She reached up and gently shoved it aside, and his gaze slowly lifted to hers, his eyes glowing silver, all remnants of yellow now gone. “What’s happening to you?” she repeated, then rephrased. “What happened to you?”“A wolf happened to me,” he said, and then moved abruptly.

BRIEF SUMMARY
Troy is a vampire warden like his brothers. However, since the betrayal of a werewolf he loved, he is not himself. Not really, a vampire or wolf, Troy struggles with his inner self and tracks down the woman, Cassie, who he thought betrayed him along with her society of werewolves, as a war could be brewing between both races.
THOUGHTS
Book three in the `Vampire Wardens' series did not disappoint. We have come to know Troy throughout this entire series, and his story was worth the wait. From the previous books, we've come to know he isn't like his brothers and he is a little different. After an eye opening performance in book two, I expected no less from him. Cassie is the woman whom Troy thought betrayed him, once he finds her; he tries to subdue his inner beast. However, she could be a traitor to him, but his physical need to have her takes over. While Troy is metamorphosing into something he can't explain, everyone tries to band together to help him.
As one chapter closes, another begins. This book brought out other characters that I am really looking forward to reading about. I am eager for Nico. Nico has proven he's worthy to be read in `The Werewolf Society' series, a spinoff of the `Vampire Warden' series, as noted above by the author. Nico is Alpha and an appetizer to what I predict to be another great series by the author; and judging by the epilogue, I can't wait.
The only thing I will say, I wish I could have read more about Marcus. I sound like a broken record but I think he is deserving of his own book. I think he is a great character.
Storyline: GOOD
Intimacy: Sex-citingly GOOD
Enjoyment: GOOD

An adult vampire romance novella that is the third of the series, but each book ends in an HEA for the couple that was focused on. Can be read as a standalone, but more of the story is understood if read in order.
This book follows Troy and Cassie. It picks up a few months after book 2. Troy is the youngest of the Brooks Brothers and after a near death experience, has a completely new appearance and some new powers that put him apart from his brothers Troy is part of the Vampire Wardens, tracking outlaw vampires, killing them, and protecting innocent humans. Cassie is a werewolf and part of the werewolves’ societies’ Royal Guard that protects the werewolf king and the werewolf society.
This story tracks Troy and Cassie as they try and figure out what truly happened to Troy on the night he was attacked and changed forever.
I enjoyed the characters chemistry and the spice. I feel like it all happened too fast though. I know it's a novella, so it was supposed to, but I would have loved more. More details, more looks into the brother's lives as Vampire Wardens, and more details on the vampire warden culture etc.

Troy, the third brother, finds his HEA with Cassie and along the way the mystery of his transformation is revealed. Andreas is finally caught but I am sure there is more to come in this series.

Cassie Moore is a werewolf and is also part of the werewolves’ societies’ Royal Guard that protects the werewolf king and the werewolf society. Cassie has made a place for herself with the royal guard and she does a job she loves and is very good at. She is a fighter that knows how to take care of herself and others but when it comes to Troy she isn’t sure she can protect her feelings where he is concerned. Now that Troy is back in her life she needs to find out what happened months ago on their last mission.
Troy Brooks is a vampire that was attacked by a werewolf months ago when he and Cassie were working on a mission together. Now he is neither completely vampire nor werewolf but a combination of both. Troy isn’t sure yet what that means for his future since things isn’t looking really good right now. Troy is looking for answers and those answers have brought Cassie back into his life and while he has been fighting his feelings for her he doesn’t think this time around he will succeed in keeping his distance from her.
Troy is determined to get to the bottom of what happened to him but he doesn’t count on his lack of control when it comes to Cassie nor his need to keep her safe from everyone even himself. Cassie is just as determined to find out what happened so that she can help Troy and maybe have a future with him that she has wanted for a long time now. First they are going to have to get to the bottom of what happened before so they can find out what the future might hold for the two of them.
This is an excellent addition to the Vampire Wardens series. This one will have readers trying to figure out just who the bad guys are and what is happening to the characters in this one. This one delivers some great twist and turns that keeps the story moving along quickly and will have the reader hating to put this one down until the very last page. It will also have the reader eagerly awaiting the next story in this series.

This is my favorite of the first three that I have read. The story is starting to come out now and get really interesting. I like the characters who are in this book...The witch Alaya and Nico. They are fun and playful and each a bit dangerous.
Rebel wolfs or the reds have gone over to the dark side and they no longer control their "wolf" side. They mall what ever person pleases them and their blood is called "Red Dog" if bitten you will either die or turn rabid like them. But what if a Vampire is bitten by that drug?
Cassie, of the Royal Guard and Try of the Vampire Nation (remember he and his brothers are guardians) are on a quest to find Andre who started this whole experiment and they also wish to save Troy who is slowly succumbing to the Red Dog since being attacked. It takes control even from his vampire side as it slowly takes over.
Cassie won't give up and holds on to hope that they will defeat Andre and find a cure for this horrible disease. She is determined to hold on to Troy and save his life.

Hero: Troy.
Heroine: Cassie.
Sex Rating: 3.8
Overall Rating: 4.5
Summary: Troy is a Vampire Warden who has been betrayed by a werewolf he loved & turned into something, neither Vampire or Wolf. Only to be healed & loved by a she wolf…if he doesn’t destroy them both first.
Review: Book Three was my favorite story wise but was pretty boring sex wise hot vampire touch is the satisfying but not all too Intense ending to the vampire Warden trilogy & leads way to the werewolf society series.
It was a tight little story & I quite enjoyed it.

Hot Vampire Touch was a great conclusion to the Vampire Warden Series.
We have all grown to love Troy in Hot Vampire Kiss and Hot Vampire Seduction. As the baby brother of Ethan and Aiden, we all want to know who and what happened to Troy. In Hot Vampire Touch we get all these questions answered.
It was great to see Troy grow over the course of these three books. In Hot Vampire Touch we see how Troy finally comes to terms with who is his now. He learns that no matter what he may or may not be he is still worthy of love. Not just the love of his brothers, but the love of one very special woman.
If you have read the first to books in the Vampire Warden series you will not be disappointed with Hot Vampire Touch. If you have not read the series yet, you can now order the whole trilogy here. I would highly suggest you step in the world of the Vampire Wardens and see the lengths they will go to protect us and the ones they love.

Love this series!!! This novella has the best of both worlds.
Vampires, werewolves and witches Oh My!
This novella started out with action, grabbing you in and not letting you go.
I was looking forward to reading Troy's story and I’m so glad I finally did.
Troy a vampire warden attacked by a rogue wolf, forever changed. He finds himself fighting an inner struggle.
Cassie, is one badass chic that happens to be a werewolf. She’s beautiful and headstrong. She doesn't need a man’s protection. She is a part of the Royal Guard.
One day Troy and Cassie are working together and the next everything changes.
Get ready for one hell of a ride. Tons of exciting action and sizzling passion.
Lisa Renee Jones knows how to get to the point without rushing. I love her writing
I was hooked after reading the first. Its very hot. You wont be disappointed.

Vampire Warden Brooks #3 Troy. I’d give it a 3.5.
The Vampire Wardens are working in cooperation with the Were Royal Guard continuing to look for the Red Rogue Were still causing trouble. This is tough on Troy since the last Were he worked with, Sarah, used him to betray him but Cassie is different isn’t she? Unfortunately their last job together he is viciously attacked and changed & Cassie doesn’t seen him again for 13 months, when he kidnaps her.
Troy is torn between wanting to believe she wasn’t a part of his attack…because the last thing he remembers is a female Were looking at him. But the changes that started that night after his attack are getting harder for Troy to control. Can Cassie help?
Now at this point I feel the story turns too suddenly, and then ends. I think a little more action would have helped with the story…but it was still OK.

I really enjoyed reading Troy's story. I was so hoping to see him heal after being broken down emotionally and physically. The attraction and chemistry between Troy and Cassie was surreal. These two were made perfectly for one another. I was truly surprised that Troy had been able to resist Cassie before, but was glad that he finally accepted his true feelings for her. I thoroughly enjoyed the Vampire Wardens series and am glad I read it before the Werewolf Society. The series offered great detail and background. I believe once I begin the Werewolf Society, I'll enjoy it more now that I understand their history and purposes. I can't wait to get started with the Werewolf Society to read Nico's story. Especially since I'm currently on the fence about him. Lisa has outdone herself with these supernatural tales!!!!

Troy and Cassie's story was short...so, so sweet, and so, so sexy.
I really liked Troy, he and his brothers are honorable men. Troy has loved Cassie from afar, she's a sexy, smart and sassy werewolf who know how to handle Troy. And he needs that in a mate.
This was an engaging read for me, I love this book as much if not more than the first two in the series.
People who enjoy vampires and werewolves and hot sexy encounters will definitely love this book.
These men are lethal and I like it like that!
Get this book, get this series...it will please your senses!!!
Highly Recommend!

In the forward or prologue, the hero is named Taylor. Not so in the rest of the book or in the first 2 books of the series, for that matter. His name is Troy. This does not leave me very hopeful for the rest.
I had to slog through this book, I am sorry to say. Reading it was a chore & it took me forever to get through it.
See my review to Hot Vampire Kiss. Just don't feel like retyping it here.

I absolutely LOVED all three of the Wardens series. Great story line and character development! Love how the characters are connected but this is not necessarily a sequence read. Of course after the first one I had to read them all!
This is one of few authors that can weave the primal in with love, desire, protectiveness, action, etc.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE......one series I may actually re-read!

This book was amazing!!! I literally read it in one sitting, I was just unable to put it down. I loved the story line and the characters, and hated to see it end. Lisa is a very talented author and I am so grateful that I read this series. She has definitely created a fan for life, and I look forward to reading more of her work.
January 17, 2012
The beginning of this book is set before the events in book 2 and then we join them for the aftermath. I did enjoy Troy's story and the end is set perfectly for Nico's story in the spin off.
Enjoyable, quick reads that I would highly recommend!

I loved the first two books, but i was a bit dissapointed with this one. I was eagerly awaiting Troys story but this to me was sort of "blah blah" I hope Wicked Werewolf Night, Nico and Aylia's story is better.....
June 25, 2012
yay! can't believe I'm done with the third book in the Vampire Warden series! can't put it done! like the first two books in the series, Hot Vampire Touch was so intense and wild! so much to love this! hands down Lisa Renee Jones!
March 15, 2013
Last of the vampire warden series and no less intriguing. I do love a happy ending and hot..steamy romance. These brothers all deserve a happy ending and Troy most of all. I can't wait to begin the continuation with the werewolf society.
May 10, 2014
Worth-reading story although it's fast-paced. Really intense and hard explicit plot. Your mind might get contaminated with his hot and sensuous appearance. A possessive Red Wolf like Troy would make your knees wobble.
November 29, 2011
Loved every minute of it !! By far my favorite in the series!!
December 5, 2011
I have really enjoyed this series. the characters are interesting and the world is somewhat different than mmost. this is a plus and I now cant wait to read the book about Nico.
March 17, 2012
another excellent read - i really want to know more about Marcus now
April 7, 2012
A bit better than the first two. Tied up some of the many loose ends. Still too distracted by grammar errors and typos to really enjoy it. This author needs a better editor.
May 16, 2012
Id have to say this was probably my fave book out of the wardens so far. I was looking forward to reading troys story and it didnt dissapoint! good storyline and GREAT scenes!!! ^_^
July 30, 2012
The most adorable ... situation ever :] Happy Endings are the best! I'm so happy for Troy and all the brothers.
September 16, 2012
Troy's book was the best! :D

LISA RENEE JONES is a FABULOUS storyteller and I've got to have them ALL!
