Originally published in Predatory.
In Dianne Duvall's world of Immortal Guardians, the stakes for mortals are high, but the cost—especially to the heart—might be higher. . .
It's not the first time Immortal Guardian Richart d'Alençon has saved a human life from eternal damnation. Usually, he moves on, a nameless savior like a ghost in the night. But this time he can't seem to forget the woman who rewarded him with a sensuous kiss after he rescued her from a trio of vampires. While Richart knows that loving a human can only bring trouble, the taste of forbidden lust is too great to resist. . .
Jenna never imagined she'd end up a single mom working overtime to put her son through school. But she might have daydreamed once that a devastatingly gorgeous Frenchman would sweep her off her feet. Now that a package of tall, dark, and handsome seems intent on doing just that, doctors are telling her she may not have long to live. But Richart is telling her just the opposite. All she has to do is abandon her humanity. . .
Includes a special sneak peek of Night Unbound.

This one is part of the Immortal Guardian #3.5 series. It features Richart a Guardian and Jenna a human.
The characters and concept are interesting. I was a little confused at the beginning on what the differences where between a Guardian and a Vampire, but that was answered farther along in the novella.
I did have a little issue when Richart was ambushed and ends up in Jenna’s living room. Jenna and son should have looked for a wallet on him, a phone, or some way to get ahold of his people even though they aren’t sure what he is. Also his people should have found him sooner since they have the capability to track cell phones and he has one on him.
In Still Darkness gives you action, steamy romance, and camaraderie. I’ve not tired the series out yet, but I plan to give it a try at some point. This novella was enjoyable!
Rated: 3 Stars

I haven’t tried a Diane Duvall book but I’ve seen them around a lot. Was it hard jumping into it 3 books in?
It wasn’t hard to jump in. As I pointed out I had confusion at the beginning on what the differences was between a Guardian and a Vampire, but the author did finally clarify this farther in. Other then that I liked the concept and am looking forward to trying out the series one day. I do prefer to read series and novellas in order, but that doesn’t always happen.
