Lord Viper de L'Night is protective of
his sister Starr and when she goes missing he will do
whatever he needs to do to get her back. Finding out that
Lady Dominique Toussaint’s cousin has her makes his job that
much easier. Lady Dominique is the ruling vampire on her
lands and she doesn’t know anything about the missing Starr,
but what she does know is that she can’t allow Viper to come
in and take the lands that belong to her and her cousin.
Viper has always wanted Dominique even when he suffered
through the lashing that left him scared at the hands of
their Master. Now he has Dominique where he wants her all
he has to do is get her to submit and submitting is the last
thing on Dominique’s mind.
You never know how it will turn out when putting a ruling
female vamp with a more powerful and aggressive male
vampire. In Lord Viper, Ruth D. Kerce took a
chance that she would be able to create a relationship where
the heroine who was inherently strong wasn’t overshadowed by
the male lead. I’m happy to report that didn’t happen, even
though Dominique initially fought tooth and nail as she and
Viper became closer they both learned the art of compromise
where it mattered the most. Still allowing Viper to take
the lead when he needed to be in charge, I thought it was
great to see him soften his stance and discuss issues with
her without forcing his will and demands when it came to
ruling what was hers. I’m really interested in seeing how
this series evolves because there were definitely a few
secondary characters I would love to see more of. |
