To prevent himself from sharing information with the enemy he performs an ancient ritual that erases his memories. When he is freed he finds that the spell has some devastating side effects. He fears that he will never regain his sanity. Only someone that truly loves Sadavis can help him. Will Esmeralda be strong enough to face his demons?

Revenge if the Court Jester is an exciting adventure into the life of a powerful vampire as he works as a Special Forces agent. Thrilling action plays out in vivid color worthy of being seen on the big screen. Readers will find themselves enthralled by the breath taking battles take place in this fast paced paranormal.

Sadavis is a colorful character with a rich history that shapes his personality. He is amazing in his strength and in his passion. It is easy to picture his strength and allure. This is a true motorcycle riding alpha male hero that will win the hearts of the readers.

Esmeralda is younger and naive compared to Sadavis but her love is true. She loves and nurtures the relationship that they share. She sticks by him when others would walk away due to hurt feelings or fear. She equals Sadavis in his passion and together they make an explosive couple. This character shows how far some are willing to go for love.

Scene after ravishing scene will thrill the reader as these two vampires put their whole selves into making love. The scenes are electrifying in their intensity. Highly creative the scenes vary but each and every one is thrilling in its passion and definitely designed to stimulate the senses.

Revenge of the Court Jester is another in the Ancient Blood series by Kate Hill. Each of these stories is fascinating but this story does very well as a stand alone. Highly creative storylines will captivate the readers. I was held spellbound from beginning to end. I can hardly wait until another book in this series is released. Readers are highly recommended to add this one to their reading list. This is a definite keeper that I plan to read again and again.
