Starved for blood, vampire, Nicholai Peterhof is greatly relieved when two tourists decide to grace his restaurant, but one sip from the pretty brunette and his world is forever turned upside down. Juliette Staint-John is everything he could have asked for in a heartmate; pretty, smart, built with curves in all the right places…and totally unavailable.

Juliette doesn’t want anything to do with the handsome, young-looking Nicholai. As if their differences aren’t enough, the acute grief over the loss of loved ones keeps her heart guarded. He may be her fantasy, but that’s all he can ever be.

To get past Juliette’s defenses and in order to keep her safe, Nicholai must prove himself worthy of her love and trust. Unbeknownst to the couple, her personal demons are not the only ones threatening their relationship. Hiding virtually unseen by the vampires, Demon Royalty plots to destroy not only the couple but the entire vampire breed. Luckily, Nicholai will do anything for Juliette—even if it means sacrificing himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sizzling Continuation of a Compelling Series
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2016

It's Russian vampire Nicholai's lucky day. The last thing he expects when he imbibes of the blood of tourist Juliette is to find his heartmate. Yet there she is, and his desire for her and his protective instincts are both instantly inflamed. Only one problem: Juliette is human. And the last thing she expects (or can believe) is that a man as handsome and charming as Nicholai would be interested in her. Nicholai has his hands full convincing his mate as to his sincerity. And that's not even getting into his supernatural nature! Add some desperate and vindictive demons into this mix who have it out for his new-found love, and what you have is a sizzling hot love story with some surprising twists and turns.

What I found refreshing about this story is that the heroine is not the usual young woman with the perfect figure and flawless everything. She's older and has--perish the thought--curves! She also has a meddling best friend and some serious emotional scars, which make her feel entirely real. I also enjoyed all the details about Russia. The settings come alive with vivid details.

This book can be read by itself, but characters that appeared in previous books in the series put in appearances and, presumably, characters that will figure into future books are introduced.

If you like hot romance and conflict with a touch of paranormal, you will enjoy this book.
As in the previous two books in the Alpha Council Chronicles series, the author continues to paint word pictures that bring paranormal characters to life, making vampires seem human, even likeable. The characters display all human emotions, including love, passion, lust, jealousy, anger, and patience. Nicholai Peterhof has waited for centuries to find his heartmate. Once he meets his Julia, the scenes heat up as he pursues the one person who perfectly completes him. One of my favorite word pictures is “The sound of Julie’s laughter raced down Nicholai’s spine, leaving tiny footprints of happiness in its wake.” I can see happiness ripple through tall, muscular, handsome Nicholai at the sound of Julie’s laughter. No sooner had I adjusted to the possibility that vampires frequent the night, when Ms. Sparks introduced another breed of paranormal – demons – who are trying to capture vampires for medical experimentation and elimination. Now members of the Alfa Council, who specialize in policing rogue vampires, have to go on the defense to protect themselves and their heartmates from this hidden threat. If you want to know more, you will have to read it for yourself.

I am on the third book on this series and so far, I have enjoyed reading them. The only gripe I really have is the overly frequent use of some of her descriptive words, like wanton and fisted (okay, get your mind out of the gutter? That is not how the word is used). The stories are good. There is an erotic element If you are into that. I like how all of the stories are tying together but using different Alphas and their mates as the main characters in each narrative.

I have read the first two books in the series. Brenda Sparks is a very talented author who brings to life vampires in this fantastic series. If you like hot vampire romance you will enjoy this book.
There are two previous books in the Alpha Council Chronicles, but this book can be read alone or you can start at the beginning and read book one. Either way you wont be disappointed. Nicholai has waited for centuries to find the woman of his heart, Julia, once they are together on the pages, the scenes heat up scorch the pages.

I enjoyed this book. It's and excellent addition to the series. If you haven't read book one you might want to start there and read all three. I promise you wont be disappointed!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dangerously sexy read!
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2017

I so loved Alpha Mine, I couldn’t wait to read the next book. This series is wonderful and so sinfully sexy, you won’t want to miss a single one!

I’ve always loved, and of course believed in, the idea of soul mates, and the author’s concept of “heartmates” is similar, with the exception that, if lost, a vampire will most likely go insane. We saw this in the very first book, and it continues to be a very serious point in each book. The sweet love story fulfilled my every romantic whim, and the steamy hot sex scenes (there are plenty!) with the studly Alpha, are engaging. There’s also a realistic villain, which the author brings to life with a skillful vividness, to add plenty of suspense and danger. Fantastic read!
