A Touch of Danger

Surviving Vihaan #1

by Elaine White

Drew’s life sucks. Saving money to escape his homophobic family is one thing, but his only paying gig at the moment is playing his father’s “only gay in the village” plus-one to every LGBT friendly business event.

Then his brother comes up with a plan. Sheffield needs someone to go undercover for his police investigation. Drew has all the qualifications: he’s gay, he has experience with exotic animals, and he’s college-aged. And he’s easily bought.

Going undercover to solve the mystery of a college campus smuggling ring was never in his plans. Neither was hot, perfect, house captain Rylee. The inside jokes about cats, animal prints, and talk of a place called Vihaan that forbids same-sex relationships, are just the tip of the suspicious iceberg.

Little does Drew know that he’s about to expose more than an illegal smuggling operation. The truth could be more lethal than he could imagine. And, despite it all, it might be his own secret past that kills him before the truth can be unveiled.

A Joyfully Jay review.

3 stars

A Touch of Danger by Elaine White sets up an alternate reality where wild cats and other species live in harmony as long as they follow the rules and engage in sex only when needing to procreate. In other words, no gays allowed. To leave this land, called Vihaan, a person must effectively give up ever taking their animal form again—unless they are a hybrid called a foame (these are more like the shifters we are used to reading about). Rylee, like some others in the house, goes through a magical door of sorts that stands between the human world and Vihaan. Once they cross, they are doomed to remain in human form until they cross back—which may or may not kill them, no one knows for sure.

If this is all a bit confusing, I will say that the author does eventually get around to telling us all about this world they’ve created, but unfortunately does so in a way that left me confused and a bit discombobulated. I felt like I was thrust into a scene without the necessary backstory to understand all the subterfuge and emotional undercurrents that swirled around most of the characters. Then a chapter or two later things would be explained and I would move on to the next confusing incident ready to wait out the author’s clarification, which always came eventually.

I wasn’t expecting to like this one so much but I’m a sucker for undercover stories. Starts of simple with Drew getting roped into going undercover and Riley opening the door to let him in. This one has dark parts but more soft dark hurt/comfort. There is a mention of rape but nothing graphic, drug abuse, and a domestic abuse relationship.

It’s a new world where shifters are either half human, made or animals trapped in human bodies. It’s pretty open with the support characters so anything could happen.

The two together was sweet, I liked how much they helped each other emotionally and the way their relationship went. I also liked the house dynamics, Lorcan and K. Favourite part was the end reunion and bonding with Selly. Really enjoyed this one.

A great start to the series! This shifter story was refreshing because it was so different.

The pull between Drew and Rylee was strong and intense. The author built up the thick sexual tension between the two guys perfectly.

The five stages of transformation felt rushed and I got a little confused at one point.

The events towards the end left me in tears. The author captured those painful moments vividly. Drew’s state of mind during his ordeal broke my heart because he was willing to do whatever it took, to keep his family safe, despite the cost.

Thanks to NetGalley for the complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

This story was surprising and unexpected. It starts out as a contemporary mystery and turned quickly into a sci-fi fantasy direction. The main characters were fully formed and had great chemistry. It was interesting to see the character quirks of all the different guys in the frat house. Even when the fantasy elements came out, they made sense in the context of the story. And it was gruesome, but well written how Drew's past tied in.

It's the first in a series, and I'm very interested to see what direction the author's going with it.

"A Mysterious, Emotional, Heart-Warming, and Hopeful Read"   

An absolutely gripping, fascinating, heartbreaking, emotional, incredibly hopeful story has taken me by storm and I absolutely loved it.  It is a story that has a little bit of everything to make it a recommended read for those who enjoy stories with mystery, romance, and..heart-wrenching moments, all with a dusting of Paranormal set within such an incredible storyline.  This story certainly kept me on the edge-of-my-seat throughout the entire read, while frequently requiring me to reach for tissues from an economy sized box, while simultaneously grasping onto my computer in desperate attempts to squeeze-hug multiple characters who I adore so much.  Wow.  This was quite the story.     

A Touch of Danger, by Elaine White, was a tremendous story.  It's storyline built from many different types of components all wrapped up into an amalgamation of excellence.  From its tasting of an Omegaverse, with a Paranormal angle thrown into it, it's storyline contains a well-thought out and surprising plot with highly-emotional triggers, with characters who come from all walks of life.  All of whom were welcomed without a single hesitation of a doubt.  This story.     

A multitude of roller-coaster types-of-emotions, filtered with needed giggle-worthy moments, have left this reader with a pleasant buzz after reading such a story.  While I admit there were some confusing head-scratching moments, moments that, in this reader's opinion, needed a bit more editing, as well as more depth and development, this storyline was stellar.  It has all of the components of a MUST READ story.  I loved so much of it, and I absolutely adored the characters, that despite needing a cold shower on more than one occasion as a result of such hot and intense chemistry, their development was one of the best.  In addition, the underling mystery which was prevalent throughout most of the story was so addicting, that the many theories that had developed, all fell by the way side as the direction of the plot ultimately had me sitting in stunned silence when it was revealed.  WOAHHH.  It's secret is one that had me bawling all over again with such high hopes leading the way for so many of the characters...     

A Touch of Danger, by Elaine White, is such a tremendous story with so many wonderful characters, an incredible storyline, a beyond addicting plot with highly-emotional and tremendously hopeful moments, that had this reader fully-entrenched within this story from the very beginning until the very end.  It will be one of those that remain floating around in my mind for a very long time.  As this was such a great story, it undoubtedly sets the stage for such an exciting new series, one that I already look forward to reading.  I absolutely loved it...:)

A refreshingly different take on the two natured. This story is built on the premise that earth is a sanctuary for LGBT shifters from a place called Vihaan that forbids same-sex relationships. Drew is angsty as heck but he has reason to be. It took me a bit to warm up to Rylee but eventually he one me over. This is a terrific start to a new series. I love the world building and am looking forward to more adventures Surviving Vihaan.

An entertaining read, well-written, with a lot of wonderful, diverse characters.
The world-building is original and very detailed, well thought out, but some of the mythology and its consequences were a bit too sad for me and took away a little of the magic & escape I look for in a shifter romance. There’s an unfairness, a haunting lack of possibilities and a point of no return aspect to the world of Vihaan that broke my heart a little for the characters.
I didn’t like the way in which the “villains” were portrayed, just too one-dimensional and not that intriguing. I also found it hard to understand that Rylee would have been so oblivious, and for so long, to the true nature of one of them.
The draw between Rylee and Drew is intense and immediate, but their actual relationship flounders a little sometimes and could have been a bit more developed. A lot of the focus goes to Drew finding his place with the Vihaan expats so to speak, and discovering who they are, which is interesting and fun to read, laying the groundwork for coming books in the series.

This unfortunately didn't work at all for me.

The plot interested me, but the rest just felt awkward.
Dialogue was unnatural and awkward, which made the weird hot-and-cold blossoming romantic subplot uncomfortable and stilted. A lot of things didn't make sense or directly contradicted each other, particularly Drew's background and what he tells the house mates about himself. All the stuff around Vihaan was confusing because I couldn't tell how the shifting fit in and if Drew suspected anything because any sort of world-building was missing.
I was also confused by the characters' ages. I'm not an expert on the US school system, but 25 and 30 doesn't seem to be usual college age, and it further didn't fit with the characters' backgrounds.

While I would like to know how the entire police investigation ends and how things turn out with Drew and Vihaan, A Touch of Danger failed to make want to keep reading when its writing made it unappealing to me.

I received an ARC and reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

I liked that this book had a different take on shifters, but i did think the world building was a little inadequate and i ended up filling in blanks with assumptions about shifters from other books (I read a lot of this sort of thing). I liked Drew and felt his back story was explained well, but i didn't get the same connection with Rylee, which spoilt their romance for me. Not that it was particularly romantic, they seemed to jump from lust to you're the one for me in no time. The story line was quite good - up until the final confrontation - i agree with another reviewer that Drew was TSTL confronting Aniel and the recording bit was just odd. All in all, the book just didn't grab me enough to look for the next in the series.

[Veronica of V's Reads · Rating 2 out of 5]

Drew is a mid-20s out gay man who's been shunned by his homophobic family for years. The only reason a recent reconciliation was made was because his wealthy and powerful father required a token gay attendee at work events. Having supported himself and his education by scraping by--and surviving an abusive D/s relationship--Drew is amenable to a bit of familial support, even if it comes with ties. Right now, he's earning it going undercover for his brother Sheffield, a detective investigating a college frat for exotic animal smuggling. Drew is the perfect mole to discover if the gay frat brothers are keeping or selling big cats on the black market; he's worked in zoos rehabilitating abused felines and is seeking a graduate degree in veterinary science.

Drew turns up on the doorstep of the frat and is welcomed on a temporary basis by the house captain, Rylee, who also offers him a spare bed in his own room. It's a weird night with an inconvenient attraction and a blatant invite for sex from Rylee who manages his attraction to Drew in an awkward display. Yeah. Weird. In the next days, Drew is invited to stay more permanently, especially as Rylee senses that Drew has a secret lurking beneath his skin. Drew's attempts to uncover the smuggling operation yield more questions than answers--and a tighter bond with his new house mates.

This was meant to be a mystery, I think, with the investigation that Drew is hatching, but his answers don't make sense--lot many of the plot points. Drew learns that many of his housemates are refugees from a realm called Vihaan, a land where people are cat shifters. These men have arrived in the human realm because they couldn't conform to mating females, and same-sex matings are illegal in Vihaan. Before escaping Vihaan, Rylee had a male lover, who conveniently turns out to be the same Dom who had kidnapped Drew, kept him in a drug-addled state, and raped him. Now in the human realm, Rylee and his compatriots cannot shift, but they still have cat DNA, which keeps the cops returning to the house looking for animals. Rylee is nervous that Drew's experience with a Vihaan on Earth will lead to Drew developing cat abilities.

Drew's afraid that his brother will come into the house and arrest Rylee and the rest of the Vihaan refugees. It's a likely scenario, even if there isn't evidence of any smuggling going on. The residents are all aliens, with false documentation and there are some shenanigans with recently arrived Vihaan that is highly incriminating. This also setting aside the Vihaan's distant relation Foame brethren who live in-house and CAN partially shift.

The story was really confusing, and relied so heavily on convenience that I got distracted easily and wasn't satisfied with the mystery plot the blurb hinted at. The tension was low, the sexytimes were awkward, and there was a LOT of explanations to sort out the other frat house members and their plights--definitely hinting at future stories way too hard. In all, I found it incomprehensible as either a mystery or a romance. The characters felt stereotypical and the love story forced. Drew found everything way too fast, with little difficulty and zero tension. Rylee was creepy-weird and his antics extra strange. Despite the repetition and over-description issues, I still felt like I didn't understand the hows and whys of Vihaan, and how these refugees managed to finance the charity work they did to support other Vihaans in this realm. I didn't think that Drew was touched by danger so much as disaster.

When this novel opens, Drew is sick of pretty much everything. He's tired of trying to live up to the standards of his family. His father isn't supportive of Drew being Gay...unless, of course, there's an important business event that requires a show. His brother? Same story. But when Drew's brother requests his help with a case in a frat house that may be trading in exotic cats, Drew signs up. He's always had an interest in animals in spite of his father disapproving, and this will get him out of the house.

Drew doesn't count on meeting Rylee when he arrives at his undercover assignment. There's a spark-tactic insta-connection between Drew and Rylee. In fact... if Drew were the kind of guy who believed in strange things... he'd be certain he saw Rylee's eyes flash red when they first met.

It turns out that this frat house isn't at all what Drew's brother though it would be. I'm sure I'm not giving anything away at this point... the frat house is a shelter for were cats. Now, there's the part where things get interesting. White has come up with something I know I haven't read before. These cats are from another world... Vihaan. The issue is that once they leave Vihaan, their cat retreats within them and they can't transform anymore.

There's some really cool world-building going on in this novel. I am hoping that the series is going to branch out into the world of Vihaan. There are some very cool differences between the cats of Vihaan and cats in other books I have read. I'm not going to lay it all out here because I want you to be able to read it and enjoy it.

Drew and Rylee are a great couple. They are drawn to each other for reasons that will become clear as you read. It's intriguing and not nearly as straightforward as I thought it would be going in. I really liked Rylee - part-psychologist and part-house dad. He's a lovely character.

Drew has a complex background. He's definitely had more tan his fair share of abuse and pain in his life. His family isn't supportive at all and he had a terrible relationship in his past. It was a relationship that left him with physical and emotional scars.

In short, I really enjoyed this novel and would definitely pick up a copy of the next one in the series!

Possible triggers: mention of rape, addicting of drugs, abuse, beatings, kidnapping younger kids, warped BDSM scenes
I was really impressed with this book and the start of this series. I like the characters and the truth behind it and how they helped others. And I love how Drew finally has a family after the way his own has treated him.
Drew has a past that haunts him everyday. Whether it be from what his father and mother have done to him, even his brother, to the time when he finally came out as gay and is being used a pawn in his father’s political and job related gains. Add in an abusive ex-boyfriend and you’ve got someone who is ready to run far away. But his brother is more or less forcing him to do a job for him. Infiltrate a fraternity and find out if they are moving exotic animals. Especially cats. But as he gets to know the ‘captain’ of the frat, Rylee, he finds out he can’t betray them. He finally feels like he’s found a home where he belongs. And when he finds out the real truth to everything, he has to come up with a way to get rid of his brother or lose the only family he’s even really had.
I hated what Drew had to grow through. I know they say that things we go through make us stronger, and I guess in a way they do, but it doesn’t mean the process doesn’t stink to epic proportions. And he had a lot to go through. But what I loved, is the way the guys just accepted him, even though they had every reason to not trust him. And technically, they shouldn’t have. Drew told the truth, and was so torn about everything, it was crippling him. And the guys just surrounded him with love and friendship and acceptance. Something he’s never had. It took a while for Rylee to really accept Drew, but I can’t blame Rylee either. He was badly hurt himself. And when Drew and Rylee find the connection really between them, it’s shocking. But he has a new life and new friends and family and it makes all the difference for these guys. Because all of them at some point, know the feeling of what Drew has been through or going through.

Disclaimer : I received an ARC of this book in exchange of an honest review.

This book was unexpected, unfortunately not in the best way possible. I read paranormal romances or romances in general to put me in a good mood, to read a love story where I know for a fact that my OTP (one true pairing) will end up together.
I went into this novel not knowing much about it which did make it a lot better than it would've been otherwise.
I loved Drew and how he is willing to do anything to keep his family safe, I enjoyed the romance overall though Rylee was way too oblivious at times and that felt unrealistic because of how he is presented and portrayed the rest of the time.
Another good thing was the unique take on shifter romance, and shifters transformation. While it was unique, it was also confusing and I felt like I was jumping in the dark following the author who had forgotten to explain a lot of how things work during the transformation stages which left me confused and feeling like I had skipped a chapter or two. It was also a heavily packed book, honestly a bit too sad at times for me. The cover made me believe this would be a happy, cute romance. What I got was an insta love with a rocky relationship at times, sad moments and devastating consequences.
This is not a "I will escape to an happy place reading this" kind of book. That being said, overall it's not a bad story, the world building was well done for the most part.
In the end it is not a story I will pick back up to read favourite moments or parts of it.
If you are looking for a unique take on shifters and an emotional rollercoaster of a book I recommend this, if on the contrary you want cute moments with a fluffy happy ending then don't pick this up !

Touch of Danger is the first book in the Surviving Vihaan Series by author Elaine White. This story is unique, captivating, and has so many twists and turns. I loved this story. I truly hope with all my heart there are more books in this series. This story is one where if you blink you will miss something really important. Just when you think you know how the story is going bam! You are going in a new direction.
Drew when we meet him, he is a loner. He is angry all the time. He is coming off being abused both mentally and physically. He has a ton of healing to do.
Rylee is sweet, kind, giving, and he too is coming off of being hurt. I loved his strength. He has such a huge heart for someone in his position and he continues to help others.
Overall, there are some things in this book that a sensitive reader might find objectionable. There is abuse, and at one point fairly graphic. I found it was necessary for this storyline. I loved the character’s chemistry it is off the charts. I loved the who dun it nature of this book. So many things I loved about this read. I cannot truly wait for more. I will be in line to find out what happens next.

First off, I am rating this book a 4.4/5. It is good and I enjoyed reading it. At first, it was a little confusing but I am glad I continued reading because it made more sense as I read more of the book. Drew is gay man who is an embarrassment to his family no matter what he does. He tries very hard but the results don’t match his efforts. His brother is s policeman who needs his help on animal trafficking case in a frat house because of Drew’s experience and education. The money is enough that will help Drew leave town. Drew meets the the frat house captain Rylee and there is an instant attraction. Rylee welcomes home into the home. Rylee keeps his distance from Drew. Yet Drew cannot find anything pointing to animal trafficking in the house and he begins to form familial feeling for the guys there. Drew gets sick and he learns that he is now a shifter. Rylee has a lot of explaining to do and Drew has to stall his brother. But in the midst of all of this they learn of a danger that will affect a lot of people and only Drew can stop it. But he will need Rylee to be there for him. The two men will need to have some open and candid conversations to stop the bad guy and make their relationship work. Again, this is a good book.

Honestly this book was just pretty confusing, it didn't seem to know where it wanted to go and while the concept was unique it just didn't grab me.

Vihaan sounded rather odd and gives off that they're basically sentient animals, that became human when they crossed over to our world.

But then they can't shift again and if they come here they can't go back. Except some seem to be able too, and the whole frat house but some are in their 30s been there years..

The way people turned, the various stages and marks it was just all very weird and I mean shifting stories has some crazy stuff but this seemed another type. A lot just didn't add up and I kept waiting for things to connect for me, but it just never happened.

Its got some interesting ideas and I didn't hate the writing, but it struggled to grab me and I'm not invested enough to continue.

[Fay MMBookworm · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great start to the book. I loved Drew's character as he got me into the book. Drew was knowledgeable about the species but doesn't have a clue what's right in front of him or what's about to happen. Drew has a past which comes in to play at the halfway point. Rylee's part in this is a little deceptive with sercets in play all around. Smoking hot sexy scenes included. The ending has some violent drama scenes but it all works out in the end for a HEA.

When Drew's brother asks him to help a police investigation by going undercover at the collage. A gay frat house was suspected of smuggling exotic animals.
Rylee was the leader of the group house welcoming those who specially needed help specifically cat shifters coming from the other world.

It took me a while to get into the story. It might have to to do with the fact that for me as a reader things were undefined f.e what is Vihaan?The way of mating. It took a while before those thibgs became clear to me as a reader, it might just be me, that bothered me. However on the other hand I enjoyed the concept of a planet/ universe which is so different and yet the same in so many ways nearby and I am totally onboard with these gentle men who created a safe space for all. I also feel for some of the Vihaan who had such a hard time to adjust and the men from who where turned without consent.
I am however straight on to book teo to find out what happens next and with whom.

I kibdly received a copy of this book and leave my honest review.

[Coltostallion · Rating 3 out of 5]

From almost the beginning I was never able to get over the "frat house" labeling. Maybe frat houses work different in different areas, but long term residents seem to be entirely contrary to the point. With the UK style spellings maybe it's a Canadian frat house and the system is entirely different, but it just felt weird to me. There was a lot I was confused about and things that just didn't really connect. The ex was one aspect that I didn't understand at all, as well as can they go back or not? It sounded like they would die, but it also sounded like the ex went back and forth at some point? I was just confused a lot.

[Julie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn't know much about this going in and was super excited for some paranormal-mystery-romance. The premise sets us up anticipating some undercover action between Drew, a naive struggling college student, and Rylee, an alpha type fellow student.
This started off relatively well, but it did not keep my attention long. Some parts seemed a bit too juvenile and unrealistic for my tastes. Granted the plot is paranormal in nature, but even with that in mind, it was too much for me. Unfortunately this was not a good fit for what I was looking for at the time.

[Diane Dannenfeldt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Trigger warning discussion of extreme domestic violence/abuse. A pretty good start to a new series & I can't wait for more. We have a completely different take on shifters in this one & I really enjoyed that. The true "shifters" come from a place called Vihann, which is like an alternate universe, where they are in their animal forms. When they are exiled to our world, they shift into human form & are unable to take their animal form again, even though they can feel them. That made me very sad. Also, once they have crossed over they can never go back, except for a special type of shifter who can cross back and forth without any problems or issues. To say Vihann is homophobic is an understatement. Rylee has been exiled to our world because he is gay. He opened a safe harbor for others of his kind in a frat house on campus. Drew's family are douches, his father trots him out to events to show how homo accepting he is, when he isn't. His brother doesn't show him any real love and only uses him to help his case. Sheffield is investigating a possible animal smuggling operation being done out of the frat house. He asks his brother to go undercover and get into the house & find evidence. What we then have is watching Drew & Rylee open up their hearts and grow to trust each other. Also Drew slowly becomes friends with the others in the house. I'm glad that Drew didn't have a huge freak out when he finds out what they truly are. Plus there is a surprise with Drew that I loved. When we find out what is really going on and the extent that someone from the past plays in it, I never saw what was really going on, coming. Sheffield does show Drew that he really cared for him and that made me happy.

I loved Drew, Rylee, and the rest of the guys. I was amazing watching Drew and Rylee talking and hearing each other but having two totally different conversations, I was just waiting for the truth, on both sides, to come out.
