Review
This story is ingenious and very satisfying. I enjoyed reading it a lot and would recommend to all paranormal fans. This is a must read for you. Avail and Stephanie are both great characters and their chemistry is amazing. I loved how everything plays out and a little mystery at the end made it all the more fun to read.
Even though I no longer read paranormal fiction and it isn't my preferred genre these days but C.D. Gorri is among the very few authors whose books I enjoy quite a lot and would never stop reading no matter what. Her paranormal world is absolutely amazing and since I've been reading her books from the beginning I can say that each book gets better than the previous (I don't even know how that's possible). This story is truly amazing, a fun and quick read for anyone who loves hot and steamy paranormal romance, you got to check this out.
P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book.
