I love all of Kristen Ashley's books but her paranormal ones are extra special to me. I was actually reluctant to read the paranormal ones because I thought there was no way they could compare to her other ones that I loved so much such as Sweet Dreams. Well I've never been so happy to be wrong. I should have known that KA's writing is The Shit no matter what genre it's in. When I read her books it's like a movie being watched in my mind and with her Paranormal ones I always feel like there's a missing puzzle piece through out the story and in the end it all comes together. So not only does she give us the hot alpha male, the rockin heroine, awesome sex, romance, conflict, and the HEA but she also gives us a story that is in my opinion kind of complicated and involved. I mean it involves 3 different couples that are 3 different species (vamp, wolf, hybrid) and their lives are all entwined. Although each couple has their own book we still have to know about the others story to get the full picture. This series had to take some meticulous planning on KA's part in order to bring these 3 stories together and be able to make sense. Because this author cranks out all these spectacular books in every genre so close together(versus making us wait another year like some published authors have to)I think some of her readers forget that she isn't a machine...or is she??I can relate to Sonia in this book. She's a human torn between having what she wants for her life which is a man who loves her for her with all her quirks and flaws and living the life that was planned for her before she was even born which includes mating with a man who isn't quite human who she believes is with her out of duty and not out love. He's bossy and controlling and she doesn't know if she should speak her mind on what her wishes are or keep quiet and not make additional problems for him because he already has so much on his shoulders. I like that Sonia takes her title as Queen serious and she earns the respect of the people and shows us why she was destined to stand by Callum's side(or should I say sit in his lap).Now Callum seems like nothing but a womanizing, control freak but we get to read from his POV and we start to see why he is the way he is. We also get to see how Callum feels about the things Sonia says and does that makes him see her in certain ways. I can't stand when the hero just falls for a girl and she hasn't done anything special. I love that he calls Sonia baby doll and wherever he goes he wants her there. He is proud to be King and he isn't afraid to change the traditions that have been in place for generations if it means the better for his people and his queen.I now have to add this book to the list of books that made me cry. I won't give the reason why you'll just have to read the book. KA made me care for the supporting characters and I hope to see what happens to them in future books. The end of this book gives you a glimpse of the characters for the next book.  I can't wait till it comes out.
