About this listen

 Rafael De La Cruz has spent centuries hunting vampires with his brothers. With each passing year, his capacity to feel emotions has grown weaker and weaker, until finally there's barely a memory of one left - only sheer willpower keeps him from turning into the very abomination he hunts. But it'll take more than will to keep him away from the woman who is meant to be his and his alone.

For five years, rancher Colby Jansen has been the sole protector of her younger half-siblings, and with fierce determination and work she has kept her family together and the ranch operational. Now, the De La Cruz brothers are threatening that stability. They claim that her siblings belong with their father's family, not with her. Colby vows to fight them - especially the cold and arrogant Rafael De La Cruz. But Rafael is after more than her family; he wants Colby, and will not let anything stand between them. After ages of loneliness, the raw desire to possess her overwhelms his very soul, driving him to claim her as his lifemate.

If you understand Brazilian Portuguese, I suggest you read the book. Richard Ferrone tried, but he didn't get it quite right. It didn't help that one of the uncles had a Spanish name and not the Portuguese version, ie Juan instead of Juao. So the J was pronounced Spanish style and some other words were pronounced European Portuguese style and I just kept getting taken out of the story because of these things. I read the book many years ago and did enjoy it so if you don't care about the pronunciation, you might enjoy this audiobook.

Brazilian Portuguese is an issue
