Jacob by Jacquelyn Frank


This is the first book in the Nightwalkers series. I currently have the second book Gideon on my wish list at goodreads.com, so that should clue you in that this book rocks! I enjoyed the character's, the storyline started out kind of slow but once it picked up it kept my attention, the cover of the book was attractive, and I can't wait to see which direction the series takes.




Synopsis (from back of book): Since time began, there have been Nightwalkers-the races of the night who live in the shadows of the moonlight. Love with humans is absolutely forbidden, and one man makes certain to uphold this ancient law: Jacob, The Enforcer...




For 700 years, he has resisted temptation. But not tonight...


Jacob knows the excuses his people give when the madness overtakes then and they fall prey to their lust for humans. He's heard every one and still brought the trespassers to justice. Immune to forbidden desires, uncontrollable hungers, or the curse of the moon, his control is total...until the moment he sees Isabella on a shadowy New York City street. Saving her life wasn't in his plans. Nor were the overwhelming feelings she arouses in him. But the moment he holds her in his arms and feels the soft explosion of her body against his, everything changes. Their attraction is undeniable, volatile, and completely against the law. Suddenly everything Jacob has ever believed is inflamed by the heat of desire...


Bring on the night.




While writing the synopsis I was asking myself what makes this book any different from the other paranormal romance books out there? I think it is that the author kept the story simple, interesting, and didn't overwhelm the story with unnecessary gibberish. The story is to the point while still allowing some mystery. I found that aspect of the book to be the most refreshing. I recommend reading this book. Now I only help that the next book in the series is every bit as good as this one.
