Since I finally caught up on my reading, I felt it was time to start reading books from my very long TBR. When I started to look through my list, my eye caught the cover of ‘Broken Dawn’. I never read a book by Dianne Duvall before, and I was a little anxious about this being book ten in the series, but I read some great stuff about this book so I decided to start reading.
In ‘Broken Dawn’ we meet Nick Belanger. Nick has been attracted to his neighbor for years now. Kayla is a single mom, and absolutely gorgeous. But Nick knows he has to stay away from her. Nick is an immortal warrior, fighting vampires for a living. What could he give Kayla? So he stays away.
Kayla has been watching her handsome neighbor for awhile now. He is so handsome and kind, but he never seems to want to be around her for long. But when Kayla’s life is in danger, Nick can’t stay away any longer.
Although this book is book 10 in the series, I can easily be read as a standalone. Yes, I could tell some of these side characters had a story of their own and there seems to be a lot more going on in this world then I found out through this read. But it didn’t bother me at all. It only made me curious to read the previous books to be honest. And that is a plus.
The paranormal aspect of this book was definitely fun. The author explains the ‘gifts’ of these immortals, so I never felt like I missed out on something. I loved the idea of these Immortal Guardians, and I really like to figure out more about this world.
The romance between Nick and Kayla feels a bit sudden. But both these characters have been attracted to each other from a distance for years. So it kind of fitted the story. And I loved their chemistry right from the start.
I did feel like the major ‘event’ in this book wasn’t as big as I thought it would be. Which made this book more of a Romance, than a suspense, but overall I definitely enjoyed this read and I look forward to reading more books in this series.
