Blurb: Carter Herrington has never needed anyone or anything until he met his mate. Now all the things Carter thought he never wanted are suffocating him so badly he doesn’t know what to do. But he does know one thing. Living without Abner White isn’t possible.

Falling in love and living happily ever after was what Abner envisioned when he found his mate, but what he got was one disappointment after another. Sure Carter is everything he’s ever dreamed of, funny, witty, and the sexiest man he’s ever seen, but he can’t forgive Carter’s callous behavior. But the more time he spends with Carter, the harder it’s becoming to deny the man he can’t help but fall in love with.

When the council of paranormal beings calls seeking Carter’s help, he returns with Abner by his side. Just as their relationship starts to blossom, a hidden evil threatens to blow their newfound happiness right off the map.

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order.
This book was not really the same as the others. There was no instant love in this mating. There was a lot of hurt feeling really in the first half of it. Carter’s hurtful and cold words to Abner when they first met has caused a ripple effect in their mating. Now Abner is the cold and hurtful one.

So for the first half of the book I was leaning toward pissed off at both Carter and Abner. Instead of talking the two of them just kept hurting each other. Both in the way they talked and the type of sex they had.

I think the second half of the book was much better. More is discovered about the “coming”. The intrigue is getting deeper also as those inside the council turn to the dark and try to destroy those that make the rules.

Once Carter and Abner get their shit together things are definitely better. The sex improves and they are actually talking and learning about each other. But yeah the first part of the book left me very unsatisfied.

This book just left me feeling a little blah. The writing was good, things moved at a good pace. But the beginning just kind of ruined it for me even when things improved between Carter and Abner.

Blurb: Nothing but pain and death follows in a witch’s path. That was what Elias Neman had always believed, that is until he meets his fated mate, a mate who is the son of the most hated man in the paranormal world, and a witch.

Abel Brossard is absolutely clueless when it comes to being a witch and learning to control his power to freeze things is only made more complicated when he meets Elias. He’s finding it hard to deny his attraction to the warrior, but Elias’s constant bad mouthing his father leaves Abel questioning everything he thought he knew about the father who abandoned him.

Abel needs to find out the truth, is his father the monster everyone claims him to be or is there more to the story? There’s only one way to find out and Abel hopes he hasn’t just led him and Elias into a trap.

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order.

This book had a lot going on. Not only the mating of Abel and Elias, but it also revealed a new secret about the war between the light and dark. Things that were thought true are proven to be lies.

I enjoyed the mating of Elias and Abel. Both are easily likeable characters. Abel may be older than Elias but he is next to innocent about the ways of sex. Abel is so shy and skittish that the things he feels for Elias scare him at first. Elias needs to be patient and go slowly with Abel.

The funniest thing about the whole book is really that when Abel gets scared or nervous he accidentally uses his gift. So things get frozen, including his mate Elias. Total laugh out loud moments for some of those scenes, at least for me.

I really liked this book. Yes there were a few editing errors, but I overlooked them since I enjoyed the story so much. There was nice tender feeling for this one. Abel is just simply adorable to me. Elias was really the right match for him. Plus the sex was damn hot.

This was a great addition to the series.

Blurb: Fear is a constant in Toby Watkins life and leaving the safety of the warrior’s compound holds no appeal for him. Evil lurks at every corner and Toby’s proven right once again that he’s not safe anywhere.

When Damon Thorn left Toby seven years ago it was with the best intentions. He needed to fix himself before he could be a worthy mate to Toby but his plan backfires. He never took in account his need to be with his mate and now after searching for the past six years he finds Toby but it’s at the worst possible time in his mate’s life.

With the Warriors of the Dark searching for him, Toby has no option but to trust Damon because the alternative means living a life held as a prisoner by the very men who tried to destroy him seven years ago. It’s time to risk it all or stand to face an eternity alone in the darkness.

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order.
Damon and Toby met at very bad times in their lives. It was not the right time for either of them to be able to mate. So Damon left for the best of both of them. Only problem is when he came back the Warriors of Light had moved and were living under a cloaking spell. Flash forward six years and they have found each other once more.

Damn, these two have a hard time catching a break. Some seriously sick secrets are discovered concerning both Damon and Toby. These two have been very hurt in the past. But together they are able to be strong and help heal one another.

I liked both Damon and Toby. They are so strong to have survived the lives they had and come out still sane and good. Damon for all rights should have been a dark warrior, but he never let the evil take root. Toby experienced something no person should be put through, but he still found the strength to continue on.

This two are so damn sweet and so damn sexy together. I have been looking forward to their story since they were first introduced in the series. When they finally have sex it’s hot but also loving. Really it is the first time for both of them and they totally blew it out of the park.

These dark baddies are seriously messed up and very sick people. I love it when they get their asses kicked. Plus I cannot wait to see what some of the new characters are going to get up to. As in all, this book reveals several new things, while leaving several questions, still unanswered.

This was a really great addition to the series.
