Vampire Royals of New York: Gabriel #3
Heart of Flames
The road to hell is paved with good intentions… and bad blood.
For the vampire prince and his witch, the plan was simple:
Save the wolf. Capture the traitor who took him. Torture the bastard into spilling the intel on the demons working against them.
But after a string of brutal attacks leaves one vampire near death and the rest reeling from the effects of the blood curse, Gabriel and Jacinda have no choice but to hunt down their enemies at the source:
Hell.
It’s a land of imprisoned souls, unimaginable torments, and ever-shifting realms that make Earth’s most inhospitable places feel like paradise. And for the monsters who call this brutal underworld home, the newcomers look like easy prey.
But for Gabriel and Jacinda, the real enemies aren’t the demons lurking in hell’s darkest corners.
The real enemies are the demons lurking inside their own dark souls.
And the servants of hell won’t rest until every last one is brought to light.

About the author
Sarah Piper
32 books1,031 followersSarah Piper is a witchy, Tarot-card-slinging paranormal romance and urban fantasy author. Through her signature brew of dark magic, heart-pounding suspense, and steamy romance, Sarah promises a sexy, supernatural escape into a world where the magic is real, the monsters are sinfully hot, and the witches always get their magically-ever-afters.
Readers have dubbed her work “super sexy,” “imaginative and original,” “off-the-walls good,” and “delightfully wicked in the best ways,” a quote Sarah hopes will appear on her tombstone.
Originally from New York, Sarah now makes her home in northern Colorado with her husband (though that changes frequently) (the location, not the husband), where she spends her days sleeping like a vampire and her nights writing books, casting spells, gazing at the moon, playing with her ever-expanding collection of Tarot cards, binge-watching Supernatural (Team Dean!), and obsessing over the best way to brew a cup of tea.

I absolutely loved this conclusion to Gabriel and Jaci's trilogy! Sarah Piper's Vampire Royals of New York is an amazing series filled with action, adventure, love, heat and irreverent humor, too.
Gabriel's transformation throughout this entire series has been a treat to experience. He was so anti-love, so anti-family and attachment, and it was great to see him really embrace his feelings towards Jaci, and try to forge a path together and protect her. Jaci is a fantastic character - strong, smart, determined, and ultimately so loving.
Shane East and Vanessa Edwin was amazing. They've done such a great job throughout this entire series really capturing the spirit and passion in both of these characters. I know I'll listen to this series again in the future because it was so enjoyable that it deserves another listen.
Sarah Piper really creates a world that immerses you so fully in that world. She make sure that we're attached to her characters, too. Not just the main characters, but all of them. I love this world, and can't wait for more!

This book was such a good conclusion to Gabriel and Jacinda's story. I loved how everything was wrapped up and the breadcrumbs that we got for what I think is the next couple for the Vampire Royals of New York series. And everything from this series and the first trilogy came together and got tied with a pretty little bow so well. I feel like this series overall is definitely a series that deserves a reread later on.

Gabriel and Jacinda are still trying to find a way to break the curse and also save her fathers soul. Just when you think they’re are on the winning streak along comes her sister and throws another spanner in the works. It had me sat on the edge of my seat shouting at things I didn’t expect to happen to Gabriel and Jacinda . So happy everything works out for them both in the end.

This is for the Heart of Thorns/Heart of Fury/Heart of Flames trilogy:
Gabriel Redthorne, vampire prince and younger brother of Dorian, the vampire king. Gabriel is the most ruthless of the Redthorne brothers, and with good reason. He leaves a long trail of death and destruction behind him and isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. He kind of prefers it sometimes. When his king needs his help to destroy an enemy to their bloodline, Gabriel’s all in. He doesn’t trust the witch Jacinda, but she’s the only one who can help him maneuver through all the terrible places to find what he’s looking for. Fighting it every step of the way, Gabriel’s attraction to Jaci is inconvenient. Jaci feels the attraction as well, but she’s better off dodging the vampire prince who mistrusts witches, yet is using her to hunt down some of the bad guys. What Gabriel doesn’t know is just how close those monsters are to Jaci. She’s got a few secrets of her own, and as their journey commences, they will be revealed.
When Gabriel and Jaci give into their lust, it is hot AF! But when they both accept their feelings for one another, heaven—and hell—help anyone who tries to harm either of them. The worlds they travel through and the witches, demons, and other monsters that cross their paths are no joke. This is a test of their will and love of family.
This series was intense to say the least. Sarah Piper packs this story with lots of action, plenty of heat, and another dirty talking vampire (thank you!). Shane East and Vanessa Edwin are phenomenal in their narration. Shane’s range of emotions in this series is heart stopping. He seamlessly flows from one character, feeling, attitude, and intensity. Shane owns this series, and I think he knows it. Most of the characters from Dorian’s trilogy is in this story. I’m still seriously crushing on Cole and Adrian.

Well, this is pure magic hotness!!!
Heart of Flames concludes Gabriel and Jacinda´s thrilling, whirlwind journey of love, steamy sexy chemistry, gripping adventure, and hours of entertaining snarky humour! In part three, Jacinda and Gabriel are out on a rescue mission to save the Redthorne bloodline, lost souls and banish the impending curse, but must go through hell first before they can save the day. They encounter many challenges including ruthless devious demons who stop at nothing to try and capture their souls as well.
Shane East and Vanessa Edwin are aural wonders, what they did, bringing Sarah Piper´s characters to life, is magnificent. What a performance! Shane East´s demanding authoritative voice in these books gave me more than goosebumps and HELLO Vanessa Edwin´s male voice, gee her authoritative whispery deep tone had me flushed too. She is also incredible voicing devious succubus Viansa plus all the emotions Jaci is going through, from snarky to seductive to grief, just perfect. Apart from the sizzling, fiery-hot Gabriel and Jaci scenes, one of my favourites is in chapter 16 involving Gabriel and Dorian. Brilliant acting Mr East.
I have mad love for Sarah Piper´s stories. She is another author who makes my paranormal heart beat faster. Sarah´s whole world-building is so vivid and addictively brilliant with all that sarcasm, edgy suspense, passionate steam and the thirst, oh the thirst, I always want MORE! So, I am excited to see, which of these sexy Vampires or maybe even a certain wolf shifter will be next. Heart of Flames is not out on Audible yet but can be purchased for a limited time directly from the author by following the link below:

A blaze of glory and fireworks.
What can I say to the end of the V.R.O.N.Y??
It was better than even I expected. It's a continuation of Gabriel's and Jacinda's story and moves forward from the cliffhanger of book 5 of V.R.O.N.Y, but is the third and final instalment from Heart of Fury!!
It finally fills in all the gaps and helps bring Gabriel and Jacinda together as a stronger couple and force than they had been previously. Their love finally helping them to see beyond the lies, betrayal and heartache caused. The omissions no longer a concern since everything is now finally in the open.
But their own struggles and those of their family are far from over.
There's still Viansa, the curse and a brief holiday to hell to go through and go through it they do.
The lost souls are found and saved, but in doing so, they lose another. The devastation of what has transpired being all consuming!!
A visit from Malcolm also happens while in hell and finally the truth behind his deception and betrayal comes out, causing untold pain.
All through this, we have the formidable talents of Shane East and Vanessa Edwin, bringing the characters and story to life. Yet again, the pain and joy from the characters are excellently shown through the unrivalled quality of these two narrator's.
Warning though girls, get out the tissues and keep them out, as the full horror of loss is heard and felt by both Shane and Vanessa!!
Do I recommend both book and audio??
Absolutely and I recommend that you buy both together and listen as you read, to give you a far better experience!!

I absolutely loved this book and didn't want it to end! Hell, I think I fell more in love with Gabriel than I did with Dorian, and that's saying a lot. I also loved Jacinda so damn much! This one had me in tears a few times, like when Dorian and Gabriel had that conversation in Chapter 6. It was absolutely heartbreaking. Chapters 13 and 14 were great with Vanessa Edwin. She KILLED IT in these chapters. Especially in Chapter 13 with the conversation with Aiden when Gabriel pops in at the end!
Man, Sarah sure knows how to break you apart then put you back together again. The ride was so well worth it. Of course when Shane East and Vanessa Edwin are narrating characters that seemed tailor made for them, it's even better.

Vampire Royals of New York: Gabriel by Sarah Piper, narrated beautifully by Shane East and Vanessa Edwin is the second trilogy in this series - dark paranormal suspense, mystery, with sexual tension like crazy - SOOOO GOOD! Vampires, werewolves, demons, shifters, witches, magic galore and SUPER sexy with extravagant fuckery (hopefully that's okay to say). I definitely recommend the whole series - but it's definitely NSFW - requires headphones hotness! It's well written with great dialogue, action, evil plot twists, and so much sexual tension you might combust just listening to it.
I'm posting this review for each of the 3 books because they are a trilogy. Don't pass up this series!!

This was an amazing read that hooked me and I could not put it down until the last page was read. It moved along at a great pace making for an enjoyable read. The characters are fantstic and you will fall in love with them and you want to be there for them. The story grabs you and you cant put it down until you finish it. This is a must read and it must be on your list of books to be read, no doubt about it.

The third and final installment of Gabriel and Jacinda's exciting story is chock full of excitement. The sexy vampire prince and his moonflower demon-witch take on Jaci's evil demon sister Viansa and the real villain of the story. This story gives new meaning to the term "go to hell."

Jacinda and Gabriel are a lost couple and this book was an epic conclusion to their story. She was fiery, witty, and passionate making be the perfect compliment for him. All plot holes were closed up and things feel complete. Well done!

Every time I think I know what you expect, something else happens. I enjoy the edge and unexpected twists and turns. In all honesty, I know the ending was expected, but Aiden has me on pins and needles. What is next and when?

The story of Gabriel and Jacy is a delightful smutty and romantic rollercoaster. Both the sex scenes and the storyline is well done. Definitely worth listening to as Shane East has a delicious British accent that is totally swoon worthy. 🌶️🌶️🌶️
