THE DARK ELEMENTS BY JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT

Picture
Dez wasn't just Jasmine's crush. A gargoyle Warden like Jas, he helped her come to terms with her destiny—fending off demons and maintaining the balance between good and evil. He was her everything…right until the moment he disappeared without a trace. It didn't help that Jas's father had just announced that she and Dez would one day be mated. Hard not to take that personally.

And now he's back, three years older, ten times hotter, ready to pick up exactly where they left off. But Jas isn't taking that risk again. Dez has seven days to meet all her conditions and earn back her trust. Seven days filled with terrifying danger and sweet temptation. Seven days to win her heart—or shatter it all over again...

Oh. My. Pukwudgies...

I am already in love with this book series and this is just the introductory. Bitter Sweet love is a unique phenomenal world of gargoyles and demons.

The protagonist Jasmine is torn between following her heart and listening to her mind, when the boy she loves suddenly returns unexpectedly after disappearing after three years without a word. He wants to pick things back up from where they left and claim her as his own, but she’s not exactly ready to fly off and produce little gargoyle offspring’s with him. Jasmine is unsure whether she can trust Dez again after those three years she grieved his disappearance, not knowing whether he was still alive or dead. Why did he leave her that night after her dad gave them his blessing for them to mate? What made him leave so urgently and to only now decided to reappear right back into her life like he never went away? Dez has seven days to prove himself to her and agree to her conditions, even though he already knows she plans on saying no…

I cannot wait to head on into White Hot Kiss after my first glimpses of the new world she has created. The Dark Elements is definitely a new favourite of mine.

Yeah I find that there are too many books with a female and male touching or almost kissing

Agree with that. It should have at least had gargoyles on the cover, as that would have attracted more reader

I really liked Dez and Jasmine. It's a shame you didn't really get to know them that well in White Hot Kiss and Stone Cold Touch. I guess that's why Jen released this before he series

I think it's kinda obvious she says yes... It always is. I think I'm going to check out this series. Should I read this short novella first or after I've finished TDE

I'm guessing you chose Zayne after reading the second book. Am I right? I used to be team Roth but then Zayne... yeah... I dont know even more

Yeah I did. At first I was 100% team Roth, but then after reading Stone Cold Touch.... I kept changing my mind. Hopefully after Every Last Breath is released I'll be able to choose

Such a good prequel as Jasmine's and Dez's characters weren't developed in White Hot Kiss and Stone Cold Touch

Prequel's are really great to read. They give you a sense of the style of writing and a sneak peak as to what the story will be about.

I agree, but when you read the novel you will picture the character differently, and more attractive

I loved how JLA made you fall in love with Roth in White Hot Kiss and then made you fall equally in love with Zayne in Stone Cold Touch
