Blurb: Bad boy Billy walks into Cameron’s yoga class and changes everything. Their one-night stand lets Cameron experience a side of himself he never gets to show, and Billy thinks the sweet, open-minded yoga teacher is the perfect man to drag him out of his funk. But it feels perfect for a reason: they’re counterparts, and their hookup makes them part of the supernatural world–where there’s a war on.
Cyril Soldati’s attempts to take over the supernatural world are getting harder for anyone to ignore, least of all Billy and Cameron. Cyril’s henchman chases them to Zephyr Ranch, but even there, trouble won’t leave them alone. Someone is trying to break down the ranch’s defenses, and Billy is named as a suspect. Cameron gets caught in the middle; as little as he wants to believe Billy is a spy, he has to wonder if Billy’s devil-may-care persona hides something darker. After all, Cameron has secrets of his own.
As safety gets harder to come by, Cameron and Billy’s love must overcome their doubts. But even that may not be enough to save everyone, not when Cyril comes knocking.

Review: Now here is a book that started out nicely and before it was over left me thinking “what is the point of this” again…
Billy and Cameron meet in a yoga class. Billy has issues and is clearly the guy that won’t even try to be polite or sugar coat anything, while Cameron is sweet and calm, always wanting to help anyone in need.
As Billy is trying to drown his bitterness in some alcohol at a bar, he notices that Cameron is there, out of all places, and one thing leads to another and our guys end up in a hot and intense one-night stand. You’d think that was it, but it’s just the beginning. Their tryst activated their bond (they are soulmates) and that bond activated their true existence. A stranger out of nowhere informs them they are part of the supernatural world and Cameron is a seer while Billy and adept that can shape shift.
So here, we have a huge chunk of information dropped like a bomb out of nowhere. Not only our pair has to reconcile with the fact that they are soulmates, but before they get to wrap their head our anything the fight begins. Trying to overcome your cynicism, trying to trust in your feelings and your counterpart, trying to believe complete stranger all the while supernatural beings are trying to chomp your head off, well it should have been fun right.
If only this plot made sense though. But it didn’t most of the time. The why’s and the how’s were never answered and while the scenes between the couple were decent enough and quite hot at times, the action was just hazy.
I was frustrated with Fitz and Eli and how their thing was left hanging. I was frustrated with R.C. and the fact that his abilities were left unexplained in addition to the fact that he only opened doors to his house and Eli’s house. I mean if he wanted to escape Cyril, why didn’t he call for help from all that extended family, or why didn’t he open a door somewhere else? And what about our guys, what sort of powers did they have?
In the end, what could have been a nice read turned to a big mess of questions in my head and I really dislike questions after I’ve read a book. It was not wholesome and it didn’t left me satisfied at all.
