- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

With a modern-day backdrop of Prague and a tad of regency-esque balls thrown in, modern female guard, Elise meets old-fashioned hunter Aleksandr at the bleak scene of a murder. Aleksandr has been a hunter of vampire hunters for over four-hundred years, but when he sees Elise for the first time, a new hunt begins for him. He will stop at nothing to win over Elise, although it seems as if she'll stop at nothing to thwart his advances. As the vampire hunter that has eluded Aleksandr for ages nears Prague, he and Elise will both determine what is worth fighting for.
Felicity Heaton knows how to write an emotionally-charged, sexy love story! Heart of Darkness is a knock-down, drag-out fight, both within the pages and on the reader's thoughts! A true romance at it's core, this novel also incorporates action, promenades, nail-biting thrills and revenge. This is a must-read for any fan of paranormal romance or vampires.

Heart of Darkness by Felicity E. Heaton
Aleksander is an honorable vampire fighting to protect his people and keep his heart from complete darkness.
In classic romance fashion Aleksander is balancing the line between good and evil when he finds Elise and sees in her a way to tip the scales. Unknowing who she finds Elise attacks and brings in this handsome strange vampire, only to find out he is a prince. Used to getting his way Aleksander is unsure how to win over Elise’s heart.
Elise fights her own battle against her heart as Aleksander threatens to steal it from her. She has experienced loss before and is unable to throw caution to the wind and take a chance on love. It is a sweet surrender when Aleksander and Elise finally come together as it is true that two are stronger than one.
Unfortunately there is a feeling of repetition as Aleksander debates his intent with Elise and how close he is to falling to the dark side. But there is also the sweet romance and redemption that does helps even that out. An enjoyable read that won’t shake up your world, but it will definitely entertain you with a great love story.
If your in the mood for a nice love story with fangs, this is it.

Enjoyable book with lots of positives to it. Good location and character descriptions, loved the relationship development between the main characters. Found the book did drag in places and repeated some of the information that Elise and Alexandr shared with each other.
