Kissed by a Dark Prince (Eternal Mates Paranormal Romance Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

Felicity Heaton has created a brand new series that paranormal lovers will undoubtedly love. The world which she creates in Kissed by a Dark Prince is beautifully vivid, so much so that it was easy to visual and believe in the world she created.

Felicity Heaton's flawless narrative was a pleasure to read. Her craft is polished and visually highly developed. Her characters, Olivia and Loren were equally well-developed characters, with a range of personality traits and relationship developments that made following their story easy.

The plot was hot, fast-paced and filled with unbelievable action. This is definitely a new series that I can readily become hooked on.

Disclosure: This ebook was provided by the author in exchange for an honest and not necessarily positive review.

Fans of Felicity Heaton will be glad to know "she has done it again". Book number one, "Kissed by a Dark Prince" is a wonderful tale which twists what we think we know about paranormal into a whole new and exciting series. Ms. Heaton has a delightful way of spinning a story in such a way that you want more after the last page has been turned.
As with all good stories, the characters are flawed, but not so much so that they can't be redeemed. The plot/story line keeps the reader riveted to the book. To say this is a `Page turner" is a gross understatement. There are adventures, pit-falls, dangers, rivalries, I could go on, but I don't like to spoil a reader. I also don't like to send readers into a book with preconceived expectations.
However, if you are the type of reader who has to know the story before you turn the first page, then this is for you: You are about to be introduced to a whole new set of characters which are unlike those you have read about in the past. You are meeting characters whose very being will be molded into the story.
This is not your "mama's" book with Elven Princes, Vampires, humans and best friends.
To see for yourself, just jump right in. The "water" is fine and is this book.
I recommend it whole-heartedly.
A definite read and re-read. A keeper for sure.
I can't wait for the next one in the series.

KISSED BY A DARK PRINCE is the introductory storyline in Felicity Heaton’s new paranormal romance Eternal Mate Series focusing on the supernatural world of the Fae, Elves, Demons and much more. This is Olivia and Loren’s storyline-Loren is the Elven Prince and Olivia is his human bond mate.

The storyline focuses on the growing relationship between Loren and Olivia and Loren’s need to bring his brother to justice. Injured and needing blood due to a battle with his evil brother, Loren will find himself in the human research centre known as Archangel where Cait’s blood will call to his inner soul. Taking Cait’s blood will begin the bonding process and what ensues is Loren’s need to claim the human woman as his own.

The relationship between Loren and Cait is interesting in that Loren is beyond possessive and jealous of any male who even remotely looks interested or twice at Cait. This is a side effect of the bonding process and one that is not desirous from Cait’s perspective. She is still recovering from a past haunted by the supernatural and the Elven Prince’s actions are similar in many ways.

There is also a parallel storyline involving Loren’s brother Vail who has promised retribution for the attack against his bond mate and Loren is the primary target. As the storyline develops we learn that there is much more to Vail’s sadistic attacks and maddening attempts at Loren’s life. At each encounter Vail proves to be more deadlier but something or someone is holding him back.

Because Kissed by a Dark Prince is the first in the series, there is plenty of background information as it pertains to the Elven history and the mate bonding process. We learn a little bit about several of the supernatural species that will play a role in future storylines as well as the introduction of several secondary characters including the next storyline hero-a demon king who believes he has found his mate but there is another male vying for the female’s affections.

Kissed by a Dark Prince and the Eternal Mate series is pulled from the imaginative mind of an author who has the ability to draw the reader into the world of the paranormal with colorful characters, alpha males and strong female heroines. Felicity Heaton introduces the reader to a wonderful and frightening world where the supernatural cross over into the human realm and anything and anyone is fare game.

This is the first book I've read from this author and I must admit I've been wanting to start this series for a while, but I'm usually not one for witches and elves etc in my paranormal preferences.... BUT I really enjoyed this one!!
The author has built an intriguing world that sucked me right in, yes it had the insta-love thing happening (more so on the male's behalf), but that was kind of expected as they are Eternal Mates!!
It was a refreshing change to have the H not be an a$$hole to the h and actually treat her with a bit of respect, too many I've read lately have such abusive lead men buts its "OK" as he is explained as "alpha". In my books alpha does not mean a$$hole!
Thank you Felicity Heaton for a honourable alpha, Loren was to die for and his black armour was super sexy!!!! Not having a scientific mind I found it hard to relate to Olivia wanting to experiment on everyone, so she got a little annoying with that but otherwise a great character.
Really awesome world building and secondary characters that sucked me in and left me wanting more.
Really looking forward to the rest of the series!
