Crouching Tiger, Forbidden Vampire

By: Kerrelyn Sparks

Narrated by: Enrique Morales

New York Times bestselling author Kerrelyn Sparks delivers the exciting conclusion in the Love at Stake series, where a Marine-turned-vampire finds love with the shifter princess forbidden to him.

Russell wakes from a coma to find he's become a vampire. Now he has a thirst for revenge. Determined to hunt down the master vampire who turned him, he's used to working alone - until he meets Jia. She is after the same vampire for murdering her parents and insists she can help Russell on this mission. Reluctantly, he agrees, and sets up some ground rules:

Rule #1: Their partnership is strictly business. If he holds her a little too close . . . if she looks at him with those exotic eyes . . . well, that has to stop.

Rule #2: He's in charge. Jia isn't used to taking orders and questions every move he makes. So he stops her the only way he knows how.

Rule #3: Don't fall in love. But the kiss that was supposed to quiet her awakens something else in him . . . something forbidden. Because Jia is engaged. To someone else.

Great series ending

Jia and Russel are so incredibly different from each other when you first look 👀 at them. When you really get into their characters though they have very similar pasts and painful experiences. At the ending though they put aside their mutual need for revenge and do whatever is right. The grand tiger even finds himself a mate which will cement the relationship with the other tiger 🐅 tribe. The rebelling super soldiers from hell probably even get a second chance.

Fantastic

I love this series! I’ve listened to it so many times and I wish the author would reconsider in continuing to write stories about the little ones and their lives. But anyways this book was a fantastic read and definitely recommend to listen. It was a perfect ending to a series.

First Thought when Finished: Crouching Tiger,Forbidden Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks was a beautifully written and fantastically FUN send off to a series that has made me smile many times over the last few years. Russell and Jia were another great example of love conquering all. While I was sad to see the series come to an end, I was happy with the way it wrapped up and hold out hope that some day we may see characters from this world again.

Narrated By Enrique Morales / Length: 9 hrs and 2 mins


Enrique did an EXCELLENT job with the pacing and Russell's voice. In fact, I liked the slight cowboy drawl a whole bunch. The other accents were handled with great care too. Jia's voice took a bit to get used too but once that happened I was totally on board with this audiobook. Overall a downright pretty good job!
