Laura Hunsaker ~ Highlander Reborn ~ Contest

Today we are doing an ARC review of Laura Hunsaker's Highlander Reborn PLUS Laura has decided to do a giveaway as well to celebrate the new book that releases October 2, 2012.
Highlander Reborn

Blurb – 

Highlander Reborn begins in Scotland, many centuries ago, where a blacksmith fights for his life and his people. His life is forever changed when Amalia, one of the Nightkind, makes the choice to save his life. But first, he has to die...

1304…

After Nevin MacLachlan’s wife was killed by a vampire, he made it his mission to hunt them all down. But one late Highland night, in a battle he couldn’t win, one of the Nightkind ripped open his throat. With his blood draining onto the grass, the last thing Nevin sees isn’t a white light; it’s the dark of night closing in on him.

Amalia has been enamored with the blacksmith ever since he first held a stake to her heart. Watching him die was unacceptable. Will he ever forgive her for turning him into what he hates most?

Nevin has lived his life alone for a reason. When Amalia walks back into his life seven centuries later asking for help, he wants nothing more but to turn his back to her. But something about her still calls to him.

Some of the Nightkind in Amalia’s seethe have been killed. It’s up to her to find Nevin and ask for his help. But how can she show Nevin that she isn’t the monster he thinks she is?


Review –

I was excited beyond description when I received an advanced copy of Laura Hunsaker’s Highlander Reborn.  I hurried through my nightly routine to curl up with it and then took much longer than normal breaks at work today.  If not for my Kindle battery needing charging, I probably would clocked out much later than normal.  Yes, it’s THAT good!
Hot Highlander turned vampire + patient and seductive Queen of the seethe = a sexy page turner you just can’t put down.  I’d describe the initial tension between Nevin and Amalia as loathsome, though it quickly transformed to lust. With their histories (for the most part) cast aside, they must overcome her own seethe feeling threatened by Nevin’s mere presence, as well as determine who’s responsible for the recent Nightkind killings.  I was surprised how much Laura Hunsaker was able to pack into this short story, it was seductively enticing, and she left me wanting for only one thing (except for a story about Sebastian next, pleeease)!  
I loved it...full of face-fanning sex scenes, action, and quite a few laugh out loud moments.

  3. From the blurb, this book sounds great! Nevin appears to be a dark, brooding hero - yum! I also like anything with werewolves - historic or contemporary. Congrats to the highland hussy, Laura, on her new release!

  6. Oh no - I caught my dreaded word choice/proofreading (or lack thereof) error!

    Original: "...and she left me wanting for only one thing (except for a story about Sebastian next, pleeease)!"

    Please note that I meant: "...and she left me wanting for only one thing - a story about Sebastian next, pleeease)!"

    Good luck to all who entered to win. You're going to love Highlander Reborn!
