Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Love, love, love this book!<\/strong><\/p>\n

And warning – this review will be a little spoilery if you haven’t read book 1 yet –\u00a0Halfway to the Grave<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taking place four years after the ending of the last book, Cat is now an agent working for a special branch of the FBI \u2013 working with her team of awesome badasses to lure and take down bad vampires, just like she was taught all those years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t even bother with small talk. I just elbowed the pretty blonde he’d been speaking to aside and slapped my panties on his chest. “As soon as I saw you,” I purred, “I knew I wouldn’t be needing these.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hilarious, but who really cares about that, right? It\u2019s all about Bones. Where is Bones? Why isn\u2019t Bones here yet? When is Bones going to come back? Just like Cat, I love that master vamp and missed him like crazy! But, believing she did the right thing in leaving him all those years ago in order to protect him, she trudges on with her lonely life without him, never forgetting her one great love.<\/p>\n

Until\u2026 \u201cHallo, Kitten<\/em>\u201d \u2026 He\u2019s there. Oh yeah, he\u2019s there! And their reunion is epic \u2013 filled with longing glances, jealousy and violence, and all of the awesome banter and smutty teasing that they are so good at. And the best part of it is its realistic! The love and lust is still raging between them, but it takes time to sort through their issues and figure out where they\u2019re going. And it\u2019s all awesome!<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been looking for you every day since you left me, Kitten, and I\u2019m sick of being without you. You\u2019ve had your shot at things, now let me have mine \u2026 You still care about me, and I certainly haven\u2019t given up on you. We can beat the odds against us, if you\u2019d give us a chance to.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bones is still absolutely incredible! Madly in love and deeply committed to Cat, he puts himself right out there and refuses to let her get away from him again. And Cat is now older, and a little more grown up. Still feisty, brave and a total badass, she seems more mature now, and with Bones back in her life she comes to accept who she is and what she wants, and she finally has the strength and confidence to claim it.<\/p>\n

And just to prove how awesome they are together, we get the infamous chapter 32 \u2013 Cat and Bones\u2019 epic night of hot and dirty sex \u2013 complete with multiple orgasms (one lasting 20 minutes), ripped sheets and a broken bed. HOT!<\/p>\n

“God, Bones…some of that was depraved.”
\n“I’ll take that as a compliment.” He closed the distance between us. “I love you. Don’t be ashamed of anything we did, even if your prudery is on life support.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But it\u2019s not all about the romance. Cat\u2019s life is in danger, and Bones is right there to track down the people that are after her. It\u2019s an exciting storyline that blends violence, action, and some sensational lessons in vampire politics. And it all leads up to an epic finale bringing Bones together with Cat\u2019s team \u2013 God, I love them all together! The dynamics are sensational!<\/p>\n

\u201cYou called her Kitten? And she let you? She put me in a coma for three days when I called her that! My balls never recovered from her smashing them into my spine!\u201d
\n\u201cAnd well she should have,\u201d Bones agreed. \u201cShe\u2019s my Kitten, and no one else\u2019s.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Introducing Ian, Mencheres, Annette and Denise, as well as Cat\u2019s team, this is the book that sets the scene for the rest of the series, and it\u2019s awesome! The action, drama, comedy, romance and an increasingly awesome paranormal world all works together brilliantly to create an intense yet fun read.<\/p>\n

I loved every minute of it! 5 stars.<\/p>\n
