a series that you need to read Book One before attempting the second. I liked that we were able to get inside not only the heads of the good guys, but the demons as well. I will never look at a vulture the same again, and I fear I learned way more about them than I desired. I can also truly appreciate an author who can fashion in great humor where appropriate. It's no surprise why Rita Herron has been capturing readers for as long as she has.
Dark Hunger, by Rita Herron, is another winner for her fans and a fine welcome into the paranormal romance genre.

paranormal tour of Southern cities, August 2, 2009
This review is from: Dark Hunger (Demonborn) (Mass Market Paperback)
CNN reporter Annabelle Armstrong believes she has a strong story involving reclusive Quinton Valtrez; she feels he is an assassin and plans to prove it. However, when she finally meets the enigmatic man, Annabelle feels a stunning attraction to him.
A half-breed demon human, Quinton Valtrez has spent his life trying to control his dark side. He currently works for Homeland Security's top secret Ghost Cell hunting down paranormal predators. To his chagrin, he is attracted to the nosy intrepid journalist.
They soon learn of a pending terrorist attack that each hopes to prevent from happening; to do so they must team up though each fears doing so as their desire feels overwhelming. The evidence points towards demons bent on world domination behind the planned assault, but given the facts Annabelle refuses to believe in paranormal bogeymen until she is captured. Now Quinton has to save the purebred he loves while knowing if he succeeds she will see his tainted soul and her human DNA will knee jerk react by loathing his demonic half.
With a paranormal tour of Southern cities, the second Demonborn urban romantic fantasy (see INSATIABLE DESIRE) is an entertaining thriller starring a disbelieving reporter and a hybrid proof. The story line focuses on their relationship over the paranormal anti-terrorism action making the romantic subplot supersede the fantasy that runs throughout. Still fans of the sub-genre will enjoy the engaging DARK HUNGER.
