DNF at 56%. Warning: Review will contain small spoilers, but will not reveal anything apart from the introduction to the story. 
 ,,The Warlord Wants Forever" is the very short first volume in the ,,Immortals After Dark" series, and it sucks. I've heard a lot about this series before, and a lot of people I know rated this book three stars or more, but ... honestly ... there was no single thing I could at least pretend to have enjoyed about the story. Maybe it will become staggeringly fantastic during the second half, but I highly doubt this possibility and will probably definitely not return to it. 
 So, the novel went something like this during the beginning: 
 Wroth (male protagonist): ,,Haha! Your're my prisoner! I'm the one to decide which fate will be yours! But ... uh ... wait ... you're beautiful! Wow, you're so beautiful! What are you?" 
 Myst (female protagonist): ,,Oh, honey, of course I'm beautiful. But I can't tell you what I am. I'm no vampire, that's all you have to know, darling." 
 Wroth: ,,I couldn't care less. You know, I didn't sleep with any woman for hundreds of years. You're turning me on." 
 Myst: *undresses seductively* ,,Of course I'm turning you on. Because I'm destined to be your bride. There is no other woman you could ever sleep with apart from me." 
 Wroth: *dribbles of desire* ,,Then sleep with me!" 
 Myst: ,,'sorry, darling. You'll never want to sleep with anyone else again, which might not be the most pleasant feeling of all feelings because you're immortal, but ... I don't want to sleep with you." 
 Wroth: ,,Nooooo! You can't do that to me!" 
 Myst: ,,Of course I can." *vanishes for five years* 
 Wroth (five years later): ,,I've finally found you, scheming b*tch! No you'll do what I want you to do. I possess you." 
 Myst: ,,No, honey, you don't. Sorry to disappoint you. You look awesome, but I still don't want ... oh, wait, I think I do want to sleep with you after all!" 
 Wroth: ,,I knew you would. Now kneel in front of me." 
 Myst: *kneels* 
 Wroth: ,,Come!" 
 Myst: *comes* 
 That's where I stopped reading because I just couldn't care less about two one-dimensional characters who have no problem with rapey behaviour and women degrading themselves because their men want them to. And apart from that, I wasn't even able to recognize anything resembling world-building in this story. Kresley Cole simply threw vampires, valkyries and whatever-else-there-was into the story and created only small characteristics for each of them, for anything else would obviously have been too arduous. *rolling eyes* 
 Save me rolling my eyes permanently during this boring, boring story, I won't remember much about it, but one thing I will remember is that I won't recommend the series and that I will never, ever return to reading it.
