Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night

Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night Immortals After Dark #3

Kresley Cole2007
This seductive paranormal series continues with a brutal Highland werewolf and an exquisite young witch, adversaries with a blood vendetta between them. Her breathless kiss haunts him... Bowen MacRieve of the Lykae clan was nearly destroyed when he lost the one woman meant for him. The ruthless warrior grew even colder, never taking another to his bed—until a smoldering encounter with his enemy, Mariketa the Awaited, reawakens his darkest desires. When sinister forces unite against her, the Highlander finds himself using all his strength and skill to keep her alive. His slow, hot touch is irresistible... Temporarily stripped of her powers, Mari is forced to take refuge with her sworn adversary. It's rumored that no one can tempt Bowen's hardened heart, but soon passion burns between them. Though a future together is impossible, she fears he has no intention of letting her go. No deed is too wicked for her seduction... If they defeat the evil that surrounds them, can Mari deny Bowen when he demands her body and soul—or will she risk everything for her fierce protector?

while i grew a bit bored of the same jungle setting for the majority of this book and at times the story became repetitive with the character's constant push and pull, i fell in love with them. i loved both mariketa and bowen macrieve ♥ they became one of my fave couples of IAD so far and the ending was so sweet and heart-warming ugh i'm obsessed with this series! there's nothing better than a good enemies-to-lovers between enemy species

I don't think I'll ever read a Kresley Cole book I don't enjoy. I love a good romance that's well written, and those are so hard to come by anymore. After Fifty Shades, most romance authors seem to think their smut doesn't have to be well-written to sell well, and the sad truth is, it doesn't. Kresley Cole's writing is refreshing, and the best thing is, I don't have to reconstruct sentences or add in missing words while reading in order for the book to make sense!

Check out this and my other reviews at My Blog, Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest ★Book Basics★ Genre : - Paranormal Romance Series : - Fourth in the series. Love triangle? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] Cheating? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] HEA? - (view spoiler)[Yes (hide spoiler)] Would I read more by this author/or in this series? - Yes Rating - 5 stars ★Review★ Oh, Bowen MacRieve, my heart broke for him in the last book and I am glad I did not have to wait for his story. Bowen despises witches and not only that, is in mourning anew for his lost mate. Yet had an undeniable attraction to Mari, a witch so he thinks had bewitched him. Things do not get off to the best start, at all, but circumstances force them together and they have to decide if they want to give a relationship a go. Bowen makes some pretty big mistakes, hurting Mari, but I am glad he had made his decisions and was all for Mari, before a big twist. Bowen is so full of guilt over what he believes is his fault for the death of his mate. I am not generally a fan of a book where the hero has a dead love, but I loved where and how the author took the story.

Last we met Bowen MacRieve, the Lykae was having his butt kicked by Kaderin the Cold-Hearted and losing his chance to reunite with his long dead mate. We meet back up with Bowen in the midst of this story and as he is tempted by Mariketa the Awaited, a witch he wants to hate but lusts after with a desire strong enough to finally make him unfaithful to the memory of Mariah. For Mariketa, the brooding Lykae is hot as sin, but she knows she must protect herself from him, as she is prophesied to be the ultimate witch and has much she needs to learn. Only 23 and not yet ascended to her immortality, she competes for the same prize as Bowen, but finds herself trapped by him in a terrible cave. After the events of the last book unfold, Bowen returns to free Mariketa from her imprisonment and so she can end what he thinks are enchantments on him, one to stop him from being able to regenerate, the other must be a love spell. But as Bowen and Mariketa struggle to get out of the jungle, it seems she may be the reincarnation of his long dead mate. Or is she? For one who has been spurned before, by her parents and her first love, Mariketa doesn't trust that she will ever be Bowen's first choice. Watching these two find their HEA was so much fun, if a bit bananas. Still lots of limbs being ripped off, lots of lusty sexy times, and overall a super fantastic romp. I found the ending to be a bit rushed, after all the build up, but I'm now firmly entrenched in this series.
