Micah Black is tortured by the loss of not one, but two mates. The only way he can think of overcoming his grief is a different kind of pain. Not giving pain, but having it inflicted on him. Sam comes upon one such episode and intervenes. She takes care of Micah, but doesn't know his true identity.I won't say much to keep from giving anything away. I will simply say this is a must read. This is Donya Lynne's debut novel and if this is what's in store from her, you will want more. I loved the leading characters, Micah and Samantha (Sam). Micah is your tortured bad boy with a paranormal edge. Even if there were times I wanted to grab him and shake sense into him, I found myself falling for him. Thank god for Sam who manages him quite well.Just out of an abusive relationship, taking any job to make sure her ex can't find her, Sam is one strongly fierce woman. One who won't put up with a lot of b.s. after having just left a wreck of a relationship. I loved seeing their relationship develop and heal them, as well as some steamy bedroom scenes. I also loved how Lynne didn't just have our hearts invested in the main characters of this story, but all the other AKM men we get to see and learn about throughout the book.When you can engage a reader's interest in all the characters and have them wanting more of each, you have a winner. I also loved to hate her villains. I was kind of yelling at my Kindle at times. I got a chuckle at the end over what they did to Sam's ex. I will say there is also some M/M interaction I thought was pretty steamy. If you don't like M/M, then you may not like that part. I personally found it hot, which had me hoping for that couples story next. If it hadn't been for that, I would have had a hard time deciding which AKM member I wanted next. I loved how real the characters felt. The banter amongst the team had me laughing or gasping. After all they are all manly men. Definitely a book to check out and read. I can't wait for the next.I recieved a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
