Publisher's Summary

The Warlord Wants Forever...the sensually charged novella that started it all, now with an exclusive excerpt from MacRieve!

In this scorching series opener, New York Times best seller Kresley Cole introduces the captivating Immortals After Dark series. The book also includes an exclusive extended excerpt from MacRieve, the highly anticipated next installment in the series.

The Warlord

Nikolai Wroth, a ruthless vampire general, will stop at nothing to find his bride, the one woman who can "blood" him, making his heart beat and filling him with strength. Coldly interested only in the power his bride will bring, he can hardly believe when Myst the Coveted awakens him body - and soul.

The Seductress

Famed throughout the world as the most beautiful Valkyrie, Myst has devoted her life to protecting a magical jewel and to fighting the vampires.

Wroth provides her with the perfect opportunity to torment her sworn enemy - for with his new heartbeat comes a consuming sexual desire that can be slaked only by her. Denying him, she flees, struggling to forget his searing, possessive kiss.

The Hunt is on

She eludes him for five years, but he has finally chased her to ground and stolen her enchanted jewel, giving him absolute power over her. Now that she's his for the taking, he intends to make her experience firsthand the agonizing, unending lust she subjected him to for half a decade. Yet when Nikolai realizes he wants far more than vengeance from Myst and frees her, will she come back to him?

Awesome

Having loved the series for ever, listening to someone else read it was at 1st odd but definitely grew on me. As much as I found his ‘female voice’ off a bit, his voices for the males was the perfectly delicious ruggedness.... the stuff of alpha male dreams. Very good job.

Romance between a reluctant Valkyrie and Vampire

I really enjoyed the unique take on a paranormal romance. The author did a solid job of world building and having never read a book with Valkyries in it before, this was a great addition for me. I rated 4 stars instead of 5 because, although I'm a big fan of steamy scenes, I found this story had more of those than actual plot development. I enjoy a bit more of a story line, especially when there's such an exciting and fiesty couple. I really liked the narrator but like a couple of other reviewers found his female voices a bit strange, especially when doing Myst's voice during an intimate scene. I found her gasps and some of the phrases, etc. from female characters a bit wispy and comical at times. I loved Nikolai's voice and accent though. It wasnt too much of long of a story and I'd listen to this author and narrator again.

Book 1 in Kresley Cole's IAD series

Would you consider the audio edition of The Warlord Wants Forever to be better than the print version?

I have only listened to audio, but narrator Robert Petcoff brings this to life as he does for the entire series.

What other book might you compare The Warlord Wants Forever to, and why?

Kresley's IAD series is unique to other fantasy stories as she creates a world which makes the mind believe the creatures are possibly living next door or leaves you checking out strangers in super markets....lol.

Have you listened to any of Robert Petkoff’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Robert is flawless in each book.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

What comes around....???

Any additional comments?

A stimulating book introducing this amazing series, which is fun, addictive, sexy, steamy, modern and old at the same time, but always entertaining. I found nothing to equal the writing, narration, and the world that is of demons, witches, vampires, valkyries, werewolves and more. Kresley your IAD universe needs to continue.
