If there was ever any doubt that Jacquelyn Frank would deliver a heady tale of earthly pleasures and mystical beings, let it be dispelled. Jacob was a delicious new story, with strong, sexy characters, all part of another species called Demons. These Nightwalkers, beings that dwell in the darkness, are strong and elemental, possessing powers and eternally long lives.

They are closely rooted with the powers of Nature, and the moon can be as deadly as it is beautiful to them, driving them to the brink of madness with lust and desire. It’s very heady stuff. However, because they are powerful beings and sworn to protect humankind, the seduction of humans for their pleasure is taboo and punishable by the Enforcer.

Jacob has been the Enforcer for his kind for the last 400 years. His calling requires a strong will and steadfast resistance to the drives that other demons are subjected to on the two moon holidays (I imagine they are like the solstices that the pagans celebrated–but for the moon and not the sun). All his experience keeping the laws did not prepare him for his encounter with a librarian named Isabella. She is not at all what she seems, though even she is not aware of the dark power that is inside her, dormant, waiting for the right catalyst–the right time to emerge.

The OG cover -remember Zebra books? 😐

Isabella is drawn to Jacob in a way that she cannot fathom at first, but doesn’t question. When sudden danger nears, there is no turning back. When Jacob is forced to bring her into his home, and into his hidden culture. You can feel their attraction as it pounds on the pages, and when they come together, it is an act so forbidden that it forces the Demon King to intervene, lest Jacob break the very rules he has sworn to protect.

They are like magnets that keep coming back together, no matter how far apart they try to keep away from each other. But Isabella is changing the more time they spend together, and Jacob is growing more attached; his cold detachment, his lonely existence, cries out to her like a siren song!

Jacob is an elemental demon, controlling the powers of Earth. He has dominion over the ground, the rules of physics, and gravity. But when Jacob and Isabella submit to the passion that is building between them, he cannot maintain the hold he has had on his powers, and the world literally rocks with the climax! It gives a whole new meaning to the Richter scale… and I don’t think I would mind a romp that would literally shake the ground. But their cataclysmic joining only draws the attention of an enemy long forgotten: the Necromancers.

So now the Necromancers have begun preying on the Demons, trapping them like caged animals with their summoning incantations and threatening to turn protectors into destroyers of mankind. Jacob and Isabella have to solve the mystery of their attraction and find answers fast to this growing dilemma. The story is fast-paced, and their encounters are HOT!! The bar is set high now for these Nightwalkers with this explosive first book.

On to the next…
