When most people have a bad day at work it involves losing paperwork or a stressful meeting. When a Guardian has a bad day they end up dead...or worse, they become a monster themselves. Kaden lost his fiance` when she became a werewolf several years ago. He had to put her down like the dog she was. Now he's been turned into a vampire and his Guardian girlfriend Andrea is coming for him..with a stake no doubt.There aren't supposed to be gray areas. Andrea has a feeling Kaden has changed and she's brought along just the weapons to dispatch him. One look at him confirms her worst fears but the words he speaks still sound like the man she loves. All her training says to kill him, but her heart is screaming for her to stop. Take stock of the situation. Trust. Well, trust has to be earned and Andrea isn't going to make it easy for him.I might (ok I did) have screamed when I found out Larissa was releasing this extended short that originally was in The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance. I absolutely love her Demonica series and so to have another brief look into her world made me extremely giddy.Although short, this one doesn't disappoint. Eternity Embraced is the story of Kaden and Andrea who are actually from a group of Guardians in Portland (the Demonica series takes place in NYC). I loved the snarky interactions between the characters which is typical for Larissa's work. Also typical is the appearance of some smokin hot man candy...which comes in the form of newly turned vampire Kaden. Rippling arms and bunching thighs abound! He is walking sex on a stick!Andrea is another one of the kick ass heroines in Larissa's stories. Larissa doesn't know the meaning of the term "weak female". Andrea knows what she wants and goes for it. Sure she may be a bit unsure at first but emotions win out in the end. Though scary, all supernaturals aren't evil. Kaden just needs to show her exactly how good he can really be.Eternity Embraced is a super sexy thrill ride back into the Demonica world we know and love!Nikki- Ramblings From A Chaotic Mind
