The loss of control. The fear of desire. Allie always thought that mysteriously sexy rancher Caleb Johnson wanted her as much as she wanted him. But since he never acted on it, she was ready to admit defeat. Until the night she was attacked by a vicious wolf, only to be rescued by another. In the triumphant, bloodied male, there was something Allie recognized—the baritone growl, the mesmerizing eyes, the inexplicable animal attraction. Her savior was Caleb. A rogue vampire living with his three equally rogue brothers and the McClaren werewolf pack, Caleb never wanted to bring the woman he secretly desired into his dark and dangerous world. But when she's targeted by his enemimes, his only choice is to protect her. But how can someone as alive, as vulnerable, as human as Allie survive in the shadows with him?

"Caleb and Allie are a perfect match. Are they perfect? No, just perfectly suited for each other. The Johnson brother's,not to mention Derek and the rest of the weres bring a lot to the table. Just enough arrogance,paired with deep rooted loyalty for friend and family alike to make you willing to overlook the caveman aspects of their personalities. Can't wait to see more of these males meet their matches at some point. The sparks will fly, I'm thinking."

— Romantic Times" Really enjoyed this book as the first of the series. "
— Losa, 2/19/2014" So bad it was actually pretty good. "
— Heather, 2/15/2014" 3.5/5 for this book. It just wasn't as good as I hoped. "
— Jamie, 2/12/2014" Really should've gave more weight to the other reviewers. This is a far cry from some of her other books. It loses focus in the middle and doesn't find it again until towards the end. I also had a lot of trouble even following some of the scenes. It read like a scatter-brained person trying to tell a story and not telling it well. "
— M., 1/21/2014" It was a mixed read - some I enjoyed, but it was not fantastic. "
— Tami, 1/13/2014" The book started interesting, and then got boring and repetitive. Will probably read the next one just out of curiosity even thought I already have a pretty good idea of how the story will go. "
— Dima, 12/25/2013" Found this hard to get through, her books are usually awesome. I had to make myself finish this one. "
— Lisa, 12/16/2013" Caleb is right on the edge of good Alpha/bad Alpha behavior. I loved the sass that Allie has and the dialouge between them was a hoot! I laughed out loud in a few places. Can't wait to read Jared's book next. "
— Cynthia, 11/6/2013" Defiantly a new twist to the vampire world, but I always love sexy cowboys "
— Val, 8/28/2013" I tried, I did...but around Chapter 8 of let me distract her with sex I had to pick up another book to read and just haven't had the desire to pick this back up. For me to not finish a book, or even a mediocre series is a big thing, I'll normally read it just for the sake of reading. "
— Morgan, 8/15/2013" I really didn't like this book at all. I can't finish it. characters are whiney and repetitive... ugh i just can't do it. "
— Lauren, 7/25/2013" I really liked the storyline and the characters. The romance was pretty good and steamy. The writing was a little harder to read since they had a thought after every comment. "
— Kris, 6/30/2012" Did not like the characters much.I am a little curious though about the brothers. "
— Amy, 6/11/2012" I hate giving poor reviews, but this was really lame. I listened on audio and I think the performance made a lame story even worse. Weak plot, cliche lines, trite dialog and dumb, totally stereotypical characters. Skip it. "
— Christina, 6/8/2012" Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! I would have given it 4 and a half stars if I could. Caleb, mr sexy southern vampire, and sassy stubborn Allie. It was a fabulous read, something I would take enjoyment from reading over and over again. "
— Jessica, 4/28/2012" Way too much sex. Story line was ok. "
— Dawn, 3/21/2012" It only gets one star cause I can't give zero. I'm sorry this book was just plain old bad I will not be continuing with this series "
— Joie, 8/26/2011" Blah. Nothing really happens in this story. Very boring "
— Nicci, 7/4/2011" It was not really a very gripping story. I kept on reading because I hoped something would happen. Unfortunately only right in the last 2 chapters or so but to me it was too late to make this a great book. Not sure if I will read the next books in this series "
— Bine, 6/16/2011" Way too much sex. Story line was ok. "
— Dawn, 3/8/2011" I loved it! Cowboy hero........ strong female. Steamy! What more could I want? "
— Connie, 3/2/2011" Found this hard to get through, her books are usually awesome. I had to make myself finish this one. "
— Lisa, 1/24/2011" This was closer to a five but didn't quite make it. There was a scene involving hero's brothers and their attraction to the heroine. That part of the story bothered me which brought it down a notch. "
