I am a big fan of paranormal books, especially with romance, so it’s no surprise this spiked my interest.
Lily considers herself an outsider to the world. She’s a mysterious young woman who keeps to herself, not letting anyone in to see the real her, including the reader. She’s strong and at times feisty, but overall she’s down to earth and enjoys the small things in life.
The reader first meets Lily as she sets off alone into the woods barricading herself from the public. It’s there, in the woods, she meets the older and handsome Creed. Creed offers Lily something she can’t refuse, bringing the two of them together and on an adventurous path of friendship, love, drama, mystery, and suspense.
“I remained calm on the outside, but on the inside I was bouncing off the walls. I mean, my heart seemed to pound harder and faster than usual. My mind kept drifting back to that kiss, then mentally slapping me, and my toes want to curl every time I glance at Creed.”
Creed has the southern charm and looks that can bring any woman to her knees. He too, is keeping something from Lily, but unlike Lily, he is willing to open himself up to her.
“Whether it was tonight or a year from now, she would be mine. Deep in my soul, I had already claimed this girl. Lily was mine, Lily had been mine since I’d found her. It didn’t matter what her past was, it only mattered that I was in her future.”
He carried me to his bedroom and I squealed. “Nothing, but sleeping though.” He winked. “My innocent heart just couldn’t take too much more excitement.”
This is a fast read and full of suspense that will keep you turning the pages for more. Cris does a great job keeping the reader guessing and intrigued with both Lily and Creed. We get to look into both Lily and Creed's minds with dual point of views. While I did find the changing from POV interesting, I would have liked to be introduced to whose POV I was going into- rather than mid chapter it switching.
Some of the inner monologue is written in a way that I would speak, making it easy to relate with the characters. I loved watching both characters develop bringing the best out of each other. This is a well written story with good adventure and even humor. I found myself smiling and laughing out loud, as well as my heart pounding right along with Lily. I can't wait to continue this series.
“Clenching my robe closed, I slowly turned to meet a pair of yellow-brown eyes staring at me out of the dark woods. The steady growls made the muscles of my stomach tighten and the inky darkness around me began to close in. Taking small, slow steps backward, my eyes never moved from the creatures’.”

My Review: Romance and werewolves what more could a paranormal fan want. The developing relationship between young Lily(human) and Creed(Werewolf) is really a sweet and touching one. When Creed finds Lily alone and starving in the woods he can’t help but feel for her and offers her a room and board option in exchange for domestic work around the house. Wary but out of options she accepts. Of course things can’t stay platonic forever and that’s where the romance comes in. I do feel like the characters could be fleshed out a little more to make them more interesting. Too much time is spent just watching TV when it could have been spent building the story more. It is almost as though the author ran out of energy writing the story. Some drama is thrown in however when Creed goes on a hunt and when Lily finally finds out what he is. Her back story really needed some punch to make where he found her believable. All in all though it was a mildly entertaining read. Will I read the next installment, maybe because I do feel like it might get better with time and the authors growth in writing. The editing was decent on this one which is refreshing. I give this book 3 stars.

I was asked by the writer to read and review this book and I was very impressed and surprised by the originality of the story and the quality of the characterisation. This is quite a short book, the first of a series, and the pace is good and keeps you interested. There was quite a bit of sexual tension between the characters which was well portrayed, and an overall romantic atmosphere underlying all the subtle threats of violence and the actual acts of violence carried out. There is raw emotion in some of the expressions, e.g. (location2282)
`My heart was bleeding into my chest...' which helps to draw the reader into the story.
A few small criticisms; there are quite a few annoying proofing errors and spelling mistakes in the book which distract from the story, but with these cleaned up this would be an excellent start to the series.

I'm afraid that I found the characters flat, and the storyline a little far fetched. The plot could have been good if it had been more fleshed out. I found both protagonists to be way to forgiving without enough time to work through what the other did or was.
