Linda Howard and vampires. I don’t know if I can think of a better combination. If you’ve never read any of Linda Howard’s novels (I’ve read most of them) prepare to get hooked and start stalking used bookstores for her out of print titles (I’ve done that too). I can’t wait to read this new one myself which means my review will be up soon. Thanks to the fine folks at Random House, one of you will get a shiny new copy of her latest book, BLOOD BORN, which she co-wrote with Linda Jones (she’s a new author to me).

One copy of BLOOD BORN by Linda Howard & Linda Jones
Book Description
When the human and the vampire worlds collide, there will be hell to pay.
Luca Ambrus is a rare breed: vampire from birth, begotten by vampire parents, blood born. He is also an agent of the Council—the centuries-old cabal that governs vampirekind, preserving their secrecy and destroying those who betray them.
When a cryptic summons leads him to the scene of the brutal killing of a powerful Council member, Luca begins the hunt for an assassin among his own people. But instead of a lone killer he discovers a sinister conspiracy of rogue vampires bent on subjugating the mortal world.
All that stands in their way are the conduits, humans able to channel spirit warriors into the physical world to protect mankind. Chloe Fallon is a conduit—and a target of the vampire assassin who’s killing them. When Luca saves her life, an irresistible bond of trust—along with more passionate feelings—is forged between them. As more victims fall, Chloe and Luca have only each other to depend on to save the world from the reign of monsters—and salvage their own future together.

ReplyDeleteI would want Eric from Truw Blood to protect me. Or vice versa ;)
ReplyDeleteI won't mind Bones from Jeanine Frost series protecting me.
ReplyDeleteThis morning, I'd have to pick one of the Black Dagger Brotherhood (either V or Butch), with Jean-Claude as my alternate. 8-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a tough one but I would choose Jacob from Joey W. Hill's vampire series.
ReplyDeleteThat's easy . . . Spike!! He'd be a great protector, funny and hella sexy!
ReplyDeleteStefan from the Mercy Thompson series please!
ReplyDeleteZsadist from The Black Dagger Brotherhood.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny you ask because I actually answered this question in a review I did. I'd want Cade from Blood Oath! But if I was choosing for capable and totally hot I'd pick Bones (Night Huntress series).
ReplyDeleteGabriel from Molly Harper's Nice Girls series.
ReplyDeleteJR Ward's Zsadist. :)
ReplyDeleteTough question! Recently, I've been falling in love with Eric from the Sookie Stackhouse novels. He's a really old vampire, so he's strong and would be a great protector. He's also sarcastic and funny, which are always nice qualities in a vampire. :)

Tough question. But I really think I would have to go with Eric from the Sookie Stackhouse series.
ReplyDeleteI will go with a Joey W Hill vampire too and pick Devlin from A Vampire's Claim. Devlin is smart, sexy, strong, has a sense of humor and a very sexy Aussie accent!
ReplyDeleteWow this book looks good!
ReplyDeleteEric from the SVM! But I'm just starting the BDB so maybe that will change in the next few weeks...
Tara SG (contact@taraSG.com)
I'd pick Angel from the Buffy / Angel series to protect me. He was always so dedicated to protecting the vulnerable, I think he'd be great.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I cannot choose Edward. Is he famous?
ReplyDeleteI woukd choose Acheron, but he is a god. Hmmm... I know! The sexy one from Moonlight!
I would love Bones and Cat to protect me! They kick butt!
ReplyDeleteI love to have Bones or Zarak from the dark hunters to protect me. the are two sexy vamps.
ReplyDeletescrtsbpal at yahoo dot com
O thats an easy one hands down Eric Northman from "The Sookie Stackhouse Series" and "TruBlood". Do I even need to explain no.....but I will. He is sooo darn fine and sexy. Plus he originally was a viking warrior so he can protect me anytime he wants. And have you seen his butt on the Tv show Im just saying... muscles everywhere!!!
ReplyDeleteHot87Tamale(at)aol(dot)com
I'd have to go with Bones. He's so very protective of Cat. If he were mine, he'd never let anyone get near me.
ReplyDeleteI would want Wrath from the Black Dagger Brotherhood series to protect me.
ReplyDeletecindyc725 at gmail dot com
I would want Kyrian or Talon (from Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series) protecting me! I was going to say LeStat or Louis but they were a little less than dependable! LOL

i'd be torn between bones from jeanie frost's series and mircea from karen chance's world of cassie palmer. tough call!
ReplyDeletek_sunshine1977@yahoo.com
Eric from the Southern Vampire series. Especially as he's evolved and gotten more approachable in later books. I wouldn't say, "No thanks" to any of the vamps in the Kerrelyn Sparks series either.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't need a vampire but I'm entering for my wife. She says Dante from <span>When Darkness Comes, Guardians of Eternity, Book 1 was one of her favorites.</span>

ReplyDeleteI'd want Jack McShane from the Savannah Vampire series by Raven Hart.
ReplyDeletecheleooc at yahoo dot com
I am going to say Bones! He is just an amazing strategist and he gets the job done! It would be helpful if I was related to Cat cause then he would really be motivated to protect me :)

ReplyDeleteI wasn't able to log in from google.

I would have to say that Angel would be the vampire that I would want to protect me.
ReplyDeleteI have to say Eric from Sookie's world. But if Kisten was not a dead undead he would probably be the one.
ReplyDeleteNo contest. I'd pick Zsadist from Black Dagger Brotherhood. He'd take care of my and sing to me when the nightmares get to be too much. He'd be my guardian angel in black leathers. 8-)
ReplyDeleteThere's too many! I think I want... Murdoch from Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series... no... NO I want Layel from The Vampire's Bride by Gena Showalter.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I want him to protect me :)

This is one TOUGH question, but I have to go with either Bones for the Night Huntress series, or Zsadist from Black Dagger Brotherhood! 8-)

ReplyDeletePlus he's got mucho backup.
maria63303@gmail.com
It would have to be either Dimitri from the Vampire Academy series (woof!) or Edward from Twilight...both are the epitome (IMO) of hottie vampires who'll do anything to protect those they love!
ReplyDeleteAny of JR Ward's Brotherhood vamps do it for me!
