So, what did I like about it?
I am already a fan of [a:Felicity Heaton|1228468|Felicity Heaton|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1366369715p2/1228468.jpg]’s writing style (I think I might have mentioned that before. lol!); it’s the way she creates a very believable paranormal world and then filling it with complex, multifaceted characters and weaves their stories around a background arc with such depth that it just draws me in. [b:Craved by an Alpha|23010561|Craved by an Alpha (Eternal Mates, #5)|Felicity Heaton|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1418636590s/23010561.jpg|42577198] does not disappoint.
I enjoyed the dilemma aspect of this tale - following your heart or carrying out your duty - which Ms Heaton gives us here; both Cavanaugh and Eloise feel the weight of putting their pride before their own happiness.
I was already a bit of a Cavanaugh fan (there are scenes throughout the Eternal Mates series take place in "Underworld", the nightclub that he works in) but I loved getting beneath that hard, stoic exterior. Eloise is exactly what I want from a main female character; resilient, intelligent, funny and loyal! Fabulous!
I need to confess that one of the reasons why I love Ms Heaton’s books so much is the sex; she makes the most explicit sexual scenes very romantic (I think that it takes a very talented writer to accomplish this), these erotic interludes are balanced really well with beautifully written imagery and poignant internal dialogue from our main romantic pair. Ms Heaton gives her characters such depth that they become real, I found myself getting caught up with the passion (who wouldn’t!) but the tender insights into Cavanaugh and Eloise’s inner fears and emotional turmoil throughout this book was heart-warming to read.
I shed a tear or two during the tender/sad scenes and I was titillated during the sex scenes but these were balanced nicely with the fighting and action scenes that fed my adrenalin fix; yes, I was gripped and couldn’t stop reading!
So, ummm, was there anything I disliked about it?
Absolutely nothing!
So, basically what I’m saying is...
*sigh* What an wonderful paranormal romance story. It's got everything that I’m looking for in a book; action, romance, passion and plenty of well written steamy sex scenes. Couldn't stop reading this book!
As with all of Ms Heaton’s books, due to the graphic violence and sexual content (it’s definitely steamy), I’d recommend this book to adults only who are fans of relationship and romance stories with a bit of fire and passion.

Loved this book! Couldn't stop reading. Great story, wonderfully written complex characters with depth that had me engaged in Cavenaugh & Eloise's fraught romance from the first chapter.
