Paladin warrior Jarvis Donohue finds himself in the woods, alone and wounded. Having vanquished all but one escaped Other, he is on the last one’s trail. Bleeding, tired, and barely able to stand, Jarvis finds the Other he is after but to his surprise, the alien has brought friends. Gwen Mosely is on the trail of whatever it is that is making her dogs howl so loudly. Following the hounds into the woods on her property, Gwen is astonished to find a bloodied and battered unconscious man. Calling her strong younger brother to help, the two drag the hurt man to their home. There is no way Gwen is leaving the man to die because 1) it is the right thing to do and 2) the man’s wounds are miraculously healing as quickly as wounds on her brother have healed. Needing answers for that one thing alone, Gwen begins her nursing duties. Jarvis regains consciousness and realizes that he is no longer bleeding and his red-headed and enchantingly freckled nurse is a beautiful woman. As Gwen begins asking questions about her brother’s ability to heal as quickly as Jarvis, he knows he can’t give her the answers she seeks. All he can offer is the here and now that their mutual attraction demands. After all, how on Earth will Gwen still love him when she finds out the truth? DARKNESS UNKNOWN is the fifth book in Alexis Morgan’s intoxicating Paladins of Darkness series. Just when I thought the story had been told wit the release of Redeemed in Darkness, Ms. Morgan has upped the ante and penned another installment that keep me spellbound and reading for hours. Jarvis Donohue knows that at his age, being revived is getting harder and harder for his handler to accomplish. His uncanny ability to heal intrigues Gwen and Jarvis tries so very hard to not give in to temptation and fall in love. Easier said than done but I loved watching his struggle. Jarvis’ infatuation with Gwen’s freckles made me shiver more than once and long story short, he made me drool. Gwen’s loyalty to her brother is to be commended. Father, mother, sister, and caretaker all rolled into one, Gwen wanted to best for her sibling and strived to achieve that end. Her feelings for Jarvis, while heady and sensuous, are almost innocent in nature. Plain and simple, she loves him. Her qualities and outlook on life are more of a ‘small town girl’ who hasn’t been jaded by the bad things in life and that characterization is perfectly suited to the raw masculinity that is Jarvis Donohue. Gwen does not allow her feelings to cloud her judgment and that is another reason why I liked her. She was strong but still retained her femininity. Magical, mystical, and just plain mesmerizing, DARKNESS UNKNOWN is a must read! I am unable to get enough of these sexy warriors and as long as Alexis Morgan tells their stories, I will be first in line to read them! Please note that DARKNESS UNKNOWN, while a complete standalone, is part of a series and as such, I recommend reading the books in the order in which they released:
