I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Broken Dawn by Dianne Duvall is the tenth book in the exciting Immortal Guardian series. A series filled with passion, action, suspense and danger. One of the good things about this series is that each installment works well as a stand-alone. Broken Dawn is no different. The world created by Duvall is one where immortal males who radiate power and intense sex appeal  find their mates in equally powerful and sexy females. No matter what stage of the series one begins the journey, expect to be enamoured by the characters and world Duvall created. 

The events in Broken Dawn picks up from where Death of Darkness ended. With the threat the Immortal Guardians faced in the previous books neutralised, hunting vampires now have their sole focus. Now while the events in the previous books took place in North Carolina,  Broken Dawn is set in Texas.

This installment introduces readers to Nick and Kayla.  Nick is a 400 year old Immortal Guardian who has a crush on his next door neigbour, Kayla. A crush he harboured ever since the divorced, single mother moved next door six years ago. However, because of the dangerous nature of his job and the need to keep his nature a secret dating her is not an option. However, when danger lurked in the shadows, threatening Kayla's life, hiding his feelings was no longer an option. With the help of his Immortal Guardian family Nick does all in his power to protect the woman he loves.

The chemistry Nick and Kayla shared was off the charts. For readers who dislike insta love love romances, this one may not ne for you. Because like most paranormal romances the relationship between the main characters developed rather quickly. Their banter had me smiling throughout the story. Nick was a swoonworthy hero and Kayla was cool as a cucumbr in the face of danger. One cannot help but admire her strength.

Although not as fast paced or action packed like the previous books, Broken Dawn was still an exciting read. The suspense thread made for some interesting moments. It highlights the reason the Immortal Guardians need to keep their abilities hidden from the human world.

Kirsten Potter continues to narrate the series and like always she does an exemplary job. Her voices are spot on, accents and all.  She portrays the characters' emotions superbly thus adding life to the story. This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
