Dark Master's Kiss: Vampire Masters of Italy #1: A Dark Haven Paranormal Fantasy Romance Paperback – 20 April 2021

A-maz-ing!!!. Being an avid fan of the royal dragon bind books I wasn’t sure how I would feel about Quinn’s story. Well I have to say I’m well and truly hooked. It was just as good as the original series and I can’t wait for the next instalment. I couldn’t put it down. It’s sucked me in as I became totally absorbed in the characters and story as they unfolded. Ava Ward’s story telling is amazing and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds.

Anyone who has read an Ava Ward series will know that they are entering a wonderful world: decadent and decorative, fiercely passionate and personally challenging. Dark Masters Kiss is the first in a new series so there are new, unmet, characters to get to know. Arianna Summers, Qundidc DaPointe and Luccca Bellari, together with a cast of Fae and Vampire, walk through the pages with great abandon. And with a fair amount of abondoning and reuniting too! You will reel in every page - Ava Ward’s ability to create an amazing world will entrance you.

This is not just an offshoot of the Royal Dragons series, it has its own style, well worth a read.

This book number one is very good! Kept me on my toes trying to keep up with all that was going on! I loved the characters and the story line! Wonderful!!

What the hell. Full of intrigue and suspense, twists and turns. Such a brilliant follow on from the Royal Dragon Shifters of Morocco. Totally hooked. This is a book you’ll find hard to put down.

But there's quite a bit of padding to do with magical powers rising and falling in a semi-erotic way. But there's really little of the money scene. The author continues on her love affair with the word "vicious" and could really use a thesaurus.Plus another instance of using "wreck" when "wreak" is the correct verb. And a very common irritation is the author stating that the hero's beard stubble is "soft as silk". Give me a break, stubble is stubble and it's never soft, except in romance novels.

Wow!!! What a gr8 story. I truly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading the next. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up

This is the first book of a new series by Ava Ward. I loved all of her Royal Dragon Shifters of Morocco series. She does not disappoint with the Vampire Masters of Italy. I loved Quinn, Ariana and Lucca's story. It was absolutely enthralling and a masterful work. It drew me in and took me to the Red Letter Hotel in Florence. The book was well written and the scenes vividly descriptive. I can't wait for her next book. I was given an ARC and am voluntarily reviewing it.
