Great read!

I enjoyed this story. It is right up the alley of the sort of story I enjoy reading. Great characters with a wonderful suspenseful plot to keep you turning the pages. The chemistry and blossoming relationship between Shane and Beth was wonderful. If you like a page turner wondering what's going to happen next with some steamy love mixed in...this is your kind of story:)

I immediately loved Liza and her undeniable strength. There's nothing better than a strong female lead. She never let anyone tell her what to do and even in the midst of pain and... (can't give it away) she remained steadfast and strong. Brax was a compelling, strong male, perfect to counteract Liza. I would have loved to have it delve deeper into why their connection was so strong right away. It went from lust to love without much effort.

I did notice a few times during the narrative a mixture of tenses that made it difficult to read, but not enough to deter me from the story.

If you're looking for a great vampy/shifter story, you've come to the right place.

Very comical and easy read. I thoroughly enjoyed the cheesy pick-up lines throughout the book. Adam just was so adorable when he did that. It was a heartwarming story about two sisters making it in the world together and you had no choice but to feel for them...it was just that well-written.

The blossoming romance between Adam and Shae was beautiful, reminding me of how a real-life relationship would really work. It wasn't just a made up story with a quick falling in love, it developed slowly and naturally:)

Intriguing

This book kept my attention and surprising me a bit throughout. I'm not always a fan of first person, but this was done well. Enjoyed Nix and his slightly overbearing ways, although occasionally it was a little too much. Overall, great story and easy read!

While I enjoyed this book, especially being a billionaire style one, I felt myself getting irritated a few times while reading. I always didn't agree with the way the characters responded to a certain aspect going on in the book. Blake and Sarah had decent chemistry, but not all the time. I didn't always agree with the way Blake acted and/or responded. But despite these things, the story itself entertained me and I enjoyed the book for the most part.

A different take on vampires. It kept you enthralled and wanting to know what was going to happen next. I enjoyed the different spin on the lore of vampires. I also really liked the chemistry between Lucy and Andre. There is nothing better than two people who rub each other the wrong way to slowly falling for each other. The transition was done with a sweet finesse. If you enjoy any sort of variety dealing with vampires, you'll enjoy this book.

This was a fun and cute story. The story flowed well and at a decent pace. Annamae and Wynn, you could say, felt the sparks right away. Maybe not admitting it to themselves, but it didn't take too long for them to see what was in front of them. Wynn is an undercover cop hiding until a high profile case goes to court. The only thing I didn't like was how abruptly it ended. I expected a little more action and storyline to the cop angle. (Can't really say more without spoiling it). But overall, I enjoyed this story.

I really liked Alec. It was easy to like him right off the bat. And Jaya was a nice complement to him. I would have given this four stars, but decided on three...more like 3.5 if I could. The story kept my attention, except I hated how she was fired from her job by her father and was trying to get back into the company. I would have liked it better if she decided to start her own business, not try to get her father's attention back. Hello! He fired her! Plus, she was too nice to her sister who was going to marry her ex-fiancé. Give me a break. That's just wrong. I just didn't like some of Jaya's feelings and thoughts concerning her family. Otherwise, the story held my interest.
