Raina wanted what every female wanted… As the only daughter of the vampire king, and a wolf shifter she was given everything she could ask for. Sheltered her entire life. Until her world was turned upside down as she was kidnapped to become Satan’s consort.
Creed was equal parts good and bad, or so he said… Being the son of Satan and an angel, he lived a life filled with death and battle. Each he excelled at, until he saw something he’d die for. Raina Cordell, his Chosen.
What would you do to save those you love? For Creed, he’d give up his eternal soul to the very being who’d relish in his blood. Raina had searched for hundreds of years for what her parents had, thinking never to find the one being who would complete her. Just as she finds him, she has a choice. Her life, or his. Will they survive the coming battle, or will the battle be more than either are willing to sacrifice?

When I first read Elle Boon, she introduced me to a different breed of men … The Ravens of War. Then she went on to her wolf shifters and the Seals. Is she a diverse author … yes. Does she ever disappoint me with anything that she writes … no. Dark Lovers was no different and brought me the best of all the worlds she has written. A little bit of the devil, a little bit of the angel, vampires, shifters, the Fae … unfortunately, she left out her Seals (sigh). Creed was as sexy an alpha as I expected. Raina was a strong-willed, independent woman. Creed found his Chosen and Raina found her Heart’s Desire. Now, they must convince the families that they were meant to be together. Just one small problem stands in their way.
Elle Boon made this novella fun right from the beginning. Creed was all alpha right from the start. Saving Raina, getting her out of Hell and standing up to Jenna. Raina stood for it because she had no idea how she got there or how to get out. She was still docile but knew how to stand her ground when she had to. She really had no desire to leash his alphaness since she found it sexy. Then all hell breaks loose, literally and physically.
I enjoyed this short story. It had everything that you could want in a full novel. The men were hot, as usual and the woman were strong. The sex was off the charts and the characters were interesting. We visited with some old friends and met some new which opens up the possibility of new worlds to us. The story was quick, fluent and fluid. Being a novella, you know that the story moved fast and included all the major elements of a hot story including a happily-ever-after.
Ms. Boon has a hit with this series, I love it! The honest to goodness Hellboy, forget that ugly thing in the movies this one is, he is one hot dude, excuse the pun! He is heaven and hell all wrapped up in one literally, his mother is an angel and his daddy is the devil himself.
Creed once he thought himself in Love with Luna and that she was his mate, it must have been fate that chose him to save her life back then because in reality she was meant to give birth to his future Chosen. He has lived thousands of years thinking he would never know what it meant to have a Chosen, to be loved until he found Raina. He would move heaven and hell for her, if her daddy and the Cordello Twins, her brothers don't kill him first, not to mention his own father.
Raina Cordello has always been the princess being the baby of the Vampire king and she is tired of living in a bubble, her only escape, Dream Walking, until she sets her eyes on Hellboy, then all bets are off. No more dream walking for her, nope she has her own dream come to true!
Again we travel to Jenna's home and are treated to her craziness, man do I love this Fairy Queen!

What a captivating story, it will grab your attention from the beginning! I am so excited to turn these pages, the characters are fascinating, engaging, witty and the words that are spoken by are humorous and amazing. I enjoyed the Demons, Vampire wolves, Iron wolves and Fey WOW this can only be a Phenomenal read. I really enjoy reading Elle Boon is one of my favorite authors, she writes phenomenal books no matter the genre. Her characters are sexy, gorgeous, witty, romantic, protective and they make you laugh as you read their story. Dark Lovers is Raina and Creed's story. Raina Cordell is the baby of the family, that is her father is the vampire king, and a wolf shifter. As she is the only daughter of the family, she has been sheltered her entire life. Creed is the son of Satan and his mother is a angel. Creed can be good but he can also just as bad, his life has been filled with death and battle. When Raina is kidnapped by Satan so she can become his consort. Until something call to Creed which turn out to be his chosen Raina. Their story is exciting, romantic, endearing and their chemistry is faultless. This is a refreshing, addictive and entertaining story. What a awesome, action packed, adventure this is a continuing saga of Iron Wolves. Wow, this book is great and it definitely wasn't what I was expecting! There is a lots of humor in this story that had me laughing out loud. Overall, it's a exciting and fantastic read from Elle Boon. Its definitely one of the most interesting read and I loved every aspect of their attraction between our two main characters. You don't want to miss this book! This is a phenomenal read to add to your TBR list. I'm so excited about reading the next book. I highly recommend this book.
Creed and Raina are made for each other, regardless of the fact that their backgrounds are so different. Creed a byproduct of a Heavenly Angel and the Lord of Hell. Raina’s parents are a Lovely Wolf Shifter and the Vampire King. When the Satan contrives to kidnap Raina the real excitement starts when Creed walks in. Sensing his Chosen Mate is near, Creed finds one of his fathers minions torturing a lovely creature Creed cannot keep away from. While Creed fights the minion, Raina finds Creed a delicious hunk of male, but when he shifts she knows she needs to get away to find her way home. Creed finds her as she is trying to escape and leads her as quickly as he can out of his fathers territory. As they pass through a passage to get them out of Hell, they find themselves in an unknown world with and interesting entity named Jenna. As they try to find a way to keep safe from Daddy from Hell, when other family members start popping in. A wonderfully written romance, Elle Boon has just the right amount of action and humor to make it the perfect story! Her characters are absolutely incredible and her males are so yummy! Love reading about her stories and how they blend all the characters together from other stories. It’s like following along with your favorite family!
Creed is HOT! Seriously, sexy strong and determined. His character is a little arrogant in his confidence at times, but for some reason this works for him. Being the son of Satan he couldn't be a saint.
I loved how Creed and Raina knew and accepted one another as their Chosen pretty much straight away. They may not have claimed but they trusted their instincts. Other books I've read it sometimes takes a while for them to accept it and trust it. Its needed in some cases, but with Creeds age and Rainas family it's only fitting they know one another.
The chemistry is hot, the character development is spot on. Another brilliant read. Cannot wait for the next one.
This is Elle Boon's fifth Iron Wolves book and she still has not disappointed this reader. Her writing pulls you in and it is extremely hard to put her stories down. The stories have enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested. There is some darkness, suspense, tension, and of course the kind of love every girl dreams about having.
This story will take down to the depths of Hell. Creed is Satan's bastard son. Riana is the Vampire King's daughter. Riana has been sheltered her entire life. She wants what ever girl wants, however, Satan has other plans for her, dastardly plans that do not include pampering. Creed on the other hand is Satan's Battle warrior son. He's not only bad, but he is also good thanks to his mother. He has lived for thousands of years and though he excelled at killing, he finds his special someone who he is willing to die for. Life is never easy, living in Hell is Hell, or finding yourself in the depths of Hell instead of your family's castle is a living nightmare!
I encourage you to read this series. It really will stop you from doing your chores because you will want to see what happens next.
This one surpassed my expectations and my only tiny issue is that it was too short!!!!! I wanted more!!! Not sure if it was just me but I actually found this one hilarious, with a few laugh out loud moments that caught me by surprise and had my hubby looking at me weirdly!!! The banter between all the characters had me smiling so hard, loved that!!! Creed was sinfully delicious and Raina was fantastic, great character depth for such a short book. Loved all the new characters but got such a kick out of all the old ones, especially Kellen, I mean *sigh* who doesn't love Kellen and Jenna with her Heartslove Damien and Lucas!!!!!!!! Kellen was the icing on the cake for me. So, so, so looking forward to any future books in this series on any of the characters as they are all fabulous!!! I highly recommend you grab the previous books in the series, you wont be disappointed!
Raina, a mix of wolf and vampire, is wanted my Satan himself. When captured she is shocked to find out who it is that saves her. Creed, son of Satan and an Angel, is pulled towards a force he doesn't recognize. What does this woman have over him. When family comes together we see good and bad siblings. While Satan win and get Rains or will Creed be able to save her? Ella did a wonderful job with emotional ups and downs in this one.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "DARK LOVERS" (IRON WOLVES) Elle Boon dis a great job writing this very creative book full of suspense, intrigue, angst, secrets, lies, betrayal, laugh out loud moments, twists that make for a very addicting read. Creed is Satan's son Raina is the Vampire Kings daughter she was his Chosen before she was even born thinking her mother was his Chosen mate he saved her life she wasn't his but one of her children was his Chosen mate date stepped in because years later he'd save Raina's life. Raina was a hybrid half Wolf/Vampire and also a dream walker making her someone Satan wanted as his consort so he arranged for her to be kidnapped and taken to H*ll this where Creed finds her and they realize they are mates trying to get her out before his father got to her they ended up in th Fey Realm. Creed was a Demon/Angel raised by his father and would do anything to protect her he was good and bad I loved his character he was the perfect match for Raina they stayed in Fey Realm to keep his father from getting his hands on Raina again. Kellen Styles was Alpha of Iron Wolves he and Raina's Twin brother's Damien and Lucas all showed up to see Raina and she disappeared once again from the Dream World they were headed back to H*ll to get her back. I defintely recommend to get this amazing well written book with awesome likable humorous characters so much stoll happens in their trip back to H*ll will they save themselves and get Raina back you must get this book to see what happens in the shocking ending you'll love it I thoroughly enjoyed it. AWESOME AWESOME READ!!!!
As I continue my re-read I have realized just why I love these books. Not only are the characters personalities complex, the world is also.
The couples we have at the moment are Lyric and Rowan, Breezy and Xan, Laikyn and Kellen and although they aren't prominent in this series, LeeLee and Slater. Just as important are some of the other characters we've met especially Jennaveve 'Jenna' the Fae Queen and Damien and Lucas the vampire/wolves.
In this book we meet not only Damien and Lucas' sister Raina but also Creed. Now Creed's a bit different in that he is the son of Satan and an angel. That relationship is how he finds Raina.
Raina wakes to a disturbance she can't identify and finds she can't reach out to her family. She wakes up in a place that is almost a scary as her guard. Creed walks in and demands her guard leave, but there's a battle instead. Raina sneaks out of the door and connects to her father, but he's not so certain it's her. When he does Raina can't say anymore, she's lost too much blood. Creed needs to get her out of Hell and quickly. At the portal he asks his mother for help and ends up in Jenna's realm.
There are many revelations made at this point, but they know Raina's parents need to know she's safe and protected.
Creed doesn't know why his father has set his sights on Raina, but he isn't letting him win.
Raina is once again taken, this time through her dreams. Here she meets Kyrene, a halfling, sibling to Creed. This is both good and bad.
Kellen, Lucas, Damien, and Jenna accompany Creed to Hell to get Raina.
Plenty of hair-raising moments, some more interesting folks, and the sizzling mating of Creed and Raina.
This is the fifth book in this series and they should be read in order. This book too doesn’t focus on a member of the Iron Wolves pack but she is an extension of the pack. Raina wanted what every girl wants, someone to love her. As the daughter of the vampire king and a shifter she is given everything and sheltered. Then she was kidnapped to become Satan’s consort. Creed is the son of Satan and an angel. One look at Raina and he knows she is meant to be his Chosen. It’s much the same for Raina except she hears his voice and knows. They must get out of hell before Satan realizes Creed is going to take her for his own. With a little help from his mother and the fae queen they manage to get out of hell. They will need just a little more help to ensure that Satan will leave Raina and Creed alone to be together. Creed would give his life for Raina will the devil use that to get what he wants? I am really loving how this series and the Mystic Wolves are coming together and then you have the Fae and the vampires as well. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series (which is Syn and Bodhi’s story, finally!). I also can’t wait to read the fae queen and the wolpires book (I need it like now!). I love Elle Boon and you should read all her books too.
This book is terrible. The writing is terrible. The characters are paper thin. The plot is boring. The sex scenes are forgettable.
Don't bother with the many cliffhanger teasers at the end of the book. They start at 82% so the actual book is pretty short.
The heroine, Raina, is boring. She does very little to progress the plot other than being the prize to taken by Lucifer. Creed, the hero, has more to do with the plot, but he's so empty! There's nothing to his character that you can get a grip on.
Here's an example of the dialog: "Geez, didn't I just say I saved you from like death or something. I mean I am like all powerful and stuff." No, this is not a twelve year old, this is spoken by a being thousands of years old and who doesn't live on Earth. Another conversation has the heroine saying "Rules always matter to you. Not!" She is saying this to Lucifer himself while she's in actual Hell and he's trying to entrap her forever and kill his son, Creed. At another point Creed is fighting someone and they say "You can try it, demon boy.""I got your boy right here." Creed shifted his burden on one arm so he could grab his dick, emphasizing exactly what he meant. Charming.
Although this was the 1st time reading this book there are parts of it that seemed familiar as if I had read that part (the last time in Hell part) I another book. However, Raina & Creed's fast-paced book was very good as it brings some of the characters that were in previous books back.
Raina can dream walk when she's asleep & Satan decided to kidnap her to make a baby with her but, before he could do anything Creed saves her. When they come out of Hell the 1st time they wind up in Fey territory & Jenna keeps them for a short period before Raina is kidnapped again.
Creed is 1/2 demon & 1/2 Angel & he just happened to be in Hell at the right moment to meet & rescue his fated mate, Raina. Creed has some past association with Raina's parents as at one time he thought that her mother Luna was his mate.
This book did have the good vs bad plot, some sex scenes, fast-paced action & a couple of fight scenes but, overall it was a very good book.
The Iron Wolves are back with an installment to the series that just keeps bringing the punches! Demons have kidnapped Raina, the daughter of the Vampire King, and taken her to hell to the consort to the Devil. Being rescued by the bastard son of the ruler of hell was not something she was expecting either. Even more amazing is that he is her mate.
Being the son of the Devil and an Angel makes Creed different than other demons. Such as being able to call on his mother to help him take his mate out of hell to a place of safety. Yet ending up in the fey realm was not the place that he thought he would travel too.
God, I laughed throughout this installment to the Iron Wolves series. I really love it when Jenna makes her appearance. The interactions between all of the characters is awesome and Creed is pretty darn spectacular. Elle Boon has created another great story that mixes humor, love, danger, and power plays. Definitely another win for her.
:) Not so good as the previous stories, but entertaining and interesting enough to keep the attention.
Is kinda of a short story, so the pace is quickly and the characters are not so well development, but the reader are caught up with all the scenes and intrigue enough to keep reading.
Raina and Creed are in opposite worlds, she is the daughter of the King of Vampires and he is the bastard son of Satan and an angel he once seduced. ...At the second he set his eyes on her, he knew she is his, she is the Chosen One for him....
After some dangerous encounters with his father.... Raina and Creed managed to get away from Hell and find their HEA :)
We also have a glimpse, what is going with the vampire wolfish twins and Jeena!!!! :) cute this threesome :P .... but at this time, they don't have a story yet!
This is Creed and Raina's story . Raina wakes up to a dark so black that even her vampire/wolf cannot see in the dark . After turning on the light she gets one heck of a scare ! Taken to Hell and scared out of her mind she tries to contact her family and pays a price for it . Creed is willing to fight to the death for this female and while running for the topside he tries to head home but ends up in a place he has no idea where or how they got there . Jenna is one heck of a strong Fae that seems to be sad and tired to her very bone but is always willing to try to help others . Raina knows that she is dream walking but cannot seem to connect to Creed and tries her best to just stay alive ! Oh man this book has it all !! Drama danger along with some out of this world hotness ! This is well written and strongly recommended to all !!
WOW! What an intriguing story. Creed - son of Satan and an angel, he's a force to be reckoned with. It's amazing how these beings know who their soulmate is at first glance or the sound of their voice - this is what happened with Creed and Raina. I was wondering how Kellen played into this story but leave it to Jenna to get him where he is needed. Raina's brother are funny in this story. Now Jenna handles these two hybrids is so interesting. Having Creed pitted against his father was sort of epic then when it seemed like Creed was losing in swoops in his sister then his mother to save the day. Now that threat is somewhat behind them, I was happy to see these two find their happily ever after. Great job Elle! I would recommend this book.
Talk about hot !! Raina and Creed’s story literally takes you to Hell and back again !! Hot, sexy and volatile, the characters take what they want without regards to Satan and his wants, which really makes him pissed off enough to end the world !! But Creed and Raina’s love and choices may be able to keep that from happening if they make the right ones at the right time . Raina is his Chosen, and Fate only gives you one, so Creed will have to do some fancy foot work and come out fighting to keep the woman Fate has chosen for him. Raina is no slouch in the doing what needs to be done department either, she’s not the type to sit and wait to be rescued !! They are a match made in Heaven .... or is that Hell ?? You’ll have to read to find out !! 4.5⭐️‘s another of Elle Boon’s best !!
One of the better books in this series. I picked this up as a free read, knowing the series name was familiar but not remembering it. Glad I didn’t look up my previous reviews before as I may not have read this and that would be a shame. Entertaining and fun, though too short to do it justice. Loved Creed and Raina as a couple. Would love to see more of them in future books. I have read the previous books in the box set , book one was great but I gave up on this series after books two and three had complete double standard douches as heroes and unfortunately teamed them up with weak willed, no self-respect doormat heroines. This them seems to be the normal in this series rather than the odd. Pity as the background stories are entertaining reading with likeable characters.
Creed is the son of Lucifer and a seduced angel. He had a horrible childhood. Well, maybe I should say he has a horrible life. But he is not a horrible person, just a really tough one. I loved his character, but Jenna (not his mate) I loved more. She is a secondary character in a lot of the Iron Wolves books, but for me she steals the show. I adore her. I cannot wait till she stars in her own book. This was a great story about Creed, his very innocent to be mate, and her very interesting relatives. And Satan played the bad guy. And Creed's other relatives (also very interesting characters) played a role. There were a lot of great characters in this book.
Well first of all Elle Boon is one bad a** author! That said this story was awesome from the first page to the last page. Creed was the illegitimate son of Satan and an angel...he was thousands of years old and had been literally through HELL! The last thing he thought to find in a room in hell was a beautiful young lady being held for his father...especially when he feels her pull...HIS! Damn he got rid of the"thing" that was holding her and got outta there...Raina was halfvamp half wolf and the daughter of the Vampire King! The story just gets better...with the Fay queen...Kellen the Alpha from Iron Wolf's!!
Loved this. Have read a couple other of Elle Boon books and the main character Creed was mentioned in one of those stories (Dark Embrace). I haven't read a lot by this author but started buying more as love her humor in the books I have read. This one is hot, sexy, and funny. There is characters from other books in this story but enough is done with them that can read this story without reading theirs. Yet does show them in a light that now I want to read them. This is a book to put on the keeper shelf and pull out and reread every so often especially if need a hot, sexy alpha with a willingness to protect with his life lead character with humor mixed in the book.
The devil is a real evil asshole especially 2 his kids and he got a rude awakening when his on stole what wasn't truly his dad's but his own true love mate. It will b very interesting 2 read a book about his sis of pure light and a good mate 4 her. Even if creed is half in half it would b interesting 2 c what their future kids were if they would have sum in the future. Since she's half vamp, and half wolve, and he's half angel and half demon. It's sad that his sis got killed by their bastard dad though especially when she had 2nd thoughts about helping her.
Safe, they weren't with others after meeting. When the h saw into the H's mind she saw all of the women that he has been with, and it is a lot since he is thousands of years old, and that sucks and wish we didn't have time read that. She is not experienced and needs to be told what to do, not my thing since he is so experienced. At one time the H thought the h's mother was his chosen, awkward. Also not a fan that he can control her by whispering a suggestion into her mind.I The book ends at 82%
Creed is the son of Satan and an angel. He is more good than bad. His Chosen has been kidnapped by Satan’s minions and he plans to keep her as his own. Raina is the daughter of the vampire King and a wolf shifter. She knows Creed is Her Hearts Love and isn’t scared of his demon side. When Raina is tricked while dream walking, Creed will give up his life for hers.
Vampires, demons, and other supernatural beings. Creed is a bad boy and Raina has always dreamed of a bad boy being her mate. Action and super sexy scenes.
This book is again linked to the main series, but it has its own storyline. This story is shorter than the others, more of a novella, but it links up many of the different groups in the series. I think it would have made an excellent read if it had been extended and expanded on. The characters were good, but if fully developed, they could have been amazing. A good short read that slots into the series to bring in new characters to add to the old, and I expect to expand other books.
I thought this was a departure from the original story lines but looking back it really wasn't. What difference is a halfling than a wolpire... an interesting diversion and shorter than I expected. Without divulging more to the story, I did enjoy bring the Feymore into the story line. I just wish there was a legend that could let you know the order that would provide the best tie in to the other series.
Raina is in a heap of trouble when she is kidnapped for Satan himself. The man who rescues her ends up being his son, Creed. She is his chosen and her wolf knows he is her mate. Can these two survive the wrath and Satan? Creed learns a lot about his family in this book. I love the twist and turns within the storyline. Awesome writing.
Five huge stars for the Hellboy Creed!! Oh be still my beating heart! Of all the places to find his Chosen but he will literally move hell to keep her safe. With help from the feisty Fey Queen (love that woman) and a helping hand from Damien, Lucas and Kellen, Creed fights the demons of hell to get Raina back to him. Lord oh Lord! This had me laughing out loud, swooning and everything in between! I cannot get enough of this series!!
