After his brother’s death, Killian is named as the Heir, and his father has left him in New York to set up a werewolf presence in the vampire dominated city. To get a feel of the city, Killian spends a lot of time at The Coven which is now owned and run by Sadie Pemberton. He is thinking of opening his own club and he is trying to get an idea of what works best in NYC, at least that is why he tells everyone he hangs around The Coven night after night. It is definitely not the intriguing vampire herself since any dalliance between vamps and weres are frowned upon, especially by the heir that needs to mate well and produce the next generation.
The romance was intense in this story and kept you intrigued. No matter how they tried to deny their interest in each other, everyone and I mean everyone in the story was well aware of the intense attraction between Sadie and Killian. There was a definite line in sand of who was for and who was against the relationship. And that is what I would call the secondary story to the romance, someone was willing to see blood run to keep the wolves out of New York and to keep Killian away from Sadie. With several vamps and wolves all against the time they are spending together, it was hard to figure out who was the most fanatical.
Killian was so focused on Sadie and his non-obsession with her, that when the woman who was front-runner for the job as Killian’s mate shows up, he can barely focus long enough on her to tell her to get back on the plane and go home. In fact, instead of getting between Sadie and Killian, her presence only pushes Killian toward Sadie more and increases everyone’s need to check to stockroom to see if we have enough swizzle sticks, making inventory everyone’s favorite job.
THOUGHTS:
We definitely caught a hint of Killian’s interest in Sade at the end of Vampire Trouble and his sudden desire to hang out in New York for awhile.
I really liked the attraction that both Sadie and Killian tried hard to fight. It really was funny that most of the internal discussions were “I really need to stop spending so much time over there and I’ll stop going there right after I go there tomorrow.” or “It doesn’t look good that we are seen together so often, but I did promise to go over and help.” Although the question of who was trying to get the wolves out of New York was interesting, it definitely secondary to the dance these two were doing.
I would suggest that if you are trying to keep your relationship secret, sex in the middle of Central Park might not be the best choice for privacy.
