Larem had gone without for a long time. I think he would have been a tad bit more aggressive and enthusiastic. I still love the series, but I hope DJ's book picks up some of the missing heat.

Larem was an interesting hero. He hadn't come to this world by choice, but he was trying to make it work. Sasha was trying to get ahead in her career and she wanted to do it by helping the Paladins, not controlling them. They fell for each other hard and fast, but were both afraid of how their budding relationship could possibly progress with so many differences and obstacles. But when push came to shove, they were both willing to take the chance. Once he gave in to his I really liked this book. Once he gave in to his feelings, Larem was very protective and loving, as all good heroes should be!
He may have been prejudiced at first, but that was mostly ignorance. These books are good, quick reads for me. I also liked getting to see lots of characters from the previous books. Oct 05, valee rated it liked it Shelves: This was a great read.

I loved to read from an "Other's" POV again. I will always prefer the paranormal aspect of the series, so when one of the Kalith is involve I enjoy the books much more. While I had a great time with it, I still thought something was missing. I mean, I loved many things about it, but I know that a month from now I won't remember a thing about it. I guess it just wasn't one of those books which made a huge impression on me.
I did enjoyed it big time, don't get me wrong. I ju This was a great read. I just wasn't crazy about it. I think my main problem was that I prefer the alpha type of hero and this guy was just a bit soft. Still I love this series and can't wait to read more books in it.

I love how the author can keep us glued to the pages with this storyline. It just keeps evolving without becoming uninteresting or repetitive. And it isn't just about the romance. There is a strong paranormal aspect to this book, and as with the others, it is packed with action and suspense. In this instalment Larmen finally gets to find peace in the human realm. Having been forced across the barrier, he was finding it harder to adjust than his fellow Kalithi Another great read from this series. Having been forced across the barrier, he was finding it harder to adjust than his fellow Kalithians.
He was met with hostility and discrimination from the guards, and even some of the Paladins. Yet he kept his head held high and fought with everything he was. I really like this character. I also have a soft spot for his woman. Head strong and stubborn, Sasha just seemed the perfect match for Larem. Their relationship had its ups and downs, but in the end true love won out, and they got a special kind of HEA. This was a poor almost mind numbing installment. Sasha was bland when she was not antagonistic, demeaning , or self absorbed.
Why Larem gave her the time of day is beyond me. I found their interactions full of tension Larem was always apologizing in order to resolve the problem or Sasha walked away. Chance was a far better companion- he should have stuck with the dog. I made it to the end and w This was a poor almost mind numbing installment. I made it to the end and when Sasha tells Larem she loves him it was just too difficult to believe.
I hope we do not hear from this character again even if she gets the Regent job Aug 26, Melissa rated it really liked it. Enjoyable continuation of the Paladin series. Loved learning more about Lareum's healing abilities. Apr 22, Wenj rated it really liked it Shelves: It's safe to say that Alexis Morgan can included one more among her fan base! After reading the latest novel in her Paladins of Darkness series, the seventh installment titled Bound by Darkness , I am undeniably hooked.
This action packed paranormal romance has a little bit of everything --especially if you love interesting immortal warriors who are sexy as all get out! The world building was definitely one of the many things that initially struck me about this novel. In the Paladins, Morgan has created not only a complex structure of warriors and an interesting and somewhat mysterious enemy, she's also created a series of worlds that are intricate and complex in nature.
From betrayals to out right prejudices, there is nothing simple about it. Of course, if you've read the previous novels that you have a better understanding of how the world works, but if you come in fresh like me, then it takes a little bit to place all the different layers of control humans have placed over the Paladins and all the different temperments of the Paladins themselves to essentially having a traitor in the midst, again and again. The characters were likewise intricate and complex, but what I think I loved the most was the dynamic the ensemble of characters as a whole.
All of the warriors are so interesting with great personalities and their interactions between one another was just plain refreshing. I loved the bond between them, how they would stand up for Larem, a Kalith and Paladin enemy. But, because he had proved himself, there was such an easy acceptance between him and his friends as if they'd forgotten almost completely about his heritage.
When Sasha is sent in to wrest back control of the Paladins for the Regents, a group that oversaw the group of immortals, things become extremely tense as the question lingers what the Regents will demand of the Paladins to do their friend. Naturally, they could care less because they would fight and die again and again to protect him, yet another thing that I dearly loved!
However, while the group dynamic is indeed important, it is the individuals that make it so.
And the individuals that this novel focuses on, Larem and Sasha, are wonderfully portrayed with great strength, resilience and above all they're just plain likable. Larem, having suffered for a long while about the loss of his life back in Kalithia is struggling to find his place in the Human world. Yet, despite his displeasure at being stranded in a world in which he doesn't belong, he doesn't brood and rage, instead, he is determined to carve out his own niche and not rely on the kindness and whims of others.
Sasha is likewise tough and determined and certainly a mirror to Larem in all but species. Occasionally, she can be a little annoying throughout the story, but otherwise, Morgan did a phenomenal job of bringing these 'people' to life. But, since this is a paranormal romance I suppose I should focus a bit on that, and wow! So much there to explore, but I just can't because I don't want to spoil anyone. Let it be said though that Alexis Morgan knows romance! There's so much wonderful tension and build up between these two great characters with chemistry that was simply smoldering.
You can't help but be drawn in to their inner struggle to understand their feelings that complex and wide ranging consequences of giving in to their desires. Naturally, the consequences don't exactly seem to cover all of their bases and I was a little surprised by the results, though I really shouldn't have been. Over all though I really enjoyed the never ending resistance between these two, finding myself hooked no matter how irritated I got by their idiocy.
I think this also had a lot to do with the fast pace of the story. It seemed to fly by with what seemed like minutes turning in to hours only to stare in wonder as I devoured the final page. But, a lot of this also must be attributed to the wonderful writing style that was fluid, utilizing great action, mystery, suspense, and of course romance.
While the mystery was a little bit of a dud I knew the conclusion nearly from the moment that events were set in to play the over all appeal was what kept me interested. I loved seeing the varying twists and turns that the assassination plots and sabotage caused pushing the characters in to making decisions that were always something of a surprise making them seem all the more organic for them. In the end, if you haven't read the Paladins of Darkness series, be sure to add it to your wish lists!
I can't believe I've been missing out on it for this long! It's a great read, with some truly endearing characters that you will love to visit again and again. Mar 17, Danielle Thomas rated it really liked it Shelves: Feb 27, Mrs Wilson rated it it was amazing Shelves: Bound by Darkness No Spoilers Yet another fantastic instalment in the series from Alexis Morgan, I have just finished reading it and certainly wasn't disappointed!
This is the seventh book in the series and features Sasha a Regent's daughter and Larem a Kalith warrior otherwise referred to as an other. For anyone who hasn't read the series so far then I will try to quickly explain what the series is about before I delve into the book some more. I would also recommend reading the seri Paladins: I would also recommend reading the series from the beginning otherwise some of the story probably won't make sense.
The Paladins are not only warriors but warriors who can come back to life from fatal wounds, however they can only come back so many times before the madness envelops them and they ultimately have to be killed permanently. The series is based in Seattle with the Paladin contingent based there, where in the tunnels below the three peaks of Mount Rainier, Mount Adams and St Helens there is a barrier between our world and the Others Kalithia.
The Paladins job is to stop the Others Kalith from crossing over that barrier into our world when the barrier fails due to earthquakes as for the Others to attempt to cross over means that they have already gone crazy with the madness that is destroying their people. In Kalithia there is no light like in our world and they are surrounded in darkness apart from the light they make from the crystals in their world. The majority of the Kalith succumb to a sort of madness from the dark that has them trying to enter our world of light when the barrier fails even though they know that they are either going to be killed by the Paladins waiting for them to try to cross over or be thrown back into their world when the barrier is down again.
The whole other world and Paladins are kept secret from the rest of humanity and the world has no idea of the battles that take place regularly. Larem is a Kalith who has been living in our world since crossing over the barrier with Lusahn see the book Redeemed in Darkness for her story and along with Lusahn's brother Barak and her 'adopted' children Shiri and Bavi is one of only five Kalith living in our world. Larem is different to the others as where they were happy to come and live on our world Larem had no choice and still misses Kalithia.
Larem is charged by the other Kalith with getting close to the new administrator Sasha in the hopes that before she discovers who he is that she will have built up a different view of him and hopefully change her preconceived ideas about the Kalith. Sasha as a Regent's daughter has come to Seattle to try and put right all the wrongs her predecessor had done and try to forge a bit of trust between the Paladin warriors and Regents again, she also dreams of being made Regent in charge of the Seattle Paladins. Sasha has no idea that Larem is Kalith when she meets him and they both find themselves inextricably drawn together even once Sasha finds out that Larem is in fact Kalith.
Although a lot of the Seattle group have accepted the new Kalith into their midst there are still some in particular a group of guards who do not approve so when they see their new administrator getting overly friendly with an 'Other' they are not happy and set about correcting the situation.
Can Larem and Sasha conquer each others doubts for their relationship and will that relationship end in one or both of them being hurt or worse? I have got to say that Larem's story is now by far my favourite of the series so far. When his character first appeared in one of the earlier books I didn't really like him but that has all changed with this book! I love the way he is quietly strong, not cocky and that he doesn't really feel part of our world until he meets Sasha even though he has a strong group of friends around him.
I also liked Sasha's character in that she is a very strong female lead who knows exactly what she wants but is willing to look past her preconceived ideas about people to the person inside. The series just keeps getting better and I can't wait for the next instalment which will be DJ's story. Paladins of Darkness 7 Everything changed for the Kalithia warrior, Larem, when he was forced across the barrier and into the human world.
Larem never wanted to leave his home but now his own people see him as a traitor and he's only accepted by some of the Paladins while the rest want to kill him. When the Regents send a new representative to investigate what's going on in Seattle, Larem knows he needs to keep a low profile.
But Sasha is nothing like he expected and now he finds himself Series: But Sasha is nothing like he expected and now he finds himself getting to know her while hiding who he really is. Bound by Darkness was another interesting addition to the Paladin series and now that the corrupt Seattle Regent is gone, the Paladins are hoping things can change for the better. I loved Sasha's dedication to the Paladins and her determination to find ways to protect them.
Most of the Regents have been older men who have become jaded by their distance from the actual fighting, but Sasha wants to see things up close, to understand what the Paladins are going through. Her tenacity earns her a lot of respect among the Paladins but siding with their desires also sets her at odds with the Guards who were loyal to the old Regent. In the earlier books I didn't really like Larem because he's pretty judgmental and while his anger over being forced out of his world is justified, it's also a bit off-putting.
But as he's spent more time in the human world and been welcome by some of the Paladins and their mates he's lost a lot of his anger. Larem is immediately intrigued by Sasha but he's also sure she'll hate him once she realizes what he is, so he tries to stay away. Sasha too is trying to keep her distance because she knows that becoming the assigned Seattle Regent means she can't become personally involved with the men she supposed to be protecting.
While Larem and Sasha had a lot of chemistry they also have a lot of push and pull that got to be a bit tiring after a while. Jan 28, Stephanie G rated it really liked it Shelves: The former Regent of Seattle was crooked and misused his power for financial gain at the cost of innocent life. Sasha is sent to the city to investigate and figure out exactly what happened. Her father is a Regent and she looks at going to Seattle as an opportunity to get out of his shadow and earn her own recognition. I found Sasha to be a really good heroine because she is surrounded by very dominate men and she doesn't let any of them intimidate her or command her to do what they want all whi The former Regent of Seattle was crooked and misused his power for financial gain at the cost of innocent life.
I found Sasha to be a really good heroine because she is surrounded by very dominate men and she doesn't let any of them intimidate her or command her to do what they want all while not abusing her position just to show she's the boss. She has a witty mind and she knows how to use it to get the job done while still being liked by those around her. Sasha also intends to find out if the rumors that the Northwest Paladins offered aid to enemy Kaliths, people from an alternate world who's barrier the Paladin's patrol. Her preconceived opinions are proven wrong once she meets Larem.
He's intelligent, handsome and radiates a power that Sasha is instantly drawn to. I too fell for Larem. When we first met him earlier in the series he comes off as being nothing but bitter for having to live in our world after being branded a traitor in his. In Bound By Darkness, we get to know the compassionate warrior he is. Larem teaches Sasha, and a few other of the Paladins, that he is nothing like the crazed Others Kaliths that fight the Paladins that come through the barrier. A lot stands in the way of them being together, including themselves at times, and rooted for them every step of the way.
Not all the Paladins or those working with them approve of Larem and the other Kaliths being in our world. The developing relationship between Larem and Sasha fuels an already existing hate and enemies begin scheming to remove their unwanted visitors permanently. All of my favorite Paladins appear in Bound By Darkness to lend support, and a bit of comedy, to their friend and comrade. The support the Paladins showed Larem was touching without crossing the line of being cheesy.
Violence, drama and discrimination was lightened by romance and comedy in Alexis Morgan's latest chapter of her Paladins series. At times it was predictable but I was still entertained through out the entire book.

Fans of the series will find this installment hard to put down. Nov 19, Emily rated it really liked it. First, I will start out by saying that I've loved the previous books in the Paladin series. They've been suspenseful and well put together. Alexis Morgan is a very talented writer. Unfortunately, this one fell a bit flat for me.
It seemed to me that Sasha was like a little girl playing pretend when it came to her job. She never really did anything consequential to the story. There were two times when she played the "I'm your boss" card, but they were weak and ineffectual. Without giving any spoilers, I will say that the ball was really dropped when it came to the main antagonist.
There was hardly a mention of the secret antagonist, so when it came to the inevitable unveiling of the mastermind, it was completely anticlimactic. It really ruined the effect for me. Larem didn't really have an actual job. I get that he was finding his purpose and his place in the new world, but I was disappointed that in the end, he still hadn't found his niche among the Paladins. I just didn't really feel like I was in this book like the others.
It's like with the others, I was in a story, but with this one, I was reading a book. I still love the series and Alexis Morgan's writing, so I will definitely be reading the next in the series. Apr 24, Cherry Mischievous rated it really liked it Shelves: I read this book right after Deafeat The Darkness so there is continuity in the reading process. So this book started off alright. Then it became slower as I progressed. That has to be strange! Like, I expected to finish this book within a few days, a week the most. But it's been like, what, a month? I have to give the pace a lower rating than the other Paladin books with that.
The book is not bad, it's just not a quick read for me. Or it could be that my reading experience has been I read this book right after Deafeat The Darkness so there is continuity in the reading process. Or it could be that my reading experience has been affected by my having the flu. That flu was one heck of a virulent one.
It knocked me down flat for two weeks!! Having said that, the pace still felt a bit slower compared to the other books in the series though. However I still like the story telling quality of this author and will continue to read other work by Alexis Morgan.
Like the way she tells a story! A lovely enough read that I would give it a 4 out of 5. But this being book 7 in the series, I would suggest that you read the previous books first before reading this one because it will give you a better understanding and greater appreciation of characters and events. Jan 29, Theresa rated it it was amazing. The Seattle Paladins are getting a new Regent overseer and are not happy. Laren in particular is worried about his status as a Kalithian refugee. I love the dog: You can tell a lot about people on how animals react to them.
