Publisher's Summary

Defeat the enemy. Win the boy. Live happily ever after. But life "ever after" isn't as easy as it used to be.

Harper's gone from being a member of a small demon lair to co-Prime of one of the most powerful lairs in the US, with a mate who, though hot as hell, is just a mite overprotective - I mean, you get kidnapped by dark practitioners just once....

Then one of Knox's demons goes rogue and in his madness decides Knox Thorne must die. Harper's worried. Knox isn't - at least until he discovers his mate's willingness to get between him and danger. Now Knox has a new priority: keep Harper safe...no matter what it takes.

But Harper begins to suspect there's more danger than one rogue demon. It seems the combined strength of Harper and Knox has upset the balance of power in the demon world, and there are those who are determined to right that wrong. Because when you move up the food chain, sometimes the other predators just want to take a bigger bite.

Contains mature themes.

Great Story, Horrible Narration

Luckily, I read the book & it's a fantastic story but I could not finish the audio version. The narration is awful. I wish Jill Redfield did this series too. :(

Outstanding

This is a wonderful book, full of funny, interesting and smart characters. Cat Doucette catches the personalities of the characters beautifully. If you're looking for some laughs, romance and a little mystery with a tiny bit of action thrown in, this is the book for you.

It's an ok series, so farm

I've gotten used to the characters and their demon trraits. It's entertaining but, Not near as good as The Phoenix and Mercury Packs.

One big reason, I believe, that I don't like this series as much as the author's last is the narration. I heard this narrator do other books and I thought she did fine, however, the voices of these characters are very Whiney. Along with being whiney, the voice of the Hero is way too feminine. I would think that a demon created in the depths of hell would have a deep, hoarse masculine voice. I rarely make negative remarks about a narrator's work because I admire their ability. Narrating takes a special talent that I do not have but, unfortunately, Cat missed the mark with her voice selection, in this series. Adding a male narrator for dual narration would be a great addition, in my humble opinion.

cartoon voices

A good story and characters but the narrator needs to work on creating grown-up voices.

High school drama with hot sex

This is a big disappointment. In the first book we always give writers a pass. It has an interesting premise.The second we expect circumstances to add a depth and breadth to the characters. This one misses the mark. It reads like a teen-age love story featuring immatures arguments and misunderstandings and hot sex.

The relationship between Harper, our heroin and Knox, our hero, centers around the need to keep each other save for the sanity of their demons. Much of their dialogue centers around them making promises to each other to notify the other IMMEDIATELY, not after dinner, if they, were in danger that day. It does not matter if the threat was not in their vicinity. We are given various combination of those scenarios, which end with hurt feelings and mad demons and hot sex.

What started as someone plotting against our couple, has become an organization, the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, that wishes to destroy Knox, by coming at Harper. That is why much of the dialogue is…“I just want to protect you”, “My demon would destroy the world without you”, hot sex, ex-girlfriends pissing off Harper, Harper cussing them out, Joelean, Harper’s grandmother, threatening Knox, and Harper and Knox flaunting the life of the super-rich. The culmination of the story is a big shindig, oh sorry celebration, which is the announcement of Harper being a co-prime.

But from the start of the story to the shindig is 6 weeks. That is a lot of time with their high school relationship antics, rouge demons escaping, hot sex, and shopping. There is one big demonstration of their magically gifts. There is an interesting twist but it follows a predictable pattern. There is always a situation when a protagonist, who has an average magically ability, has a boost in that power. That part of the story was pretty good.

The most amusing part is when the Wallace family does their imp thing.

I will not continue with the series. There are too many urban-fantasy paranormals novels that actually put in time for character/story development. Hot sex is okay, but at least give me a story.

Really good read

I really loved this series and will get the next book. My only issues were that the narrator made the main character sound like a little child. The voice was annoying.

Happily surprised!

I honestly didn’t know where the story was going to go after the first book and I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this one. I was happily surprised and still quite entertained with the continuation of Harper and Nox’s love story. It’s definitely worth continuing on and seeing where the author is going. I was also afraid the sex scenes we’re going to be all the same as the last book but they did tend to vary and steam up the pages.

Live the story of demon shifters Knox & Harper!

I loved this book. It's a great fantasy take you away from reality sort of book. Interesting perspective on the demon shifters VS regular animal shifters books that I've read.

Really Good

Unique story, cool characters. Narrator was good, too! Definitely recommend this one, great start to the series!
