Another Good Read. I really enjoy the interacted relationship between Kristen and Markus. Since they are away from Dorian, they are able to live like a normal and do couple things. But...still waiting in suspense on Kristen’s answer. Yes/No!?
Dorian has finally caught up with Kristen and Markus. Of course Dorian is the slicker of the two brothers – at least he thinks so, he was able to trick Kristen into believing they have captured the love of her life and she willingly went with Dorian.
I was happy to hear more details of a character. In this installment, learning the history of Dorian was very interesting. I can see a little why he competes and have so much anger for his brother Markus. I wonder if Kristen will ask Markus about all she has learned in the next one!

Life seems to be going well, both Markus and Kristen have jobs, they can even afford a few luxuries and to repay Susan and Zach. Kristen starts to think she may be pregnant, but before she has a chance to find out Dorian has found her again, Markus is in danger and next thing she knows someone from her pst she never wanted to see again is right in her face.

This one has a few more twists and turns, and leaves you wondering about Markus past.

Kristen and Markus have been managing to make a life in the new town, but Kristen runs into Dorian. He reveals some secrets about his and Markus’s family that could change everything. Kristen is keeping a secret of her own from Markus, what will she do when she gets her answer? When Dorian shows up, what will she do? What will Kristen do once she finds out about the brother’s past?

I loved finding out about Markus and Dorian’s family. It explained so many things, when I first read about Dorian I thought he was just a lazy shape shifter who did not really care about anything other than his image. I can finally understand why the brothers are so different from each other. I was not entirely thrilled with Kristen keeping secrets from Markus; she should be honest with him since she loves him so much.
I love where the author is taking this story, incorporating more things about Markus and Dorian’s family. She has me excited to see where she could take it next. I hope she writes about some of the other couples. I cannot wait until the next book.

I would definitely recommend this book. I do suggest though picking up the first couple of books so you know what is going on though.

I am giving this review for author Kate Kent. This is part 4 of the series by the author.

Kristen and Markus are settling into their new life away from Dorian and his pack. But when a man comes into the pizza place where Kristen works their life takes a dramatic turn for the worse.

I really like the interaction between the 2 main characters, Kristen and Markus. The author has really made them into a real couple with all the ups and down. The story line flow really works in this book and in this series by the author.

This is a very good read for any mature paranormal romance book reader because of the sexual content in it.

Is she or isn't she? After their trip to the mall Kristen wonders if after all the craziness that's her life lately if things are about to get even crazier for her and Markus.


She is bound and determined to make their new lives the best they can be, but will the unexpectedness of life change things even more than it already has? In this novelette we see her worry about what might be and what it could mean for the future.


She learns more about Markus, but has to decide what's true about him and what isn't.

The Plot Thickens!

This story is really starting to get exciting, not for Kristen and Marcus, Dorian has finally caught up with them, just when they were starting to feel safe.

Dorian has discovered that he is not the son of the mother he thought. Dorian is really on a high since he thinks he is in line to be the next Alpha of the Vlodik Pack. What will he do with Kristen now that he has her and better yet, what will he do with his brother Marcus?

A lot of suspense and intrigue begins as the story progresses. I can't wait to read Part Five.

Got a free copy in exchange for an honest review. 
Review on behalf of Wolfie's Fantasy Book Blog. 

Kristen and Marcus are still on the run trying to adjust to everyday life. Just as it seems that this might just work for them Dorian finds them. He tricks Kirsten into going with him willingly. As I don't want to give anything away I won't say anymore. You just have to read it for yourself. 
Again I enjoyed the interaction between Kristen and Marcus, love the sex scenes. This story again ends with a cliffhanger and I can't wait to read part 5.

A Must Read Seires If You Like Shifter And Lots Of Surprises,
Kristen and Marcus ran to the Beeline Motel, got jobs and thought they were safe. Then one day Dorian (Marcus big brother) shows up with a new story about who he is and he's came to claim Kristen and hurt Marcus, and he is not alone. There is a lot of things happening that I won't tell you. Just know you should read these books in order, and book 5 will be along soon. BUT it is a very good book and I can't wait for #5 to get here to see what is next.

This series is awesome! It's so fast paced and interesting, you will never be bored. I love Marcus and Kristen, and their story only gets more intricate in this book. You realize there may be things to learn about each of them still, and it just makes you need book 5 that much faster.

I am really interested to see where Kate Kent will take this next!!! From the ending if this book, I can see book 5 will be just as enthralling!!

Oh my gosh, this has to be one of the best installments i have read. It starts where book three ends and you think everything is going to work out for Kristen and Makus and then wham. Dorian is back with vengence. This bookdid seam a little short than the first three but it still leaves you wanting more.

Cant wait to see what Kate has installed in Book 5. I just really hope Kristen and Marcus are together because the chemistry between these two is magic and they are soulmates.

Craving the Alpha: Part Four

Kate Kent had me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next turn in the story of Kristen and Markus. Kruse and Markus have jobs, a place of their own and continue their hot steamy sex. Dorian and his bad guys show to drag Kristin back to the Vlodik clan.
This installment seemed to read much faster than earlier episodes. It left with yet another plot turn with another evil character. Thanks again Kate for another great read!

Trying to live normal
Just when things seem to be going good trouble seems to find them. If it isn't the possibility of pregnancy or the worries of being found the two lovers can’t seem to get a break. And just what happens in the end is shocking to all get out. Well written and very enjoyable to read. I was given a free copy for an honest review.

I am starting to get annoyed with the whole Dorian thing. Why can't Marcus just kill him and be done with it? Kristen still doesn't know if she is pregnant and I don't think we will find out in the fifth part.
