A Hunter's Passion is another winner from Gwen Knight! After devouring Gwen's debut work, Her Alpha Protector, I couldn't wait to get my hands on A Hunter's Passion. This story was just what I needed to satisfy my paranormal romance craving.Since the Salem witch trials, the Church has been dedicated to getting rid of darkness by killing off paranormal beings such as witches, vampires and werewolves. For centuries Ryker's family has been the church's weapon for doing so and each new generation of the Bennett family takes the oath to purge the world of evil. Ryker is an excellent hunter; hunt and kill without mercy is his motto. He carries out his job without question, but when he is handed his latest assignment of finding and killing Jenna, a witch and former lover, he faces a struggle.Jenna left Ryker two years ago in hopes that he will never have to choose between his duty and their forbidden love. However, fate has more in store for these two. When Ryker finds Jenna, the passion and desire between them are still very much present. Ryker is still in love with Jenna and vice versa. Although it is his duty to kill Jenna he simply can't fulfill the act. The world may view Jenna as darkness, but to him she is his light and he will do anything to protect her...even if it means going against his own brothers and everything he's ever believed in.A Hunter's Passion was a wonderful story. Ryker was a hero you could easily fall for. He possessed qualities that made him an easily loveable hero. He was righteous, honorable, loving, caring and loyal to the bone. When it came to Jenna, he was willing to go against his own beliefs and family to be with her. He was a fighter 'til the end and I loved him for that. Jenna was also wonderful as a heroine. She had strong characteristics, but also possessed vulnerabilities as well. I adored that she was willing to fight for their future, but also loving Ryker enough to sacrifice their future to be together so he wouldn't have to fight against his own brothers in order to be with her.Ryker and Jenna's struggles to be together were emotional, but it made their happy ever after all the more sweeter. I really enjoyed the conflict, the suspense plot and the twist in the story. All of this combined made this story an easy page turner. I certainly found A Hunter's Passion to be a highly enjoyable read although I wished it was longer. This book will leave you wanting more and luckily there will be more coming from Gwen with Ryker's brothers. To say that I am excited is an understatement. I am so ready for more of the Bennett brothers!Overall, A Hunter's Passion was a sweet, sexy page turner and truly a romantic read from beginning to end. I've read and loved every book Gwen has put out so far and she is an author I will look forward to reading more from. I do hope she'll write longer stories in the future because she is an excellent storyteller.
