Heroine spends quite a bit of time thinking about and seeking out a ONS. While she does not get to leave with a man, the story did not make me want to continue. I think if I had read book 1 I may have been better prepared with the plot.

An excellent second book

I enjoyed the first book in the series, but I think this just became my favorite so far. Niko is a true alpha male, but with so many worries. Dee is entertaining as she decides what she wants and deserves. She is more complex than Rena, and more believable.

Absolutely A Very Addictive Book

Loved the book, full of intrigue and action as well as the softer more sensual side of relationships. Love how they work together, reading the words give a good picture in your mind, like watching a film, loved it from beginning to end. Can't wait to start reading the next book. Exceptionally written.

I really loved this book. If you are looking at this review, make sure you've read Aran (book 1 in the series first). You get a bit more backstory on the Created and you get to see Niko and Dee fall for each other. The overarching plot line continues.

There are a few fiddly grammatical/editing issues, but for me I was able to overlook them in the broad scheme of things because the story is so fantastic and the characters are so real. Moving on to Sergey next so I can remember what happens next.

I like this series. This is book two and Niko and Dee's story.

These books from what I have read so far are going to be the journey each brother takes in finding his mate. The journeys though are going to be different for each brother.

Dee is Rena's best friend and Rena is Aran's, Niko's brother, mate. When the mad man after Rena kidnaps Dee to get to Rena, Dee is poisoned with a poison that will deteriorate the mind. Now months later Dee cannot sleep and spends the nights walking the dark streets because she knows there are monsters out there now and they come out in both the day and the night. She also knows, even though she can't see him, that Niko is there watching over her and protecting her. She and Niko's journey started the day she was hired on a Dare and he met with the new hires and they locked eyes. They have yet to act on this because Niko hasn't let it to go any further because he is hoping she'll be his mate and it isn't his turn yet. Or so he thinks.

Like Aran, Niko has to reveal himself to Dee and considering what she's been through he is scared to now. That choice is all but taken out of his hands though and the fact that he botches it when it does happen puts more distance between them.

I don't want to tell you too much because I feel like that will ruin this book for you but just know that what was started in Aran's book isn't finished and the brothers and their mates will have to join forces to help find out what is going on and stop it before their secret comes out.

Thanks to the Author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. On to the next book.

Give me more of this type of book. Dee has been working for Dare brothers for years, unbeknownst to them and her she is mate to the third Dare brother Niko. In their world things work in order. Aran being the first brother found his mate in Rena, Dee's best friend. In Aran, Niko had laid claim to Dee when Rena and Dee first visited Aran's home. Upon hearing Dee had been kidnapped Niko went crazy. Dee had been kidnapped by one of the Created. When they recovered her Dee was not the same, her mind kept revisiting her ordeal and Niko became her silent and invisible protector. Dee could never see him but she knew that he was there.

Okay, these girls have a thing about running from what they have requested to see. First Rena runs to the bathroom and Dee runs to the closet to hide. I laughed so hard that I cried. Dee shares the brothers love for cars. The one common factor in all the books is Dante, although not one of this set of brothers Dante is like Aran and his brothers.

Will the other brother find their mates? Will the Created succeed in destroying the Dare brothers and their mates?

Not another series.

Even thought I hate series with a passion, I gave this five stars for the well written script the character development and the twists and turns she takes. Even thought this is a series each book is written in such a way that the people it is conveying, have an entire book without the cliff hanger regarding their lives. Just the fact that someone is after the "family". I sincerely hope the series won't last for fricken ever. That this menace will be thwarted soon and each book after that will be an entire book in itself. It can be frustration and irritating to have the same enemy after them through the entire group of men that need to find mates. Rather than a series it can be done in a better more satisfying way. The way the author writes would certainly stand up to this way of writing.

Absolutely freaking Amazing

This was one of the best series I have read in a while!! Sexy, hot, totally make your panties wet, aliens, who are on earth and looking for love with their only true mates. Then throw in a twisted bad guy who could be human....or not, hmmmm the adventure and suspense, action and adventure, along with all the smoking hot love scenes.... let's just say I was instantly hooked and had to keep reading from the first page of book one, and Ill be buying every SINGLE book by this author as long as they are all this amazingly great!! Totally worth your time and money to add to your library. I will read over, and over, and over, and over, and over... lol!! :)

Love/hate the foundation of Nikon and Dee

This story starts off a little differently than the last. Dee, our heroine, and Nikon, our hero, start out as antagonists. While we meet up with them in the story of Rena and Aran, they spend their time glaring and sniping at each other. However, that begins to change and the romance begins. Woven throughout are the efforts of the bad guys to kill the .....no, that would ruin the story for you. So, take a chance and get this one to read. There are five brothers and soon
to be five stories to tell. If the last in the series are as good as the first, you will thoroughly enjoy this book.

Niko and Dee seemed like a great match. It started off a bit like he was stalking her, watching her every move and making sure she was okay. He is one of the brothers of the created. Dee is spunky vibrant woman who has an extensive history of abuse at the hands of her mother and her mother's random lovers. I will not give away anything else, but I will say that I enjoyed how Niko was patient and loving with Dee, he gave just right amount of both in order to allow her to open her heart. I am looking forward to reading about Sergey's story.

Good story

But choppy dialogue .
I needed a bit more romance to overlook the poor editing.
Also , It's ok to use contractions. It sounded so silly every time a character said " I am ...
I am .... Whatever ! It was stilted and too formal for the two american girls .
Maybe it's just me
However, I'm looking forward to Sergey's story

This one was better!

The story line and characters were decent. The editing was quite a bit better with fewer mistakes. The editor still needs to stop relying just on spell check though.

It was an ok tale, a bit scatterbrained and in need of an editor to check grammar and flow.

A Great Read

While I loved the hero, I will say it took a little while for the heroine to grow on me. Still the sex was hot and the story full of action.
