Rating: 3.5 stars
Heat Rating: 
This series continues to go into an unexpected
direction, more and more going into deep water that shows us that no matter who
is in charge, ultimate power truly does ultimately corrupt. I am looking forward to where all this is
heading though and wondering if in the end good truly will overcome evil.
Trevor has been one of those characters that you wonder about, his issues with
controlling his shifting making him increasingly unstable and his inability to
control his urges making him just that much more sinfully sexy. When the other shifters in the organization
were forced into hiding, he definitely stepped up and has taken on a dangerous
mission, but he knows that trusting his new partner is not a good idea, even if
she is too sexy for words and pulls on his instincts in ways he has never
experienced. Alina left the CIA when she found herself being typecast on her
missions, only to find herself placed right back into the same situation, except
with one very big difference—the partner she is now spying on is not entirely
human. While they work together and
slowly come to trust one another the passion and heat between them becomes
stronger and just as undeniable as the fact that their lives as truly in danger
unless they can root out the evil in the organization that they may just end up
giving their lives to. I really enjoyed
seeing Trevor and Alina working together and they were a great couple once they
began to trust one another, but I will say that if you haven’t been a follower
of this series I don’t think you would have been able to jump right in at this
point without being a bit lost, which takes away some of the greatness of the
story. The romance between the H&H is worth every second of the angst and
tension needed to bring them together and I LOVED the twists and turns the
overall series arc took and can see this one lasting a long time to come. I would like to see a few more of the SEALs
come to find love as well, but my favorite part of this series was definitely
seeing the growing family that has formed from the couples in the previous
stories coming together. Sometimes the
family you build by choice truly is stronger than the one you are born into. I
am looking forward to the next story in the series and seeing where Ms. Tyler
takes the series now that more secrets have been uncovered and some characters
have taken new directions. Keep up the good work.
