My Review:

Kalina Harper was attacked two years ago while undercover and she was saved by fierce and snarling cat like creature.  Even after two years she is still have dreams about the creature and it's confusing her.

Kalina Harper boss has assigned to work undercover in the the law office of Reynolds and Delgado.  Her main goal is to find a connection between Roman Reynolds and a South American drug cartel as he sends alot of money to South America. The murder of Senate Mark Banes and his daughter is on everyone's minds including Rome and his partner Nick because of the way they was murder and they suspect that Rogues are the ones that killed Banes and his daughter.  Rome's main goal is to stop them from killing anyone else but he's distracted by Kalina who he starts to believe is his mate.

This book is very a very thrilling fast paced paranormal with a lot of sensual heat and passion.


If you enjoyed Chapter 32 in "One Grave at a Time" by Jeanine Frost then you will enjoy Chapter 24 in this book.

4/5
