    About this audiobook

    The author of sumptuous tales of paranormal romance, Amanda Ashley pushes all the right buttons for her ever-growing readership. In Desire the Night, Kay's animal desires take physical form during each new moon, when her wolfish nature is unleashed. But that isn't Kay's only secret. In her basement, she keeps the vampire Gideon, helpless to free himself from the silver chains binding him. With every passing day, Kay senses the power within him and wonders if giving herself to the blood drinker might fulfill both their destinies.

      Book source ~ ARC. My review is voluntary and honest.Gideon is a couple of hundred years old, a vampire, and he’s being held captive in the basement of an evil witch because his blood keeps her young looking. Vain much? When she tosses Kiya “Kay” Alissano into the cell with him as his next meal, the bitch witch gets more than she bargained for. Kay is the product of a werewolf father and a human mom. While not a full-blood werewolf, she still shifts at the full moon and is wicked strong. With the full moon only a couple days away, she only needs to keep the vampire from killing her and they can both get free.I started out really loving this story. The part with just Gideon and Kay is great. The part with her dumbass father, the pack, and his dictate for her to marry his chosen one even though she can’t stand the guy is just stupid. The fact that Kay even goes back to the pack is stupid. Everything about the pack is stupid. Also, there’s marital rape. WTF This could have been so much better, but it fell apart because Kay has no spine. Ugh! I’m not interested in any more of this series because of the way this one played out.
    • 1/5
      TRIGGER WARNING: This book contains marital rape.

      This started off kind of like Companions of the Night by Vivian Vande Velde, or Sunshine by Robin McKinley - but not nearly as interesting or well-written - just clichés everywhere.
      Then it took a weird turn into Pretty woman without the whole being a prostitute thing - Gideon, the vampire, just treats Kay, the werewolf, to masseuses, manicures, shopping trips, all the while romancing her with red roses everywhere she goes. To be honest, it was just weird because there was zero chemistry between the two.
      And there was always this constant talk about money... Like, "You must be rich", "I hope you're rich", "Don't worry I'm rich" - we get it, he has money. Stop talking about how much everything costs, and the brand of every item she buys with his money. It just... cheapens everything. As if that weren't enough there's this passage:
      "Hence the dinner dates, the nights at the opera, the tour of the city, the bouquets of flowers.She let out a long shuddering sigh with the realization that it was time to pay the piper."
      UGH!

      Then he gets angry because she didn't tell him she was a virgin but decides not to leave her unsatisfied "when the damage was already done". Did you know you became damaged once you lost your virginity? I, for one, did not.

      The characters, in general, were pretty two dimensional and made decisions that rendered them too stupid to live, the story was predictable, but even so there was one problematic aspect of it that kept bothering me: the fetishization of Kay's Native American heritage. There are plenty of odd turns since the beginning, with her boss making supposedly witty remarks about her "working her Indian magic" and her best friend telling her they should go out because she's sure to like "the fire water". Now, in real life, I get you forcing yourself to shut up at the boss's stupid remark, but your best friend?! No! You make it plain that is not acceptable.Then Gideon also jokes he's "always had a thing for Indians" and instead of punching him in the dick she goes,"You're just saying that."
      LOL ARE YOU SERIOUS

      And then there was the whole domestic abuse between her parents that was sickening to the nth degree. Add to that her forced marriage to the villain and subsequent rape...Just... no.
