Genre: Paranormal Romance
Publishing Date: October 31st, 2017
I'm a werewolf King who chose to step down out of grief for my mate.
For centuries I've been alone, choosing to live a life of modesty despite the wealth surrounding me.
I deserve to be punished.
I crave things I have no business craving.
And it is manifesting itself in a way I'm terrified I won't be able to control any longer.
Especially since she arrived.
Vampire. Orphan. Beaten beyond recognition.
My blood calls to her in a way that makes no sense.
I'm a wolf.
She's a vampire.
The two don't mate.
They barely tolerate one another.
All it takes is one slip of control on my part — one taste.
And I doom us all.
Then again, I never knew what is lurking inside has the power to balance good and evil.

Excerpt
The air around me thickened with a sweet-smelling fog. I inhaled and closed my eyes, allowing my baser instincts to take over.
“Wolf.” She whispered my name. I sniffed. The voice was not familiar. It was not my mate. It was… other.
“Wolf,” she beckoned again.
Branches crunched beneath my feet as I made my way closer to the sweet scent, closer to the warmth, closer to what I should have been running from. I was already mated. And yet — I was being pulled. Like a siren’s song. I hated sirens. Every last one of them. But only the strongest were male. This — I sniffed the air again as ecstasy took over — this was no male. This was all female. The instinct to protect kicked in, forcing a surge of adrenaline through my limbs as I staggered toward the trees. Green eyes blinked through the fog. I stilled. My breath caught. Vampire. I frowned, reaching for her.
“Kiss me, Wolf.”
Why was I tempted? Why did I want to touch this being? When every hair stood on end like she was foe not friend. When I had a mate back home that I loved more than life itself. Confusion warred with disgust, and then the vampire stood on her tiptoes and pressed her cheek against mine, the way my people greeted. But she was no wolf. Her lips grazed the outside of my ear before she bit down onto my neck… I jerked awake.
Sweat pooled the bed like I’d just taken a shower. And my mate, the one I was so convinced would be lying right next to me, was gone. She’d been gone. Over a hundred years. And every year, like clockwork, on the anniversary of her death. I saw my vampire. She bit me. And I woke up with a bruise on my neck as if it were real.
Mason! I feel like I've been waiting forever for Mason's story and it's actually only been a few days. He was the character that was always there to help the mates of his friends and it made him impossible not to love. I just knew his story was going to be amazing and couldn't wait for him to finally find some happiness again.
In Darkest Temptation Mason was almost like a completely different character. I don't mean that in a bad way and it wasn't like RVD changed his character out of nowhere, instead it was the fact that we were getting to see past the exterior that he showed to everyone in the previous books and got to see the true Mason. What wasn't different was how much I just wanted to hug him and make him feel better. His pain and inner fight that he had over finding a mate broke my heart and I needed to see him get his HEA.
Serenity was the perfect mate for him I think, even if the immortal world didn't think a Vampire and Wolf should ever be together. But there's a reason it's so good to break the rules sometimes and she and Mason proved that it doesn't always end badly. I really liked that Serenity almost took a step back and let Mason come to her and didn't force the mating too much.
I thought their relationship was the perfect mix of intriguing and sweet. And it went really well with the shocks that just kept coming in the story, it didn't get pushed to the background at all but it also didn't make the bigger story lack any of that suspense.
This series is one big recommend from me and I'm actually a little shocked that I've read all of these books together. It speaks to how much these characters enthralled me that one series kept my interest for so long and between so many books.
