I am not a fan of love triangles and I really hate it when either the hero or heroine is SLEEPING with someone other than her true love, so this story really disappointed me.  If you have read any of my reviews, you know I read for romance first, action second.  I notice a lot of readers go one way or the other on this, and I am definitely romance FIRST!  If you couldn't care, this is a 5 star book for you, if sleeping around, back and forth rubs you wrong, you will not enjoy this book.Romance part ***SPOILERS***Alyssa and Kane love each other, but feel betrayed and lied to because of what they are (a witch and a dark one - natural enemies). They both think the other one was using them and are hurt.  Kane is much crueler than Alyssa as his bond with her makes her crave him sexually.  In fact, Alyssa is a nymphomaniac the whole book, first because of her bond with Kane and later for reasons unknown.  She is climbing on Kane and Gage the whole book and looking sexually at other immortals.  When Kane's bond becomes too much for her, she has sex with Gage which breaks the bond, but not her love for Kane.  Of course, then Kane realizes Alyssa never played him and wants her back, only now she is with Gage, but still kissing and rubbing up against Kane.  Honestly, it felt like a ménage with the three of them and was not romantic at all.  While Kane is insanely territorial around Alyssa, it does not seem to apply to Gage, who he watches fondle and love on Alyssa without comment.  Of course in the end, neither ends up with her and who knows who will be in her bed in book three.  I hated that part of the story.Action part NO SPOILERSThis part is quite good with an evil ex of Kane's after Kane and Alyssa and a adeepening relationship between Alyssa and her father.  There is some confusion about Alyssa's mother who has returned but is not acting normal.  Alyssa comments on it, but then later reveals all her adventures to "her mother" knowing something is off.  That part really didn't make sense.  Alyssa learns to use more of her powers and more history of all the creatures is revealed, showing the Alyssa is really in danger.  There is also a mortal witch that is setting both Kane and Alyssa up as murderers; leaving dead bodies behind in an attempt to call for a powerful evil spirit.  Amy is still hating Alyssa and is determined that Kane is her fated mate.  The action and plot is really interesting, but is blown by the sexual betrayals and stupid misunderstandings.I really loved the first book and could not have predicted that the story would take this turn or I wouldn't have kept reading it.  I really wish the author had not set up a triangle and am now wary to read her other books that I downloaded after enjoying the first book so much.  I honestly don't thing I will continue with this series as I really don't want Kane and Alyssa back together after she has been with Gage and I don't want to see another guy enter the picture either.  That's just me though; others will not have a problem with this bouncing around.Very descriptive sex and profanityWould I/Did I buy it? Yes (.99)Would I read it again? NoWould I recommend it to friends? Yes, to action only fans.
