Garreth MacRieve(Lykae) & Lucia (half Valkyrie/half unknown species)Okay, I think Lykae are my favourite immortals in this series. After “A Hunger Like No Other” which was my favourite book with Lachlain MacRieve (leader of the Lykae Clan) as the main character, my second best book is this one with Lachain’s brother, Garreth MacRieve, as the main character. The book has basically two parts: The first part has the events of “A Hunger Like No Other” from a different prespective and it discribes ho...

I can’t stop reading this series!!!!!

I deliberately took a long hiatus on this series. Not because I didn’t love it, or that I was bored. No! Quite the contrary. I did it because it was doggone heartbreaking to run out of books after Kiss of a Demon King. Now, I have accumulated a nicely sizable stock of IAD stories, and I am good to go, if having to avoid spoilers like the plague doesn’t put a bit of a crimp in my style.The Story:It was quite fun to see besotted Lykae, Garreth MacRieve chasing after his reluctant (for the most par...

I LOVED IT. What an awesome audiobook! Robert Petkoff was on it again!Sometimes the timeline with this series throw me off, but the events of this book coincided with A Hunger Like No Other. This one was a lykae lead, not demon nor vampire.My two favorite books featured Lykae, Bowen & Garreth.In this book Garreth was playing rugby with other supernatural creatures when he scented Lucia, his female. The one had been searching all over for. He quickly followed her scent until he was able to really...

I...loved...this...book! It was a fabulous thrill ride from the start all the way to the harrowing, grisly climax, and contained my favorite IAD hero (sorry, Sebastian), the Prince of the Lykae, Garreth MacRieve. Ahhh MacRieve... Scot... Wolf (all names that the heroine, Lucia the Huntress called him), I totally fell for your Scottish charm, your dogged determination, and your devotion to your lass, "Lousha". Your humor, your sexy brogue, your singlemindedness to claim your mate...you definitely...

I do love me a Valkyrie heroine & a Lykae hero... I'm just a sucker for a hero in pursuit, and those crazy Scottish werewolves are just relentless. I also really enjoyed the action adventure type plot that unfolds over the second half of the book on the Contessa in the Amazon. The series is often at its best when it includes a big external conflict on top of the angst

"Lass, I'm about to make you a widow--" Kresley Cole is more and more merciless – with her characters and with her readers as well. So much blood, so much tension, pain, and death.The first 16 chapters parallel the storyline of A Hunger Like No Other. The book starts with Lucia and Garreth’s first encounter, when Garreth realizes that Lucia is his mate, and ends when Lucia runs away from him, and Garreth vows he is going to have her back in two weeks. We meet them one year later. Garr

4 to 41/2 starsMy goodness! This book took me on an emotional roller-coaster ride like none of the other books in the series have. Right from the start, Pleasures of a Dark Prince had me experiencing an array of emotions–from sorrow, to exasperation, to trepidation, to elation. I was exhausted by the end. Once again, I found myself captivated and in awe of the amazingly complex story arc, but flustered and annoyed with the book's romance. In all honesty, I continue reading this series not for th...

3.5 Solid StarsIn this book we get the tale of we get the story of Lucia the Huntress, a Valkyrie whose aim with a bow and arrow would make Robin Hood weep in envy, and Garreth MacRieve, the Lykae Prince – who has spent hundreds of years yearning for his fated mate. The pairing of these two was spot on, and they are an enjoyable coupe. I loved how Garreth was never deterred from protecting but also caring for Lucia - the barriers she's put in place to protect herself after loosing her innocence

“She’d been born for him. And I was born to find her…” Pleasure of a Dark Prince gave me the same feelings and vibes as if I was reading A Hunger Like No Other again. I loved Garreth, he's Lachlain's brother and on a mission to claim his mate. The incidents he's thrown into is very much like his brother's. Lucia the Huntress never gives up so easily when it comes to her life, so she fights the temptation pulling her to him strongly, no matter how hard it gets. “Fate has a way of getting wh

Dear Sebastian,You know I’m a vampire girl at heart, but I’ve been pleasured by a Dark Prince and now I can’t look back! A Scot has won over my heart and I’d be damned if I let him run off!Sorry, love.Pleasure of a Dark Prince is the ninth book in the IAD series. I have to stress the importance of reading the series in order. I made that mistake earlier on when I read the third book first! I’m totally kicking myself for being so foolish. Again, Cole writes Pleasure of a Dark Prince in parallel w...

Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsAfter listening to this installment, I now realize why the last few titles have made me cranky. It’s because I’ve been waiting for Garreth’s story since book 1, and the delay finally caught up with me. This series came highly recommended on account of its “sexy Scottish werewolves”, but they’ve been mostly MIA since WICKED DEEDS ON A WINTER’S NIGHT, so the younger MacRieve’s romance was long overdue. All is right with the world again.In PLEASURE OF A DARK PRINCE readers g...

Loved this story, was throughly engaged the whole time. I loved the banter and growth you see in Lucia and Garreth. The story itself is 4 stars but the narrator made it 5 stars total. He was excellent and nailed all the different voices for the characters. Especially when he spoke in his Garreth voice... that brogue did stuff to me for sure! Loved it.

"You're my woman, Lousha. Damn you, I'll never want another!" Can I just say that I LOVED Garreth MacRieve!! He embodies everything that I love in an Werewolf Alpha.Garreth was patient, kind, and strong as sin. I was in awe by what he was physically capable of. Garreth was also hell bent on protecting his woman at any cost. And did I say he was patient? These two didn't seal the deal until after page 300 and over a year (book time) of chase.Garreth MacRieve, Prince of the Lykae "You've mad

Let me begin by saying that Pleasures of a Demon King, Kresley Cole’s 7th book of the Immortals after Dark series has to be one of my FAVOURITE PNR reads!!!!!

Another winner! Not to sound like a broken record but Kresley Cole is one of my ultimate favorite authors and this series is my new addiction. Onto the next book ... Cheers!

⤅ Rereading IAD ProjectThe sheer range of heroines we get from Cole throughout this series is actually breath-taking. They're all incredibly unique, and there's so much authorial versatility involved; we have seductive man-eaters like Myst, spineless naïfs like Emmaline, crazy party-girls like Regin... and now ice-cold Lucia, who at times I actually just wanted to shake.
