A DARK KISS OF RAPTURE is a stand-alone prequel to THE RENEGADE ANGELS series. You don't need to read it to enjoy the full-length books.

Of all the Fallen, Raze’s hungers are some of the darkest and most insatiable. His brazen seductions cost him his wings, leaving him soulless and immortal, the most dangerous of seducers. He has roamed the earth for eons, hunting the rogues of his kind and protecting the humans who provide him with blood and sex. He is content with his life and the transient pleasures that flow through it... until one night and one woman change everything.
Kimberly McAdams is smart, beautiful, and wealthy. She can have any man she wants, but the moment she sets eyes on the lethally stunning Raze she knows he’s the man she needs. As one searingly erotic night burns into something deeper and far more vital than either of them expected, an adversary from Raze’s past sees a chance for revenge. Twisted by hatred, she will take from Raze what was taken from her—the precious gift of love.


THE RENEGADE ANGELS  trilogy is a dark and sexy paranormal romance series that debuted in October 2011. The trilogy chronicles the power struggles among angels, lycans, and vampires as they vie for supremacy. The first book, A TOUCH OF CRIMSON, tells the story of Adrian, leader of the angels. The second book, A HUNGER SO WILD, tells the story of Elijah, leader of the lycans. The third book, A TASTE OF SEDUCTION, tells the story of Syre, leader of the vampires.

This was free on Kindle and after reading BARED TO YOU I wanted to read another tale by Sylvia Day to see more of her writing style. I really enjoyed the love story part of the book, and I also enjoyed the world Sylvia was building after a bit. At first I was confused by the new names and relationships.

This is a quick novella, so unless there is going to be a paranormal destiny reason later in the series, I did feel the mutual attraction to emotional attachment was a bit sudden or ungrounded. But within a short story Sylvia did manage to get a lot of character development in, and relayed the world-rules information skillfully. There's also a fair bit of suspense.
If you want to read some of Sylvia's work this is a good starter at a great price and as a prequel should be a great intro to the series. I like these freebies because they give you that idea of whether you're going to enjoy the writer's work and I can tell you about this freebie. After all, the book might be free but your time probably is at a premium.  The intimate scenes in BARED TO YOU are more graphic than in DARK KISS OF RAPTURE but it is still steamy.

Do you like these KINDLE freebies? If you don't have an e-reader do they just tick you off?
