***4 Stars***
From the first time I met Adare and Grace and found out that their “mating” was more about convenience ~ well, life saving convenience ~ I wondered just what it would take to get these two to realize that they were meant to be together, and let me tell you it was a rocky yet enjoyable ride.
Adare and Grace. These two take determination to a whole new level. Adare is all kinds of protective alpha af male and loyal to fault. He is so focused on “The Job” that it blinds him to what is right in front of him. Grace is all about seeing what isn’t visible to the naked eye and living life on her own terms. So, when these two opposites collide sparks fly in every way possible. And those collisions tended to end in frustration. I swear these two and their lack of true communication was as enjoyable as it was frustrating. The chemistry was there and I liked how neither denied that part of their attraction and in the end, I was very happy that they finally realized that their mating was not a mistake nor one of convenience.
This book definitely pushes quite a few of the plot arc’s forward...and there are many, but I liked how the situation with the Lock & Key’s progressed. There was a smaller arc that I was very happy to see come to a head in this book, because it was seriously a long time coming, but even with that small one resolved, another one popped up that promises to cause a good amount of drama. As for the two unmated members of the Seven. They, of course have to be my ultimate fav’s, Garrett and Benny. There is a bit of a tease about who’s up next and who his mate will more than likely be (I gotta admit, I kind like how that happened), so now to practice patience until that book is released.,’

Duty -or desire?
Vampire soldier Adare O’Cearbhaill’s default setting is cranky. Or irritated. Or down-right hostile. Still, as a Highlander of honor and duty he stepped up to save an enhanced and special human female by mating her—with merely a bite and a brand. The last person he wants in his life is a fragile human, yet he can’t get her out of his mind as she regains her strength before taking off for parts unknown. And when he discovers she is in danger, nothing can stop him from hunting her down—whether she likes it or not.
There’s only one way to find out . . .
Photographer Grace Cooper has had it with vampires, demons, and the rest of an immortal world she was happier not knowing about. She also doesn’t believe she’s destined for some great battle because of an old birthmark. Forget the fact that her mate is the sexiest thing on two stubborn feet, or that her brand is fading along with her health. She’ll handle things on her own—until an old enemy reappears and she learns the only way to stay alive is to actually mate, wild sex and all, with that ripped and dangerous Adare—a powerful, captivating Highlander who demands nothing less than everything . . .
