I enjoyed this book very much. It was an absorbing read (even on the eentsy screen of my phone)with so many great characters. I sure hope Linc gets a book next! Nick was so kind and yet so clueless, and Casey was so strong while having no idea how strong she could really be. I love how Alvinia was finally vanquished.
The two did seem to have real trouble communicating, but I liked the way that Casey addressed that problem.
Candace Havens is great at characters, and great characters mean a great story. This book doesn't disappoint. ( )

Prelim Review: Dear Candace, I have one simple wish--please make a book about Linc and please find some way to have Kris Holden-Reid model as him for said book somehow someway in the promo material because Linc owned my heart. Love, Me.

This is one of the more fun paranormal romances I've read in a while. The world building is a bit iffy and seemed more arbitrary then firmly set (the Council for one seemed to have some weird laws--if the Council leader had to be married after 200 years in office, because it promoted 'stability', what's to stop a crazy megalomaniac from marrying to engender trust and then abuse his authority?) and it got annoying how often either Casey or Nick would mention how insecure Casey was.

The good news is that the humor and interesting characters made up for that. As mentioned above I love Linc, and hope there's a story for him. There wasn't a whole lot her Aunt Teddie, but when she did pop up she was pretty fabulous. The easy humor between Nick and Casey was adorable, and to be truthful I totally understood where Casey was coming from. Nick was a tease, even without meaning to.

Rubenesque paranormal romance is a fave, but this dragged for a bit and the angst dried up a little too quickly for my tastes. The world-building was a little spotty with the h being in the dark for the majority of the book, and the sexual tension led to a pretty abrupt sex scene. Still, there seems to be hints at a series, and I liked it enough to give it another go. (2.5 stars) ( )
