The Delight
I loved the Dark Protectors series and any chance to get one more story from that world was good enough to get me excited.
Review
Now, Talen, is technically not a new release. It was originally a bonus novella in the back of one of the spin-off Realm Enforcers series. Talen is a bridge story between the two series and reads best after the end of Dark Protectors and fits just as the other series is getting under way.
I got so excited to see this was a fun Talen and Cara story. Twenty-five years after they become a mated couple, they are still a fun pair to read about. Talen is still a dominant, pushy vampire and Cara is still doing her level best to teach him a thing or two about strong, spirited females. They are supposed to be headed out on their first vacation alone since the war and Cara’s illness is over, but nothing is ever simple or easy for the Kayrs family.
Loved this exciting peek-in with Talen and Cara and a few other series regulars for a great cross-over story that may be novella length, but its developed and complete. If you’re a fan of action-packed passionate paranormal romance, but haven’t read the Dark Protectors, take a gander at those and prepare for a good time.
I rec’d this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

I haven’t started this series yet but I should.
I really loved it, Mary. I think you’ll enjoy her paranormal world and all the excitement once things get rolling in the series.
I’m always looking our for new PNR series to begin so I’m glad I stopped by this post! #getsocial17
Even better! Glad you could meet with a book series that has your interest.
Thanks for dropping by for #GetSocial17.
oh it must be nice to see them after so long!
Yes, it was a great reunion. 🙂
I still need to try this series out. I’ve loved so many of her others but just never started these for some reason. Yay for it being a fun read 🙂
Its a good series. It gets better as it gets going. 🙂
Gads, another series I need to read. I am reading her newer ones, and love them.
LOL! So many books, right? I haven’t touched her Montana contemporaries yet, but they are on the ist. 🙂
oh I love this series, but haven’t read this novella so I gotta grab it up. Sounds like a fun one too. I am interested to see how they are after being mated for so long.
This one was a treat, Renee. I’ve got a couple of the newer novellas that I need to snag from the 1001 Nights series that are also Dark Protector books.
I need to read this series. It really sounds like my kind of book. Great review!
It was a good PNR action and passion-packed series, Carole. I loved some of the middle books the most and then that end book was long anticipated. This follow up novella was a great reunion with the series.
I kinda want to binge-read this series. I’ve read one of Zanetti’s Entangled Brazen books and I liked it, but I’ve been really curious about this series. I’m glad you enjoyed this novella – sometimes novellas are hit or miss!
Have a wonderful weekend, Sophia. =)

I still need to try that Montana series. Yeah, novellas are tricky for me, too, but I could not pass this one up. 🙂
