Jacquelyn Frank - Elijah

Elijah the Demon warrior has been trapped. Surrounded by his enemies he tries to stay on his feet, while the life force slowly emerges from him. He can’t let these traitors be the better of him, but as they come closer, his blood drips from his body and he feels he is about to lose conscience. Just before he hits the ground he heard the distinct cougar call. His enemies flee and leave him behind, thinking he’s dead or he will be very soon. With the thought he failed his King, he drifts off in unconsciousness.
Siena, Queen of the lycanthropes approached the fallen warrior. Her cougar call scared off the other women, but sunlight is approaching so she must get Elijah to safer grounds. She stops the bleeding as good as she can, and then takes him to a cavern to let him heal.
When Elijah awakes he attacks Siena, not knowing where he is or who he’s dealing with. When he realizes he is strangling the Lycanthrope Queen, he releases her. But then another kind of confusion settles in between them. How can passion surge that much between a Demon and a Lycanthrope. Determined not to give in, both of them try to make the best out of the forced situation. Until Elijah is better, both of them will have to deal with the suppressed arousal.
However, a passion that strong won’t be denied… So the question remains: where do they go from there? How can the Lycanthrope Queen and the Demon Warrior give in to their passion without causing war again? Will Siena be able to give up her independence and can Elijah be loyal to another Royal than Noah?

Jacquelyn Frank did it again.
Her Nightwalker series proves to be a keeper. Each of the heroes and heroines well worthy for each other. And a way of writing and telling the story that only keeps you yearning for more. Yes, Jacquelyn Frank has made me addicted to this series.
Elijah is a strong man, the leader of the demon warriors, loyal to his King Noah. He can’t believe he, of all demons, ran into a trap made by his enemies. When he is rescued by Siena, he has to fight all of his natural instincts so he will be able to stay away from her.
Siena is equally strong to Elijah. She is the Queen that arranged peace between Demons and Lycanthropes. How can she force Elijah on her people now? He is after all the one that led the demon army, the one that killed their previous king, her father, himself… But an Imprinting isn’t to be denied. And when they part ways, she finds out the side-effects. Determined to ignore them, she feels her mood getting worse hour after hour until Gideon provides for a possible solution. But will the proud Elijah be able to accept her condition?
Elijah is a story that will keep your attention from the first letter up to the very last one. It will make you smile, cry and hope they find a way to be together.
Besides Elijah and Siena’s story, we also meet the villains again and Frank brings us a bit closer to the reason they act like they did and will do again.
Bella is proving to be more than meets the eye, and by standing up to her mate she made me laugh out aloud more than once.
I loved Jacob, Gideon and now Elijah! June better be here fast, because Damien proves to be a hero to die for.
