Dark Desires (book 3)
Captain Tannis of the starship El Cazador is part snake, part human, and--according to some--all bitch. She is one job away from her lifelong goal--to achieve the immortality she craves. The assignment: protecting the most powerful man in the Universe.
After five hundred years, Callum Meridian, founding member of the Collective, is bored out of his mind. Until he realizes he's physically changing--into what, he isn't sure. Callum is determined to discover the truth, but his own people will stop at nothing to prevent it from coming out.
With a coup brewing and the crew of El Cazador close to tossing him off the ship, Callum turns to Tannis. Sparks fly as they work together to make it out alive. But can Callum really trust the one woman hell bent on using him? Defying death has never been more dangerous, more sexy, or more fun.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Growing up in the cold, wet, north of England, Nina Croft spent a lot of time dreaming of faraway sunnier places and ponies. When she discovered both, along with a whole load of other things, could be found between the covers of a book, her life changed forever.

Later, she headed south, picked up the perfect husband along the way, and together they volunteered to work in Africa. There they discovered a love of exotic places and a dislike of 9-5 work. Afterward they spent a number of years travelling (whenever possible) intermingled with working (whenever necessary.) Eventually they stumbled upon a remote area in the mountains of southern Spain and the small almond farm they now call home.

Nina spends her days reading, writing and riding her mare, Gencianna, under the blue Spanish skies—sunshine and ponies. She reckons this is proof that dreams really can come true if you want them enough.

Nina's writing mixes romance with elements of the paranormal and science fiction

Another Great Adventure for the Crew of the El Cazador

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

I loved the first two Blood Hunter novels. They were the kind of Science Fiction Romance and Space Opera that I love. I Put Death Defying on pre-order as soon as I saw it. It appeared on my kindle several days ago and went to the top of by TBR list. I expected the same level of enjoyment I got from reading the first two books and I was not disappointed.

Death Defying did several things. The prologue goes back 15 years and tells how Rico and Tannis met. I got to catch up with the crew of El Cazador again. There was additional world building as I learned more about the Collective, the Church and the Rebels. Death Defying has one very important new main character, Callum Meridian. He was a side character in previous books but moves to center stage here. Tannis get her own chance for a HEA but not without a lot of problems.

The plot starts out simple and becomes more complex as the story progresses. Callum hires the El Cazador and its crew to take him on a journey of discovery. For Callum it is more of a journey then he expected. He starts out as an arrogant spoiled man who has to face some hard facts about the man he has become. How the mission plays out depends on how much he can change. There is danger and romance and danger again. There are some very difficult moments for the crew and just when it looks like all will be lost there is a new twist that changes the whole picture.

This is book three in the series but it does a good job standing alone. For maximum enjoyment read Break Out, book one, and Deadly Pursuit, book two first. When you finish all three there is Temporal Shift and Blood and Metal coming out in March and April of 2014.

I love this series and I would have given this book ...

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

I love this series and I would have given this book five stars EXCEPT the author kills off two fairly major secondary characters. And she does it AFTER hinting at a budding romance between them. The deaths are all off-page and told to the reader so suddenly and then glossed over, that I was left with my mouth hanging open thinking "WTF just happened?" I felt very cheated as a reader. I was invested in these characters for three books and was hoping to learn more about them as they are rather mysterious. And then she just kills them in a way that was too convenient. Felt like it was done simply to move the plot in a certain direction rather than because it made sense or worked with the story.

I stumbled across this series and immediately fell in love with Tannis, Rico and the rest of the crew. This series combines several elements pretty well. A little space western, paranormal romance. The first novel was Rico's and this one is about Tannis. I liked the paranormal aspect and the only reason I use the term space western because of the initial story and the prevalent use of the word reckon. Occasionally, it took me out of the story but it was a well written story so it wasn't a huge problem, just one of those little quirks you notice. I really enjoyed the series. This novel was no exception and I just hope the next one is coming out quickly!

The Dance of Love and Death

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

Tannis guards her heart. The pain she endured as a prisoner won't allow her to love. She escapes her prison but not her memories. Her job now, as the Captain of the El Cazador, is to protect Callum Meridian, a powerful leader. He admires and desires Tannis, but she doesn't want to risk her heart and body. The danger that surrounds them increases as do their emotions. Can Callum convince her to take a chance? Will their enemies destroy them? Nina Croft has written an exciting and emotional story. Tannis has endured so much that I wanted her to find the peace and safety she needs. Her bravery broke my heart. Callum comes alive emotionally when he falls in love with her. His tenderness and caring for Tannis brought me to tears. The secondary characters are intriguing and add to the story. I want to know more about them. The interwoven storylines merge romance, secrets and revenge. I couldn't put down Death Defying. I loved it.

HUGE Supernatural Fan of Nina Croft's Writing!!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2014

Verified Purchase

First read the Blood Hunter trilogy by Nina Croft fell in love with that series and had to read the Dark Desire trilogy with both series I fell in love with the hero and heroine of each book there was plenty of humor alpha males protecting their women and the alpha female equally intent on protecting their man, and lets not forget the steamy sex (not too much/nor to little) and the plots were not overly complex. Also, I enjoyed how Nina looped each of the main characters from each of the previous books into the next ones and kept the comradery going. I'm really hoping that Nina will write more with both the Blood Hunter and Dark Desire series ... I believe she left characters in each series to extend the series. I am a HUGE supernatural fan and believe both series are 5 star worthy.
