(Off Goodreads)

The last thing Nicole Demakis remembers was getting in the car with Sarah's kidnapper and driving away. Now she faces the cold hard truth. The kidnapper, an agent of the Council, is her mate. But he refuses to claim her, and the Council may take everything away before she even has a chance to convince him to trust her.

Aaron Katsaros was ordered to deliver Nicole to her grandparents, the Antipas royal wolves. It should've been an easy task. Clean. No hiccups. But this infuriating woman, this wolf, his mate...is one hiccup after another and she's arousing him to the point of pain. With his sister's life hanging in the balance, he refuses to allow his passion to cost him the only family he has left. 

Can he find a way to save his mate, or will he be forced to watch another claim the woman he loves?

My Review:

Krystal Shannan does it again; a mesmerizing new Vegas Mates romance that keeps the reader on the edge of their seats.  Nicole is kidnapped by an agent of the council and to her surprise he is also her mate but he refuses to claim her and the council may take everything away before she can convince him to trust her.  With his sister’s life hanging in the balance, handing Nicole over to her grandparents should have been an easy task for Aaron but this infuriating wolf is one hiccup after another and she’s arousing him to the point of pain.

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps the adrenaline pumping with lots of suspense, drama, action and romance.   The author brings this thrilling story to live with vivid descriptions and details that capture the information and the well orchestrated action scenes are believable and make the reader feel as if they are part of the story. The tension builds as the reader awaits to discover Nicole’s fate at the twisted hands of her grandparents and the strong compelling characters are easily related to and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning.

The chemistry between Nicole and Aaron explodes from the pages and when they finally mate the sex scenes are extremely hot & steamy.  But they have a very difficult situation to overcome before they can even think about claiming each other. The author conveys the emotions that these characters go through with such vibrant intensity that the reader can’t help but get caught up in their story and ride out the emotional rollercoaster with them.

I was totally engrossed in the story from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down until I read the very last word.  I have followed this series from the beginning and each book just gets better and better.  In addition to the captivating characters already involved in this fantastic world, new intriguing characters are introduced and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

About Krystal Shannan

(Off Author’s Site)

Romance author, Krystal Shannan, lives in Texas and is married to the love-of-her-life. They have a spunky young daughter who believes in fairies and keeps them both on their toes.

Krystal professes to loving shoes, but avoids wearing them at all costs. She is a SyFy geek at heart. Anything and everything that has to do with magick, supernatural, or paranormal is her cup of tea. Which, by the way, she drinks by the gallon.

If she’s not curled up on the couch with her laptop creating sinfully delicious stories with just a splash of humor, she’s probably watching movies like Underworld, X-Men, or even Die Hard (nothing wrong with a little action, right?). She doesn’t think so.

Favorite TV shows include, but are not limited to… Lost Girl, Merlin, Warehouse 13, Castle, Rizzoli and Isles, True Blood, Vampire Diaries, and Revenge. 

She enjoys reading romance in all genres, but especially paranormal. Her favorite book is ACHERON by Sherrilyn Kenyon. But really, if it has a ‘Happily Ever After’, she’s on board!

She is an active member in her local RWA chapter DARA.
