Librarian Note: There is an updated cover for this edition with ASIN B01KKIB89I
Elsie has everything she could ever want - mated to the Vampire King, working at her dream job, surrounded by family and friends and expecting her first child. Her bliss quickly turns into a nightmare of epic proportions when her newborn daughter becomes the primary target of the nefarious archdemon. Seeking guidance from the Goddess, Elsie and Zander discover the only way to protect their fragile baby is to summon a Guardian Angel.
When the enticing guardian appears, Elsie and Zander face far more challenges than merely keeping their daughter safe. As feelings ignite, jealousy threatens to tear them apart and for the first time, being Fated may not guarantee an eternity together.

Oh Baby!!!!
I'm So excited that I got to read this book! I've read every book so far and they have all been amazing! I was excited to see Isobel got her own book. And what a great way to introduce her tothe family and the world. I'm telling you this book was a incredible addition to the series and I know after having read this that it's only gonna get increasingly better as each new book comes out. In this book you will find dominant sexy men who can kick some serious butt, their equally amazing women don't fret ladies some still haven't met their mates yet ;) magic because why not?! There are vampires and shifters angels and demons so why not beautiful sassy witches and powerful hot sorcerers too?! Ya these books have it all and they definitely don't skimp in the delicious naughty department either the scenes are so juicy that you will feel the heat yourself and the danger is just as explosive as the lust. But this book has all that and more. Isobel is definitely a game changer. I can't see what else she's gonna bring to the table! And i love how she's got everyone wrapped tight around her little finger and it's fascinating and exciting because there was a moment when everyone held their collective breaths and I for one can't wait to see what's next!!!! Oh the possibilities! I've said it in ever review for each book in this series but I'm gonna say it again. If you area fan of The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by JR Ward and Sherrilyn Kenyon Series well then you don't want to miss these books because these authors are definitely giving them a run for their money! These are just as amazing as those series but with a flare signature that's all their own. You don't wanna miss these books. Epic!! Did I mention I'm insanely excited?! Lol

Dalton makes an appearance.
Elise wasn't ready to see Dalton alive again! Especially, not the way he appeared. And right after she had given birth to Isobel too. I can imagine she was feeling conflicting emotions. However, if the difference for what she felt with Dalton didn't come close to her feelings for Zander than why did she act like she still wanted to be with him? If she has the other half of Sanders soul she shouldn't feel that way about anyone else. Regardless of whether or not she still cared for him. So the birth of Isobel comes with a down side. The girl is super powerful and absorbed the amulets power. Yeah, so not even the goddess knows the extent of her powers. This is what leads to Daltons appearance. He is going to protect her. I won't say how because I don't want to ruin the book. However, if you look at the book cover you can guess. There is a new demon species in this book.

When is a baby not a baby?
When she has Zander and Elsie as her parents. Isobel finally makes her appearance and with her birth comes more demon troubles. A new type of demon gathers at the front gates and the proud parents must ask for a little help when they discover the mark on Isobel's neck. The sacred amulet is back. The need for Isobel to have a guardian angel is apparent, the angel that shows up is a big surprise. Elsie's first husband has found his way back to Earth. He is a whole new entity, but his love for Elsie is still the same. Oops, that is not going to go over well.

Isobel's Guardian Angel
This KU library selection is the story of a very young vampire princess, Isobel. Born early following a demon attack on her mother, Isobel grows quickly, but the archdemon Kadir has forged a strong new alliance and has his sights set on taking the baby. Elsie and Zander ask for a guardian angel to be assigned to their daughter, but are shocked when the brown winged angel appears, and just as quickly disappears.
This is a good introduction to Isobel and her powers, and to what her potential may become, as well as giving a teaser for Book ten, Santiago's story.

I have been provided with a copy of Isobel by the author for an impartial review. This is the ninth book in the Dark Warrior Alliance series and we are back in the point of view of Elsie and Zander. I loved getting to go back and see more of Elsie and Zander I just fell in love with them from the very beginning and it was just great getting to go back to these characters and have more of their story from their point of view. I just loved getting to read this story and I loved being introduced to their beautiful baby girl Isobel. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

This book is Amazing, But I have Loved all of the books in this series. I am just starting to read the last book written in this series and I hope that they don't stop writing them any time soon. There books stay with the reader and make you wish that there were men and women like these heroes in this time. If you like your men to be built and heroic then you need to get this series. These men and women are brave, loving and very easy on the eyes. Do yourself a huge favor and get to your favorite book shop and start reading this series, It is so good.

Probably best to read these books in order, as a brief recap is given for each couple, but not enough to get to know the characters. Unlike other parents with newborns, the main couple appear to not have any problems with sleep deprivation or exhaustion, and in fact manage to have sex all night long...
Main gripe is I felt like I was reading a summary of the series, with little connection to the characters in the book, with the exception of Ramiel.

Amazing Read!
OMG what a Crazy Read! What would you Do if "YOUR DAUGHTER'S GUARDIAN ANGEL WAS YOUR DEAD 1ST HUSBAND?" I think I may loose it, especially EMOTIONALLY! Isobel is most definitely an "Amazingly, Wonderful, Beautiful child!" Who is gonna give HER Mamai, HER Da, HER Guardian Angel and all HER wonderful Aunts & Uncle's Heart attacks! (if that can happen) Izzy will definitely be given them all a "RUN FOR THEIR MONEY!" Look forward to Santiago's book.

Innocent child to DEMONATOR !
New birth in Zeum (Dark Warrior's Estate) where Elsie and Zandor become parent to Isobel . The phrase it takes a village to raise a child takes on new significance when the child is Isobel. Gifted with powers beyond her years, she requires a Guardian Angel to watch over her. The angel is one that knew her mother years before and loved her !The story is well written and has many turns but has a happy ever .after! Enjoy !!!

A Really Great New Storyline OVER 18+ Reading
I found this book and have enjoyed it so much. A vampire princess of great power is born. Family and friends have gathered to protect her. Dark Warriors who are vampires, shifters, witches, healers, angels who battle demons who want Isobel. I started this series in book 9 and find I want to go back to the beginning of this to see how it got to this point and then finish the series. It is that good.

Isobel is the ninth book in the Dark Warrior Alliance series. While these books can be read as standalones, the storyline makes more sense if you have read the previous books. There is violence and sex. Elsie is married to the Vampire King and is not your typical Queen. While we already have a story about them, this book has more to do with Elsie and her first husband who was killed years earlier. While it was a good addition to the series, the book left me wanting.

I just loved this! We have been waiting so long for this baby and in one short book she makes her appearance and boy does she come into the world with a bang! Elsie has to deal with a hell of a lot In this book especially with Ramis showing up and knocking the wind from her, but she’s just such an inspiring female character she handles it well Zander not so much 😂. This series is just so much fun to read.

Ramiel now has a job. He is to be Isobel's guardian angel because she somehow is the amulet. But of course if he is to be in the around Elsie then there are plenty of things that need to be resolved.
I adored this addition to the Zeum household. We also enjoyed cameos from the other warriors and their mates.

We have the Demomonator
The final words of the book used to describe a baby. This baby has turned out to be a kick-a$$ capable warrior with her own skills that surprise everyone.
This is a very interesting read combining romance, shifters stories and the greatest Scottish accents and so much more.

As always, we are greeted to a few surprises in this episode. The birth of Isobel, although expected, still comes unexpectedly, and then other past characters, thought long dead and buried, are brought back into focus, causing concern for Sander and Elsie. It's a great read, causing suspense and drama to the last word.

Isobel
Another interesting and romantic book in this paranormal/supernatural series. I like them because they are all standalone reads but are easy to connect if read out of order. Alpha romantic heroes and brave courageous heroines find each other while protecting others from evil.

Good basis
Started off great with the introduction of a character mentioned in the very first book. Lots of insight and some really intense moments then straight into a "mine" battle. Editing is needed which took away from the pace of the story. The ending sucked. Thought I was missing pages.

Isobel
This was amazing as I thought it would be. Their daughter is probably the most powerful child and I can't wait to see what else she gets into.
