The White Lily (Vampire Blood #3) by Juliette Cross
The saga continues with the school teacher (and sometime spy for the rebellion) Brennalyn. The fair lady and mother of orphans will do her duty to see justice for those she claims as her own. There is just one devastatingly irritating, yet irresistible flaw in her plan. The Duke of Winter Hill, Friedrich Volya.
The Duke is no fool. He sees the lovely raven haired beauty plotting along. Little does she know, though, he wants to help her– in more ways than she can possibly imagine. I kept a perpetual smile while reading. The White Lily is dangerously flirty fun filled with the most exquisite sexual tension. The outlying plotline took a backseat in book three to allow the coupling of Brennalyn and Friedrich to take center stage. The only “spoiler-ish” thing I am willing to say is that I am reminded of the infamous chapter 32 in the Kresley Cole IAD series. (((SO HOT)))
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, each book from Juliette Cross seems to be better than the last. She is an author on the rise and taking the PNR world by the throat with her vampire crew. Well written and perfectly executed, her books are an automatic-one-click purchase.
Nothing but five-star love!

From the cover…
To the north of the Varis empire, a mysterious faction spreads propaganda against the vampire monarchy. Friedrich Volya, the Duke of Winter Hill, seeks to discover who they are before his uncle finds them first. King Dominik will punish the traitors with brutal force.
Local schoolteacher, the raven-haired Brennalyn, is on her own mission—to spy on the duke and discover what she can for the Black Lily. She longs to help the commonwealth and bring justice to the many orphans left behind from the ravages of the blood madness, like the children she lovingly keeps in her care. What she doesn’t plan for is the heart-pounding attraction she feels for the duke, enemy to the Black Lily.
But when Brennalyn’s secret puts her life and the life of her children in danger, Friedrich steps in as her protector, she finds out there’s more to the duke than she thought.
JULIETTE is a multi-published author of paranormal and fantasy romance. She calls lush, moss-laden Louisiana home where she lives with her husband, four kids, and black lab named Kona. From the moment she read JANE EYRE as a teenager, she fell in love with the Gothic romance--brooding characters, mysterious settings, persevering heroines, and dark, sexy heroes. Even then, she not only longed to read more books set in Gothic worlds, she wanted to create her own.
