Review by Twinsie Melinda<\/p>\n

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.<\/p>\n

I was so excited when this book hit my kindle, I even put down another book I had just started. I have been waiting on this book since SJ Chaynie said she was writing a paranormal book.\u00a0 This book did not disappoint and I want to know more about the other characters too. I am hooked on these guys and need to know everything about them.<\/p>\n

Raven is dealing with the death of her best friend and her dad sends her off to a new school, new roommate, and new surroundings. After a night out with her new roommate she finds herself kissing a stranger. The pull to this guy is strong but when she realizes the same guy is one of her professors, they both try to fight the pull. However, somethings are too strong to resist especially when they keep gravitating to each other.<\/p>\n

Locke is Raven\u2019s professor and a shifter with a curse there is no way he can be with Raven at least that is what he tries to tell his wolf. However, his wolf has other ideas she is theirs and they need to protect her. Even if that means stalking her and watching Raven from afar to keep her safe.<\/p>\n

I was so drawn into this story and wanting to know the characters I did not want to put this book down. The storyline was good I wasn\u2019t sure how I would like the student\/teacher relationship but It worked for me in this case. Learning the roll of each of Locke\u2019s friends and what they were intrigued me. In so many stories\u2019 vampires and wolfs do not get along but here they share a house and work very well together. The secrets that came out and the plot twists were great I was blind sided on most of them. I enjoyed the chemistry between Raven and Locke. Is there something going on with Decan and Presley? I need Presley\u2019s story we just got to see little glimpses of who she is when around Raven. I know there is a good story there I need to know it. To be honest I want to know all the guy\u2019s stories really what brought them to were they are. What happened to them to leave their families and make their own with each other. Everyone has secrets and they need to be let out.<\/p>\n

A few of my favorite lines:<\/p>\n

I cross my arms. \u201cI don\u2019t know you.\u201d He flips his visor up. \u201cI just had my tongue down your throat. We\u2019re acquainted enough\u2026\u201d \u2013 Locke<\/p>\n

\u201cEat.\u201d He shoves a box to me. \u201cWhat? My ass not big enough for you, Sullivan? You one of those Kardashian groupies?\u201d\u2026\u201cYou avoided the question.\u201d I point my fork at him then twirl it around. \u201cYou like big butts.\u201d He Shrugs. \u201cI cannot lie.\u201d Did he just make a joke? A laugh bursts from my chest. \u201cHe\u2019s got jokes.\u201d \u2013 Raven and Locke<\/p>\n
