This is book #4 in the <i>Hunter Legacy<\/i> series, which is a spin-off from the <i>Midnight Breed<\/i> series. Though you could read this as a standalone, there is some crossover of characters and storyline, so you would probably enjoy this one more if you\u2019ve read earlier books in either series. It\u2019s a faced-paced story with great action and romance, and I loved it!<\/p>\n<p>Razor is a Breed vampire, created as a Hunter, the most lethal of his kind. As a favour to an old friend, he has been surveilling a young woman in Colorado to ensure her safety. He\u2019s been drawn to Laurel since the moment he started watching over her, so when he senses she\u2019s in danger he rushes to her side only to be too late to save her. He wants vengeance and is determined to track down her killer when he literally runs into Laurel\u2019s identical twin sister, Willow. Razor had no idea that Willow even existed, but he quickly realises that she is actually the woman he\u2019s been watching and obsessing over, and he vows to help her on a mission to track down the people responsible for Laurel\u2019s death, and find out why she was targeted.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a fast paced and exciting ride as Razor and Willow follow a series of clues that her sister left behind, with an unknown threat following their every move. They never expected that their journey would lead to them unravelling a secret conspiracy which threatens the very existence of the Breed. Just as well they have Razor\u2019s brother and the Order, to help them on the way.<\/p>\n<p>The thrills are there as Razor and Willow run for their lives, but I was feeling the chemistry between them from the very beginning, and I was all about the romance. Razor is already feeling so much for Willow, and the close proximity, strong emotion and danger of their situation makes their growing attraction all the more intense. They have both lived mostly isolated lives, so having somebody to rely on, to care for, and to share their wild journey has them falling fast and hard, and I loved every moment of it! The mad anticipation, the hot kisses and the steamy sexy time, there\u2019s so much emotion to all of it, and the added paranormal \u2018mate\u2019 factor just makes it better.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>If anything ever happened to this precious woman, he would burn down the whole fucking world in his fury.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s a wonderful mix of action, suspense and romance with a gorgeous element of found family. I loved these characters and their story, and I loved seeing them get the happy ending they so deserve.<\/p>\n<p>Such a great read \u2013 4 stars.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Hunter Legacy
