My ThoughtsGood gods I hope this is the start of another Paranormal Romance series for this author. I am so hooked!  As I was reading and loving how the plot was unraveling, I marveled at how this novella has some serious potential for a long-running series. This tale is just too original and intriguing for one novella. And the author brilliantly wrote it so that we feel satisfied with the ending...yet deeply crave more.For me, this novella is gold for many reasons...~ First, I love novellas and short stories anyway. I like to read a full story in one sitting to truly appreciate its beauty, and life just won't allow the time to read a full-length novel in one sitting.~ Second, its Paranormal Romance...my favorite genre.~ Third, it has wonderful characters that I fell deeply in love with. This author writes her heroines strong, smart and sassy and Alyssa is all that and more. The hero is definitely an alpha male, however not overbearingly so. I get really annoyed at pushy alpha males but Mark is very supportive of his lady and he shows vulnerability at times. So a very nice balance to his character. I am seriously curious about the background of a couple of the secondary characters introduced as well...like Michael, the sexy bad boy. He has a great story just waiting to be told. I know it!~ Fourth, the world building was unique, well thought out and expertly delivered. Hence, my wish that we will see more.~ Fifth, the sex scenes...Mmmm. I have to include a few lines of this part that just plain did it for me and had my own pulse racing and wishing my Man were near..."Reaching with his palm, he cupped my already aching sex, his fingers sliding softly through the wet folds. Stop teasing me. Lightly, he continued to rub his hand in circles as he whispered, "Teasing suggests I'd arouse without affording satisfaction." His hot breath wafted along the outer shell of my ear, causing goose bumps to rise on the sensitive skin of my neck below. "I have every intention of leaving you fully satisfied. And that's a promise." Totally HOT!~ And finally, parts of the story made me cry a little. I love a book that makes me teary-eyed and evokes emotion. Not heart wrenching sadness (those books depress me) but I like it when they make me truly empathize with what the character is going through.If you are a PNR fan, I'd highly recommend this novella so you can join me in my stalking of this author to "encourage" her to write more about Alyssa and Mark.Happy Reading!!5 Stars - Absolutely Loved It!
