Kellan Scott, the Lycan shape-shifter, has vowed to redeem his playboy past...even allowing himself to be captured by his enemies to save a woman he's never met. Once imprisoned, stealing into Chloe Harcourt's cell is the easy part---withstanding her irresistible beauty is next to impossible.
Chloe has struggled to keep her unusual powers over other people's emotions in check, never trusting that any man could truly love her for herself. Until her mesmerizing rescuer awakens a primal craving for contact.
Their all-consuming passion is their strongest weapon against their sadistic captor. But Kellen's biggest battle may still lie ahead: to convince Chloe he's worthy of her undying love...or die trying.

I love this series, I just wish Byrd wrote faster. Kellen's story starts in the previous book (Keirland and Morgan's). He has set off across the wasteland to rescue Chloe from Westmore, crossing paths with a nest of vampires who he gets caught up in a fight with, that leaves him poisoned. Racing against the poison and the clock to free Chloe, Kellen struggles to get Chloe free before the Casus catches up with them. Kellen is trying to redeem himself by rescuing Chloe, but it is Chloe who rescues Kellen (from himself). Their story is cute, at times is bogged down by the dialogue, but overall a good story. The passion and intimacy is scorching with these two, and would give any woman some heated fantasies! The series is moving along a little further in the fight against the Casus, and we meet a few new characters in this one. If you haven't read this series, start at the beginning, you will need to know the path to understand all the dynamics. But you won't be disappointed.

In the paranormal battle of good vs. evil, Kellan, a Lycan shape-shifter, is on the good side, but hasnt always made the right decisions. In fact within their warrior group, he is known as a womanizer and he is beginning to feel like a real screw up.
Then Kellan, gets one look at the picture of the missing witch, Chloe and he suddenly feels drawn to change his life. He cant get her out of his mind, so he sets himself up to be captured and taken to where she is.
I love, adore, and worship this series. The battle between the Watchman and the evil species that lurk in this world the author created is so dark and complex and utterly captivating. Then running side by side with all the action and evil you have the romance. This series is dominated by primal, delicious males and their sexy and feisty females; you want to eat them with a spoon.
This series has quickly become one of my favorites and its one of those storylines that you count down to the next release date. Rhyannon Byrd has created characters that leap off the page and a storyline that has you begging for more! This book was probably one of my favorites in the series and I am so anxious for the next one I fear I may not make the wait.
