 Thane has suffered in his past, it damaged him in ways that only pain can help with. He has a reputation in the bedroom but you only get one time with him and then he is done. He is second in command to the Sent Ones, a brutal fighter, and protector. Thane does not think he will ever be able to love anyone besides his closest friends who along with Thane know what happened to him to make him damaged. He never expected to want someone like Elin, but this little human has brought the tough warrior to his knees. 
 Elin is a half breed. She has her own past that has damaged her and made her at times scared of fighting and blood, but especially death. She has her own secrets. Her attraction to Thane is a double edged sword. She doesn't want him to replace the one she has loved and lost but with Thane determined to keep her safe and the attraction they can't fight, this may be one battle that she will not want to lose. She needs to be able to trust that Thane will be able to love her for who and what she is and she needs to get Thane to trust her as well. 
 I loved watching Thane and Elin's relationship come together. Thane and Elin both have trust issues, both have their own personal demons that get in the way of their relationship, and they both have the ability to heal the other. Elin is hilarious once she comes into her own. Thane is deeper than I ever thought he would be. I loved how much Thane would do whatever it took to make Elin happy, there is one scene that I won't give specifics on but I thought to myself yep this big bad warrior is whipped and not afraid for anyone to know it either. 
 Burning Dawn is the third book in Gena Showalter's Angels of the Dark series and for me it is my absolute favorite of the series so far. I knew that I wanted Thane's book since the beginning of this series but wasn't sure that his story needed to be told just yet, well I will admit when I am wrong because I couldn't put Burning Dawn down. I am anxiously awaiting the rest of this series because I am hooked. Gena Showalter got me addicted with her Lord's of the Underworld series and she has made my addiction worse with her Angels of the Dark series and I for one am loving this addiction.
