I've never really been into novels about vampires or anything paranormal for that matter, but when I saw the chance to review Undying Destiny I decided to give it a try.  The first thing I loved was the cover.  Obviously you should never judge a book by its cover but in this case it fit perfectly with this book.This story is about Emily Ross.  She's a nurse that is looking to start over after ending a relationship with a man who abused her.  She's been broken down one to many times and vows that she will never allow another man to control or dominate her ever again.Kenric is a vampire who is three hundred years old.  He was the creation of a vampire named Marguerite who wanted him as a mate only so she could become a more powerful vampire than she already was.  Kenric hasn't loved another since Marguerite took away the one love of his life and has been alone for centuries.  He's content with his Enclave and protects the humans from the DEADs vampire that enjoy killing humans.  He never realized what he was missing from his life until his world collides with Emily's late one night.Kenric was out on patrol alone and was attacked by another vampire and left to die in the alley.  Emily was late for work late one night and took another route to get to the hospital and ended up on the same alleyway that Kenric was lying in.  She calls 911 when she discovers he's bleeding and follows to the hospital.  Right from the start Emily is entranced by Kenric and how handsome he is.  She's about to head home for the night when Kenric awakes and desperate for some blood drinks from her neck.  From that moment Kenric was attracted to Emily but vowed that he would never make her his.  He takes her home and when she awakens tries to explain everything to her and asks for her help to clear his visit to the hospital.  While Emily is reluctant to comply, she finds herself helping him and at the same time falling for him.  They both try as hard as they can to keep their distance from one another but it's more difficult than either one of them imagined.But with every story there are those who want to rip their happiness apart and in this case it's his creator who still dreams of one day making him her mate.  Unknown to him she is much closer than he thinks and will use those around him against him to draw him back to her even invading his dreams while he is sleeping.  I loved the other characters in this book and also that there was another forbidden love story in the background of this story between one of the enclave warriors and a human who lives within the enclave.  This was a great start to the series and Kenric completely changed my mind towards paranormal novels and I will be looking for more of these types of books in the future.  I absolutely loved Kenric and cannot wait to see what the other books in the series will hold.  Thank you Jessica for writing such an amazing book, 5 stars!***Copy provided by publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review***
