Tempting the Force
Not bound by law or morals, Nox Triton hunted down undesirables with the gruesome intent to kill. Cutting out evil with his own feline claws was what Nox deemed as justice. After witnessing his own tragedy and finding no one to help him fight his battles, Nox buried his pity, remorse, and sadness as deep as he could and killed any being that crossed his path negatively. Eyes dark with deadly intent, a heart of stone and with hands that were drowned by the blood of those he killed, Nox could never believe that he would ever invite anyone into his life. Until a witch with beautiful eyes and an intoxicating scent burst her way into his life. She was cunning and witty, teasing him in every way she could in a way that captured Nox and his animal. She was the opposite of Nox, yet that was the very reason he couldn’t seem the shake the sexy witch. With secrets of her own, Satin chose to play with the dark and brooding shifter, hoping that he would fulfill some of the wildness she craved in her life. Could a man who gave his personal life up to mete out justice for others, struggling with his own tragic past even look towards a future that wasn’t heading towards doom? Could Satin even trust a path at Nox’s side? Or would she eventually have to run and hideaway again to save her own life?

Nox and Satin ❤️
I loved the characters , the action and the relationships between the characters . Loved the story telling, the ending and learning Drax power .
Their was a lot of repetitive descriptions of personalities and feelings that made me skip over paragraphs.
I LOVED Satin character but She kept saying she isn’t “damsel in distress” but yet she kept being one . If it wasn’t for Nox she be a vampire slave forever (I have to admit the vampire forcing his bite on her was almost as bad as a rape scene so maybe a warning next time ) . Why put yourself in dangerous situations when you only have lip gloss and oils to save you and they only work when you can seduce someone . I least would have expected her to learn to fight since people will come for her powers . I don’t know why the brothers thought she could protect the cubs when she can barely protect herself . I really hope in the next book she can defend herself better (without draining herself ) she has lots of potential I would love to see . With the life these brothers lead I feel like they should have mates that can do more then have a smart mouth they should be able to fight and defend themselves equally to them like their mother .
With that being said I WILL still read the next book even tho Drax girl seems like another damsel in distress but I hope she surprises me and be the women he needs .

they have to add an S to FORCE now
The 3 brothers were beasts literally and figuratively. Panther shifters who were hired to kill. The law wasn’t doing anything for the paranormals so beings were running amuck and it was lawless times. But Force wasn’t the only game in town. Small time situations calls for a sneaky witch.
This was a great story with romance added to it. Nox was a “broken” protector. He witnessed a tragedy and he believes it broke him emotionally. He feels nothing emotionally except for his brothers. Satin is s one crafty and resourceful witch. Her curiosity makes her encounter the cat and the cat doesn’t share his toys once he obtains them. Her curiosity also gets her in a world of trouble and what happens as a result is very enjoyable to read. Force is always to the rescue.
Great read!

Family and happiness
This book babe had me like please don't end. The FORCE is definitely someone you don't mess with. Nox and his power had chills going through my body. Don't get me started on Satin is was exactly what Nox needed. She definitely gave him a run for his money. Loved the fact the helped the less fortunate and was all about family. I was definitely happy that Nox finally accepted that he to needed to love of his true mate. Now I'm ready for book 2, to see what adventures lay ahead for Drax and his mate.

A new series (trilogy?) from Jade Royal. I always enjoy the plot of Ms Royal’s books and this one is not an exception. It has the usual lineup of paranormal characters – shifters witches, vampires, etc. It has hot, erotic love scenes. The main characters are interesting, and have issues like normal people and Jade does a good job of world building. The storyline is new, fresh, and engaging.
Unfortunately, Ms. Royal continues to have issues with her writing such as grammar errors, incorrect word/phrase use and typos. It’s something that I overlook, to a certain extent, but it is distracting. I continue to hold out hope that Jade will start to use beta readers and or editors. My rating always reflects her writing deficits.

Must Read
Baby the force is not made to be played with. I love how they balance out each other. Nice is bae for real. This was a great read. The storyline was good and flowed really well. The police ain't worth a quarter. I was so sad when the boys died but was glad that they would have someone to watch over them. But sis that ending after nox went through out that to find his matte I can't wait for the next book in this series.

Yesss
Jade I do not know who you do it, but babygirl, every book you write is the truth. Its like you never lose your writing ability. You just keep puting out bangers. I cannot wait to see what the book is going to be like when he go to rescue his mate from the pits of hell. When I say that I think he is going to be worst then his big brother, that is what I see. Can't wait until the next one drop.

get your mate!
I’m trying not to spill all the details but I loved this book. I’m glad Satin has the family she longed for and is helping Nox overcome his demons. I was wondering what was up with Draux and that can be a pro and con gift. I can’t wait to see him further indulge in it to know the ins and outs. The 3 Cubs made me tear up but I’m happy with their outcome and someone looking out for them. Now for me to dive into the next read

This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I’m very pleased! I’m happy that Satin was able to mate and fall in love. This book was very interesting! I can’t wait to read the next book in the series to find out what happened with Drax. I would definitely recommend this series to read!

It had a good story. There were interesting elements to the plot and some fun characters. Some interesting twists on supernatural beings and their social structure.
The writing was a bit of a roller coaster. It went from: too much repetitive overwhelming detail, to: bare minimum good luck trying to read the writers mind level of information. It could definitely use a good editor. There were typos and random punctuation.
If you can get past that, it’s a decent read.

Just Wow!!
I laughed, cried, screamed, and exhaled. This was an amazing story. I haven't connected with characters like this in a long time. The isolation, family connection, and fear of love are all present in this. To top it off, they black people, yaaaasssss!!!!!!!!! Representation matters and then you for giving me characters that look like me.

I really enjoyed the magic in this book (especially once we learned more about the brothers). Satin's hair description was different to me & I really liked that as well as what she did. Her & Nox were a good couple. Seeing educated black men (Onyx) is always a plus. Drax is my fav & I'm so ready to get into his book. Near the ending of this book, two scenes made me tear up.

World building is everything.
It took me a minute to get into the writing. But, baby, once you get those voices going. You are going to enjoy yourselves, it is really well-thought-out. Oh my goodness, I can't wait for the next story.
It has more story than spice and honestly i'm not mad at that.

Oooh the Force
Lawd it's 3 of them!!! Man Nox has that hard exterior but really is a softy for the right one. Even though his little witch was sassy and smart she kept him and his brothers on their toes. Can't wait to see the next book in the series.

Can't wait for Drax's story.

Truly a masterpiece! I really enjoyed this story of Nox and Satin. Nox was such a joy to experience as he learned how to play his role in their relationship even though it went against his own self-image. And Satin the take-no-shit sweetheart that she is. I love them.

Original Storytelling
Often times, supernatural stories lean into the same tropes over and over again - especially when shifters are involved. Jade Royal keeps surprising me with new plots and abilities! It makes me want more and more and more…

Slow Beginning
Satin’s character was nerve wracking at first then she began to wear on me. I love the three brothers, Nox, Onyx and Drax. Their sibling bond was sweet. Once, everything got to going good , I couldn’t put it down. I’m looking forward to reading book 2.
