review 1: The series carries on now telling the story of Daniel. Daniel has loved Titus his ex-lover and Master ever since Titus saved him from an abusive owner. Daniel has always wanted the forever-kind of love from Titus but it was never meant to be as Titus found that with his new lover Andre.Daniel needs to learn to be his own person and find a lover of his own, but due to his abusive past Daniel is not comfortable with other vampires. Ryu is nearly as old as Titus and has been a close friend and ally to Daniel but Daniel learns fast that Ryu may be the one for him.I loved Daniel and for all his bitchiness and sarcasm he still had a lot of issues (even if they occurred hundred of years ago). I loved his relationship with Ryu and I definitely love his relationship with Titus and ... moreAndre too.The story was okay but I did skim at times, but I definitely loved reading about Daniel.
review 2: I greatly enjoyed watching Daniel come into his own. For a 300 year old vampire, he wasn't very sure in himself, in spite of how he looked on the outside, and after the fight a few months ago, he was even more unsure of himself.Ryu had been in love with Daniel for so long, he had long given up hope of that love one day being returned, but suddenly Daniel is looking at him differently, in the way Ryu had always wanted to see.I also enjoyed having the story with Isaac and Troy reach it's end, although did it really? I have a feeling we will be seeing more of Troy, hopefully with the newly introduced Niven. There seemed a bit of sequel bait there.My only niggle is one I have with a lot of SJ Frost's work- the guys seemed a bit overly sappy in their love, the things they say to each other. I tried to tell myself it was their age, but I just don't know if anyone, male or female, really talks that way, no matter their age. less

Strong story and characters, good flow, sometimes hard to find the story through the sex

Yeah - good. But not gripping...
