Hard Case #2
Quench
Alek is cursed. A tiger and lion mix, he also feels vampyre bloodlust. Finding a mate will require finding someone to sate that bloodlust and it has become increasingly clear that the two cats who live beneath his skin are outrageously, unbelievably picky. Then he meets Viviana, one woman who ignites a fierce fire in his soul. Viviana, a vampyre warrior, is shocked to come face-to-face with a creature who can turn her cool blood into a molten river. Her powers stolen, she has to count on the cat for everything—blood, even her life and when they’re together she becomes a wildcat in his arms. Viv wants Alek as her own, and no one, not even Alek himself, will stand in her way. This is a previously published novella that has been enhanced.

Favorite Quotes:
Lightning fast, he reached over his shoulder and grasped the stranger by his head and flipped him onto the floor. The tip of Alek’s knife now pierced the other’s neck and drew blood.
“Unless you want what you just had to be your last meal, I suggest you don’t put your hand on my balls again.”
“Get your ass off me and I’ll be glad to oblige. Fuck, never mind, your cock feels pretty damn good right where it is.” A slender body pushed up against him.
She continued down the hall and into the bar, taking a seat. Her eyes followed Alek.
Viv visibly shuddered when he gazed her way, sending an icy chill down her back.
The cat walked through the room and out the front door.
“Shit.” She’d looked forward to knowing the cat better.
“Are you prep

Alek is a tiger a lion mix but he also feels the vampyre bloodlust. His bloodlust is for a man who is his prince and unless he can find a mate that will accept him as he is and except that fact that he must have the blood of the prince. But what he didn’t expect is Viviana, she is vampyre warrior and when they both meet they are drawn ared for what will happen if you cage that tiger?”
He shifted his body and faced her head-on. “I tried to protect you.” His chest puffed out as he sucked in air. “Your power will eventually return but I don’t care about that—I don’t want you to leave. I want you to stay here.” His eyes gleamed with lust and he never looked away. “Be with me.”
to each other. Will his cats be tamed by Viviana? Or will Alek tame Viviana?
This is a different story for me but it was good. It had moments where you had to figure out what was happening but when you did it was worth reading. I even laughed in some parts.

This paranormal novella is a mesmerizing quick read pulls at the heart. The author combines lots of intriguing powerful characters that the reader wants to know more about with interesting story concept and lots of hot and steamy pleasure to captivate the reader. I don’t know if she plans on writing more involving the Kind, but I certainly hope so.
4 ½ STARS
