Kresley Cole is one of those writers where I'm pretty much guaranteed to love anything she writes. Shadow's Seduction is the 2nd book in the Dacians spinoff and the 17th book in the Immortals After Dark series overall. So, it's safe to say I'm pretty invested in these characters. Shadow's Seduction also happens to be the first male/male romance in the series and I think it may be Kresley's first male/male book ever. I haven't read very many male/male romances so I was curious to see where this one would go. While this may not be my particular fantasy, it still retained all the heart, humor, and steaminess as any other male/female romance. 
 I think the thing I enjoyed the most about Shadow's Seduction was Mirceo. What an awesome romantic lead. He was quick witted and funny and yet still vulnerable at the same time. Mirceo is a vampire and a member of the Dacian royal court. He lives a pretty libertine existence and I liked seeing him really devote himself to someone. Also, he was just hilarious! I have a weakness for a funny guy and just about everything he said was a gem. Here are a few I highlighted: 
 "One more time: I don't have that ability. Fault me for being supernaturally sexy - guilty as charged - but I'm no mind controller." 
 "Fortunately for us, I am a vampire of many talents. Even nonsexual ones." 
 The vampire gave him a knowing look. "Lots of people are Mirsexual. You are not alone." 
 Our other romantic lead is Caspian who we were first introduced to in Shadow's Claim. Caspian is the self-control to Mirceo's wildness. They complement each other and I enjoyed their friendship and eventual romance. One thing that was a bit odd was that Caspian had always been straight and is not attracted to men at all. Then all of a sudden he meets Mirceo, his male mate, and is attracted to him alone and no other men. I'm pretty sure that's not exactly how sexuality works. On the other hand this is a story about a vampire and a demon getting together so reality doesn't have much of a place here! 
 There was only one thing that bothered me about Shadow's Seduction: a lack of resolution. Without too many spoilers, right at the end a character we were introduced to goes missing. Caspian and Mirceo will be going on a dangerous quest to find this person... which never occurs. I'm sure this is being saved for the next book in the Dacian's series, Shadow's Kiss. However, it was such an odd place to leave off with a major event not being resolved at all. The main focus was on the romance between Caspian and Mirceo and all of their issues were resolved. I was happy for them to have an HEA! But opening up a whole new can of worms right at the end and not making any progress in clearing it up was an odd choice for me. 
 Shadow's Seduction was actually pretty short now that I come to think about it. There was some peril and action but that wasn't the main focus. The focus was on their romance and whether or not it could possibly last. This is a bit of a departure from other works in the series as most are wrought with peril with incredibly high stakes. In Shadow's Seduction the stakes did seem to be a bit lower. However, I didn't really mind it. While it was a short read, I still loved the characters and felt for their vulnerabilities. I rooted for them and I was happy that they made it through with each other.
