Fans of paranormal or military romances.

This book was the very definition of a page-turner. It was gripping, and I couldn't put it down.

I loved Beau, who was typical of Maya Banks' heroes - a strong alpha male who wasn't afraid to love and super protective of the women whilst acknowledging they weren't weak, simple-minded females.
Ari was also typical of Maya Banks' heroines (give or take a couple) - sweet, and surprisingly strong when push came to shove.

I loved the kitchen scene. It was entirely in character for Caleb, Beau and Ari, which made it believable, and it was also a pretty epic moment in the book in terms of action and emotion.

The whole book would make an amazing movie!

There were editing errors, ranging from commas in the wrong places, to the wrong character's name being used, to continuity errors. They were distracting but not significant overall.

There were entirely too many similarities to Disney's Frozen for my liking. 'How could she simply "let it go"?'. *roll eyes* Never mind the whole 'conceal, don't feel' upbringing...

I thought it was a bit ridiculous that Beau seemed so uncertain that she returned his love at the end, when the love between them had been established pretty solidly early on. It was more of a 'would they survive to reach their happy ever after?' I thought his uncertainty was unnecessary.

Read the next book in the series!

writes powerful military romances, sometimes with a twist of the paranormal. She also writes amazing Scottish historical romances, and I recommend her to any romance author.

If swearing bothers you, you might want to avoid this. It's in character, but there's quite a bit of it.

The book was somewhat predictable, in the way that all romance novels are. You knew that Ari was going to be taken and/or give herself over to the bad guys. You knew that Beau would rescue her. But the author kept us guessing just enough that we had to keep turning the page to find out exactly how things would play out and what would happen next.
