Reviews for first edition:
"Five Stars and ORGASMIC Heat Level! …exciting and action-packed. It’s really wonderful. Gabriel is an incredibly sexy man who walks around half-naked. What woman could resist a man who looks this good? He gives new meaning to the phrase "alpha male." He sees Jessica, gets it in his mind to claim her, and goes after her with single-minded determination. The paranormal aspects of Lycans and Vampires are awesome. The sexual tension in this story is so thick you couldn-t cut it with a chainsaw. Gabriel-s smoldering sensuality is just one reason why this novel should go on the keeper shelf. Action and sensuality are the pillars of this novel that keeps you reading. Celeste Anwar is a great writer with a wonderful imagination. I can only imagine what Ms. Anwar will come up with next, but one thing is certain, she is now on my auto buy list." Angel Brewer, Just Erotic Romance Reviews
