Sometimes it's really difficult for me, Ladybug Lin to give a review once I've  read a book that is so powerfully written I'm left with no breath to inflate my lungs and because of that, a sorry state of oxygen deprivation settles into my inadequate little brain cells. THAT is the state I find myself in right now.Staring Into The Eyes of Chance, by Kay Dee Royal does the impossible...it shows why it is so dangerous to splice together the DNA from two species and pour them into one body.Kay Dee's story brings to vivid and often painful life the two sides of the Lycan dimension. Chance is Lycan and even though he looks young, vital, and sexy as hell, he's a bit long in the tooth, compared to humans...over three hundred, and has yet to find his mate.During his many decades, he's become a member of the Lycan legal system and that's what brings him across the Big Pond to America...he's tracking an evil Lycan.There are stories and authors so good at writing the bone jarring epochs they create because they have the ability to make you cringe and still want more while describing vile acts you hope never to experience yourself. Or if you have experienced them, you hope to never experience them again outside the safety of the WORDS written before your hungry eyes.Kay Dee Royal brings to the Lycan world, the same power Christine Feehan and Sherrilyn Kenyon bring to the world of vampires. When I read those gifted ladies and their Carpathian and Dark Hunter Series, I so want to turn away from the horrible and degrading realities they've created, but I can't. I'm effectively ensnared in their worlds. Now, thanks to Ms. Royal, I'm just as ensnared in Chance's world.It is an extremely violent world, but if I flip a coin, I must admit it is  also extremely passionate. We're talking over the top loyalty to one's mate...cheating not even considered...Imagine NEVER being cheated on? Imagine your mate tearing the world apart to bring you back to the safety of his passion?THAT is what Kay Dee Royal brings to life in this book.There's no reference to a sequel, but I KNOW Ms. Royal won't be able to stay away from Chance's Lycan world for long...just as I want to return and despite the bone jarring violence, find out what becomes of Smoke, the villain in this piece.
