Review:

Surrender to the chase is a compelling and fast-paced read. Jumping right into the action and telling you about each character and their back story at page 1. The chemistry between the heroine and hero is hot as hell and sexy as sin. A definite must read. It's part of a series called The Under Realm Assassins, but can be read as a standalone, which is how I read it. There is no tie in to the first book or the characters, with the exception of their line of work and a brief phone conversation with Ethan and last books hero Cole.

Ethan is both a pain in the ass and a swoon worthy hero and Fraya is headstrong and exasperating… but even so, I love them! I literally could not get enough of this book or their sizzling hot chemistry. I especially liked the details put into each character’s backstory and how they seem to be connected.

My only really peeve about this read is what seems to be the norm for this genre as of late; it was a relatively fast read and not that long of a story. I was able to finish it within a few hours and jump right into another book I have scheduled for a review.

4.5 Quills

I for one am really looking forward to reading more from this author, starting with book 1 of this series, A Bewitching Christmas. I also got a massive kick outta Ethan’s ringtone seeing as how it made a debut as my ringtone many years ago when I was feeling nostalgic.

Description:

A year after the tragic death of his close friend and fellow assassin, Ethan Halstead is ready to take up his sniper rifle once more. But his first assignment is nothing he ever expected. Ethan must hunt and retrieve a beautiful, spirited, alluring werewolf.

Knowing no other way to escape an arranged marriage, Fraya flees from her pack. As she contemplates slipping across the border and heading to South America, she is captured by a dangerously seductive vampire who plans on escorting her back to her family. Even as Fraya vows to make Ethan's mission as difficult as possible, she can't resist the riotous desire he sparks within her.

But Ethan isn't the only predator that peruses Fraya. A powerful rival pack's alpha wants to make her his mate. Will Ethan be able to keep Fraya safe and return her to her pack? Or will he surrender to temptation and claim Fraya as his own?
