As heir to the Reynard Clan, vampire Francesca "Flare"
Reynard has agreed to give her mother and Matri what she
wants: grandchildren, but she plans to do it via technology
rather than biology. However, her mother would prefer a
more organic solution and enlists the steaming hot Prime
Tobias Strahan for help.
Seducing Flare has been on his agenda, but with the current
Matri's full support, politically and personally, Tobias
could hardly say no. In the midst of a multi-magical war,
they don't have time to be emotional, but Flare and Tobias
have difficulty not giving their bodies, and their hearts,
what they want.
A page-turner, the exposition is well-crafted, so one won't
feel adrift when dumped in the middle of the series. Lots
of layers of storytelling make this an interesting tale
where the ratcheting romance heightens an intricate plot.
Bestseller Susan Sizemore pens a sizzling new Primes
romance set in her thrilling contemporary paranormal world.
Tobias Strahan leads the elite vampire squad known as the
Dark Angels, protecting the city's paranormal denizens. It's
the perfect job for an unbermacho Prime...until clan heiress
Flare Reynard stirs an obsession in him that refuses to
fade.
Flare has every intention of providing her clan with
children - on her own terms. That means a donor and a
clinic, not a wild tumble with the most potent Prime of them
all. Flare's mother, desperate for a grandchild but
dissatisfied with her daughter's path, makes Tobias an
intriguing proposition he can't refuse.
Soon, it is clear that Flare is nothing like the spoiled
princess Tobias assumed she'd be. She is smart, wickedly
funny, and loyal. Tobias realizes that she is what every
Prime searches for - his bondmate. Flare keeps telling
herself it is a mistake to get close to a warrior like
Tobias, since their searing connection puts her heart, his
loved ones, and their entire world at risk. But logic is no
match for their fierce, instinctive desire - the most primal
instinct of all.
