Lovveed it! So sad that this is the end. Pouts**... Oh well. So Willow in the first half of this book got on my nerves. Usually I am all for feeling sorry when the someone gets their feelings hurt and they wait years to hash it out. In this case it was 12 years and it was with Noah. But damn it , I felt like get over it already. Stop being a bitch to Noah when I love him! I wanted to smack her every time she upset him. Dammit he has enough going on and issues of his own so get over it already!! Then by the second half she was acting better and not so confrontational. By the end I liked her and wasn't pissed off at her anymore. See I loved Noah's character from when he was introduced a few books back. So yeah I wanted to defend him.
Lots of action and hot lovin too....
Damon the demon was introduced and seriously I hope that he gets a book from the spin off series .I loved him in here. He was such a great new character. By the end there were two sad things that had happened. It sucked. I loved all the weddings and HEA and the exciting news that was shared by one of the watchmen. The name of the new crew?? lol That was great! I just loved that this was it , the end and all my watchmen and their ladies were happy and finally they seemed to have some peace. They have all had a rough road and it was so great the way that it came to and happy end.

My Review…..
Rush of Pleasure is the 8th and final installment of the PRIMAL INSTINCT series. I have been on this amazing ride since the first book in series "Edge of Hunger" released in 2009 and it has been well worth it. The PRIMAL INSTINCT series is one of my all time favorite series and I will definitely be going back and reading the series again (and then again ) .
Noah Winston is a strong and determined man. Having Casus blood in his family, due to a Casus raping one if family members, Noah will stop at nothing to prevent the Casus from taking over his body or his two brothers. Noah goes back to his hometown Sacred, Louisiana to get some answers from people he had hoped never to see again - Jesse, Mitch and Willow Broussard, the woman he once loved an ran away from.
Jesse and Willow Broussard are very powerful Chastain Witches. Willow never forgave Noah for leaving the way he did but he when he returns he comes baring bad news, Willow's sister Sienna is helping the Casus leader. Willow sets out to help Noah and to find her sister.
This book is full of action, twists and turns. I loved watching Noah and Willow fall in love all over again. I don’t want to say anything more because I don't want to spoil anything. So many thing happened in this books to bring together the conclusion of the series. This book definitely did not disappoint. I laughed, I cried and I screamed with frustration. The PRIMAL INSTINCT series will always be on my top favorite series list and I will definitely be reading it again and again. I also fell in love with Willow's best friend Damon, the sex demon. He is one of the most funniest characters I have read and totally loveable. I am dying for Damon to get his own book.
I am looking forward to Ashe's book "Deadly is the Kiss" in 2012 and keeping my fingers crossed that there will be more to come.

The eighth and final book in the Primal Instincts series was a definite hit with me. Combining the fantastic paranormal world that is so easy to get to know with mind numbing and page scorching passion to light up the entire country for eons to come, Noah and Willow definitely earned their rightful place as one of my favorite couples from the series.
Noah David Winston is part Casus, thanks to his mother's line of family. Noah remains vulnerable to the fact that a stray Casus shade who has made its way into this world can make use of his body to roam the Earth. With the added threat of the Casus leader actively seeking Noah as the most probable candidate for his inhabitation and because Noah had nearly managed to kill off Anthony Calder during the last bloody battle that was waged between the Watchmen and the Casus, Noah knows that the fate of all species of the world rests in the decoding the spell that is bound to kill anything with pure unadulterated evil lurking within its very soul.
Decoding the spell means revisiting his hometown Sacred in Louisiana, where he hasn't set foot since that fateful night twelve years back. His desire for Willow Broussard even at the tender age of nineteen had surpassed anything Noah has ever felt since then. When Noah seeks out Jessie, Willow's aunt whose powerful spells is the stuff legends are made of, Noah doesn't expect a run in with the woman who makes all his senses go on red alert just with her mere presence.
Willow would rather gnaw off her arm than admit that seeing the gorgeous Noah Winston in her own backyard once again sets all her senses afire with the need to possess and be possessed by the man who haunts her dreams even twelve years on. Now a private investigator for the ancient clans who still walk the Earth, Willow is strong, sexy and capable in her own right, a fact that drives Noah completely out of his mind when the desire he feels for Willow threatens to obliterate the very seriousness of the mission he has embarked upon.
Forced to work together by circumstance, the barriers that each had built in the other's absence starts to crumble with each searing glance and mind numbing kiss exchanged. As the truth about what is actually required to perform the spell comes to light, Noah knows that he is about to embark upon a battle that could mean the end of life as he knows it, a life he would gladly give up if it means keeping Willow safe. As the dead body count continues to grow, Willow joins hands with the man to whom her heart will belong to now and forever, to fight the battle that might cost her the love of her life even before she can confess the little fact to him.
Rush of Pleasure is a fitting end to a series that has saw me through highly enjoyable paranormal reads with the tinge of red hot passion to make things that much more interesting. Noah Weston is a dangerous man to let into your heart because he demands no less than complete and utter surrender of every emotion that you've got to give. His strength and vulnerability coupled with his blatant need for the woman he loves is a lethal combination that had me hyperventilating one minute and swooning into a puddle of goo the next.
Willow is the perfect heroine for Noah with her strong persona that makes her the ultimate candidate to love and cherish Noah and even stand firm in what she believes in when its for the good of their relationship. Noah might not overly much like the fact that his Willow is kick-ass heroine material that puts her on the path of danger every now and then, but that's what at the end of the day makes these two such a well matched couple in bed and out of it.
The scenes of combustive passion definitely delivered on the sexual tension that practically leaps out of the pages and I loved every single second of it! Explosive in all the ways that counts, Rush of Pleasure is a novel not to be missed for fans of the series as well as fans of paranormal romances.
The one thing that I can say is, you don't need to have read the previous books to enjoy this one as Rhyannon makes it so darn easy for you to find your rhythm in her world of ancient clans. But, I would still urge you to read the other books; just to enjoy the wild and wicked ride that only Rhyannon can take you on in her Primal Instinct series.
I feel a bit sad knowing that this is the end of a series that I have enjoyed immensely throughout the last 2 years or so. But knowing that the sexy and deadly Ashe Granger from the series gets his story in a standalone novel this coming April has got me pacified somewhat, and I await eagerly for its release. And I would so love to read Damon MacCaven the demon's story! Just saying.
Memorable Quotes
She didn’t fight him, but her mouth had been shocked into stillness beneath his—passive, simply taking, accepting—and he wanted her hunger. Wanted the bite of her nails and her mind-blowing passion.
He wanted her wild for him.
“Goddamn it, kiss me back,” he snarled, holding the side of her face in his hand. She moaned, tilting her head, fitting her mouth more closely to his. “Please,” he gasped against her silky lips, his voice cracking as he begged her…pleading.
“Kiss me back, Will.”
And then he felt the soft, sweet stroke of her tongue, and his body shuddered violently in response to that delicate, seeking touch. Within seconds, the kiss became something explicitly carnal, devastating in its power.

Wow what a great story to end the series. I've rarely read a story that so well wraps up the HEAs for all the lovers in the series, remained action packed and killed (almost) all the bad guys, in such a wonderfully well written way. I know this is the end but i am gonna hold out hope for a spin off series (would love to know what happens to Harris and The Granger guys). Would reread this now if i didn't have so many more stories to read still.

Hot and steamy. Definitely a wild read. Almost good enough to add to my collection. =)

I really enjoyed this last installment in the Primal Instincts series. Had some great moments, especially when all the watchmen were working together and i was so thankful for the epilogue...it gave us one final glimpse into their lives with all their women. Although Noah and Willow weren't probably my favorite couple their romance was very sweet and hot...liked the whole "knew each other as kids" storyline. I also really LOVED Damon, the sex eating demon!! I'm hoping we'll be seeing a book for him sometime in the future...he was just too good of a character to never hear about again!
Rhyannon Byrd did a good job of wrapping things up for this series. Anyone looking for a really great shifter series with good action, suspense and romance should give these a try...it's definitely one i'm sad to see end.

One word.....AMAZING!!!! OMG I love this book! I thought Aiden's story was my favorite but Noah is SO MUCH HOTTER! And that's saying something! I won't tell you what you can read in the blurb fromthe back of the book but I will tell you that if you enjoy a good paranormal romance than this book is for you! :) But take my advice, start with the beggining of the series and read them all! I can't wait for Ashe's story and I really really want Damon to get his own story also! Yum!!!

Last in the series. 5 stars.... Awesome book. Loved it. This series is amazing!!!

Great read
Well the final story in this particular battle and belongs to Noah and willow. Read in one sitting and loved it. Do like when an author brings us a strong female able to match the male lead. Highly recommend.

finale affrettato, dopo tutto quel parlare non viene mostrato nulla del combattimento finale. l'epilogo è a dir poco stucchevole...

REVIEW: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Rush of Pleasure is the eighth book in the Primal Instinct Series by Rhyannon Byrd. This story picks up from the ending of Rush of Darkness and is a wonderful conclusion to this brilliant series.
Noah Winston is part of the ‘formerly named’ Watchmen, a highly skilled organization of shifters whose job it is to keep watch over ancient non-human races; Noah is human with a Casus bloodline and since being bitten by Calder has noticed an increase in his abilities.
When Noah returns to the place of his youth, he never expected to run into Willow Broussard, a Chastain witch and his teen crush although with the ongoing conflicts that were happening between their families they weren’t meant to be so he left without fully explaining why, breaking her heart and leaving her holding a grudge.
Their initial meeting was tense but their quest to find Willow’s sister Sienna who is now thought to be working with the evil Casus leader Anthony Calder as well as find a Demon to read the death spell to put a stop to the carnage being caused by the Death-walkers and of course stopping Calder who has his sights set on Noah to inhabit his body, forced them into discussing their past as well as present attractions and feelings.
I felt the first half of the book seemed to flow at a slow pace and seemed more about their angst and anger over what had happened in the past, I wanted more action which I have come to enjoy and love in the other books but it seemed to take a back seat. I also wish we knew of Willow’s secret and of the prophecy earlier on in the story.
The conflict between the Watchmen & Death-walkers was anti-climatic and over way too quickly and the smex scene I felt was inappropriate at this time, Willow played her part by supplying her blood but both were absent from the main fight and we are only told what had happened; I would have preferred to ‘be’ there and have what was happening explained not just what they were advised to do & then knowing it was done. It seemed to lack emotion. I felt the same with the final showdown against Calder; I wanted to feel ‘more’.
I liked Noah and Willow as characters, they were strong-willed, determined and extremely stubborn; Byrd did a great job portraying their passion with the growing sense of caring and love which I enjoyed. I loved the reappearance of the other watchmen and their partners as well as the Grainger Brothers. Damon the Demon was wonderful! He bought humor to the story and I would love to read a story based on his character.
All in all, an enjoyable read but felt it was more about Noah and Willow’s relationship and the romance rather than the conflict surrounding them.
I loved the name they came up with for their organization! It suits them perfectly.
I feel it is best for this series to be read in order; Byrd explains enough in order to get by but to fully understand the back-story it should be read from book 1, Edge of Hunger.
I love Byrd’s writing style and the Primal Instincts series is one of my favorites. I look forward to reading more from this wonderful author.

A Long and Short of It "BEST BOOK"
This is the eighth, and final, book in Rhyannon Byrd’s Primal Instincts series, and it was worth the journey.
The final battle to stop the Casus is over, but in the confusion of the fight, the Casus leader, Anthony Calder, was able to escape, with the help of his pet witch. Noah Winston won’t rest until he has stopped Calder once and for all. He also knows it is time to go back to his home town and bring the bad news to people who used to be his friends: Jessie, her niece Willow and Willow’s brother, Harris. What he has to tell them has to be said in person, and even if he wanted to avoid it, they deserve to know that the witch helping Calder is Willow’s sister, Sienna. He also wants to ask Jessie if there is a way to stop the death walkers that were released when the Casus were defeated. And he dreads facing Willow-the only woman he has ever cared anything for, even though he left her all those years ago.
As for Willow, she never got over Noah, either. But Calder wants to take over Noah’s body, and he is determined to get what he wants.
When the sparks rekindle, Noah is determined to protect Willow at all costs, but she isn’t having any of that. But when Willow’s friend, and demon, Damon explains what they need to stop the death walkers, Willow becomes more important than ever. It seems she is part of the solution, and Noah is shocked at what he learns.
Can Noah stop Calder and keep his own soul? Will the plan to stop the death walkers work? Is Willow strong enough in her magic to save what she and Noah could have together?
I really enjoyed this world Ms. Byrd created, and I will miss visiting with all the characters that live there. I met some very memorable characters and some very nasty bad guys as well. I did find that most of the villains were not completely evil, but s few were beyond redemption.
Noah Winston is a strong and determined man. As the oldest of three brothers, he understands responsibility, and is determined to prevent Calder from taking him over. I loved Noah’s sensitive side, when he admitted to Willow how he felt about her, how he had always felt. Noah’s real strength is his ability to care and protect those he cares about.
Willow is sassy and independent, and a very powerful witch. She is surprised when Noah shows up after so many years, and is determined not to let him back into her heart; at least until she realizes he never left it. I enjoyed watching as she and Noah became closer, and loved the way she was able to accept that she had to fight for her role in the destruction of the death walkers.
Ms. Byrd does an admirable job of bringing all the varied threads together for this book, and I enjoyed the surprises that arise as Willow and Noah begin to reconnect. There are a couple of tear jerker moments, but they serve to make the happy ever after all the sweeter in the end.
I recommend the complete series to those who like love and adventure and lots of action.

Born into a family descended from the evil Casus, Noah Winston has lived his entire life knowing that one day he may be possessed by pure evil. Now, he works with the now-defunct Watchmen to battle the Casus as they attempt to bring their evil back into our dimension. Following an epic battle (in the previous novel), he knows he must contact Willow Broussard — the one woman he wants more than any other, and the one most forbidden to him.
A powerful witch, Willow belongs to a family whose long-standing feud with Noah’s family is a thing to make the Hatfields and McCoy’s look like a nursery-room squabble. As teenagers, Willow and Noah were on the cusp of becoming lovers when they were discovered by their families and Noah quickly abandoned their relationship seemingly for good. Now, twelve years later, Willow is a powerful warrior-witch in her own right, and Noah needs her family’s help to translate a spell that may be the saving grace of mankind.
Forced to work together, both Noah and Willow battle their rekindled attraction while, well, attempting to save the world.
Overall, I think this was a great way to wrap up an awesome series. While newcomers will likely be at least a little confused, I do feel that Ms. Byrd did a respectable job of giving just enough information to get by without succumbing to the dreaded info-dump syndrome that befalls so many books that are late entries into a previously established series. The hotness factor was just as high as I’ve come to expect from this series (that is, deliciously hot with plenty of yummy angsty UST), and the new characters were enchanting.
Recommended for fans of estranged lovers, forbidden romance, and delicious tension and chemistry, liberally sprinkled with kick-butt paranormal action and evil mayhem. A very solid 4/5 Stars

Born into a family descended from the evil Casus, Noah Winston has lived his entire life knowing that one day he may be possessed by pure evil. Now, he works with the now-defunct Watchmen to battle the Casus as they attempt to bring their evil back into our dimension.

I'm going to tell you the truth; I didn't want to start this book. By starting it I was opening the last book in a series that I love. I know I know, there is going to be another series and odds are we are going to get to see characters from this series in the other. It's still sad to say goodbye to a series that I have been following for the past few years. Primal Instincts is one of my favorite paranormal romance series and I am always excited to get my hand on the next book. Rush of Pleasure was no different, and though it was hard to start reading that first page, I enjoyed every second spent reading the next few hundred!
Rush of Pleasure finally brings us Noah's story. Noah has always been the mysterious one to me. You know that he has Casus blood but you don't really know that much more about him. I have been waiting for a long time, and I was so excited that we finally got to see his happy "ending". We start the book with Noah going back to his childhood town where he left his first love behind. And not only is she a witch, she is witch from a family that hates Noah's family....talk about a family feud.
Willow is the girl that Noah left behind, seriously breaking her heart. Soon he finds out that she is the only one that can get him the answers that he needs, and that all those feelings from twelve years before are still very present on both of their parts. But Willow isn't the same innocent girl that he left behind. She has grown into a warrior woman who is more than capable of handling his "darker" side. I really like Willow; she is very hardcore and wouldn't put up with Noah's crap.
On their journey to finally end the war with Calder and the Casus, Noah and Willow find out if they will ever be able to truly be together. They both face a lot of heartbreak and because of that learn to trust each other again. They also pick up a new friend, Damon the demon. I really hope that we learn more about him in the new series.
Everything about this book was wonderful. It is a great addition to the series and it wraps up everything perfectly. Now I just have to sit patiently and wait for the spin-off series to start!

I’m so sad this is the last book in the Primal Instinct series, but I’m happy that a new series will start so I guess it works out! Rush of Pleasure wasn’t at all what I expected but it was an enjoyable read. I found Noah and Willow to be an interesting couple with a bitter sweet past that drew you in and kept you addicted to what would happen between these two people. You know that he has Casus blood but you don't really know that much more about him from any of the previous books so Noah has always been an unknown entity within the Watchers. As Noah has always been slightly darker and more unpredictable because you never really knew if he was going to be taken over by a Casus. His relationship with Willow as childhood sweethearts reminded me of Romeo and Juliet as the family’s had a feud that was still going strong with Rush of Pleasure due to Willow’s family being Witches and Noah’s family possibly been taken over by Casus and being used for evil. When Noah goes back to his home town and he meets Willow again she isn’t the girl she once was she’s a grown woman and now a warrior which Noah isn’t quite sure how to take. And at times I felt Willow was trying too hard to prove she wasn’t the soft, innocent girl she used to be. That she was stronger now and Noah or anyone else would ever hurt her again.
A part from this I did really enjoy Rush of Pleasure and was glued to what would finally happen with Noah and I oh so enjoyed the twist that is explained at the beginning that tells you why Noah goes back to his old home town for answers.
Favourite Quote:
“And as Noah suddenly puller her onto his lap, kissing her as if he’d die without the taste of her lips against his, there was only one way Willow could think to describe the future...
Breathtakingly, mind-blowingly perfect.”
Overall, a great conclusion to a brilliant and totally enjoyable series, I would highly recommend this series never mind this book!

I have to say that I am sad to see this book is the last book in the series. The world that the action has been set in is a fun one, we have all sorts of hunky men, sassy women, and they are fighting to save the world, what more can you ask for!
I love stories that deal with first love given a second chance, and that is the case with Noah and Willow. Noah and Willow both have all sorts of family issues and it doesn't help that there families have been enemies for years. Of course that also didn't help stop their attraction.
As soon as Noah sensed Willow he knew he was going to be in trouble, again and sure enough, there was Willow with a knife to his throat. Willow can't believe that Noah is back, the one man that she has never been able to forget. Noah is able to talk his way into seeing Jessi, Willow's aunt, and getting the help the Watchmen need to finally get rid of the Casus once and for all.
Noah finds himself on a road trip with Willow, searching for a demon to translate a spell that they need. It is one the road trip that the fun of the book begins for us readers. Noah and Willow can't help but to snipe and snarl at each other. Neither can they admit those feelings still are there.
Damon, the demon, brought so much fun to the story. I wish that he would have been introduced earlier on. I loved how he was protective of Willow and goaded each of them into admitting their feelings.
When the big final battle came, Willow was an integral part of the plan against Noah's wishes. It was in this do or die situation that they were forced to admit what they felt.
The ending with the gathering of all the past characters was a great way to end the series. But the best part was the new name of the group, sure to cause them lots of embarrassment.

Noah walked away from the only woman he’s ever loved when just too many offs were stacked against them finding true happiness. Their rivaling families, the risk to Noah’s soul as he might very well become a monster and the prophecy of Willow’s death if he remains in her life. Now, he back, with his tail between his legs, to the very place he wants to avoid at all costs. His love for Willow has never faltered regardless of their years spent apart and now, he knows if she gets too close, he won’t have the strength to walk away again.
When she sees the man, who broke her heart all those years ago, it’s extremely hard to maintain her cool. On one hand she hates him for leaving her without a word but on the other, she loves him all the same. And when he starts to break down and attempt his feelings, she can’t help herself but fall right back into his arms again despite all the same issues being present that tore them apart before.
Now they are on the hunt to collect the things necessary to craft a spell strong enough to end the demon’s life on the mortal plain forever and cast him back to hell before Noah loses the battle for his soul.
This plot was extremely bland and had nothing special enough to maintain my attention. It was basically one big loop of going to one town, fighting some demons – rinse4 and repeat. I found neither Noah nor Willow particularly unique characters and their characteristics were also bland. Unfortunately, just nothing about this book stood out to me and it quite literally melted into the pile of mush with the other nonsensical novels I have read in my time. Sad outing for an author I know for a fact can write engaging stories and special characters.

Even though I could predict the ending really early on. Byrd never disappoints with twist-n-turns. GREAT ending to an AWESOME series. Also glad that there is a spin-off; since I wasn't ready to let this world go.
I recommend you start at the beginning; you won't want to miss a moment.

Another great story from RY. My only criticism, being it's the last book in the series I would have liked more involvement of the other watchman and their ladies in the story.
Noah is a human working with the watchman, a group of shifters who protect the "clans" (all the paranormals left in the world) from human discovery. Noah is a descendant of the Casius, a clan of evil blood drinking monsters who were banished from the earth hundreds of years ago. They could however not be killed, so they were sent to "meridian" where they languished as "shades" spirits without corporeal bodies. But, they found a way to escape meridian and return to earth, stealing the bodies of their descendants as hosts to continue their assaults on mankind. Noah is determined to kill the leader of the casius before he can steal Noah's body and life for himself. He seeks out the help of a powerful witch.
Willow is a Chastain Witch, a powerful warrior, with a prophecy hanging over her head. Together with the help of her friend, damon, a demon, and a spell found in an old journal they hope to eliminate the deathwalkers and save the world!
Noah has been in love with Willow since her was a 19 year old kid. He left her because their families were at war and he thought it was the best thing for her. She has been pining for him for the last 12 years, angry and hurt by his abandonment. Can they overcome the hurts of the past and forge a new love in the present? And will they even live to have a future?

I totally loved Noah's book , every since he came into this series in book 3 I've been dying to learn more about him and his book was so good.
Noah is so interesting and i was so happy that he got his own book, his stoy was different than the other books because at anytime he could possibly have his body taken over by one of the Casus , it was something he was afraid would happen and it really started to take its toll on him but then he goes back home and finds the girl hes never stopped loving and things start to look up.
I loved Willow , she was so funny & just what Noah needed , 12 years after he left he finally returns for help with the death spell not knowing whats in store for him when he see Willow after all those years apart, it was great to watch thier relationship unfold , thier scenes together are so steamy .
I fell in love with Damon omg I just thought he was so awesome , I am really disappointed that Damon, Ashe & Gideon didn't get their own books , I so would have loved to read more about them , they were all so funny & interesting .
Overall I absolutely loved this whole series, from start to finish it was awesome, I can't wait to read more from Rhyannon Byrd :)

8/10
Even though I have not read the previous books in this series I really enjoyed this book. I'm sure a few references would have made more sense to me if I had seen the glossary in the back prior to starting, but because I was reading on an e-reader, I didn't realize if was there until I finished.
What I liked:
Noah the male lead is sexy, hunted and maybe contaminated by the evil forces he is fighting against. (not sure if the possible contamination was cover in a previous book or not.) He and a band of warriors are fighting against powerful evil....enter Willow the female lead, she and Noah have a shared history that didn't end well. Now he needs her help to defeat the evil that wants to take over his very being. The story was exciting even if I knew where is was going almost from the start.
What I didn't like:
Didn't find out what happened to Damon. I liked him and wanted more. I felt like the ending was kind of weak... kinda and everyone lived happily ever after, the end.

I do like this series but did find this book a bit more difficult to believe. The two main characters in this story seemed to be in love too fast and without that period of time that a couple needs to have a believable relationship where feelings grow. I just couldn't understand how she could continue to outwit the soldier with her escapes. That was not believable to me. I also didn't really buy that the main character, being only human, could fight such supernatural beings and be hurt so many times but just bounce right back with no real injuries or debilities. He was suppose to be only human so that wasn't believable for me either. Come to think of it, the story was a little to fantancy even for a romance novel, for me, but overall I do like the series and found the book entertaining if you are willing to overlook the obvious things that just are a little too far fetched.

Somehow, the cover of this book, Rush of Pleasure by Rhyannon Byrd puts me off and does not exactly tempt me to read it. But I’m glad that i made some effort to read it as it is a beautiful story. Wonderfully written with strong dynamic characters and I was captivated with the eerie paranormal element in it.
Rush of Pleasure really did give me pleasure and I get more and more excited as I turn the pages.
I enjoyed this book very much and I highly recommends this book to those who are looking for some romance with a hint of bittersweet past and suspense.

A very good ending to a great series. This was one bad ass book. Noah Winston is the Human fighting against the enemies the Casus. But his family has ties with them because somewhere in the past some woman in his line of ancestories was raped by one of the monsters so the blood of the Casus runs in his family. So even though he fights against the Casus, he also runs the risk of one of the enemy taken his body if he is weak. But he is not weak, he is a strong powerful man on the hunt for the monsters. The hunt leads him back to his past. Willow Broussard is a spunky little witch who is also a paranormal private investigator. He needs her aunt help in finding the witch who is helping the Casus with the revelation before it is to late. Once he sees Willow again he has crazy idea that keeping her close may have just move up on his priorty list.

This was an ok ending to an overall ok paranormal series. While I did enjoy the last two 'Primal Instincts' stories from Byrd, I can't say I was overly excited to read this last installment - somehow the book blurb didn't really grab my attention and Noah's never really been my favorite character - and essentially I only picked it up because I'd read the rest of the series. On the whole, it was just about what I expected - a quick, somewhat entertaining read with a predictable storyline and a so-so ending. With a history of writing steamy erotica, Byrd does deliver on the hot scenes, and IMO, these were the best bits in the story but it wasn't enough to elevate 'Rush of Pleasure' beyond a 3- star rating for me.
February 23, 2013
I don't know I took too long of a break from this series or if it just petered out. Either way this book was really just an average paranormal romance for me. Willow and Noah have a history and some drama to work through. For me this just seemed really formulaic. The erotic portions of the story was a little flat for me as well. I think the only real stand out for me was Damon, would have been nice if he could have had his own stand alone. However the series wrapped up well with the ending of the book bringing all the characters back to celebrate and that was nice. This is still one of the better PNR you will find so check out the series.

Bellissimo!!!!!!
degno finale di questa serie che se non ho capito male proseguirà con altri personaggi e una modifica nel nome. In ogni caso dopo aver iniziato x caso a leggere il primo libro su questi fantastici Guardiani, vi assicuro ke non mi sono pentita di leggere tutti gli altri. Ogniuno con le proprie caratteristiche, uniti da un forte senso del dovere, senso di protezione e possessione verso le loro donne e naturalmente un bellissimo rapporto di amicizia, fratellanza e rispetto tra questi formidabili uomini mutaforma ;-)
Mi mancheranno le loro performance fuori dal normale ... :-) :-) :-)

I received this book from Netgalley, and as such was unaware that it was part of a series at the time.
The book is a fantastic Paranormal Romance, with all of the suspense, heartbreak and romance a good book of the genre needs.
I would of course like to go back and read the whole series now, because I think it would have meant a lot more to me knowing all of the back story.
The characters are well developed, the dialogue between them is sweet and sassy, and the whole story is well written.
Will re-read once I have indulged in the series :)

A great ending to the series.
Noah and Willow has a history, and is was great to read about their relationship. I liked that Willow didn’t just forgive Noah for leaving her and for the way he ended things between them. Healing a broken heart doesn’t just happen overnight and with a few sweet words, so yes I could understand how difficult it was for Willow to trust Noah again.
The suspense in this book was very intense, and the romance was great.
I will definitely be reading this series again.
Rhyannon Byrd is a great PNR writer and you can’t go wrong with reading her books.
