PRUF Reads Review: Surrender to the Chase

Surrender to the Chase (Under Realms Assassins #2) has received 4 of 5 Stars from 

PRUF Reads. 

Review:

"Little wolf," he rasped. "Never run from one such as me." ~Ethan

"Surrender to the Chase was a nice little 'happy dance' kind of read for me. Too often, it feels authors get fixated on a specific word count and as a result, the story itself gets buried in all the padding. Trim. the. fat. as Ms. Greene has done so well. I can only speak for myself but I have a hectic schedule, (on a good day!) and so my reading time is precious.
This is a quick start type of story, it hits the ground running. It's been a year since Ethan's friend, fellow assassin, was killed. His first job since the tragedy is a bit of a head scratcher. He's an assassin, not a babysitter. He doesn't have the time nor the patience to chase after some shifter princess runaway. I was sold on Ethan right out the gate. The vampire has a chip on his shoulder but harbors a lot of pain. Ms. Greene provides just enough inner monologue to allow you to get to know him without it going on and on to where you feel like he's always in his head and never shuts up. On a shallow note, a vamp named Ethan, for whatever reason, totally and completely works for me [...] This brings me to two other characters that I can't wait to learn more about. Jaxon and Lance appear just briefly but I cannot wait for each of their books. PLEASE let them both have their own book! The Under Realm Assassins series is definitely one I'll keep an eye on, can't wait for book 3!"


Book Description:

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.

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?

When her life is in danger from a former foe he will do anything to protect her, even if it means letting her go.

Hot sexy paranormal romance I highly recommend it."

May 26th

~Ethan laced one arm beneath her lower back, supporting her as bent down to claim her lips. Their kiss was wild, each fighting for dominance and loving it. She gasped with each strong thrust of his rigid cock. He whispered her name, and he moved his lips down her neck. Fraya tilted her head revealing her pulse. His kisses halted, but his hips didn’t stop. Thank God, she thought.

“Ask,” she rasped, her voice hoarse.

His fangs lengthened, his eyes flashing with wicked delight.

“Ask if you can bite me?”

“Bold,” he groaned, running his razor like tips over her throat.

Fraya smiled. That’s right. She’d flipped the script. He was having his way with her, claiming her body, heart, her soul. And she would have her way him, too.

“Would you like me to bite you?”

Gripping his hair, she snarled and pulled his head back. “Ask me.”

~ Fraya wriggled up the table and moved to sit up, but Ethan pressed her to her back.

“Trying to escape again?” he asked, with a sinful smile.

The Darkest Passion is the fifth book within the Lords of the Underworld series and to sum it up with one word - compelling. This is far my favorite book within the series.

The Book

Highlander Untamed (MacLeods of Sky Trilogy #1) by Monica McCarty

Goodreads

Description:
Rory MacLeod is a bold and powerful Highland Chief with only one allegiance—to his clan. He vows revenge against the rival MacDonald clan, though duty demands a handfast marriage to Isabel MacDonald—a bride he does not want and has no intention of keeping. But Rory couldn't have anticipated the captivating woman who challenges his steely control, and unleashes the untamed passion simmering beneath his fierce exterior.
Blessed with incomparable beauty, Isabel MacDonald is prepared to use every means possible—including seduction—to uncover her husband's most guarded secrets. Instead Rory awakens Isabel's deepest desires and her sweetest fantasies. Now Isabel has found the happiness she's always dreamed of with the very man she must betray, and discovers that passion can be far more dangerous than revenge.

Review of A Touch of Darkness

A Touch of Darkness (Darkness Chosen #2)
by Christina Dodd

Amazon       B&N

3 of 5 Stars

Description:

Handsome, powerful Rurik Wilder holds the power to transform himself into a fierce bird of prey-a gift that's caused death and destruction.

At last he's offered the chance to redeem himself. Only one woman stands in his way-a beautiful writer determined to wreak revenge on the assassins who murdered her family. Assassins, it's been rumored, who have powers no human should ever possess...

(Goodreads)

Review:

The Darkness Chosen series by Christina Dodd is a new take on the traditional shape-shifter romance. The first book within the series, Scent of Darkness, was intriguing and here I am, reviewing the second book with the third on my shelf.

~ Fraya bit his lower lip and he groaned. She felt his fingers clawing at her through her jeans. She wished he’d shred the denim along, shove her panties aside and take her. Would he bite her? Oh, God, she could only hope he would sink his fangs into her throat as he claimed her body.

She slipped her hands under his shirt. The hard muscles of his stomach tensed and quivered beneath her teasing fingers. She ran her nails his sides and smiled against his lips when he growled.

Fraya gasped for air when he released their kiss. Ethan trailed his lips over her jaw and down her neck. He pressed a hard kiss against her throat. Her pulse spiked when the points of his fangs teased her jugular. Oh, he made her burn. She yearned for the cool touch of his hands and the hard press of his body. Her hips rocked against him when he nibbled and sucked on the sensitive skin between her neck and shoulder. ~
