This is a very interesting story and loads of yummy steam. There is insta-lust that has connected feelings. I do not hate that aspect, it is just something you have to accept in this series.

The background story is spaced out in the book. It takes a bit to really get the gist of what is happening with the magic and the world that is being created. I expect more will be revealed as the series continues. With four brothers, two sets of twins, I am thinking things will be very connected.

Graelen is very dark and delicious!! He is a serious Alpha guy, oh good lordy! Rena really does not stand a chance against all that power and sex appeal. They are a great pairing, once they get past the distrust.

The steam is uber hot!! There are some very interesting moments here, a bit of a psychic menage, totally hot!!! There is also some BDSM type play, not serious protocols, but definitely tied down with ropes! For a short read there is a real smexy punch!

The book is mostly from the two leads POV, giving you great insights into their characters. There is also a brief moment of the bad guy's perspective. It is a great way to make the read more engaging.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Johanna Fairview, who does a great job with the read. She has a deeper raspy tone to her voice. It really works for the smexy scenes and the men's voices. She also added just the right touch of softness to the women's voices. When it comes to the energy of the smexy scenes, this narrator really gets into things! You can feel the action and tension of the moment in her enthusiastic narration!

I can not wait to jump into the next book, yummy twin brother Cash! Oh yeah, I expect plenty of heat!

Graelen knows that if he lets Rena in the door he's leading himself to his ruin. His family of witches knows that there is one woman who will destroy each of them and Rena is that woman to him. Rena has a mystery on her hands and knows that the Scott family can help her unravel that mystery. When a set of Tarot cards spills from her bag Graelen knows he can't trust her because that set was stolen from his home months ago. Rena didn't understand that they were stolen and only wants to understand the Scott family history. Because she feels like she is the key to his salvation. Will their attraction hinder their chance at a HEA? Good story that will offer full completion as the series continues. Leaves me intrigued to see what comes next!

I loved the book but as short as it was it felt unfinished. So much more could have been done with the story line.

I have to admit to being mildly disappointed. I've read other books by Eliza Gayle and absolutely loved them. This one however just came across as rushed and half finished.

Pros:
It was hot. The characters are relatively likable. You can relate to why Cash is so protective of his twin. The motivation is clear and understandable.

Cons:
There is no back story given. There is no explanation given to why they're in this situation, how they came to be this way or why the brothers feel they must stay away from each other. And whereas this could be easily remedied, in this case it wasn't.
It was simply glossed over.
He doesn't know her, doesn't trust her, her very presence could mean the destruction of everything, but has sex with her anyway.
And most importantly absolutely nothing is resolved in the end. Leaving us with a huge cliffhanger.

So although the story has an interesting premise an a lot of promise, I can't say that it was enjoyable. Not without reading the other books that follow in the series or a prequel... something. Unfortunately for me, this particular one will have to be only a 2 star novella. Can't even call it a book because there isn't much to it.
