Book Description

Publication Date: February 26, 2008

For eight hundred years Nicolas Montfaucon has dedicated his life to preventing the rebirth of an immortal evil. But now a terrible storm has assaulted unsuspecting New Orleans—and the beast walks the earth once more. "The Devourer" has been awakened, and there is only one in the besieged city who can help Nicolas defeat the foul creature—a mysterious and beautiful enigma who haunts the handsome Revenant's erotic waking dreams and enflames his passionate obsessions.

Chessa Tomas is not an ordinary policewoman. A vampire, she works only at night, patrolling a seamy and unseen underworld of roiling chaos. Though Nicolas is sensuality incarnate, Chessa wants no part of him or his kind—but she cannot close her eyes to the unholy malevolence that would consume their world. And Nicolas has uncovered the secret lust that rules her—a steaming, uncontrollable desire he intends to unleash, bending Chessa to his will by making her most forbidden fantasies real.

More About the Author

Up until recently, award-winning author Delilah Devlin lived in South Texas at the intersection of two dry creeks, surrounded by sexy cowboys in Wranglers. These days, she's missing the wide-open skies and starry nights, but loving her dark forest in central Arkansas with its eccentric characters and isolation--the better to feed her hungry muse! To Delilah, the greatest sin is driving between the lines because it's comfortable and safe. Her personal journey has taken her through one war, many countries, cultures, jobs and relationships to bring her to the place she travels now--writing sexy novels that hold more than a kernel of autobiography and often share a common thread of self-discovery and transformation.

"Delilah Devlin really delivers what readers crave in an erotic vampire romance with Book #2, SEDUCED BY DARKNESS of her blistering hot Dark Realms series for Avon Red (March 2008). In present day New Orleans, 800-year-old Revenant Nicolas Mountfaucon is on the hunt for an immortal monster that has escaped his chained coffin from a mausoleum due to the high flood waters of Bayou St. John. The unspeakably evil demon is a haunting reminder of his past and could destroy the world. Chessa Tomas is a Born Vampire, who refuses to take her rightful place in the vampire world beside her centuries old, beautiful grandmother, Inanna, who is the Mistress of the vampires and revenants. Instead Chessa chooses to live among humans as a police detective to protect them from the evils of the world. Chessa has always yearned for her former police partner, Rene Broussard, who has left town with his new vampire lover, Natalie Lambert. Nic hopes that now he might have a chance with Chessa for a deeper relationship that doesn't just involve hot sex. However, first Nic has to convince Chessa of the secret side of her nature that needs to be dominated. As they team up to catch and destroy the demon, will Nic and Chessa find they're perfect mates for each other? SEDUCED BY DARKNESS is an absolutely riveting, scorching hot contemporary vampire tale that also flashes back in time to 14th century France. With its riveting, complex plot and fascinating cast of characters readers will be kept guessing about the book's conclusion until the very end. Delilah Devlin is a truly remarkable stand-out talent in erotic paranormal romance and SEDUCED BY DARKNESS proves this!"

I really loved this book I could not put it down. The action starts on the first few pages and just keeps going. There is no real slow spots. My only sad part is the ending is a cliff hanger and "Hello" where is the sequel? I am waiting. Have mercy on me already!

5.0 out of 5 stars Seduced by Darkness, August 7, 2008

This review is from: Seduced By Darkness (Dark Realm, Book 2) (Paperback)

Police officer Chessa Tomas is a vampire. Her patrol consists of policing the chaotic underworld of New Orleans and never seen aspects of the world that humans or `ordinary' people never see. She knows that without rules evil would take over and that is not acceptable to her. Her attention to duty and her job doesn't allow for romantic involvements - especially not interludes with a sensual Revenant named Nicolas Montfaucon.

Nicolas Montfaucon is being haunted by dreams of passion and desire. For 800 years Nicolas has lived and breathed his mission of not allowing an immortal beast to rise again. However, when a horrific storm batters New Orleans, Nicolas is unable to prevent "the Devourer' from awakening. The only person who can help him? The beautiful female vampire of whom he dreams of nightly.

Nobody writes dark and erotic vampire romances like Delilah Devlin. In Seduced in Darkness she has woven a timeless tale of good versus evil. Each character's desire for good, while being something generally thought of as innately evil, was written with intensity and believable characterization. I found myself immersed in the sights, sounds, and pandemonium that is the city of New Orleans and loved it.

Seduced in Darkness is my kind of vampire romance. It was steamy, erotic and suspenseful. I thoroughly enjoyed every word I read.
