TAMING THE FIRE
Sydney Croft

Reviewed by Mandy Burns

Romance Suspense | Romance Erotica Sensual

The Agency for Covert Rare Operations (ACRO) is doing their best to bring in those who are in eminent danger to themselves and the public by convincing them to join their forces against Itor, the hated nemesis who uses the special talents of others for evil. Trance is an individual agent with a gift special to ACRO; his ability to hypnotize through his eyes and his extreme strength make him extremely valuable. In his next mission, he is to accomplish the impossible; gain the confidence of a rogue Itor agent that has been on the run and trusts no one.

As a fugitive agent, Ulrika Jaeger is extremely cautious of who she allows to enter her game to tame the beast residing inside of her. Her people once believed they were spiritually connected to the animals in their souls, until Itor wiped them all out except for Ulrika. Now she has the ability to shape-shift into a wolf, but she's unable to control the beast unless she gives it what she wants, which is to enter the world of dominatrix and sex games. She has never had the same sub twice until she meets the handsome Trance, who she believes is more Alpha than he is willing to admit.

This is the fourth book in a sizzling hot series that has never failed to keep my undivided attention. The collaboration of Sydney Croft is nothing short of brilliant.

SUMMARY

Power. Pleasure. Danger. It doesn't get any hotter than
this.He came to the underground London club for a
night of extreme sex play with the enigmatic β€œMistress
Rik.” But the special agent known as Trance is really on a
search-and-rescue mission to keep her alive. Part
predator, Ulrika β€œRik” Jaegar possesses feral powers that
make her a danger to othersβ€”and to herself. That’s why the
Agency for Covert Rare Operatives (ACRO) wants to recruit
her to their side….To do so, Trance will have to pull off
the impossible: capture and control Rik, both woman and
beast.On the run from the deadly agency that
changed her into a pleasure-seeking shape-shifter, Rik
uses sex to rein in her own raging desires. Operating on
pure instinct, she trusts no one…especially the
magnificent alpha male with the power to seduce her into
submission. An undercover agent with unique hypnotic
gifts, Trance is surprised by his instinct to hold Rik and
keep her safeβ€”but he has a job to do. And as he hunts her
down, as Rik and Trance are thrust into the ultimate game
of domination and submission, they’ll enter a place where
surrender is their sole hope of survivalβ€”and the only
thing that can tame the wild beast in both of them.…
