Review: Fast Character Driven Story

I must confess my first thought when I started reading Mine to Crave by Cynthia Eden was that it is about a wealthy alpha hero who just goes all possessive and obsessive. There are a  lot of those out there already. I should have had more faith in Cynthia Eden than that. She develops Drake Archer into a complicated and flawed man who overestimates himself, realizes his mistakes and admits it. Jasmine Bennett, his love interest, is an equally strong and resourceful woman, who is fighting her own demons. I enjoyed how this character is shown as tough but vulnerable. There is red hot attraction going on here, but it’s the push and pull between the two that makes this such an interesting read. Adding the many other supporting characters it’s a fast full action character driven story.This is part of a series but can be read as a stand-alone. I appreciate the underlying theme concerning family that is woven in this series.  Her characters have created their own sort of loyal family for support and love. Drake’s brothers in arms have had their stories told and found their HEAs, so I, hoping that Victor and Saxon will also get theirs since they are family now too.Copy provided by NetGalley for an honest review.
