Vampire Assassin League #12
Cannot Unite
THE BARBARIAN
KayNan’s a barbarian from the darkest of ages. An ex-slave. Fighter. Killer. His past is steeped in despair and punishment. He’s brutal. Remorseless. Scarred. Centuries of a living death only cemented these traits. And then something happens. Something vast. Incalculable. Amazing. And totally unexpected…
THE ONE
Jeannette lives a structured life – staying well within the confines of her own rules. She never speaks of her gifts. Never harms. And never. Ever. Speaks to the dead. As a psychic, the rules are the only thing protecting her. Keeping her safe. Sane. Off the grid.
THE UNITED FRONT
The moment she’s recruited to assist a murder case, Jeannette’s rules are tested. Then shoved aside. She’s overwhelmed with emotions. Feelings. Cravings. For him. The creature that she knows is coming…
For her.

About the author
Jackie Ivie
90 books242 followersJackie Ivie was born and raised in a suburb outside Utah's capital, beautiful Salt Lake City. The second in a family of four daughters and one son, Jackie was constantly amusing her siblings with her invented games, escapades, and stories. And she was always reading. She would even walk the family dog, with one hand holding the leash, while the other held the ever-present book. No subject went unread, but once she discovered Historical Romances, there was no doubting her favorite genre.
Jackie has always been the busy type, rarely sitting still without being occupied in at least one activity, and usually more. When she was younger, it was nothing to find her watching television, while doing her homework, listening to music, crocheting like a madwoman, and reading, all at the same time.
After graduating, Jackie gained secure employment with a large service company and relocated with her growing family to the neighboring, sparsely-populated state of Wyoming. She then spent several years enjoying the wildlife, scenery, and open space that Wyoming is known for. In addition to writing, Jackie is an accomplished artist in several mediums, preferring mixed media. She has several pictures in print and has exhibited in art showings throughout the West. There was never anything she loved doing more than reading, however, and once she discovered the thrill involved with putting her own words and fantasies on paper there was no stopping her.
In 2001, Jackie and her family took a huge step and moved to the largest state of the nation; Alaska. Although it was her job that brought her here, Jackie has grown to love this land of amazing contrasts, breathtaking vistas, and the ever-present resident, the Alaskan moose. There's nothing else like it, and the very long days of summer lend themselves to hours and hours of energizing tasks, while the long winter nights are just right for her real love...writing.
Jackie has now written thirteen novels and is continually starting more. The thrill of writing has now been enhanced by seeing her actual story in print. Lady of the Knight is her first published work. It will be followed by Tender is the Knight scheduled for release this summer.

This Vampire's life story before he was turned; almost had me crying. I really like this book, but I was a little bit confused about the flash back.

Kaynan and Jeanette. Not much to say about this one. It was fun but nothing special. A nice little Muse Bouche between longer stories. As with all the others in the series, KayNan's body 'wakes up' after seeing his mate, Jeanette. But he doesn't see her in person, but in his mind as she is psychic. He's a barbarian who probably hasn't bathed since he was first 'changed'. There's the usual attack by vampire hunters, kinda blah blah blah. But the sex was pretty hot and sweet.

Another odd, feel like I was dropped in the middle read.
Both leads were good and it was action packed. The ending was abrupt but satisfying.
Safe Completely- virgin hero, celibate heroine ( no details about her past). The vampires in the league can't be with anyone but their mates, so naturally I am skipping all of the virgin vampire heroines.😁

The Barbarian and the Psychic
KayNan and Jeannette are lifemates that meet in a vision. KayNan is an assassin that has lead a solitary life for close to a thousand years. All of that changes when he sees Jeannette in a vision. All of his senses come to life and and he will do whatever it takes to find and protect her from the hunters.
Psychic Jeannette was hired to track down a killer. Little did she know how finding the killer would change her life forever.
The story isn't dull and there's some humor in it as well as an attraction between two people that are as different as night and day.

Of course another great addition to this series. Kaynan and Jeanette were perfect together and it was great to learn more about Akron...hmmmm...he is sounding more and more enticing with each book!! ;)
Kaynan's history was very sad to read about but I did enjoy how Jeanette see him as his past. It was also great read past the turning of the mate!!
On to the next. ;)

This was a pretty short read, but I didn't feel like it lacked in any way, other than maybe missing a few extra naughty scenes ;) There were plenty of funny moments when KayNan didn't understand the wordage and phrases of today's time, those made me chuckle. I really enjoyed it and I will definitely be going back to book one in this series and reading them all!

"Cannot Unite" by Jackie Ivie. Book 12 in the Vampire Assassin League series.
Loved this one! The main characters of KayNan and Jeannette have great chemistry between them. Short and sweet. A lot of action packed into this novella. Can't wait for the next one!

This series is great, each book a whole new story with new heroes and heroines, all connecting to the previous and next book in the series. Each book is a short story, so they are quick reads, great for long bathes.

This series of short books/novellas are a mixed bag. They are like reading People magazine on an airplane. Some are absolutely terrible. This one wasn't bad, just way too short.
