Excerpt:<\/h3>\n
\u201cOh, I\u2019m so full right now, but I\u2019ll be ready to eat again in about two hours,\u201d Devin said with a chuckle.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou and me, both,\u201d Justin agreed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope you two exchanged phone numbers with all this damn talking you\u2019re doing,\u201d Sergio teased.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot yet,\u201d Devin said, \u201cbut I think we will.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sergio chuckled. \u201cAhh, I miss my woman,\u201d he said aloud to himself as he stretched his long form.<\/p>\n
\u201cI miss my man,\u201d Devin stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if he were here, you\u2019d still be missing him,\u201d Sergio said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShut up!\u201d Devin said, faking anger. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t matter, because when he is<\/i> awake there is never a dull moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEgh, that\u2019s a little too much information for my taste,\u201d Sergio said with a grimace.<\/p>\n
Xander chuckled. \u201cMy sentiments exactly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Devin asked, looking at both Xander and Sergio. \u201cI\u2019m just saying that I have a lot of fun when I\u2019m around him. We have a lot in common and I love being around him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIs that it?\u201d Sergio asked. \u201cWell, for once your mind wasn\u2019t in the proverbial gutter.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, but clearly yours was,\u201d Devin retorted.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope that this vampire doesn\u2019t go back on his word,\u201d Nagesa stated. Everyone turned, looking at him. He was normally very quiet, and spoke only when he had something to say. Whatever the case, when he did speak, it was always relevant.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe all hope that this Master vampire is an honorable one. It is true that not all vampires are honorable, as it is true with all beings. Let us hope that Darian knows his Master well,\u201d Xander said thoughtfully.<\/p>\n
Review:<\/h3>\n
The Royal Flush was the first in the Knights of Darkness Chronicles that I have had the pleasure of reading, but it most certainly won’t be the last.\u00a0 I really loved the story and the characters.\u00a0 It was quite a bit more erotic than I expected.\u00a0 I thought it would primarily be paranormal but it really mixed the erotic with the story very well.\u00a0 I loved Darian, Natasha and Xavier’s relationship.\u00a0 Only in a book like this does a relationship like that work and seem feasible for anyone.\u00a0 Well, I guess anyone who is a vampire, shape-shifter or mind reader.\u00a0 I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is open to M\/M and M\/F\/M sex in their books.\u00a0 It is very well written and highly enjoyable.\u00a0 I truly can’t wait to go back and see how they got to this point.\u00a0 I will definitely read any books in the future of this series.<\/p>\n
