Alpha's Promise (Dark Protectors #10)
by Rebecca Zanetti
Blurb:
Though
he has vampire, demon, and Viking blood rushing through his veins, Ivar
Kjeidsen’s soul-crushing trip to hell broke him in ways he can barely
fathom. One vow keeps the deadly
immortal standing: To rescue the vampire brother who had sacrificed freedom for
him. To do that, Ivar needs the help of
a brilliant physicist with wary brown eyes, fierce brilliance, and skin that's
way too soft.
Dr.
Promise Williams understands the underpinnings of the universe but has never
figured out the human beings inhabiting it.
Her function is to think—and not feel—until she’s touched by a vampire
who’s nowhere near human. The primal hunger in his eyes awakens feelings in her
that defy calculation. As she shows him the way to step between worlds, he
brands her with a pleasure that could last more than a lifetime . . .
Themes: Paranormal, vampires, demons, and Witches OH MY!

Review:
The
battle for the safety of our world continues and the Seven are still on the
case. Ivar has returned from hell
determined to find a way to rescue his brother and he won’t let anything stand
in his way, not even a little thing like kidnapping a sexy physicists. Rebecca Zanetti
continues to take us down this amazing journey, filled with drama, danger and
magic and I learn more and more every time I read one of her books about the
kind of man I want to find for myself someday.
The war is coming closer and the Seven are determined that their enemy
will not escape justice and that they will find a way to save their long
missing brother. Dr. Promise Williams is looking over her shoulder, making connections
in her mind after a second of her colleagues is brutally killed, and when she thwarts
a kidnapping attempt, just barely escaping, she is suspicious of every person
she meets. When she gets the chance of a
lifetime to earn a private grant for her research, she jumps at the chance, but
quickly begins to get suspicious of her new friends, especially when they
insist on private security 24/7, in the form of her “kidnapper”. Ivar is determined
for Promise to prove the math behind the magic so that he can get back to the
hell realm that houses his missing brother, but at the same time she draws him
like no woman ever has. Promise has also
never been drawn to a man the way she is to Ivar and when she decides there is
no reason to resist the pull she learns quickly that physical satisfaction is
nothing compared to passion and sensual connection between her and Ivar. But
when the danger around them grows to epic proportions can they find a way to
stay alive and have a chance at a life or will their enemies tear them apart
forever? Ivar was a man on the edge, but
you could see that his determination and passion for his mission came from a
good place in his heart, even as he didn’t think his plans through very
well. He is sexy as all get our, alpha
beyond imaging, and sensuality incarnate, but my favorite moments were the
quite times he experienced with Promise as they learned about their love and
one another. Promise was an odd duck to be sure, one that I don’t understand as
her IQ was way too high for me to understand and the way she was trained to
think is out of my realm of understanding. As she
came to learn more about herself and her nature as a woman, she definitely
became more well-rounded and a truly amazing character in even more ways. I liked getting to watch her blossom with
Ivar’s help and seeing her eyes be opened to the hidden world of the demons,
vampires, shifters, and witches and the way their magic and her math can be
combined to amazing results. There was
so much fire between Ivar and Promise even as she didn’t want to admit herself
how passionate she could be and by giving in to their passion they both found a
love and match truly fated to change the worlds. I am dying to see what comes next in this
series and find out who finds their love match next, but no matter what happens
I know that Rebecca will give us an amazing experience reading it and that it
will be worth every second of time it takes to read it. Keep the magic alive Rebecca!
