Virtual Book Tour + Review: Dark Desires by Aja James @megami771 @RABTBookTours
Paranormal / Fantasy Romance
Date Published: April 5, 2018
“A human and a vampire. An Assassin and his target. They made an impossibility possible, despite his past, despite their present. They had the future—they had Eternity.”
Ryu Takamura is the Dark Ones’ Assassin. He has never missed his target…until now. Until her.
Ava Monroe is a talented geneticist who holds the key to the vampire race’s future…and perhaps her own as well.
Their attraction is explosive from the first. She would do anything to have him. He would sacrifice all to protect her.
But will their love triumph over seemingly impossible odds as they battle enemies new and old? Especially the demons from Ryu’s past? And deep within his heart?
My Review:
Dr. Ava Monroe is traveling to Tokyo, Japan to do research for a project that she is working on, Ava is a geneticist. She gets lucky as her traveling companion, Ryu Takamura, the dude sitting beside her is very good looking and hot. He is so hot he will make your tongue come out and slap your brains out. Ava is a very intelligent person but when it comes to hot men she ends up with diarrhea of the mouth.
Ryu Takamura is a vampire and the Dark Ones’ Assassin and guess who his next target is? Ryu is very good at what he does and never misses his target but will his heart let him take out his next target or will he try to save her? Ryu has a very good heart but the way he was raised and the things that he was taught has made him the person he is today, a killer, well, not unlike anyone else of course but can one woman change his heart and mind and show him a different way?
I loved the way Ava and Ryu interacted with each other and the roles that they played each knowing what they wanted and being strong enough to go after what they wanted but at the same time thinking about the other person instead of their selves. I loved that Ava would get so flustered when she was with Ryu that she would lose control of her mouth. I loved the scene where they were drinking tea and she thanked him for warming her up.
I love this new twist that Aja has on the vampires with the Pure Ones and the Dark Ones. I have really and truly loved all three books and if I had to pick a favorite I don’t think that I could as they have all been really and truly amazing reads with new characters that keep popping up of whose stories I can’t wait to read as well as see more of the old characters too. I can’t wait to read the next book Dark Pleasures in the Pure/Dark Ones series.
If you love vampires and hot guys then give this series a try as I don’t think you will regret it.
About the Author
Aja has been writing stories since the age of six, and novels since the age of thirteen. While she'd be the first to admit that those early efforts weren't particularly good, she sure loved putting them down on paper!
The best part of writing, according to Aja, is that it’s completely organic, the way the stories develop. When the inspiration hits, she writes just so she herself can learn where the characters are headed because oftentimes, they take her by surprise! It is her ultimate dream to share her stories with as many readers as she possibly can.
Her other loves include art, cooking, old movies (anything with Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Robert Redford, Vivien Leigh, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman, Clark Gable, and all the song and dance numbers because she can’t watch them and not be happy!)
She adores taking long walks with her husband and running after her two rambunctious kids. She has traveled extensively (all seven continents except Antarctica) and has had a multi-cultural upbringing. She speaks two and a half languages and binge watch TV shows when the mood strikes.
Aja has a Bachelor’s of Arts in Comparative Literature and Economics and two Master’s degrees, one of which is in East Asian Studies.
