I have to admit it... I just don't get the appeal of Jeaniene Frost. I really don't. This is the second book that I have tried because I have heard so many people who like the same books I do rave about her writing, but I must say... I just don't see it. In Book Two of the Night Prince Trilogy, we are again brought to Romania and the castle of Dracula. Yes, the Dracula. The Dracul prince is Vlad the Impaler and he is in fact a vampire whose wife killed herself and who is well known in the vampire world for his "impalement habit". It's what he does to his guards as punishment since as long as it isn't a silver stake, it may hurt them, but it won't kill them. Vlad and Leila (whose nickname is Frankie because she is scarred and conducts electricity and so she...

Twice Tempted by Jeaniene Frost (Night Prince #2) March 26, 2013 Paranormal Romance Avon Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “I forgive you, but only because you said please.” Smartass I thought. Then I groaned at the instant chorus of “Please!” mixed with cries for release from Vlad’s prisoners. No wonder he got so sick of the world. “I’m only merciful to one person a day,” he threw over his shoulder. “As the saying goes, today isn’t your day and tomorrow doesn’t look good, either.” I was so happy when Jeaniene Frost announced she was doing a spin-off series featuring Vlad. Even more happy after I read book one, Once Burned and really enjoyed it. In that book we are introduced to our heroine Leila, who has the ability to shoot electricity through her right hand (comes in handy when she needs to slash a naughty vampire in half) and also,...

Twice Tempted is the second book in the Night Prince series and it is set in Jeanine Frost’s Night Huntress world. This review assumes you are familiar with the Night Huntress World and you have read the first book in the Night Prince series. You can read our review of Once Burned here. Twice Tempted picks up soon after Once Burned left off. Things between Leila and Vlad started out very intense but we didn’t get the happily ever, and “I love you” in Once Burned. Vlad is a complicated man and for all that he is completely taken with Leila, he has not professed his love for her verbally which is something Leila wants. In fact, he has been acting strangely lately and seems to be becoming more and more distant. In an awkward attempt to show her how he feels about her, he ends up humiliating Leila and...

*** This review is spoiler free. Read on with confidence! *** Vladislav Basarab is not an easy man to love nor does he love easily, a situation starkly evident in Twice Tempted. Ms. Frost takes no pity on her characters, particularly the heroines in first person point of view. That intensity, the feeling that the character just never gets a break, is what made the Night Huntress series so addicting. Well, that and the fact that Cat kicked some serious ass. The Night Huntress World books fell a little short for me, missing the mark with third person point of view and less plot insanity, and I wasn’t wowed by Leila in Once Burned. I’m not sure if it was the circus aspect or the fact that her abilities were more defensive than offensive throughout most of it, but in Twice Tempted, she really rises to the occasion. She’s stronger...

I'm 99% positive Jeaniene Frost enjoys grossing me out. From epic battles between vampires to how a ghoul is made, she seems to enjoy writing scenes that make me queasy.

All you have to do is comment below and tell us your phobia. That’s right -- I’m gathering ammunition to gross Jeaniene out.
