A commander of the Validus bloodline Winter stands sentinel to Lord Hyperion. Winter is loyal to his family, but has become attracted to a young woman named Nika. He has watched her grow from a girl to a woman and she has invaded his mind and heart. One night he hears screams, and recognizes Nika's voice. He comes upon her being attacked by werewolves. He saves her life, but is not quick enough to save her from the bite that will make her his enemy. To love Nika is forbidden and would require him to choose between duty, family, and love.The chemistry between Winter and Nika is lovely and very romantic. I admired Winter's strength which was a compliment to Nika's softness. She had noticed Winter as she was growing up and the attraction was not one sided. Although she only ever saw his eyes, she was able to read into them something that called to her heart. Lord Hyperion is also a fascinating character. He seems to have a bit of a mischievous nature. I look forward to seeing more of him in the future.Winter's Kiss is a story of forbidden love and passions, but I also found it very romantic. In my opinion, Heaton just continues to improve on the series as she goes along. Once I had this novel in my hands I could not put it down. As I have said before, getting lost in one of Heaton's fantasy worlds is always a pleasure.*Reviewed by Teresa D. for VampireRomanceBooks.com*
