Kissed
by a Dark Prince and the Eternal Mates series is set in the same world
as the Vampire Erotic Theatre series, so if you’re a fan of that series,
you will love Eternal Mates. Throughout this series, you’ll have a
chance to catch up with the cast of the Vampire Erotic Theatre series
and learn more about their world.
Here’s more about Kissed by a Dark Prince, including an excerpt from this paranormal romance novel.
Kissed by a Dark Prince (Eternal Mates Romance Series Book 1) Felicity Heaton
Olivia thinks it’s her lucky night when a dangerously handsome
unconscious fae ends up on her inspection table. He’s her chance to
redeem herself with her employer, the demon-hunting organisation,
Archangel. But when the tall, dark and deadly immortal warrior awakes,
she gets much more than she bargained for…
Attacked by his enemy
in the elf kingdom, the last thing Prince Loren expects when he comes
around is a beautiful angel watching over him and medical technology of
the mortal realm. Hazy from his injuries, all he can focus on is the
pulse ticking in her throat and the sweet allure of her blood.
One
single bite reveals she is his eternal mate, triggering a bond between
them that will leave him weakened until it is completed… or broken, and
pulling Olivia into the crossfire of his ancient feud.
To protect
his people and his mate from the machinations of a madman, Loren must
risk everything by working with Olivia at Archangel to find a way to
break the bond blossoming between them.
But will Loren be strong
enough to place duty before desire and give up the one thing he has
waited millennia for and craves above all others—his eternal mate? And
will Olivia be able to resist the incredible heat that burns between
them and the temptation of her dark prince’s kiss?
Kissed
by a Dark Prince is available from Amazon Kindle, Kobo Books, Barnes
and Noble Nook, Apple iBooks stores and other retailers. Also available
in paperback. Find the links to your preferred retailer at: http://www.felicityheaton.co.uk/kbadp
Kissed by a Dark Prince – Excerpt
The
prince dismissed the male again. This time, he obeyed and left. Olivia
waited until he had closed the wooden door before she moved her
attention back to the prince and relaxed a fraction. The man in the room
with her had bitten and kidnapped her, but had said he wouldn’t hurt
her. If she had to choose between him and the one he had called Bleu,
who had looked at her as if she were a pest to be eradicated, she would
choose her blood-drinking captor over the homicidal maniac.
“Continue,”
he said and she half expected him to use that regal wave on her. If he
tried it, she might be inclined to relocate his testicles after all. She
might be human, but she wasn’t going to let anyone order her around,
not even a powerful immortal prince. She had enough of that from her
superiors.
“What condition did you find me in?”
“You’d
taken one hell of a beating... don’t you remember fighting?” she said
and he shook his head and sat on the edge of his bed. Rumpled purple
covers. Barely dressed male. She could do the math. He had woken and
come to take her shortly afterwards, because he couldn’t recall the
fight and how he had ended up at Archangel. He looked like the sort of
man who liked to be in control and hated weakness, and not remembering
the events that had seen him dumped unconscious at a demon-hunting
organisation were probably driving him mad. “It must have been epic.”
The light in his eyes faded and he looked off to his right, staring at the foot of the row of wardrobes.
“My
battles with this particular enemy always are.” Something drifted in
his rich purple eyes, a shadow of remorse that left her feeling he would
rather not fight this enemy.He cursed again, pushed to his feet and paced, taking long agitated strides up and down the room.
Olivia leaned back against the wall and studied him in silence, giving him time to think and beginning to relax.
He
was beautiful, his tall lean figure shifting sensually with each
stride, working his muscles like a symphony. Every so often, the
markings she had followed with her fingers would flash into existence
and he would growl, seemingly irritated by them, and glare at her, as if
she were to blame.
Olivia lost track of time,
her fear melting away and her guard dropping with it. What was he
thinking? He looked melancholy at times, pained, but angry at others.
Feelings flitted across his handsome face, rapidly changing his
expression, drawing her to him all the more.
He
seemed sad for some reason, a terrible sorrow that shone in his eyes,
fathomless and painful. Mixed in with that sadness was a sense of
lethalness though, the danger she had originally felt in his presence, a
feeling he exuded like an aura. It should have warned her away from
him. Instead, she found herself moving away from the wall and towards
him, lured by an inexplicable need to comfort him and ease the pain she
swore she could feel in him.
“Are you okay?”
He
stopped dead and looked across at her, his expression open and blank,
as though her question had caught him off guard. His look hardened again
a second later and he pivoted on his heel and crossed the room to her.
He halted inches from her, towering over her, making her feel nervous
and unsure of herself. The longer he stood there studying her with those
intense purple eyes without saying anything, the more on edge she felt,
until her insides had twisted into tight knots and she couldn’t bear it
anymore.
“Have you finished questioning me now?” she blurted out.
He nodded.
“I can go home?”
“I
am sorry but I cannot allow that to happen.” He looked beyond her left
shoulder, towards the blue curtains and the doors. “My enemy has made
you a target, a well played move on his part and one I did not predict
or even consider.”
Her anger came back to a
rolling boil and she opened her mouth to give him hell, but he stole her
voice. His eyes came back to meet hers and he lifted his hand, slowly
reached towards her and brushed aside the collar of her white coat. He
caressed the marks on the left side of her throat, sending a hot achy
shiver through her.
“I have made you a target.” Those words sent a different sort of shiver through her. This one not at all pleasant.
She
raised her hand to touch her throat and ended up covering his hand
instead. His skin was cool beneath hers. His nostrils flared, his eyes
brightened and the pointed tips of his ears extended and sharpened. He
bared his fangs at her and shifted back, pulling his hand away from her
touch.
Olivia’s heart leaped into overdrive, thundering against her ribs, and her hand shook, fear freezing her feet in place.
The prince looked ill but, at the same time, there was an unmistakable spark of desire in his eyes.
It
might have flattered her if she hadn’t been clinging to what he had
said, repeating it in her head and growing increasingly angry with each
cycle. She was a target for a maniac who had beaten this immortal male
close to death?
“What the hell is going on
here?” she snapped and advanced on him, surprised when he actually
retreated, as if he feared her. No way a powerful male like him would
fear a little woman like her. He hadn’t liked it when she had touched
him. He had reacted strongly to it. Maybe he feared she would touch him
again if he let her get close enough. She wanted to touch him alright.
She wanted to crack his nose with her fist. “I want to know what’s
happening because I have the feeling my life is on the line and I didn’t
sign up for this shit. You bit me... I damned well didn’t ask you to
violate me... and I want to know how your abuse of my body and my rights
has made me a target.”
The prince held his
hands up and she halted, breathing hard to settle her volatile feelings.
Getting angry with him probably wouldn’t solve anything. If she was in
danger, she was probably going to need his help. He had dragged her into
this. He could damn well get her out of it unscathed.
“The
reason your comrades found me so close to your facility is because my
enemy left me there... it is a twisted game... he could have killed me
but I would not have suffered.” He sounded too damn calm and he looked
it too.
Olivia couldn’t see how he could be so
relaxed about all of this. Some psychopath had beaten him close to death
and dropped him on her doorstep, and it was all a game? That wasn’t a
game. That was sick.
“And he wants you to
suffer... why?” She couldn’t hold the angry note from her voice. He had
wanted answers and had brought her here. Well, now she wanted some damn
answers of her own.
“It is not for you to know,” he said quietly.
It damned well was. “Why did he dump you with us? Did he think Archangel would torture you?”
He shook his head, the solemn look returning to his eyes. “No. He knew you would torture me.”
Olivia
frowned. “I don’t get it. What do you mean? I said did he think we
would torture you and you said no, and then you said he knew we would...
that doesn’t make sense. I warn you, I am liable to relocate your
testicles if I don’t start getting some straight answers.”
He took a step back. “It was a straight answer. Not we... you... he knew you would torture me.”
“Me?”
Her eyes shot wide and indignation joined the ranks of her feelings.
“I’m a doctor. I know I work for a demon-hunting group, but that doesn’t
mean I would torture one.”
He glanced down at
his boots and then back at her, his expression troubled. He growled,
exposing his fangs, and shoved his fingers through his black hair.
“He
knew what you were when he dropped me there and he knew what I would
do,” he barked the words at her, his expression wild and desperate, the
look of a man firmly on the edge. He stepped towards her and reached for
her, and then let his hands fall to his sides and cursed.
“What...
bite me?” She touched the marks on her neck, feeling the pronounced
bumps where his fangs had punctured her. What had he done by biting her?
The
prince closed the distance between them and she tipped her head back,
holding his gaze. He frowned and she gasped as his fingers settled
against her jaw. He slid his hand along it to cup her cheek, his eyes
locked on hers, drawing her into their purple depths until she felt
lost.
“Bind you to me.”

MY REVIEW 'Kissed by a Dark Prince'
is the first book in a new series from Felicity Heaton. I have been
(not so) patiently waiting for this book since Felicity first mentioned
her ideas for the series some time ago.
Set in London around the
same time as the VET books, the Eternal Mates series introduces another
world to explore and is full of new and interesting paranormal species -
this delights me as PNR is my favourite genre!
The heroine,
Olivia, is a female scientist who works with a demon hunting
organisation called 'Archangel' - there she studies paranormal specimens
to identify & discover more about them.
Loren, our Hero is an elf prince who mysteriously turns up literally on the doorstep of the building Olivia works in.
Waking up in a strange place, injured and out of sorts Loren needs
blood to help him heal. Disoriented and with the allure of her blood too
much to resist, Loren bites Olivia and a mating bond between the 2 of
them starts to form.
We soon discover there are unknown, darker
forces at work and Olivia & Loren meeting is more than just a
coincidence........
As ever, Felicity brings us an action packed,
fast paced story with a deliciously hot hero, a feisty heroine, mystery,
some twists & turns, a bit of humour and a healthy dose of heat
& passion.
Throughout the story we are introduced to Sable, a
demon hunter who works with Olivia, and Bleu who is Loren's best friend
& right hand man - I <3 Bleu and can't wait to read more about
him....
There's a few other characters involved in Loren & Olivia's story new & old (see if you can spot a surprise appearance by someone from VET!! - can't wait to see who else pops up in future books!)
;-) but rather than tell you about them all I'm gonna leave you to
meet them yourself - I'm really looking forward to catching up with them
all in their own stories!!
I am a huge fan of Felicity's work and
have loved all that I've read. Kissed by a Dark Prince is a definite 5*
hit for me and I'm sure the rest of The Eternal Mates series is gonna
be just as fantastic!!!
Fans of Felicity's books will love this
new world - and if you haven't yet read anything by Felicity, grab
yourself a copy of 'Kissed' and see what you've been missing!!!
**I received an ARC copy from the author in return for an honest review**
