'Falling Prey to Passion
FBI agent Diana Reyes knew too much about the darkness of the human soul. She had spiraled into that underworld once before--and vowed never to fall again. Until she met him.
Powerful, dangerous and the key to catching a psychotic killer, Ryder Latimer was everything she couldn't have--and everything she wanted. He haunted her nights, shattered her reserve and made her feel...more than she ever had before.
But once she learned his secret, would his sensual promises of eternal love be enough to garner her forgiveness? For Ryder was more than a lover of the night...he was a vampire.'

Rocking good Vampire story. Caridad Pineiro penned Darkness Calls, a modern day vampire tale, that is so enjoyable! She has a refreshing natural voice that lends well to her tale of a female agent on the track of a serial killer. Believe it, I
will be watching for more from this talent writer.
FBI Agent Diana Reyes, had always been trouble with night terrors, but hidden it well from her family growing, hid it from her partner. She is a tough as nails, by the book agent, determined to stop a killer viciously killing women who frequented a club called The Lair. But she is not prepared for meeting Ryder Latimer, the owner of the nightclub, when she offers herself up for bait in the FBI investigation.
Their paths cross on her very first night as bait, sensing the man even before she comes face to face with him. Knowing he might be a suspect, she tries to keep her instant attraction hidden. But Ryder won't let her back away from it. For too long, Ryder
has seen her in his dreams. He yearns to grow closer to Diana, the woman who has haunted him for years, but fears an FBI agent will not quite be so accepting of his "little secret". He is a vampire. However, as Diana begins to share his dreams, there may be no hiding his secret from her. Together Ryder and Diana must stop the killer close to Ryder, and must learn to trust each other, come what may.
Pineiro delivers up a good tale with a touch of humor, strong characters and a well developed plot guaranteed to please all readers, but especially vamp fans.

Diana Reyes is an FBI agent in search of a sadistic killer who brutally tortures his victims before dumping their bodies. While staking out a club in search for the killer, Diana sees club owner Ryder Latimer, an enigmatic man with whom she instantly shares chemistry. Diana's not looking for a relationship though - not only is Ryder initially considered to be a suspect in the murders, but Diana refuses to get too close to any man. After losing her father in a drive-by shooting as a teen, Diana knows the pain of losing someone you love more than life, and she reasons that if she stays away from emotional attachments, she'll avoid the pain that inevitably comes with them.
Ryder Latimer had seen her in his dreams, and there she was right before him. She is forbidden, though - she is a living, breathing woman, and he is a vampire. After being attacked by a roving band of vampires during the Civil War, Ryder has been one of them, and he knows that involving himself with a mortal woman could unleash his darkest impulses. Still, Diana is too desirable to dismiss from his thoughts, but if she learns the truth about him, will she hate him?
This book was pretty good, and unusual because of the vampire element. The tension between the two main characters was incredible, as they both fought against their desire for the other. I also enjoyed the fact that the heroine was a latina like myself. The only thing I didn't get with the book was the ending, it seemed a bit too abrupt and left me wondering exactly what had happened. I can't describe it in detail or I'd give away the ending, but I was left a bit confused.
I would like to see another story that includes Diana and Ryder as secondary characters someday in the future. Perhaps some of the secondary characters in this book could have their own story. Altogether, this book was definitely interesting and unique, and I look forward to reading more stories from this author.

Normally I don't read vampire stories, but I decided to give this book a try and I'm glad I did. Everything about this book was excellent---all the life-like characters, a 'gutsy' heroine and a 'tortured' hero, a realistic suspense plot that did not overwelm the rest of the book and a very passionate, heartwarming 'forbidden love'story. Sometime in the future it would be great to meet up again the Diane and Ryder to see how they're doing. I will definitely read another book by this author.
