Until Alex’s past catches up to him and threatens to destroy his precious secretive world with Elizabeth and loyalty to her and her adorable seven-year-old daughter.
Will Alex obey his allegiant commander and submit to a woman he hates, or fight?
Never force a vampire to mate…
Uncaged Review: I haven’t read a good vampire romance in some time, and this is a nice start to a new series. It did start a little slow for me, and that could have been from the switching point of views from chapter to chapter. I think it might have made it easier if it was made clear in the beginning of the chapter whose point of view we were reading from. I like reading from both characters, but it can be confusing when you have to read a couple lines from the first paragraph or two to find out who you are dealing with. I did get used to it quickly enough and the book ramped up quite a bit after about 25% in and then this book turns into that “hard to put down” category.
I liked the chemistry of Alex and Elizabeth and there is enough suspense to keep you flipping the pages. This is a steamy romance with a fresh take on this genre and I even enjoyed some of the secondary characters that I hope will be in the future installments. Reviewed by Cyrene
