Exciting, dramatic, funny, emotional, sexy and gorgeously romantic, this is a fantastic addition to the <i>Dark Protectors<\/i> series, and I loved it!<\/p>\n<p>This is the story of Sam Kyllwood, and I have been waiting for this one! A vampire\/demon hybrid, and middle brother in between Zane (King of the demon nation), and Logan (member of the Seven), Sam is the planner, the peacekeeper and the one who tries to keep thing calm and controlled in the midst of his chaotic world. The book begins with us learning that, in order to protect his family, Sam went through a torturous ritual to become the \u2018Keeper\u2019, tying his destiny to yet another a mysterious ritual that will most likely kill him, his younger brother, best friend, and the rest of the mysterious \u2018Seven\u2019, but on the plus side, they\u2019ll take out the baddest of all bad guys while doing it.<\/p>\n<p>But his role in this mysterious series of events is suddenly causing him problems. He has unexpectedly and unintentionally started to set things on fire, blow things up, and parts of him are dropping in and out of alternate realms. It\u2019s trippy (but fun to read about), and lands him in trouble with the human Police.<\/p>\n<p>Honor is a psychologist who is contracted to Homeland Security as a profiler\/interrogator. Her skills are helped along by the supernatural abilities which make her an Enhanced female (not that she\u2019s aware of that yet), but when she\u2019s brought in to interrogate Sam, everything is about to change for her. The gorgeous but deadly prisoner kidnaps her and drags her off to a secluded cabin where he proceeds to rock her world by telling her all about who he is, who she is, and her role in a world that she has no knowledge of. He then proceeds to rock her world in other ways, setting up a seriously hot and absolutely gorgeous love story.<\/p>\n<p>Sam and Honor are fantastic together! Honor is a smart and sensible woman, and Sam is honest and trustworthy. Though they get off to a rocky start, they are completely honest with each other, and despite their tenuous situation, the attraction between them develops naturally and easily. I could feel their chemistry, and they are on fire together! The sexy times are seriously hot! But they also share an emotional connection which is beautifully explored, and I loved seeing them come together.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cI\u2019m not the right girl,\u201d she said softly.<br \/>\nHe opened his eyelids. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine anybody else being more right.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As always, there is lots of action with the kurjans and cysts continuing their hunt to collect Enhanced females, and Honor is on their radar. And more than that, they are aware of Sam\u2019s role as the Keeper, and they are also looking to take him out. This all unfolds while Sam and Honor are trying to work out what is going on between them, and Sam wrestles with his own (pardon the pun) demons as he tries to figure out his future, and Honor\u2019s role in it. It\u2019s a rollercoaster of action and excitement, and I couldn\u2019t put it down!<\/p>\n<p>The setting of this book takes us away from the \u2018Seven\u2019, who have been the focus of the last few books in the series, and instead is mostly set in the middle of Bear\u2019s compound, which I absolutely loved! There\u2019s lots of Bear and Nessa, lots of Garrett, and we even get to see Flynn, all of whom bring a lot to the story, and I loved seeing them all again. Of course we also get to check in with other members of the Realm, which is always fun, and there\u2019s even a cameo from one of Rebecca\u2019s other series, which was really cleverly thrown in. Hope\u2019s storyline continues to develop &#8211; she\u2019s now 18, and I\u2019m dying with curiosity to see where her story is going to go! And Garrett\u2019s storyline leads very nicely in to his own book, which is up next.<\/p>\n<p>There are some surprises and twists in the storyline with this one, which will impact the series to come, and I\u2019m so excited to continue. I love this world, and cannot get enough of these characters, and Sam\u2019s book was everything I was hoping for and more.<\/p>\n<p>Loved it \u2013 5 stars!<\/p>\n<p><i>An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>See our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?page_id=5289\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dark Protectors\/Realm Enforcers series<\/a>\u00a0page for info on the series<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Check out our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?page_id=6836\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rebecca Zanetti Author Spotlight<\/a> for more of Rebecca\u2019s books<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buy: \u00a0Amazon Review 5 stars!
