I stumbled upon this superb little PNR series
by chance and it quickly became engrossing.
Unfortunately I have read all of the novellas (1 to 7) in such quick succession that
they have all melded into one long book in my head so I don’t feel like I can
write my thoughts on each book individually.
The series as a whole is very entertaining and enjoyable, it
is fast paced, action packed, sexy and filled with sarcastic and witty banter. You really get involved with the characters
and I felt like I knew them. You have
awesome battles in each book and some rather steamy sessions both of which are
sure to set your pulse racing.
These books are very easy to read and are ideal to pick up
when you want to lose yourself in a book that you don’t have to think too hard
about. I was a little miffed, upset and
mortified when I realised that book 7, Jonas, was to be the last in the series,
however the author, K F Breene, has announced that she will write more! (Awesome)
Thank the gods - for one horrible moment I thought we wouldn't be hearing a story for Charles! And that just would not do - although I did thoroughly enjoy Jonas' story!
Now the warning - these are definitely books for 18+ some more sensitive readers may be offended by some of the content.
The first book in this bestselling series, Into the Darkness, is FREE!

She sees things in the darkness that no one else can see. Mysterious men cloaked in shadow, moving through the night. The problem is, pointing out invisible people is a fast track to a padded cell.

Until one night, everything changes. She and her boyfriend, Jared, find themselves stranded on the wrong side of town. Suddenly, the men she was convinced were hallucinations, are very real. And very dangerous.
As a new world opens up around her, she meets him. The Boss. An alpha leader who entrances her mind and tugs on her body. Primal and sexual, his people have a different set of rules. And they don’t always play nice.
As danger rises up around her, her differences may be the only thing that saves her life. She must embrace what she’s tried so hard to hide, while resisting the person her body craves most. Sasha has finally found her shadow men, and they will change her life forever.
