Loved this book
I’ve read these books to book 5 and every one I gave 5stars. They were wonderful, I only stopped reading them because the next book isn’t out yet. They were clean romance novels with excellent stories and characters.

Although i like the series, the 4th and 5th books just didnt do it for me like the first three. Maybe b/c in the first three books characters, storyline, way of living was all being introduced. It was all new and kept my attention.
The fourth book was good. The 5th book was slow. I felt myself skimming through this book quite often.
Blake & Austin. I liked these characters but didn't connect with them. Probably b/c their relationship just didn't seem real. Nothing felt real; even when it was suppose to be.
The conflicts were all short lived.
I really believe these books would have been better in dual POV; especially the fourth and fifth. I needed to feel Austins emotions and we only got them after the effect. By then, i was over it.
I will always love Eve... She is just so awesome. I should have known this from the moment we meet her in the first book.
You don't get much of Dallas and Gywn in the 5th book. They are mentioned but that is it.
Overall the series is good and I definitely recommend the first three and the first half of the fourth. :) Cheers.

Booking a one way ticket to the North!
This book sealed my fate. A fate where I am hopelessly devoted to Leigh Walker and this amazing world that she has created. If it was possible, I would fall right to my knees and beg this brilliant author to never stop writing. I am completely enamored with these characters, especially Austin and Blake. Their story is thrilling and romantic which is right up my alley. The fact that it involves vampires makes this a no brainer for a fiction favorite. I'm so happy with where this story went and even more so because it wasn't accomplished in a way that was predictable. Never stop writing Leigh Walker please! For anyone who is looking for a fantastic story that will no doubt steal a piece of your heart, this series is for you. You're welcome ♥

I am so completely in love with these characters, especially Austin and Blake! Their story is thrilling and romantic with ups and downs that will have you holding your breath. I'm so happy with where this story went and even more so because it wasn't done in a way that was overly predictable.
They way that the characters have changed and evolved has me hooked and needing more! The only negative is that I have wait, what feels like ages, for the next one. I can't wait to see where the next book goes and I'm intrigued to see what happens with Tamara.
Thank you for writing Leigh Walker, you really do give us a little piece of heaven every time you release a book. For anyone who is looking for a fantastic story that will steal a piece of your heart, this series is most definitely for you.

I absolutely love this serie, the filter along I come in the serie the more I love it!
i was afraid that with it being a serie of 8 books that it would be the same story with some adjustment to it but that is so not the case!
This book has a plot at the ending, no not 1 but multiple plots that I so did not see coming!!!
Loved the story between Austin and Blake. I was already rooting for them the moment Austin was introduced on the serie. There love story is so cute but full of fire and also forgiveness.
But I must say, I was starting to hate Austin at the end for a moment, but he made up for it at the end of the book. More I can't say about it without giving away spoilers!
definitely recommend this book!!

I really enjoyed this series - I got the first book free and then purchased the remaining four. I read teh entire series within a week as I spent all my spare time reading (and perhaps time I should have been ding other things ....)
I do think it could have been broken into two series though - the first three books focused on one couple and the second two on another which seems to me a natural split.
Will keep my eye out on this reader.

I love Blake and Austin. They are strong characters that lead with their hearts but use their heads. Their love story is sweet but private and their inner strength increases when together. The can divide and conquer but always walking the same path. This book has romance and action and tugged at the heart strings. What I also really liked is that the story really draws you in and there is not a sex scene to be had. These books keep getting better.

My least favorite of the series. Every vampire started falling for a human and vice versa. Whenever the human was close to death, they were turned. The main character handled her transformation too well. It was all very happily ever after which is nice but it’s almost as if they didn’t experience any hardship. The fights between the two love interests lasted hardly at all.
I also would have liked to know how Eve and Balkyn ended up.

Despite a change in main character from the original books, which often isn't able to replicate the magic of the original characters, this was a great read. I was just as invested in the new landscape and characters as I was for the original. It felt akin to the original storyline but not repetitive.

Heartwarming...
Did I just call a vampire book heartwarming? Yep! Because it is! I love these characters and the storyline. Blake's character continues to evolve and we get to go along for the journey!

I my goodness these books were so addictive, every spear moment I had was dedicated to the characters and story line and I couldn’t get enough. I can’t wait to move on to other books by Leigh, thank you for sweeping me up into another world for a little while ❤️❤️❤️

I feel like the quality of this series went downhill as it went on, but I still quite enjoyed reading all 5 stories. So ... 4 stars!!

I'll be the first to admit that I didn't think I'd like these as much as I do but I really really do.

It's definitely okay. I don't regret reading it, and I read through all five so they cant be that bad.
Its a good escape from everyday life, but doesn't stick in your head after you finish it.

I really love the banter in this book....i may have embarrassed myself a few times laughing out loud during really awkward times...

Great book, love the story line. Had me a bit worried at one point but no matter how it ended it was amazing to read.

Love Blake’s Story
This is a great continuance to the vampire royals series. I love Blake and her straightforward and direct attitude, reminds me of myself. This is the first time I have read a book and felt myself pulled in as if I were she. Great job, Austin is hot!

This was by far my favorite book in the series. I loved the dynamic between Blake and Austen. I thought that their relationship was much more down to earth then what happened in a lot of the early books in this series. I really love Blake. I think Walker has written a good, strong, kind heroine who doesn't have to be an amazing fighter to really show her strength and make an impact. So overall this was definitely my favorite of the series by far.
March 22, 2022
Not my favourite of the series unfortunately. I found myself a little bored with the plot to be honest; though I liked some of the romantic developments of some of the other side characters.
I also didn't enjoy the somewhat childish approach Blake and Austin had when it came to dealing with their feelings later on in the book. It was like they were going out of their way to create an unnecessary conflict.

Fast fun read
Although I anticipated a happy ending, there were many times I questioned my certainty. Great scenes between Blake & Austin!!

I can't get over how much I love Leigh Walker's writing. The characters are so lovable, and the scenes are intense but not to the point that your heart feels like exploding (which is great, because I love some romance that doesn't hurt TOO much). It had me on the edge of my seat needing to know what was going to happen. I love Austin and Blake together, and though they had their rough patches I love how it worked out. Seriously, I could read about these characters doing anything. And now I want to go back and read Dallas and Gwyn's romance too because I just love this series!!
Can we get a wedding scene? Like a bonus scene? Pretty please!! 😄😄
I liked that Tamara and Shaye were still part of the plot, and the gnome was such a great warm and fuzzy inclusion. I also liked Eve having a main role in the story and her growing friendship with Blake. Also I'd love to read the romance between her and a certain someone as well!
