Review: A Wicked Caress
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 11 7, 2010
Near death when rescued, Noah has spent the past six months recovering from his year long ordeal.  He was caged, brutalized, and assaulted on a regular basis by the Raven who made Noah call him Master. Noah still can't sleep most nights.  It doesn't really help his morale either to be treated with kid gloves by his entire family, plus he knows intuitively that they are keeping information from him.Seth still recalls the night he kicked in the cage door and found the young jaguar shifter beaten half to death.  He carried Noah to safety and remembers how perfectly he felt in his arms.  A connection was made that awful night, somehow felt by both and never forgotten, no matter how long they've been apart.As brother to the shifter coalition leader and part of a large shifter family, Noah should feel something besides constant isolation and loneliness. Yet, Noah has never felt more alone.  Could it be that everyone knows of his past? How he survived on the streets or is it the treatment by his captor that makes them shy away?  It seems to Noah that nobody will ever love him, especially a tall, hot tiger shifter named Seth.A perfect balance of steamy romance and heartbreaking perseverance, A Wicked Caress is memorable.  Book five in the Lost Shifters series, A Wicked Caress has just enough back story to put this tale in proper perspective for new readers without boring the many, many fans.  Noah's life has been a tragedy, but he's a true survivor while Seth has also dealt with personal anguish.  These two are meant to heal each other, together.  There is a strong sensual element that tantalizes the senses as well.  A Wicked Caress is an erotic adventure certain to please readers.  My only regret is that there's only one missing brother left to find. I don't want this series to end.LisaReviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
