Yes, I agree!

I love that we get to see the caring side of Ian that he always hides. Veritas and Ian work well together. I liked that we see glimpses of the other characters we love in this series. WTH kind of ending was that!! I will definitely have to read the rest of the series! I enjoyed it.
Love this!
“Even if we both survive, I won't enforce my claim on you," I said desperately. "In fact, the first thing I'll do is drop you back at that bordello in Poland and order you a new carnival orgy, promise!" Then I threw up, spraying a stream of crimson all over him as I lost my fight against the nausea.
"See?" I managed when I finished puking. Vow sealed with a blood oath."
He looked down at himself in disgust. "This is everything I knew marriage would be.” Got to love Ian!

Lol that was awesome! I'm not finished, but so far I really like them together, too. There's so much I had forgotten about this series.

Right! She does a good job refreshing our memory about the other books.

They keep talking about Cat's daughter, Katie. I don't remember that at all, lol. Looks like we might have another series to re-read some day :)
Finished. Loved it! I'm glad we got to see another side of Ian. I've always loved him :)
Do you want to read the other two books in this series or go back to Dresden?

Genre: Romance, Fantasy, Paranormal
Book Description:In this thrilling new Night Rebel series set in New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress world, sexy and ruthless vampire Ian finally meets his match!
The Rule Breaker...
Master vampire Ian is unrepentant, shameless...and every shade of wicked. He's made one too many enemies in his two centuries of existence, including Dagon, a demon who now lays claim to his soul. Ian's only chance to escape Dagon is to join forces with a Law Guardian, but he's never been able to abide by the rules for long.
The Law Maker...
Veritas' normal role is police, judge, and jury to reprobates like Ian. But she has her own ax to grind with Dagon, so if she can use Ian as bait...well, all's fair in law and war. As they scour supernatural hotspots to perfect their trap, Veritas soon realizes Ian's carefully cultivated, devil-may-care roguish image hides something much more powerful. And Ian discovers Veritas has shocking secrets of her own. As they're drawn to each other with a passion as intense as their peril, either love or justice will prevail. But each will have devastating consequences.
