Long and Short Reviews
Ryker worked hard for the Severin Familia and protected his little brother, River, as best he could. But when River goes off the deep end Ryker knows there’s no going back. Taking care of Skylar was a double edged sword. To Ryker she was an angel, innocent and pure and it was instinctive in him to protect her. Yet Ryker didn’t want to bring Skylar into his dark and dangerous world. While Sky tries hard to set her life on a different course, she eventually has to admit that Ryker is the only man for her. Can she convince him to stake his claim on her? I found this to be an intresting and character-driven sexy story. I was pleased the author took some time to introduce both Ryker and Skylar’s characters as this gave me time as a reader to get invested in them. This also helped me not feel like they were rushed together into their sexual relationship and skimp on the plot. Once Skylar returns to the city – all of Ryker’s patience is at an end and their relationship progresses pretty quickly. I did like, though, how the rest of the familia didn’t fade too far into the background. While a quick and short read, I felt the characters here really shone. Interesting and complicated Ryker and Skylar in particular didn’t feel like cookie cut-outs. For my tastes, I feel there could have been a bit more descriptiveness in the sex scenes, but overall I thought this was a well balanced story with sex, interesting characters and a good level of plot. I’d happily read more by this author.
