It will take the woman who calls him enemy to give him a reason to live.

Jagger is a creature of the night—Skye Knightly soars in the sun. Natural adversaries, they have been joined by destiny in a mission entrusted to Skye’s family centuries ago: Nothing less than the salvation of the Earth.

Wounded and bitter, Jagger sought escape in the solitude of the jungle, driven by a need to disappear forever… until a mysterious shifter who calls to his soul and feeds a yearning long forgotten, pulls him from his dark path. A courageous warrior, Skye’s passion is equal to Jagger’s own—but can she trust a man on the edge? A man whose secrets are as devastating as her own?

Each is the other’s sole hope for survival. But a dark and twisted truth is leading them toward the ultimate sacrifice for a love they may never live to claim.






My review

Rating-
Sexual-


Awesome read!! I loved the first book in this series, this one picked up where it left off and gave me so much more. It starts off in full force action and just about stays that way through the whole book. I have never read anything like it before, if this wasn’t enough the author tops it with two enemies that has to some how find love, Needless to say I couldn’t wait to get my world done, so I could get back to another world that was highly entertaining and exciting to read. If your looking for excitement, shape-shifting fighting, plenty of different emotions, hot sex, villains, and surprises in just about every corner, you’ll love this one.

light spoilers
You meet Skye and Jagger in the first book.
In this one Skye is a warrior eagle. The eagles have been protectors of an ancient Aztec artifact that is a portal to the demon world for hundreds of years. If its opened all the world as we know it ends. Her father hid it before his death and now its up to her to find it deep in the jungle with the DaCostas hot on her tail. So she has to trust Jaggar and his family in hopes that she can some how save the world. As Skye and Jaggar is fighting their was through the hot Belize Mayan Jungle things starts heating between them, but this is not an easy romance. The last few chapters left me in awe. These two gets their HEA, but the story is far from finished. So be prepared of an intense cliffhanger ending that gives you a peak of who the next book will be about. You'll will also find the chapter for Slavation's book in the back, so you get a little peek. Now I just need that book.......

I loved Skye as the heroine. I don’t think I have ever read a heroine that’s suffered like she did, but she takes it and keeps going. I do think she goes to extremes and causes a lot of suffering on herself. But again if my species was just about wiped out by the jaguars I guess I wouldn’t trust much either.

Jagger is wonderful, at times doesn’t get Skye and keeps hurting them both. He does keep going with his feelings and keeps helping and protecting her even with everything she throws at him. I will say that her kneeing him in his groin was kind of bad.

I would recommend to anyone who love lots of action and hot romance

Book order and I would suggest that you read in order so you can keep up with whats going on.
