I read an excerpt of this book at the end a novella from the same author. I loved the premise of the story, so I downloaded it this morning, started reading early afternoon became totally engrossed by the story, couldn't stop reading and finished it later that night! I was so consumed by this story from the very beginning, I couldn't stop reading, and unfortunately nothing got accomplished in my home today. This book had everything that I love in a romance novel. Two strong lead characters in Avery and Tristan. Avery has been shunned all of her life because she is a Red, but she never let who she is break her spirit. She is forceful, she stands up for her principals, and she is kind and gentle. Tristan is the perfect alpha male without being too domineering. I loved the secondary characters in Sophia, Maya, Marshall, etc. They balanced out the novel, and provided more insight into the main characters. Last, but not least the sex scenes were hot! I hate romance novels that have tepid, lukewarm, or closed door sex scenes. I loved the forbidden love aspect of this story. There were several times when I was crying because I knew how much Avery loved Tristan and she knew that because they were different they were not supposed to be together. I'm really glad that the author did not overpower and put the main focus on the paranormal aspect of the novel. I was ready to read it again after I finished it. I'm so glad that I discovered this author, and I can't wait to read her next book.
