About The Book

Things are going good for Ravi. Sure, a bunch of vampires want to turn Atlanta into a bloodsucker paradise, and sure, Ravi’s matchmaking aunt keeps shoving available bachelorettes at him left and right. Despite all that, Ravi’s secret affair with the enigmatic time traveler Cayenne is making him happier than he’s ever been in his life.

But Cayenne has secrets of their own, ones they can’t hide any longer, past and future on a collision course to disaster.

When the truth comes out, Ravi and Cayenne face their greatest challenge yet: each other.

The Review

It has been two weeks since Ravi last heard from Cayenne, after their return from the Seychelles, but the appearance of packs of vampires has taken his mind off the sadness.
Alphas are working together, which is unheard of, and Ravi decides to do some recon to find out what they are dealing with.

Ravi had intended to just watch from the car, but when he leaves its safety to get closer, he finds a dead body, which lead him further into the building… and danger. What he finds are dead bodies – no vampires left alive, nothing but emptiness. The vampire problem is eliminated, and Ravi wonders if Cayenne had something to do with it.

Cayenne finally shows up and admits to his part in the vampire situation, and delivers an orb that had been stolen from an antiquities museum which allows vampires to permanently go out in the daytime. The orb could have brought about a serious change, a deadly change if vampires were free to kill both day and night.

Ravi is being forced to marry. His aunt has set him up with a woman named Jessika Eaton, whose family is part of the Trust. Ravi manages to anger her with his actions, and she leaves the restaurant alone. One down but more such meetings to come.

With the vampire situation handled and his date behind him, Ravi can finally get away and meet up with Cayenne, in a cabin up in the mountains. Cayenne keeps pestering Ravi to run away with him, to just be together, only Ravi is not the type of man to walk away from his responsibilities.

Ravi and Cayenne spend another weekend together at a cabin, a weekend where Cayenne reveals why he first approached Ravi. It’s mind blowing and hurtful, but still not enough for Ravi to call it quits. Even when Cayenne walks out, saying they should no longer see each other, Ravi finds it hard to accept.

Ravi finally talks to his teammates about Cayenne and his sexuality, which he has always kept a secret. Constance, Val, Harry and Nate are all ready to stand by him no matter what he needs, and help with whatever happens in August.

There are so many surprises and questions answered, but there are many more questions which hopefully will be answered in book three.

This is a series that must be read in order, and I highly recommend doing that.

Four stars.
