Damon DeMasters is a vampire warrior who has taken an oath to protect his own kind as well as humans. As a social worker, Nicole Callahan fights for the right of every child placed in her care. Damon has been ordered to train Nicole and her colleagues against the dangers they now face. Even as sparks fly, Nicole and Damon depend on each other to protect the children of both races.
Damon #1
“I still think you are taking grave risks that you are ill equipped to take, human,” Damon scowled, his voice a low deep rumble of authority.
“Yeah, well, it wasn’t you who put that child in the hands of a monster, vamp,” Nicole shot back. If he thought to scare her with the big bad vampire warrior thing he had going on, he was sadly mistaken. Backing down wasn't an option when it came to her job.
“Ah....okay,” Duncan stepped in not liking where this was heading. “Everybody partner up.”
Mitch glared a warning at Nicole, who just shrugged and mouthed, “He started it.” Taking a quick peek at the warrior, she noticed his smug grin. Oh yeah, this was going to be a problem.
Damon #2
Damon stopped in the middle of the mat and turned toward her, “Lay down and spread your legs.”
Nicole stopped suddenly, her eyes shooting from his ass to his face. “Ah, most guys buy me a drink first.” At his raised eyebrow, Nicole snorted, “Okay. Sorry. Just a joke. You know you can probably buy a sense of humor on Craigslist.”
“There’s nothing wrong with my sense of humor.” Once she was on the ground, he knelt between her legs. “I just didn't find that funny.”
Nicole rolled her eyes then gasped when he grabbed both her wrists and held them above her head with one hand. “Hey!”

Nicole has been helping kids vampire and human alike with her job as a social worker for years. But recently with the influx for vampire children and people wanting the high of Crimson Rush (vampire blood) her job has gotten harder and now she's become a target. Damon and other Guardians are there to train the them in self defence but with Nicole being directly being threatened she requires 24/7 guard, but as the two spend more and more time together their attraction ignights and if they can't figure out who's after Nicole everything between them could be over before it starts.
Nicole is strong and feisty I loved her character and how she took no prisoners when she wanted something. She heart is huge she cares so much for everyone weather it's "her kids" or her friends she would do anything to protect them even if it meant risking herself.
Damon is an alpha male but he's a stubborn one at that. He'll do anything to protect Nicole even from himself. He is caring and thoughtful towards her even when he was trying to push her away. Their push pull relationship drove me nuts at times but it made the story all the better.
I loved the interaction between all the characters and how they kept things light even when things got tough. The story keeps you interested and it's not just a romance but so much more. There's mystery and suspence and the vampire element in there was great. My only annoyance was that I wished there was more in depth info about the vampire element. Overall great read and a great start to a new series.
The VC Warriors are an elite group of vampire who protect innocents, whether human or those of their own race. Jared Kincaid, along with other Warriors, are shocked when a fiery red head with a gun and attitude, bring news of young teens being turned into an army of half-breed vampires capable of taking out all VC Warriors.
Breaking into the famed VC Warriors compound was definitely not the smartest thing Tessa Pride has ever done, but she will do anything for her brother, Adam. The Warriors held the one person she knew was responsible for her brother being turned into a half-breed and nothing will stop her from getting what she needs to help her brother, not even a Warrior whose eyes could make her melt with one look.
Jared and Tessa join forces in a desperate scramble to find who is responsible. With a war between Warriors and half-breeds brewing, suspicions of traitors in their midst put the lives of everyone involved on the line
Jared #1
“You’re making a big mistake.” Jared tried one last time to stop these two before they got in more trouble than they were already in.
The woman hesitated before slowly backing out of the room, “Trusting a blood sucking vampire would be the mistake.”
“I’ll be seeing you…,” Jared leaned toward her as far as he could, “very soon.” Anticipation in the form of a smile tipped his lips when she ran out the door, leaving the scent of honeysuckle in her wake.
Jared #2
“Ah, no way. I’m driving,” Tessa shook her head. “This is my boss’s car and if anything happens to it, it’s my ass…literally.”
“Give me the keys, Tessa,” his tone was as firm as his glare.
“No.” Backing away, Tessa stuck them in her front pocket with a smirk, “I drive or you walk.”
Jared grabbed her so fast, sticking his hand in her front pocket fishing out the keys, that Tessa didn’t have time to react. He dangled the keys in front of her, “Who’s walking?”

The mate thing is for fools don't get him wrong he's happy for Damon, but seriously? An extra special bond between two people, yea right. Right? That's what Jared thought but even attempting to deny his attraction to the feisty redhead who tied him to a chair is pointless, but can it really be this mate thing?
Tessa's only concern is doing whatever is takes to protect her brother, but can she trust Jared to help her? Their attraction is growing, but with hell beacking loose around them can they really have a chance at being together?
I thought Nicole was awsome but Tessa is great too. I love these strong female leads who will do anything for what their passionate about. Right away you can see how much Tess loves her brother by how he's willing to do anything to protect and help him.
Jared is another hard headed alpha male but I loved seeing him get put in his place by the firey Tessa. The humor between the two helped keep things light even when things were tough and this one kept me laughing throughout.
The story evolves from book 1 and bring you even more into this world and keeps you interested throughout. I'm definitely hooked on this series and recomend it to everyone who love this genre.
