Elijah

Elijah by Jacquelyn Frank is the third book in her Nightwalkers series. From the back cover.~

They are called the Demons, one of the elusive Nightwalker races living in shadow and struggling for survival against their human enemies. Their proudest warrior is Elijah, a man who bends for nothing and no one...until one woman brings him to his knees...

Some feelings you just can't fight. He is known as the Warrior Captain-a master of every weapon, a fierce soldier sworn to protect his kind. Powerful, relentless, merciless, Elijah has always won every battle he's ever taken on-until now. Ambushed by necromancers, he is left for dead only to be discovered by the woman who could very well deliver the final blow...Siena, the Lycanthrope Queen.

With three centuries of warring, little more than a decade of uneasy peace has existed between the Lycanthropes and Elijah's people. Now, after a lifetime of suspicion, the warrior in Elijah is consumed with a different battle-winning Siena's heart by giving her pleasure beyond all boundaries. What starts as attraction and arousal soon burns into a passion with consequences that will echo through the ages for both their people. And as would-be enemies become inseparable lovers, another threat approaches, one with the power to destroy them all...

Elijah was another winner in the Nightwalker series. I loved watching the warrior, who had made fun of the other Demons falling in love, not only fall in love, but fall in love with the Queen of the Lycanthropes. There were undertones of the chemistry between Elijah and Siena in other books. Neither Siena or Elijah ever planned on taking a mate, but after Siena rescues Elijah, neither can fight their attraction for one another. As the Demons and the Lycanthropes band together to battle the necromancers and a Demon traitor, Elijah and Siena figure out just how much they mean to one another.

Jacquelyn Frank gives the reader another winner with Elijah. Next up is Damien, who is the Prince of the Vampires, another race of Nightwalkers.
