When Delight unintentionally witnesses her boss being killed, she's shocked and scared. And that's before the murderers notice her standing there. Then, she's on the race of her life, trying to outrun the thugs who have a new victim: herself. Delight doesn't know how she will make it out of this situation, but she gets some unexpected help from the man of her literal dreams. Lucian Dalakis swoops in to save Delight and rid the streets of the garbage that represent the thugs.

Delight can't believe it when Lucian saves her. He is the man she has seen in her dreams over and over. He represents to her everything that is secure, happy and loving in the world, despite the aura of power and strength that clings to his well toned body. When Lucian brings Delight home, they can barely keep their hands off each other. Even though she's had a horrendous evening, being with Lucian is unlike anything she's ever felt before. He's magnificent, caring, and sets her body afire. But as morning comes, Delight is appalled with her behavior. She's never slept with a man on the spur of the moment before and added to that is the fact that her younger brother and caring friend must be worried sick about her. However, the real kicker is when she discovers that Lucian is a vampire. One minute her life is on track: work she enjoys, being with her loved ones and the next, she's on the run not only from a notorious crime lord but she's somehow become involved with a vampire. How will Lucian convince her that their coming together is meant to be and not something to be afraid of? You'll have to read to find out.

Lucian's Delight is another scintillating paranormal read from N.J. Walters. Lucian and Delight fairly light up the pages with their sexual exploits, and the fun continues when they learn to open their hearts to one another. Dalakis men love only once in their lifetime, a fact which is seen as a curse more times than not. In Lucian's case though, he feels blessed to have met Delight. She's the most important thing in his life but before he can claim her he has to learn to open his heart to her, to express his dreams and hopes. It is in these moments that N.J. Walters' tender love scenes touch the reader and really make them see that Lucian and Delight are a most charming duo. It is always interesting to see how authors treat the vampire genre, whether they live up to or exceed their predecessors and in this case, Ms. Walters most definitely exceeds expectations with her passionate tale of a lovelorn vampire finally finding Ms. Right. Buy this book today and experience the magic that is the Dalakis brothers.
