Dewey Decimal Number: 813.54 EAN: 9780425219324 ISBN: 0425219321 Label: Berkley Trade Manufacturer: Berkley Trade Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 384 Publication Date: February 05, 2008 Publisher: Berkley Trade Studio: Berkley Trade Editorial Review: Product Description: Full servant. With his new title, Jacob must attend to Lady Lyssa's every need, venturing into a world of passion darker than he's ever known. As a vampire hunter he wasn't prepared to embrace a world where humans are sexual commodities, but he has adapted. Now he finds the integrity of his soul challenged as he serves his Mistress's needs as fully as he services her desires. He loves her, though other servants warn against giving her his soul. Everyone knows that Vampires have no regard for humans, so why would a Vampiress bother treating a mere sex toy with respect? But Jacob knows a human servant is far more than that. His Mistress needs a warrior, a friend and a lover. A man who will serve her in all ways, even if he has to betray the priceless treasure of her love. Related Items:      see moreAverage Rating:
 Rating:  - Hot & Sexylyssa and jacobs story continue now with trying 2 fight this illness and with the gathering coming up jacob is needed more now than ever but will they find a cure 2 lyssas illness in time Rating:  - AwedWoW! These are my first 2 books from Ms Hill. I struggled at times with the first book. It was alot darker than I imagined and abit dry. But by the end of the book I had to know how the story ends. While it didnt quite have D/s edge of the 1st, this 2nd book is breath taking! Very few authors can grab you from the inside and put you in the characters shoes and make you feel what they feel and make you care what happens to them. For 2 days I have not been able to leave Jacob and Lyssa. I was in tears at 7am this morning. I didnt feel lacking or cheated by the end of the book. The story was told and it was a wonderful ride. I'm almost afraid to read anything else by her in fear that it wont/cant be this good. Rating: - No One Can Do It Like Joey W. HillI'm not a fan of the Vampire genre at all, but when Joey W. Hill writes a book, I'll buy it. But my attitude was skeptical at best. The first book stunned me with its tender portrayal of an alpha male learning the ins and outs of being a slave within the dark, twisted world of vampires. For the love of his woman that spans centuries, he gives all of himself and, as the reader, I experience every twinge of doubt and every sting to his ego. I wondered how Ms. Hill would top the first amazing story. I should have known she would surpass anything she's done before. Not only did she give me a beautiful, bittersweet love story, but a satisfying ending I didn't see coming. I'm a die hard fan who wasn't disappointed in any way. Ms. Hill delivered a fabulous story and convinced this reader that vampires can be done well. Rating:  - Turning more stereotypicalThe two things I like most in the first book of this series were the inclusion without apology of "rough sex" or "SM-like" elements. The second was an attempt to break out of the gender and sex stereotypes most common in romance novels. Very sadly this book rapidly loses most of these two qualitites. First there is very little of the "rough stuff" left in this book. Oh, Lyssa talks about punishing Jacob and there is a hint that there might be "nastiness" at the big vampire meeting but frankly we see Jacob rarely on the receptive end of things. That leads into the other problem: women become the targets not only of almost all of the "rough stuff" but there is a great deal of language about how women naturally like to be treated not just harshly but in a debasing fashion -- at one point Jacob tells Lyssa he will mark her as his by doing a variety of sexual acts on her, not with her or for her. That was the greatest disappointment of all for me. By the end of the book, Jacob has acquired the power and Lyssa has almost lost all her authority. Oh, Jacob talks a good game about still being her servant but I think most of his actions and her reactions speak otherwise -- he sees her as a possession now or an object he wants to protect. At the rate this novel changed from the first I can't imagine that the third book will be much more than patriarchal propaganda that attempts to teach women to enjoy a second class status, pain, humiliation, and thrill at the power of men. I had such high hopes for Hill's writing to break through all those romantic BS stereotypes. I was very disappointed. Rating: - Not as good as the first. I had high hopes for this one after reading The Vampire Queen's Servant. Truth be told, it was just ok. I was extremely disappointed with the ending. |

The story is pointedly set in the late 1980s, years before the establishment of the WNBA, so Monica's prospects for pro ball lie exclusively in Europe, while Quincy steps into the pros at home. It's a pleasure to see a character as passionate and fully developed as Monica, and Lathan gives a fiery portrayal (she had never played ball before the film, but you'd never tell from her performance). Prince-Bythewood favors her struggle over Quincy's and opens our eyes to her unique challenges with a sharp, savvy contrast. Alfre Woodard costars as Monica's harping mom (always trying to get her to be more ladylike) and Dennis Haysbert is Quincy's philandering father. Hoops fan Spike Lee produced. --Sean Axmaker
