First Thought when Finished: Dark Desires After Dusk was full of smexy with fantastic characters!
Overall Thoughts: I am really enjoying this series! I know I am late to the game and that these have sat on my kindle forever. However, I now get why people have sung the praises of the IAD series. Cade was a fantastic leading guy. He was hot, sexy, tortured, and just everything a girl could want in her HEA. However, it was Holly that really made me smile. She had spunk and was such a trooper. Plus their chemistry was off the charts. The story line was really good to. I like how all of these books weave together but each has a story that is unique to the couple. I know I am looking forward to seeing where all of this goes!
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By Robert Petkoff / Length: 10 hrs and 54 mins
Robert is quickly becoming one of my favorite male narrators. I love his voice and he delivers a story very smoothly. I totally approve!
Final Thoughts: Ready for the next one!

Kresley Cole.. Now that is an author I need to try reading sometime 🙂 Great review!! I love how you some everything up so efficiently with enough intrigue to make me want to add it to my list!
She tells good stories. They are not quite light but they aren’t super dark either. Plus Nix (side character) is worth it. I hope one day she gets a book 🙂
I wish I could listen to this kind of books, but sadly my inner twelve years old come to life during the sex scenes and I can’t stop giggling. Something a bit embarrassing, especially when I’m in public places.
True Fact: I put the speed on x3 during those scenes. I just can’t listen them for very long but don’t want to miss any narration that might be important 🙂
That’s a great idea. I never thought of doing that. 🙂
maybe this is just what I need to get out of my dystopian rut!! Thanks for sharing this! Love those abs btw 😉
These are good. I am really enjoying it plus it is an older series so probably at the library 🙂
I’ve had this series on the TBR for years now and everybody seams to love it. Will try book one soon. Loved your review and smexy is perfect.
I was late getting to it 🙂 They are super smexy!
Smexy is good, This sounds like a fun series and the characters seem to be unique. Thanks for sharing 🙂
It is a super fun series. It is an older one but it is one that I am totally enjoying 🙂
I feel so behind. I so need to start this series. I’m later to the game than you are apparently! LOL So need to read these (or listen!)
Yeah I beat one person to it! I feel like I win at life LOL 🙂 🙂 You do need to read them 🙂
Isn’t it great that you are finally getting to and enjoying these series that have been languishing in your TBR? I am experiencing the same thing and so happy that I have taken a step back and am reading more of what want.
I am super excited to be knocking stuff off the TBR. So far this year has been the most fun I have had reading in a very long time 🙂
Plus, how can you go wrong with all that title alliteration? You just can’t. I definitely enjoy this series — it’s like candy for my brain!
I know right???? I love Nix though 🙂 I am guessing she doesn’t have a book yet 🙂
I haven’t read/listened anything by Kresley Cole yet, and it seems to me like I am definitely missing out. I might start with her YA series first though, less installments to catch-up on, although I do love a good male narrator. Decisions, decisions!
I haven’t read her YA series but people love that series. Robert is often but he does a lot of series so you might get to jump on one of them!
I love this series on audio. It’s on my short list of series I will only listen to because the narration is so good.
I hope it doesn’t take long to get the rest of the “older” books on audio. I’d love to get caught up this year.
Me too! I would like to have them all so that I can go from book to book through audio. I do think between kindle/audio I have them all but would prefer audio.
Nice review Felicia, I have to admit, it has been a few years since I read this book and I can’t remember this couple at all. Time for a re-read?
When you have time you should squeeze in a reread. Time is the key there though ?
Cole as audio, eh, too hot 😉
It is a little bit smexy LOL
I’ve lost track of this series a bit Felicia, I need to get back to it! I read the first 3 in a row and then I skipped ahead to one more (I can’t remember which one), and then I got distracted by other series. Fail. Must go back to book 4 and work my way through, I agree Kresley writes really great characters:)
She writes the most fab characters. I think that is probably my favorite part. Plus, I love the characters that are coming up 🙂 I am excited to start the next one! I need to get on that!
I’m definitely going to look up the narrator! This series sounds fun and sexy so I’ll be sure to check it out next time I’m in the mood for this kind of book.
Robert is freaking amazing. I don’t know why but he can just pull of manly and yet his women are pretty good too 🙂 I would highly recommend his narration!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the series 🙂 I loved these books when I read them, and it’s been a pleasure to re-visit on audio.
I love Robert Petkoff! I think he moves these books up a notch.
This is a first read through for me. I am really enjoying the world. I know I am like forever behind LOL
I’m behind on a ton of series..LOL I have a more than a few that I need to catch up with. Elemental Assassin and Yellowrock to name a few 🙁 One of these days!
