Summary: Bound by the demon of doubt, Sabin unintentionally destroys even the most confident of lovers. So the immortal warrior spends his time on the battlefield instead of the bedroom, victory his only concernâ¦until he meets Gwendolyn the Timid. One taste of the beautiful redhead, and he craves more. Gwen, an immortal herself, always thought she'd fall for a kind human who wouldn't rouse her darker side. But when Sabin frees her from prison, battling their enemies for the claim to Pandora's box turns out to be nothing compared to the battle Sabin and Gwen will wage against loveâ¦

First off....let me say when I saw Nyx (see Kresley Cole) in this book walking though Buda...I squealed like a little girl and got crazy excited, especially since Torin was instantly attracted, you know what that means. We have reached the point where Gena Showalter is starting to bleed her plot a bit...we are seeing more of the other characters perspectives in this book than in the others, and I like it. I like Sabin's take charge sort of character but I felt that the conflict between himself and his female, Gwen, was a bit forced...like Showalter was just trying to put something in there quickly to give them some sort of conflict. This book started and ended well...it flowed throughout and there was no tedious catch-up for days. Over all not too bad a read, I am excited for the next book in this series...hopefully we will see more of Nyx.
