If you loved the Dark Protectors series, these wicked hot Realm Enforcers are for you...

Daire Dunne is more than ready to take a quick break from his duties as a Coven Nine Enforcer. When he spots a sexy blonde across a Titans of Fire party, it’s not long before she’s on the back of his Harley on the fast track to his apartment. Unfortunately, one overheated kiss in, the woman drugs Daire and steals valuable files that can’t fall into enemy hands. The second he comes to, the hunt is on...

Now that Cee Cee Kyllwood has the information to take down an enemy that destroyed her family, she can implement her perfect plan for revenge. Nothing will stop her, not even a shockingly sexy enforcer barging into her life. Not even the spectacular, fire-branding sex engulfing them. But if Daire ever figures out who her family really is, all bets are off...

“Who knew that you’re a ruthless sweetheart with a penchant for trouble?”-Daire

OMG this book was so fucking good! I loved every single minute of it. Daire and Cee Cee were so kick ass. From the first page I was totally engrossed in their story. Then when I found out who Cee Cee really was OMG! That just took my enjoyment of this book to a whole new crazy fan girl level.

“Um, were there a bunch of them? The ones who took you out?” “No. One woman with a syringe knocked me on my ass.” One woman. Garrett’s eyebrows rose in his hard-cut face. “A woman?” Daire growled. “Yes. Very pretty.” Garrett pressed his lips together, and his gray eyes lightened to a sparkling silver. “If you laugh, I’m going to throw you out the window,” -Garrett and Daire

Daire was seriously sexy. OMG he was a panty melter. All gruff, grumpy, organized and in control. It was so much fun watching him lose said control and embrace the chaos. Cee Cee was a total trip. She was sweet but completely wild and learning to really live life for the first time. I loved that she was strong, brave and kicked major ass. It was so funny watching Daire eat his words. He went on and on about how his mate was going to be a sweet, safe, homemaker lol. Cee Cee was so far from everything he ever thought he wanted but ended up being perfect for him.

“It’s hard to be scared of a half-naked man holding you tight,” she murmured. His hold tightened imperceptibly. “Keep pushing, and you’ll be naked, too. Then we’ll see how brave you are.” Her eyelids opened and then closed again. “I don’t think so.” “Think whatever you want, baby, but at some point in the very near future, you’re going to be spread out in front of me, all of that glorious skin revealed, and I’m gonna take my time.”-Cee Cee and Daire

“So? I’m done. Either you start talking, or I strip you naked, fuck you senseless, and then you start talking.”-Daire

Daire and Cee Cee had explosive passion. Can't wait to rip each other's clothes off, don't have time to warm it up, got to have it now, raw passion. Smoke was coming off my kindle because Diare was hot. There was nothing boring about Daire and Cee Cee. He seen the real her and didn't underestimate her and she brought fun and excitement to his life. Can I just say that not only did I love Daire and Cee Cee I did a happy dance because Zane from Marked (Dark Protectors Series) is in this book. Janie and little Hope even made a little cameo and it was awesome! This book was great and I am loving this series!

Wicked Edge is book two in the Realm Enforcers series by Rebecca Zanetti. This book was generously provided to me in exchange for an honest review by NetGalley, Kensington Books and by Rebecca Zanetti.

Where I really, really liked the first book in this series, Wicked Ride, I LOVED Wicked Edge! It was non-stop from the beginning to the end and had my heart pounding out of my chest. I loved the characters and also enjoyed seeing a bit of Kell and Alexandra from book one.

Wicked Edge, Rebecca Zanetti:

Daire Dunne is Kellach’s brother. Kell and Alex have gone to Ireland which leaves Daire and their other brother, Adam in Seattle. They are still impersonating members of a Motorcycle Gang to infiltrate the Titans of Fire Motorcycle Club. They are searching for the distributors of the deadly new drug, Apollo, which can kill both humans and witches. Daire and his brothers are witches, members of the Coven Nine, known as enforcers. They want to know who is bringing the mineral, Planekite which can be processed into the deadly drug, into the country. Daire is tired and wants this to be over. It is with this on his mind as he walks into the Titans club and spots the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Maybe tonight he can just forget for awhile with a beautiful woman. But the night didn’t exactly go as he planned.

couple on a motorcycle:

She tells people her name is Cee Cee Jones. She knew Daire would come in eventually. He was her target. He has something she needs. So on the back of his motorcycle she got and went back to his penthouse. What she didn’t expect was the effect Daire’s kiss would have on her. But she had to forget that. She needs files that she knows Daire has. So she drugs him and takes what she needs.

tough guy hotness:

Of course Daire isn’t going to let the robbery of his files go. Cee Cee didn’t expect his tenacity in finding her. And find her he did. So begins the cat and mouse relationship between these two. The sparks are flying like crazy, chemistry enough to melt my e-reader. But Cee Cee isn’t giving up anything. She can’t let him know who, or what, she really is. Cee Cee wants revenge against the one person that ruined her and her son’s lives. Not to mention, he is responsible for much of the planekite being brought into the country. She hadn’t figured Daire Dunne into the picture. This was her fight and hers alone. But the pull towards Daire is hard to resist.

“There was a danger, not quite reckless but close enough, in Daire Dune that called to her. Were they a good match? He was so complex, sweet and deadly, she wasn’t sure. It would take years, probably centuries, to even come close to understanding him. God she loved a challenge.”

As I said before, the action is non-stop in this book. But more than that, the romance between Daire and Cee Cee was so wonderful. There really was such a soft side to Daire, the side that would protect those he cares about above everything else, no matter the cost to himself. Daire doesn’t believe in fate but he really has to wonder if it could have been fate that brought them together.

“You’re a dangerous woman.”
“That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.”


Wicked Edge, Rebecca Zanetti:

I am also very intrigued with the bear shifters over at the Grizzly MC. They are allies of the Dunne’s and I wonder if they might eventually get a book or series of their own? I would DEFINITELY be on board with that!

hand on fire

This book is full from the start to the finish with sigh worthy sexy times, nail biting action and just all around awesomeness. I am most definitely a fan of Rebecca Zanetti’s and this book is a must read. I do recommend starting at the beginning of the series so you will better understand the world she has created. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Daire and Cee Cee

Daire Dunne is a badass biker, member of Titans of Fire Motorcycle Club, Irish and a witch. And he is the brother of Kellach Dunne that we met in the first book of the series. He is an uncomplicated male really, about 300 years old. He hides nothing. He loves his job as an enforcer and he hates the motorcycle club that he is working undercover in order to discover who is providing the humans with the lethal drug Apollo.

The real mystery of the book is Cee Cee. Daire will be smitten by her, when he meets her at the club. He will invite her home and there Cee Cee will drug him for the first time and she will steal some important documents.

And the game will begin.

After this first encounter, Cee Cee will run and Daire will run after her. And he will catch her. And she will run again. And he will catch her again. And she will run again. And he will catch her again etc.

There will be explosions, destruction of furniture, demolition of homes, big bangs at mines, traveling between Seattle and Norway, political games between vampires-demons-witches.
A total mess. While the main questions are two:

1. WHO IS REALLY CEE CEE? Is she a new player or someone we have already met? Is she human or other species?
2. WHAT DOES CEE CEE WANT? ARE HER INTENTIONS NOBLE?

My favorite quote in the book: "Mom?"

A true game changer... which will explain a lot.
If you have read Dark Protectors series, before the Realm Enforcers series, you will laugh a lot with the revelation of Cee Cee’s true identity.

A really great adventure book with the equal amount of romance:
The action will be nonstop.
The mating will be intense and unexpected.

“I mated you.” His voice was hoarser than hers would ever be.
She blinked, and her mouth formed a perfect O.

2.5 stars

This could be me on this one because I'm reading it after a total five star book, but I just didn't really like this.


You have hot guy who is an enforcer. (I thought this was a MC book from the cover-it isn't) He not only is an enforcer that protects his Coven..he is a witch. Different kind of witch than I'm used to though, the best I could figure is that witches in this series are able to throw fire and heal themselves.
He is fed up with life one night at the club and in walks blonde hotness. He takes her home. She doesn't give him the good time he expected though and ends up drugging him and taking some stuff he had been working on.

The woman, Cee Cee has an agenda to revenge her dead husband..etc. A baddie who happens to be a demon killed him. Demons are different too, they use mind attacks and can transport.
There is a drug that is out on the streets that kill off the humans and just happens to kill witches so that's what hot guy had been working on when he got distracted by his wiener.

Sex stuff happens. (This part wasn't horrible but nothing really spectacular)

Everyone on my friends list that had read this gave it high stars. I'm probably just a dumbass but it just didn't feel like anything new to me.

WOW! This is the BEST paranormal romance I’ve read in a long time. Wicked Edge is book 2 of Rebecca Zenetti’s Realm Enforcer series, and I have to say that it literally grabbed onto me like a Pitbull with its favorite chew toy. There was always something going on, NOT A SINGLE DULL MOMENT!

The action was EXPLOSIVE!

 photo 249_zpstaw3n4n4.gif

Rebecca did an OUTSTANDING job with the paranormal elements. She added an AMAZING cast of characters that ranged from Witches, Demons and yes even Vampires. They all have special abilities that knocked my socks off.

Daire Dunne was an EXCELLENT hero! He is a witch enforcer whose job is to protect and eliminate any possible threats. He is a SEXY alpha motorcycle, helicopter flying, fighting machine and he will do anything to keep the ones he loves safe.

Cee Cee, the heroine, was my favorite character. She was a complete bad ass and was willing to put her life on the line time and time again to keep her three sons safe from the evil clutches of Ivan Bychkov. Ivan killed her mate many years ago and since then Cee Cee had been making plans to take him out.

 photo bb4243d8-6d7f-453b-99b9-b3297c818b9a_zpsv3sftr3g.jpg

The action was not the only thing that captured my attention, the sexual tension and heat added in SCORCHED. I just love reading Paranormal romances where the H&h mate, it’s SO DARN HOT!

I highly recommend ALL paranormal romance lovers who enjoy reading an action packed and passionate read to give this series try.

Warning this book has a lot violence and I do not recommend it to those faint of heart.

Special Note; This series should be read in order.

5 - "You'll do." Stars!

After a slight characterization wobble for me with the first book in the Realm Enforcers series, Rebecca Zanetti is back to full form. She pitched Wicked Edge perfectly from every angle, the story-line, character development, plot-lines and pacing all worked to make this book the best she has released since the end of the Dark Protectors series. I will be honest and say I think that is mainly because the story and writing style really took me back to the DP days, and the inclusion of a few of my favorite DP characters into it just added something really special into the mix.

"I don't play games, sweetheart, and you've done nothing else since the first time I met you."

Daire Dunne featured pretty heavily in Wicked Ride the anally retentive brother, who had a place for, and a plan for everything. I loved that in this book we get to delve deeper into him and his motivations for things. As with pretty much all of Rebecca's men, his is uber protective, overly alpha and absolutely adorable. I loved the build up of chemistry between him and Cee Cee from the get go, and how with each and every obstacle she threw in his path he just kept coming back for more. Swoons and sighs were abound from this reader for most of the book, not just because of his whole demeanor towards Cee Cee, but his acceptance of her and the things she was fighting for and believed in (albeit begrudgingly initially).

"I sure like this side of you..."
"This side?"
"Aye. As opposed to the side that drugs me and gets me shot."


Everything took off in this book, and from the wealth of characters that Rebecca introduced on the first book and developed further in this one, I am really hoping that this series grows and expands to more than just a few books. With the inclusion of the Dark Protectors characters at pivotal points and the running of several plots through other secondary characters, Rebecca has given this series plenty of directions and avenues in which I hope she takes her imagination and her writing skills to explore further.

"No fire this time?
"...Don't need fire. Just need you."


I am happy and pretty excited for Wicked Burn which is due in June 2016, the last time I felt this good was when I was reading the Dark Protectors books, I was worried that the author wouldn't be able to bring that level or quality of story telling to the table again, especially with the depth of character, and general development along the way. My concerns were unfounded, this book blew them all out of the water and into the stratosphere.

ARC generously provided via Netgalley, it was my pleasure to provide the above honest review.

4.25 wicked wild stars



Daire Dunne wants nothing more than a break from his life, and the beautiful blond is the perfect distraction to his overly dutiful world ... only he never expected to be put on his ass, drugged and stolen from. This distraction, just proves to be much more enticing as the hunt begins, because the moment he gets his hands on her, all bets are off...

Cee Cee Kyllwood is out for vengeance, and a fool proof plan that even a sexy-wicked-as-sin enforcer can't stop. All she wanted was one night to live it up before facing her reality, but even with the truth, to Daire she is just a woman as he is a man and that is more tempting than anything else he can think up in his wicked mind.


“I’ve been inside you now, and you’ve moaned my name, so that changes things.”

Wicked Edge is the second book in the Realm Enforcers series, while it features a new couple, the over all plot is intertwined so it is best to read from the start. Plus with all the characters, you will want to get as much time you can with every one of them.

Daire is our controlled, grumpy alpha enforcer, put on his ass by a sexy sweet female. I loved the dynamics of their relationship, they were absolutely perfect for each other. Cee Cee was strong on her own BUT with the support of Daire it gave her the little extra she needed to see her plan through.

I fell in love with the world in the first book, and it keeps getting better... pulling me in deeper and just makes me want to keep reading and reading. Sexy, sweet and full of action in and out of the sheets. Recommended to my fantasy loving friends!

Happy Book Birthday

Wicked Edge is uninterrupted action, adventure and romance. A story in a world of shifters, demons, vampires and witches so exciting you won’t be able to put it down. And when it’s over you’ll still want more.
“Does anything happen in slow motion when you’re around?”

With the threat of planekite – a mineral deadly to both humans and witches – as real as ever, Daire Dunne, a three century old enforcer of Coven Nine, has been working undercover in the Fire MC to try and track the distributors of the synthesized drug. Not making any headway and captivated by a petite blond at one of Fire’s parties, he decides to put her on the back of his bike and take her home. But not even his impassioned kiss would derail her from knocking him out in order to steal important information. Unable to let her get away with it, he springs into a chase that will change his life forever.
“Her scent. That hyacinth sweet scent waft back, and his nostrils flared. Mine. Forgetting his job, forgetting formality, even forgetting diplomacy, he chased her.”

Cee Cee might not have the typical abilities of her race, but she’s smart, cunning and determined. For decades she’s been patiently and methodically planning her revenge against the man that ruined her life and nothing will get in her way. Not her family and certainly not the overprotective, badass sexy witch who won’t let up and every time he catches up, he makes her feel more alive than ever before.
“He was all fire and storm, and a part of her, a female part she’d denied for so long, wanted to feel the bluster and ride the burn.”

Drugging him over and over hasn’t discouraged him. On the contrary, he seems more determined than ever to catch her, especially when it seems that the same man she’s after is behind the planekite mining. But how would he feel if he found out the whole truth about her family and what she knows about his?
“Who knew that you’re a ruthless sweetheart with a penchant for trouble?”

This thrilling and sexy sweet story will grab you right from the start and keep you interested until the very last page. I just love this world Rebecca Zanetti has created and want to know each and every species and fascinating character.

I just love rough, bossy alpha males because the tougher they are the harder they fall. I really wanted to read about Daire because he made me laugh so much when he swore he would mate a delicate and compliant woman. I knew life would give him just the opposite and I loved how even though he fought it in the beginning, he completely embraced their bond and Cee Cee just as she is with her wild spirit.
“He wanted that wildness, needed it set free and alive around him. Nothing in him, not one inch, wanted to tame that. He just wanted to ride it, be part of it.”

Cee Cee is kind, intelligent, independent and head strong, the latter almost being her supernatural ability. I loved how unwavering she is in protecting her family and that same fierceness translated nicely into caring for Daire. The chemistry between them is instant and hotter than gasoline to fire. But the romance is even better. I just loved how the tough guy softened when it came to the wild temptress and how much she made him work for it. Come on, she drugged him three times and that’s not counting all the perilous situations she forced him into while he was after her.
“He planted his mouth over hers and swept his tongue inside, taking what he wanted. Sensation bombarded him, stronger than before. Hunger. Need. Craving. Possessiveness. Protectiveness. He consumed her, feasting at her mouth like a starving man.”

As with the previous book, I really liked reading about Garret, the bears and Logan. Like I mentioned earlier, I would jump at the chance to read about each and every one of these characters.

Rebecca Zanetti continues to write amazing, action packed, and blazing hot romances. Wicked Edge is fast paced with head jerking twists and turns and swoon worthy moments. It is book #2 in the Real Enforcers series that can be read as a standalone with a happy ending, but readers would benefit from reading the series in order.

This is one of the BEST PNR series to come along in eons! There’s action, witty banter, sexy alphas, kick-ass females with a winning combination of sexual tension and explosive confrontations of the mind. I absolutely loved this wicked read!

No mussing or fussing about. From the very beginning you are thrown into the fray. Daire finds himself giving in to temptation for the night… or at least he thinks he is. Caught unaware with the petite, beautiful female, the enforcer finds himself drugged, his pristine office and pride vandalized.

Cee Cee is on a mission, she just never counted on being waylaid by the Enforcer. She feels alive for the first time in decades, but Daire is a distraction she can’t afford if she is to finally seek the vengeance she desires.

Truly one of the best reads of 2015 for me. Don’t walk, RUN, to get The Realm Enforcers series! A must read for PNR fans.

5 STARS

Daire and Cee Cee's Story:

Amazing! I wouldn't change a thing about this book. Daire snagged my attention in book 1 and I couldn't wait to see how he would handle finding his mate. He really jinxed himself in book 1 saying his future mate would be a woman he could leave at home taking care of the family while he was out protecting the Coven Nine. I knew right then he was going to get a spitfire.

Cee Cee was awesome! I don't think I've loved a heroine more. She was strong, fiesty, fun and yet poised and mature. She fights as hard as she protects. To see Daire trying to subdue her and protect her was hilarious! This was a very fun story and also incredibly sweet. Daire's tough exterior turned to mush in unexpected moments and it made me love him more. I would give this one more than 5 stars if I could.

Freaking fantastic! Great fun, heaps of action, awesome pnr and kickass romance, I loved it!

5 stars


This is book 2 in the Realm Enforcers series. In order to fully appreciate the awesomeness that is this story, I would recommend reading the Dark Protectors series first to give you a full appreciation of the paranormal world and the people that inhabit it. This book follows directly on from the first book in this series, Wicked Ride, and features the second of the Dunne brothers – Daire. Like the rest of his family, Daire is a powerful witch and an Enforcer for the ruling body of the witches, the Council of the Coven 9. He has temporarily moved from Ireland to Seattle with his brothers to investigate the creation and distribution of a new drug, Apollo, which is deadly to both witches and humans, and which has been weaponised as a direct attack on the witch nation.

Part of his cover is as part of an MC which deals the drug, however the tie in is loose and I wouldn’t consider this an MC book. But it is at an MC party where Daire meets gorgeous Cee Cee and takes her home for the night. They are barely through his front door when she drugs him, rummages through the findings of his investigation, and leaves.

Cee Cee is a woman on a mission. She is fierce, brave and highly intelligent, but has been treated as precious and delicate for most of her life and she is now breaking out of her shell to wreak vengeance on the man who killed her mate. It turns out that her plans are very tightly tangled with Daire’s investigation, and when the furious witch tracks her down, the two of them are forced together as they continue their missions and end up in a fight for their very lives.

Oh my God, the action in this book is fantastic! It’s exciting and adventurous, and it reads like an action movie. I could see it all happening in my head while I read, and I was bouncing up and down in my chair with excitement and madly clicking my kindle pages.

And of course along the way Daire and Cee Cee bicker and banter but they are unable to resist their growing attraction, and the sexual tension between them is insane!

“Keep pushing, and you’ll be naked, too. Then we’ll see how brave you are.”
Her eyelids opened and then closed again. “I don’t think so.”
“Think whatever you want, baby, but at some point in the very near future, you’re going to be spread out in front of me, all of that glorious skin revealed, and I’m gonna take my time.”

Cee Cee initially fights against Daire, but she very quickly realises that it’s a hopeless cause and holy hell, the sexy time is sizzling! Passionate and intense, their attraction soon grows into something more as emotion becomes involved, and I love that they both just went with it, accepting their growing feelings for each other and holding nothing back. And I felt all of it!

Her last love had been calm and gentle, and she’d appreciated him.
Daire was anything but calm and gentle, and he brought out a side of her she hadn’t even known existed. A crazy, free side that just wanted to ride his wildness.

I love these two together! They are both fantastic characters on their own and together they are a phenomenal mix of determination, stubbornness, lust, and a quickly growing emotional connection, and as they get to know each other and secrets are revealed, there is a sensational twist, and I admit, I squeed out loud as it all unfolded. The love story is continually developing throughout the whole book and blends really well with the action side of things and the addition of characters from both this series and the Dark Protectors series make the whole thing even more epic as they all join the fight to bring down the bad guy and save the ones that they love.

This is SUCH a fun read! Exciting and engaging, the mix of action, adventure, sexy romance, paranormal badassery and brilliant character dynamics is so well done, I loved every minute of it.

5 stars.

This is an awesome edition to this new series that connects with the Dark Protectors. I really enjoyed the first book Wicked Ride but this is a whole new departure. Yes the cover does unfortunately give the impression of an MC type novel but it's much much more than that. A romance yes but an adventure that is non stop with characters to amaze and more importantly it is continuing the story involving vampires demons and witches that dominate the realms. This had so much going for it that I'm loathe to say too much if honest. A fabulous book that I'd give ten stars to if I could and the author swept me away with her words. If you love paranormal stories then this book will enchant, excite and above all entertain. Highly recommended

I absolutely loved this heroine, Felicity/Cee Cee! She just did it for me. She was determined to get revenge against the demon that had struck out at her years ago causing her life to veer into a direction she never wanted. When Felicity makes a plan, you can be sure she’ll see it through. Her first plan is drugging Daire Dunne in order to obtain information. Of course her plan succeeds, but not before he curls her toes in a most delicious way. Too bad she had to stick to the plan.

What follows is a madcap chase and capture, chase and capture that was highly entertaining with all of its action, humor, as well as steamy times that just kept getting steamier. While Felicity feels insufficient, she is probably one of the strongest heroines I’ve read from this author. And that strength isn’t physical, although she can kick some serious tail, but it’s in her determination to see things through, her way.

Daire has no plans to find a mate but when he does she’ll be a domesticated little woman ready to take care of her man and give him a soft place to land. Ha! Right! Yeah, we all saw the writing on the wall with that one! While Cee Cee can certainly do the domestics, she’s got things to do and revenge to fulfill.

This had lots of fun interactions between the characters with the banter always perfect and never cheesy or immature. And it’s always offset by the explosions and decapitations that take place. I’m not going to get into the actual plot of the book because there’s a lot there that just works better if you’re not aware of it going in. Not actual twists, just little ah-ha moments that keep you turning the pages.

If you’ve considered reading this series or the Dark Protectors, do it…just do it.

Wicked Edge is a high octane plot with a motor cycle riding paranormal alpha that lights these pages on fire.

Looking for some down time Daire Dune, Coven Nine Enforcer, picks up a beautiful woman to help him out with his "needs". After a passionate kiss, Daire finds himself drugged and his Coven files missing.

Cee Cee will do anything to gain revenge against the one responsible for killing her family, even leave the man that ignited a fire inside her. She never thought Daire would track her down. But now that he has, the sparks are going to fly because the chemistry between them is electrifying and goes both ways.

Holy HOTNESS Batman! It’s a really rocky road but Cee Cee and Daire team up together to take down their foe. You see it’s the same enemy that also happens to be involved with Daire’s mission to stop the production and influx of planekite.

Nail biting action from start to finish, I loved Wicked Edge

Деър Дън (Магьосник) и Фелисити/Сиси Килууд (Демон)

О, да, да, даааа. 5 звезди за любимата ми авторка.
Честно казано бях леко притеснена за тази книга, защото първата от поредицата не ме грабна чак толкова. Но явно Ребека си е върнала "мо-джо-то" така да се каже. Обожавам тази книга.

Деър е най-долемият от братята Дън. Триста годишен магьосник, част от Стражите на вещиците, той няма време за любов и свалки. Новата дрога, която се разпространява по улиците е създадена да убива вещици и той е решен да открие кой я създава и да сложи край на това. Работейки под прикритие към банда мотористи, за него е поредната вечер на "работа" да отиде в клуба където се навъртат мъжете от бандата и да се опита да научи нещо за този, който произвежда дрогата. Докато не среща нея. Сиси, красивата дребничка и нежна човешка жена, която на мига се съгласява да отиде с него в дома му.
Очаквайки една страстна нощ с младата красавица, Деър е неприятно изненадан, когато се оказва упоен от нея. Щом се събужда, той е решен да я открие, и да разбере, защо го е упоила и защо е откраднала част от информацията за мините с Фенекайт, която е пазил в дома си.



Сиси не очаква да се измъкне невредима след като изпълни отмъщението си, и тъй като е убедена, че семейството й няма да й позволи да направи това, което е намислила, тя се подвизава под фалшива самоличност и прибягва към опиати, за да извади Деър от играта. Това, което обаче не знае, е че своенравния вещер няма да остави да й се размине всичко току така. Той тръгва след нея, готов да разкрие тайните й, и да я накаже за това, че го упои и окраде.

Книгата беше адски динамична, което ми хареса страшно много, действието се развиваше мълниеносно, в единия момент бяха в Сиатъл, в следващия на северния полюс. Заедно със Сиси и Деър, бяхме нападнати от полярни мечки, преживяхме катастрофа на самолет, плувахме в ледените води на океана, ограбихме банка, бяхме нападани, отвличани и заплашвани. През цялото време книгата ме държеше на нокти. Отделно се видяхме пак със старите си познайници, със Зейн, с Келлек и Александра (която за 2те страници в които беше пак супер много ме издразни), срещнахме се с Беър и отново с Николай и Симон, за които е следващата книга. Признавам за кратко ми беше странно да възприема Сиси в тази борбена, леко луда светлина, която бе различна от всичко друго, което сме виждали до сега, а и факта, Но като цяло авторката се беше справила изключително добре със ситуацията, карайки ме да харесвам Сиси не въпреки това, коя е, а именно заради този факт. Тъй че Ребека отново се справи блестящо. Прекрасна книга <3

"He shook his head. “Lady, I trust you as far as I can throw you.” She patted his gut. “You’re all muscle, Dunne. You could throw me quite a distance.”

This is I think my third read through of this book and I figured it was about time to revamp my review, because it continues to be as good as I remember.

Our female lead is, demoness, Cee Cee Jones-- she is still everything to me.

description
Her half of this/her story is of vengence. She's been plotting and planning on taking down the man whose been stalking her for over 3 decades and has killed one of her loved ones. (There's more to it but I am going to keep this review as spoiler free as possible since it can be read as a standalone and honestly I think it's a great introduction to this world.)
Anyways, so she's basically breaking free on her own for the first time in a long time. She's been sheltered alot and she feels like it's because she doesn't have any demoness powers that her kind is known for. So she's got a bit of a chip on her shoulder. But she's young for an immortal and just wants to be wild and have fun. "Felicity turned toward him. “How do you feel about bank robberies?”

description

Enter in our male lead, witch enforcer, Daire Dunne. He's currently undercover at an MC (motorcycle club) to uncover who is selling and making the drug called "Apollo" which is made from planekite (lethal mineral to witches), when he gets wrapped in Cee Cee. Once he realizes she played him for information he's ready to catch her and find out wth she's up to. Funny thing is on his way to nab her, he continually ends up saving her instead. "He shook his head. “I swear to God, you’re one fucking unpleasant surprise after the next.”
But really we find out he fuckin loves it. 😏😏What I love about him is even after he finds out about all her baggage, and family dynamics he still sees her. He's also has enough of a wild side of his own that they call to each other as he ends up helping her on her quest to righteous justice.
"He wanted that wildness, needed it set free and alive around him. Nothing in him, not one inch, wanted to tame that. He just wanted to ride it, be a part of it."
description

I loved having a badass power couple that wasn’t crippled by the mans overprotectiveness. He was very much still an alpha male, but he was intune with the capable woman he has and doesn't try to leave her behind. “I know you’re a badass who can fight, but I need you there so I can concentrate. My weakness, not yours.” He doesn't try to take away her need to see this through, and he doesn't allow her family to box her in either. I love these two so much just a whole big chef's kiss.

TL;DR: this book is very hiliarious, charming, nicely spaced with plenty of action, and sexy. You know the usual cup of tea I like.

I skipped book 1 because a lot of my friends gave it a bad review. So I thought I would give this one a try, since it has a higher rating. I'm known to read books out of order ;)

This one wasn't bad. I wasn't wowed, but I liked it enough. It's a nice steamy paranormal, with witches, demons and vampires. Not an MC book though. Sure the hero is undercover within an MC club, but it's not really a big part of the storyline, so don't read this book if you want to read it for the bikers and their club.

The hero and heroine were oke. She was pretty kickass and didn't annoy me.....The hero was a very sexy badass witch ;)

3,5 stars from me. I had no problems reading this one, without reading the first book. So it can be read as a stand alone. I did however read a lot of reviews on book 1 so I knew what it was about :)

3.5 wickedly entertaining but not overly captivating stars. I began reading this series and loved the first book. This book was enjoyable but not as enchanting as the first book. Daire is yet another enforcer and powerful witch who happens to find love when he certainly wasn't looking. Cee Cee is attracted to Daire but poisons him and leaves him more than once.

The two find themselves drawn together while trying to dodge angry sons, dangerous enemies, and the possibility of something more. Cee Cee wasn't my favorite character but she had spunk and made me laugh. I have to admit that Daire took the cake with his attitude, sense of duty, and unwavering control. He takes things in stride so well that I must admit I'm a little jealous.

Overall, I found I liked the book but didn't love it. I know I can't always love a book and so that is fine. I do like that Adam's story is set up for the next novel quite well. Poor Adam doesn't even realize that even the best laid plans aren't guaranteed to work. What I did like in the story was how Daire and Cee Cee both had strong personalities and wouldn't let the other over take them.

Wicked Edge is book 2 in the Realm Enforcers series. While I was very disappointed in book 1 all thanks to Alexandra, book 2 just reinforced why Rebecca Zanetti is one of my top authors. First let me say that I'm so happy I never read any spoilers because I loved the surprise of Cee Cee's identity. She was definitely a badass with a sweet side. The chemistry between her and Daire was awesome. I loved watching Daire lose control. As with book 1 I'm loving the fact that the story is still continuing. I also loved all the characters from the Dark Protectors series that keep showing up. I can't wait for the next book in this series and I hope at some point Bear gets a book.

Daire Dunne is undercover as a member of the Titans of Fire Motorcycle Club. His assignment is to discover who is distributing the drug Apollo, which is deadly to both humans and witches. Daire is really an enforcer for the Council of the Coven Nine.

Cee Cee Jones is planning to save her sons from Ivan Bychkov, a ruthless demon who killed her mate. Her plan is to stop the mining of planekite, the mineral used in the drug Apollo, then to ruin and kill Bychkov. To do this she needs the files of Enforcer Daire Dunne.

Cee Cee and Daire meet in the Titans of Fire biker bar. Daire wants to forget his assignment for a short time in the arms of the beautiful blonde he feels an immediate attraction to. Soon Cee Cee is hugging Daire tight and riding on the back of his Harley. When they get to his penthouse, they share a scorching kiss and intimate touches. Cee Cee inserts a syringe and drugs him while he's trying to pull himself together. She ransacks his office and disappears with the files. When Daire recovers, the hunt is on. The files Cee Cee has stolen he must regain, and besides, he wants the hot woman who got away.

This novel by Rebecca Zanetti is the second book in the series, but my first experience by the author, and that experience was scorching. The sexual tension rises off of Daire and Cee Cee. There is also the thread of protecting family. The villain is well drawn and worthy of the heroine and hero. He is not the type of villain you-love-to-hate, but he came close. The main characters are sexy and worthy opponents. The plot and subplots we're well written. The sexual scenes are sizzling hot. There is adult language. I just wish my public library had the first book, Wicked Ride.

ARC REVIEW:
One of my favorite storylines is when an attractive, petite woman is underestimated and shocks the people around her with her smarts and kick-ass skills. Yea, I get a lot of satisfaction in that.

Cee Cee has tricked Enforcer Daire Dunn out of information. With her delicate, feminine looks, she catches his attention and drugs him for the data. She wants to find the people who are mining planekite, the mineral from which lethal weapons are being made. Daire catches up with her and manages to insinuate himself into her plans. Also, he proves that the spark between them originally is not manipulated but real.

I really like Daire Dunn’s character. He is a bit of a curmudgeon that needs to be coaxed into love. I enjoy his reluctance and ultimately, his surrender. I also like that she is an enigma throughout the book. First, she is a spy seducing Daire out of information, then another layer comes off when she reveals what she is. Finally, there is another little revelation when she discloses who she is.

This book is filled with action and adventure including a visit to the northern tundra and a gruesome attack from polar bears. It is a race to get information and stop the planekite exportation. If the planekite continues to be mined the paranormal creatures with be in peril. The villain has a personal vendetta against Cee Cee that gives him extra motivation to bring her to heel. There are a lot of details and cross over information from the Dark Protectors series. Having not read that series, there are times where the story gets a little confusing without that connection. I’d still say this is a standalone book, but I think it would be measurably more satisfying if I had read the previous series.

IN A NUTSHELL:
This particular book has even less to do with the MC world than the previous one. It’s not so much an MC book as it is a PNR with characters riding motorcycles. But still, it is a adventurous read.

*I received a free ARC of Wicked Edge from Lyrical Press via Netgalley in exchange of an honest and unbiased review*

Wicked Edge had one of the most kick-ass heroines I have ever had the pleasure of encountering! Felicity was made of steel, capable, intelligent and very strong in a fight! And of course, I enjoyed her verbal sparring with Daire as well.

I love Rebecca Zanetti's writing style and after reading the Dark Protectors series I was so excited to see more of the witches in the Realm Enforcers. This book was as hot as the first in the series and I can't wait for book three!

3.5 stars.

Another solid book featuring the eldest of the Dunne witch brother enforcers. I liked how Daire is so tolerant, given all the stuff he had to put up with Cee Cee. And Cee Cee was definitely a surprise.

This is a hard one to review without spoilers but suffice to say, I enjoyed it.

After the intro to the Dunne brothers and the carry over of the characters from Dark Protectors in book one, I was revved and ready for Wicked Edge. I found this sequel just as engaging as book one and loved that it was heavy on the paranormal with the suspense, action, and passion to make it one sizzling story.

As I mentioned, this is book two though really its so strongly connected with Dark Protectors that I would recommend getting that series and then continuing right along with the Realm Enforcers series.

Daire Dunne is busy about his mission of locating the person creating the designer drug that kills humans and witches alike. He has infiltrated a motorcycle club since they distribute the stuff, but he has yet to discover their contact. But even the organized and focused Daire needs a night off and when he sees the gorgeous woman at the club, he takes it. And that's how he finds himself drugged and his files stolen by the mysterious CeeCee who is more than she appears to be.

CeeCee knew knocking out a Covenant Nine Enforcer and stealing his files on the mine locations has set him firmly on her trail. But after meeting Daire, she's pretty sure she miscalculated and having him as an enemy isn't a good idea. But she has carefully plotted things out and will hopefully achieve her goal before he catches up. And then it won't matter.

Daire tracks down CeeCee and finds she has gotten herself into trouble and he can't believe how quickly and deadly. But he will have his answers from her- and maybe more. He is drawn to the betraying, irritating female. And then the answers start to come and he is now vested in CeeCee's wild and dangerous ventures because they seem to cross over with his own investigations. Then he learns who she really is and it goes way beyond complicated.

This one starts after the events of book one. It gets off to a quick start. It was fun how the reader knows just enough to stay with the story and slowly the twists and reveals come. The author definitely has a gift for the action-packed fight and adrenaline scenes. The cat and mouse deal between CeeCee and Daire was a bit of fun, too. I was so left sitting with my mouth open when CeeCee's real identity was revealed. Well played, Rebecca Zanetti! Loved that one and it was an interesting dynamic to romance development.

Daire and CeeCee were a sizzling pair. They are attracted, but CeeCee's lies and secrets and the trouble she stirs up keep them from acting on it for a little while. But Daire blasts right through the lies, the scheming, and the denials. He was alpha and so perfect for the slightly flaky CeeCee. He doesn't care about stuff that others sweat over and cuts right to the chase. Refreshing!

I only really had one niggle. It was the short-sightedness of the heroine. While I respected CeeCee's quest, I saw some difficulties and potential issues. She means well and has good reasons for doing what she does, but... Her lies and her naivete were two-edged. And they cut her just the way I imagined by involving others in ways she didn't think about. I liked the story as a whole so this wasn't a huge issue, but it did distract me from complete enjoyment.

The story ended on a high note, but I am eager to continue with those tantalizing story threads left dangling.

All in all, it was fantastic and had me pulled in and engaged from cover to cover. Romantic Suspense and Paranormal Romance fans who like a lot of action, intrigue, and passion should give these a go.

My thanks to Kensington Group for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

So a witch walks into the club...sounds like the start of a joke or a description of an awful woman, right? LOL What is really is, is a great story about Daire, the enforcer witch currently undercover with the Titans of Fire, and Cee Cee, a woman with a mission. Daire is instantly attracted to Cee Cee and believes she's an enhanced human. Silly Daire. Looks can be deceiving. But she's something you don't expect. When it's mentioned what she truly is, my brain immediately clicked onto the only one I remember from the Dark Protectors series. But only as a passing thought. When the full story of her identity came out, my brain shouted "plot twist." I loved it! Oh Daire, you have your work cut out for you on this one. Grab all your protective gear because you're going to need it when her family gets to you. Haha.

I loved the visits from previous characters from the Dark Protectors series and Wicked Ride, book one in this series. The storyline really grabbed my attention and left me in awe of Cee Cee's strategical mind. Daire and Cee Cee's chemistry is explosive. They are exactly what the other needs without knowing it. Daire has always visualized his future mate as quiet, laid back, blah blah blah. Yes, that perfectly describes how that kind of personality would eventually make Daire feel. He needs the feisty, adventure seeking, loving Cee Cee. As for Cee Cee, her deceased first mate (I just threw in a little hint for you) was quiet and laid back. Yes, she loved him, they had a good life together and had children (another little hint), of which are the focus of Cee Cee's world. But Daire is the bad boy that completely understands her and she loves that about him. He truly gets her and that is a priceless experience for her.

Will Daire and Cee Cee complete her mission? Will they stay mated? Will Cee Cee's children, her grown children (last hint), realize that their Mom is exactly where and who she needs to be with? What about the evidence that's piling up against Simone, the Dunne's cousin, and current council member? She's sent into hiding towards the end with Nick. Will they kill each other due to being required to spend time together or will they finally accept that their destinies are tied together? I can't wait to see what Rebecca brings us in their story next year. If I survive the wait, that is. ;-)

Review written: October 24, 2016
Star Rating: ★★★☆☆
Heat Rating: ☀☀☀☀☼

An Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of this book was received free via Netgalley for an honest review.

Wicked Edge is an explosive book, more plot driven than character driven. Daire and Cee Cee (Felicity) definitely have a push/pull that just works. Daire's ideas of a "safe haven, quiet mate" are shredded by hard-hitting, risk-taking, "I need to have revenge" Felicity.

Of course, it's Felicity who takes the lead in all the action, with Daire desperately going along to protect her (at least that's what he tells himself!). But Felicity has some interesting relatives: you know, the head of the demon nation and Zane, Sam, and Logan Kyllwood have a few things to say about their mother dating and mating an Enforcer and none of them are good.

When stuff hits the fan (and it's always hitting the fan), it's a team effort but it's really Felicity saving herself and leading the charge. I liked how hard-hitting and in-charge Daire ends up the sidekick. Felicity is badass and Daire loves it!

I enjoyed the book mostly because I loved Felicity and her badass self and how she stood up to Daire.

CeeCee that girl would try the patient of a saint, I think her man is handling things well all things considered, "she patted his gut. “You’re all muscle, Dunne. You could throw me quite a distance.” He growled , his temper really, really, really wanting out." Daire is a man of action, and has no patience what so ever, "heat flushed through him. “So? I’m done. Either you start talking, or I strip you naked, eff you senseless, and then you start talking .” In fact, that was a damn good idea. He pushed off from the wall." Daire may lack in patience but he makes up for that with the butterflies he puts in his woman and our stomach, "he smiled. “I’m sure, and right now, I’m only thinking about you. We can return to reality tomorrow. For now, let’s enjoy the fact that we’re here, in a bed, and you’re naked.” I'm loving this series meeting new characters, who are strong, sexy and alpha, I'm really looking forward to the next book.
