Insatiable Desire- A Joyfully Recommended Title

Clarissa King is clairvoyant. Often times she is bombarded with visions that rattle her sanity. In her hometown, Clarissa's visions are coming more often and are more brutal. There is a serial killer preying on the people of her town and Clarissa is willing to do anything to solve this mystery - even rely on the FBI agent that she knew, loved, and lost so long ago. And, if that is not bad enough, he doesn't believe in her paranormal gifts. Vincent Valtrez left Clarissa and his hometown a long ago. The victim of horrendous abuse as a boy, Vincent has blocked out most of his traumatic past but he feels evil deep inside him. Determined to find the man responsible for the strain of murders, Vincent must fight daily to keep the darkness and Clarissa at bay. Insatiable Desire - the title alone made me stop and take a look. Vincent's desire for Clarissa was insatiable; although he fought a good fight. The biggest obstacle that had to be overcome was Vincent's refusal to believe in Clarissa's gifts. Once that happened, their love blossomed and their reliance upon each other became apparent. Their fight against evil took every ounce of fortitude they have and I could not get enough of this tremendous storyline. Insatiable Desire released in September 2008. I am happy to note that Insatiable Desire looks to be the first of a three part series. I am already anxiously awaiting the second installment! Talia Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Dark and Dangerous - Deeeply Sensual 4-1/2*

FBI agent Vincent Valtrez is the son of a devil and an angel. He is a Dark Lord with the potential of either doing good deeds or perpetuating unforgivable evil. His deceased father, Zion, will soon return to earth to become the new leader of Hell's legions. Pan, an evil being of fear, wants to harvest Vincent's soul to win Zion's approval. In order to accomplish that he lures Vincent back to his hometown by involving one of Vincent's only childhood friends, psychic/ghost whisperer Clarissa King. Clarissa knows that recent `accidental' looking deaths of her friends, are not accidental but murders perpetuated by a serial killer. It is not long before Clarissa and Vincent both recognize these deaths were not done by a human, but by a demon who is targeting Clarissa next in order to unleash the evil rage and blood lust that Vincent fights to keep from overtaking him. *** Past experience with author Rita Herron has up to this point been with her dynamic romantic suspense novels which have always been filled with edge-of-the-seat nail biting suspense and fabulous sensual romances. As she embarks on this new series, she "kicks it up a notch" with a heavy hard hitting and graphic paranormal that deals with a truly horrifying evil entity (Pan) and a male hero who isn't quite sure where he stands insofar as being a good guy or evil. The author paints a sympathetic picture of Vincent over his struggle to overcome his "bad blood" along with the years of abuse perpetuated at the hand of his father who attempted to turn Vincent into a monster like himself. The attraction between the two leads was inevitable. Both were ridiculed as children. Clarissa with her `crazy' psychic powers which she tried to submerge after her mother committed suicide; Vincent as the only person to ever return from the Black Forest alive when his parents disappeared. Vincent grew up with rumors that he was thought to have murdered them both. Two tortured children who had each survived traumatic childhoods all grown up and trying to resist the pull that was bringing them back together. Vincent afraid he'd turn into a monster like his dad; and Clarissa not knowing if love could help him drive away his demons or put her in more danger. There remained, on the eve of the lunar eclipse when Zion is supposed to rise from the dead, who would win the battle for Vincent's soul? From the very beginning Herron captures your attention and doesn't let it go in this tremendous battle of good vs. evil and the great news is...it doesn't end here! The bad news is, one must wait for the second book in her Demonborn series to continue this winning series. This is highly recommended reading that will leave fans clamoring for more.

Dark, sexy alpha hero!

LOVE the hero in this book--so dark and sexy and struggling with good and bad urges. The heroine is his match in every way and I couldn't wait for them to be together. I love this kind of paranormal story--dark and creepy, but grounded in enough reality that you think "this could actually be happening right under our noses." Am thrilled to know that there will be two more books in the Demonborn series! This author knows how to entertain.

Insatiable desire an intriguing page turner.

Something bad happened to Vincent Valtrez in the Black Forest of Tennessee when he was a child, something dark, sinister and powerful. He never wanted to go back there again, not if he wanted any chance at a normal life. Leave it to a woman to ruin the best laid plans. Clarissa King believes she can speak to the dead, but that isn't what really scares Vincent about her. She was the one woman who could turn him inside out years ago. Now she's the one he has to team up with to take down a demonic killer...with an otherwordly connection to Vincent. Rita Herron's taut suspense novels have always been on my keeper shelf, but her paranormal showcases her ability to write dark, edgy and sexy. Insatiable Desire appears to be a great start to her new The Demonborn series. Bring on number two.

Review

FBI agent, Vincent Valtrez has been called back home to Tennessee. There has been what the local psychic believes to be a string of murders. Vincent has strived to make sure he never had to set foot in Black Forest. Legend has it that evil lives in Black Forest and everyone who has ever went into the forest was never seen or heard from again, that is except for Vincent. Many years ago something happened to Vincent in the forest and her survived barely. Now not only does he have to deal with going back home but he also has to work side by side with the one woman who makes his heart race as well as makes Vincent want to act like a bad, bad boy. So just who is this woman that has Vincent all twisted up in knots? Her name is Clarissa King. She claims that she can communicate with the dead. Clarissa and Vincent team up to bring down the killer. Unfortunately they will have their hands full as this killer really is evil. Vincent and Clarissa were great characters. They had good depth as well as personality to them. Plus it didn't hurt any the hot steamy chemistry they shared together. Once I started reading Insatiable Desire, I found I couldn't put it down. I was sad when it ended. I have to say that I have read a few of Rita Herron's book and enjoyed them a lot but Insatiable Desire is my first paranormal romance novel I have read by her. After reading this book I have to say I like this new, darker, and edgier side of Ms. Herron. Insatiable Desire is a wonderful kickoff to what I know will be a successful new series; The Demonborn by Ms. Herron.
