Théoden: It seemed my gut instincts were spot on. I tried to prepare my House as best as I could considering the limitations I was facing. The River Rock Alpha was coming and things were about to get very serious, very soon. Blood was going to flow like a river and supes were going to die. I just didn't know who.
Noel: My heart is racing a mile a minute as I try to prepare for an attack I'm not sure I'll survive. I've been in fights before, but those were nothing compared to what was coming. I just hoped I'd be able to hold my own when the battle begins.
Deacon: After watching Josef chasing his tale on the news, I'm sure he's approached the vampire Prince of the City, Théoden, about his dead wolf. I'm sure Théoden suspects Josef is responsible for his deceased vampire. My plan is working perfectly. Now, all I need to do is one more push, and then Théoden will have no other choice but to fall into my trap.
Josef: The minutes are ticking by so slowly for me. All I can think about is liberating my beautiful mate from the clutches of that bloodsucking son of a bastard, seeing as Ara made him. I will shred the flesh of my enemies and leave his entire coven in pools of their own blood when I'm finished with them. Dante will be mine before this day is over.

The novelettes in this serial will be filled with dark, twisted, raunchy and steamy scenes between powerful, sexy men that will either offend you or get ya revved up. This series will not be pulling any punches, and it won’t apologize for hurting your feelings, either. You’ll find no fluff and ruffles here. The vampires are not misunderstood, hopeless romantics looking for love. The werewolves are not cute and cuddly and the dragons aren’t the ones from your childhood. This is NOT a romance.

Another Masterpiece by Nicholas Bella! Opportunity has so many twists and turns that you will not be able to put this book down! An epic fight between Theoden, his sons, and his best friend Ty against Alpha Josef and his top wolves. Death, rage, crippling pain from loss, total submission and one of the hottest sex scenes so far! Who wins? Who loses? Who dies? You will have to read Opportunity to find out!
I'm a huge Nicholas Bella fan and his books just keep getting better.Loved this even if it did make me teary eyed vampires and werewolves at war and some hot man action makes this a Five star read..
The name says it all. Opportunities lost; opportunities gained. Nicholas Bella has once again woven a nail biting tale. Scheming wolves, an epic battle sequence; lofty and dangerous dragons, violence and subjugation, the testing of loyalties and super ‘supe’ sexiness.
Though this episode offered sadness and loss, it also offered hope and even a hint of mercy. The way some of the characters endured their punishment earned them my greatest respect. It also offered an insight into the very genetics of the supe world that the author has created for us, answering many questions that fans were no doubt wondering about… the strengths of the beings that populate New Haven; and their weaknesses. It gave insights into the loyalties and the closeness and love between old friends, into the power of Theoden and the blood connection he has with his children.
While some curiosity was assuaged, more was engendered. It tickled us with hints of future possibilities. Will those now in despair turn it into success… the germ is there; all they need do is reach out and take it? If they have the courage they can turn submission into a reward. It may take an adjustment in mind-set but that is the opportunity that they are now afforded.
While I apologise for being purposefully vague – I don’t want to spoil this highly anticipated episode for anyone – all I can say is that it played my emotions beautifully, fear, anxiety, sadness, empathy, relief, pride and satisfaction. A must read for all the fans of this author and anyone who loves all things dark paranormal, violent and super sexy.
On a more personal level, I confess to just having one quibble. While I know this tale could not be written adequately from his perspective, I wanted more of Noel. He was the beginning of this story for me and I now feel a disconnect. Don’t get me wrong, I love all the characters Nicholas has woven through this series but I find myself missing him in particular in this episode. But still a stellar five star read none-the-less.
Once again I am blown away...and will be left staggering around until more comes. Sad that this series will come to an end so soon but very excited for Odin Chronicles and what I hope is more of Josef and his pack.

Manipulating people who aren’t aware they are being manipulated is a precarious game and takes great skill and leverage. It just so happens I’m a master at it. -Theoden Awesome!!!
This was such an exciting book! I was anxiously awaiting it's release and it didn't disappoint.
Nicholas is a master of weaving plots, hot sex and amazing characters into a very exciting, erotic story with lots of twists and turns. He thinks of every angle of the story and covers every possible loop hole beautifully. No holes in his stories.
In the prior books you knew things were building up to this climax. There was non stop action as always in this book and once I started, I could not put it down. Someone as old as Josef thought he could out smart Theoden. I give Josef credit, his plan was well thought out, but he did underestimate Theoden. Things got pretty intense with the battle and I read with baited breath for who would not make it through the fight. Yes some tears were shed with this one, but you can't have that type of a fight without some loses. I'm glad Theoden has a close dragon ally in Ty who was a major influence in how the battle went.
And now I again, anxiously await the next book. Well done Nicholas!
The level of detailing in the plotting is nothing short of incredible, I don't know how Nicholas Bella keeps up with all the different narratives he has spinning in the air when it come to this series.
While Deacon and his wolves are plotting to undermine and seize control, Theoden is playing a long game with the unwilling help of Josef and his werewolves and the dragons have a whole different reason for getting involved.
The sex, as ever, is creative, erotic, explosive, dangerous, exciting, punishing, painful and controlled.
This was an amazing read! Josefs attack on Theodens home, the fight and the consequences...full of action, suspense, hot and steamy scenes...and tragedy. Oh my, I was at least as shocked as Noel, his brothers and Theoden at the death of...dang, I haven't expecting that! Now I can't wait to get the final episode of this series in my greedy hands!!
So the epic battle between Josef and Theoden played out, just not as expected. Dante proved his loyalty and Noel had his first battle. Though there was tragic loss the vampires are moving forward with plans for the future. I enjoyed how fast paced this book was, there was drama intrigue and of course the dirty kinky sex.
“What’s it going to be, Josef? I will not ask you again, but understand, you’re not ever walking out of my home the same way you stormed in.” “Oh, how’s that?” “Free.”
For the first time in the entire series, we see Théoden nervous. Poignant reflections on the past, and we get a useful primer on the weaknesses of the various supernatural beings involved in the skirmish.
Excellent fight choreography and skillful storyline development.
During the harrowing werewolf attack, Noel’s training with Marco saves his life more than once. As does Ryu.
While Josef does inflict some serious damage, at the end of the day…one of them is playing checkers, and the other is playing chess.
Théoden negotiates some amazing terms, especially considering his incredible losses.
Josef has compelling chapters. Additional bargaining…
Far and away the best book of this season. It’s great to have that rawness back, along with the strong plot movement. It’s also no coincidence that there’s…exactly one Deacon chapter.
“I was going to have to housebreak Josef enough to fear me, and follow my orders, but at the same time, be strong enough to rule his pack.”
This is the chapter I was waiting for throughout all the series!! All action packed and so much intrigue! Man, I’m still trying to process everything that happened in this book!
Everything went crashing down and at the same time, this whole universe continues with its expansion and growth: Love the vampires and the wolves and the dragons! And their relationships!
This was impossible to put down! Deacon’s devious plans go awry when Théoden realizes his son Dante is the alpha Josef’s one true mate. Josef attempts to take over and take down Théoden and his sons and ends up making an alliance instead, but not without losses on both sides.
Raw dirty Fun. Plots with twists turns and dropouts. The sex is over the top. The alpha male bad boys leave your head spinning. The story weaving leaves you breathless. The way the author paints the scene you can visualize it all.
*In order to truly enjoy this reading experience, you really MUST start from the beginning. It’s the only way you’ll gain an understanding of these characters and the world they love in.* The beginning of this deliciously twisted tale can be found here:
I also want to point out and re-emphasize Nicholas Bella’s warning. Take it seriously. These books really aren’t meant for sensitive eyes and the easily offended. Theoden and his vampires, are no holds barred brutal, and sexy. They don’t care, want nor need your consent to do everything and anything to their potential bedmates, food or enemies.
Now that we’ve gotten all that out of the way lets get to the good stuff! I don’t know how Bella does it but Kingdom and Ara is living up to it’s name and it’s promise. Bella said we would cry. Bella said these final installments would be brutal. Bella said we would lose beloved main characters. He delivered on those promises in spades. I cried, I gasped, I think my mouth may have hung open practically the entire time I read Suspicion and Opportunity. There’s only ONE more book left before this ENTIRE Journey ends. I CANNOT Wait! I am on pins and needles dying to know how this will all end! What a fantastic journey! If you’re looking for something Dark, twisted, not for the faint of heart, non consensual, BDSM (light), hmmm…smut but it’s good smut. Sink you’re teeth into this series. You’ll be glad you did ;)
*If the sex isn’t for you, skip those pages and just read the plot. it’s worth the effort :) *
I really tried to listen to that oh still small voice in my head, when Nicholas Bella’s Opportunity hit my kindle. You know that voice that tells you, do not start reading this, its too late wait until tomorrow. Make a long story short I went to bed 3 hours before I had to get up. I so blame the very talented amazing author Nicholas Bella.
A story that will test strength and loyalty, a story that will break you down and have you at the edge of your seat with the plots, the suspense. I received this book as a gift from the author, to give my opinion in a honest review. Opportunity knocks alright in a few different scenes. My stress level in reading this both had me anxious to turn the next page but also dreading it.
That sexy dragon makes a appearance, Theoden and his boys are tested and the time to separate the men from the boys is at hand, a profound heartache is felt by many. Secrets revealed what you’ve thought you knew is small in comparison at what you will learn. Who will be standing when the dust settles? Nicholas brings it to the table again in the only way he knows how... Hard, intense, dark and dirty its recommended and Enjoy.
When we last saw the House of Theoden they were planning for an upcoming battle and Theoden is right to be prepared for a fight. What follows is stunning and shows the depths that both Theoden and Josef will go to so they get what they want. The bloody and devistating battle doesn't go as planned for either side, a son is lost, slaves are taken and territory lost, but who will rise as the victor?
As always the writing is spot on and the descriptions through out the battle made me feel as if I was right there watching it all unfold. I am so involved in the series that I was devastated right along with everybody else over the loss of a beloved family member. Mr. Bella never dissapoints me and this is most definitely above what I expected I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. I want to thank you Nicholas, this book took me from anger to sadness to victory to lust it's an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. Its been one hell of a ride so far thanks for giving me a front seat. Independent reviewer for Romance Authors That Rock.
WOW, just WOW! It's a Nicholas Bella novel really no need to say more but I will. Fans of Bella's have already read this book immediately upon release. That's how great this series is! If you've stumbled across this as a recommendation you will be completely captivated BUT you really need to start at the beginning to get the full scope of these amazing plots and characters. Beware! There is absolutely NOTHING taboo in these novels. The eroticism will keep you panting for more. Just when you think it can't get any hotter, it does. These men will do anything to gain Power and Pleasure! Bella fans have are addicted to this series. Once you pick up the first book you can't help it. There are so many twists and turns you never know what these characters will do or where they'll go next. This series is highly addictive. But be warned, if you can't handle M/M sex, BDSM or severe punishment, bypass this series. For those who can, grab on tight and enjoy the ride. You'll be so glad you did!
Another fan-freaking-tastic installment! I knew someone was going to die but I had no idea who and seriously damn you Nicholas Bella for putting me through that. Wolves and vamps coming to blows something awful has to happen. Gah! In that moment when it happened my heart completely broke. The pain and agony was evident and this author did such a wonderful job creating such a heart breaking scene that totally had me on the edge of my seat.
This series is just so different, I'm completely addicted to the dirty, the raw, the passion and intense connections these characters have. And seriously there are things that happen that go above and beyond my imagination but I love every single moment.
This series… these episodes… they test my heart! I tell you! When the last book ended we were clinging to our chairs! We were DYING TO KNOW what was going to happen with Josef, Theoden, Deacon… So Opportunity opens where Suspicion left off… commence nail biting. The fight was so unbelievably suspenseful. I was freaking out the whole time. I screamed, swore… I messaged Nicholas! I did. I had to let him know how mad I was with him! Anyway… I won’t tell you the outcome. I didn’t see ahead though. I didn’t see it taking the direction it did. Once again Nicholas Bella shocked me! This is such a breathtaking and amazing series/episodes. I can’t get enough and I’m always on the edge of my seat for more!!!
How I would love to give this a 10 star review. I had been waiting for this book to come out and it was well worth the wait, and left me wanting more. The epic battle between the wolves and vampires came to pass and there were losses on both sides. Theoden and his boys fought valiantly to preserve their lives and territory. Josef and his wolves also fought bravely to so Josef could claim his mate. I can't say anymore about this battle because I don't want to give any any spoilers to those that are waiting to read this book. All I can say is this book was worth the wait and answered some of my questions and now I will patiently wait for the next book to come out.
Wow. I can't believe Ryu is gone what a sad day. I enjoyed Josef getting ganged banged by the boys, he deserved it but damn if he enjoyed it. Even with such a sad outcome we still had lots of really hot sex. I'm really glad we got to see Deacon in this last chapter. I hope Elijah and Deacon keeps getting stronger. But man that Elliot and Slade scene was really hot.
Nicholas Bella proves yet again why his fans (like me!) call him Master Bella. Man is brilliant and each episode just makes the whole series even better!
This if far my favorite out the series and that saying a lot. Could not put down until I finished. I recommend this to anyone looking into to this genre but start from the beginning or all will be lost. Theoden you rock my world
Once again, Nicholas Bella delivered a story that you won't be able to put down. Each of your emotions will be put to task in the continuing saga of the New Haven Series. A must read for anyone, even if you do not usually read paranormal.
