It seems that I somehow find myself reading the series out of order when it comes to Evangeline Anderson. I have every single book from her Kindred series (which I love), but I started out with book twoHunted (Brides of the Kindred), and then I followed that up withClaimed (Brides of the Kindred). Funnily enough, the same thing happened here. Once I found out about Scarlet Heat, through the premise alone I knew I had to read it. Although I have yet to read the first in the series, after finishing this one I simply cannot wait to delve into it.What I genuinely appreciate about Evangeline Anderson is her writing skill. She never disappoints. The writing is never stilted, it always flows and it is interesting and captivating. You may not always agree with every choice a character makes, but I suppose there would be no fun if everything went your way.I really did not know any characters from the previous book, but it was easy enough to follow along. Taylor had what seems to be an incredibly hard introduction to the vampire life, and for everything it was anything but easy. The same goes for Victor and him being a wolf, and how it has complicated his lifestyle and home life completely. However, Taylor's strength really impressed me, and I love that she had Victor's back, no matter the circumstances.Addison got a bit on my nerves in certain parts, but I really do not know her story yet. What I appreciated about her was that she was a diehard friend to Taylor, who really needed it. Corbin seemed like a cool dude too, and very logical.I am really intrigued by Gwendolyn and seriously cannot wait to read her story. And I really appreciate the fact that chapter 2 for the next Kindred book is in here! I cannot wait for that.
