This is not the first book by this author that I have read.
I am a fan of her earlier books. Unlike some other readers, I did not feel as
though there was nothing but sex on every page. I have no problem with that
type of book if written well, but I don’t believe that was the case with this
book. I didn’t feel it was any more or less sexual than any other paranormal
romance. I think the author is good at creating a mood in her books. In this
case, there is always the threat of danger. The threat posed by the Morphates felt
like things were on the verge of an apocalypse. The Morphates seem part
vampire/part science experiment gone wrong and the evil scientist behind it all
is Eric Paulson. After seeing how powerful Devon is physically I wondered,
along with Liam, why she felt the need to hire his firm for protection. After
finishing the book, I got the impression she hired them for a few reasons: Liam
and his humans are trained fighters and Liam has first-hand knowledge of how to
kill a Morphate; she could protect herself but wanted others to protect her
work from falling into the wrong hands; and I think, in an attempt to draw out
her assassins and determine who is behind the attacks, she counted on the
Morphates to underestimate the humans. Her strategy seemed to work since
Ambrose expressed his disdain for humans and didn’t consider them any threat,
but he was unsuccessful with his aims.
The romance itself was enjoyable. I liked the way Liam and
Devon treated each other with respect. I would be interested to see in future
books how the issue of their having differing lifespans gets resolved. I also
really enjoyed the relationship between friends and co-warriors Inez &
Kellen. It seemed like, toward the end of the story, Kellen hinted that he
might like Inez more than a friend. Overall, I liked this romance, and look
forward to reading more from this author.
