Dark Taste of Rapture by Gena Showalter

Dark Taste of Rapture (Alien Huntress Novels, #6)

by Gena Showalter

New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter captivates with a dark, tantalizing world of humans, otherworlders, and a powerful AIR agent consumed by his desire for a woman he can never have. . . .

With one caress, he can give unforgettable pleasure . . . or unending pain. . . .

Hector Dean is shaved, tattooed, and totally ripped—and he has a deadly secret. He is a walking weapon, capable of killing with a single brush of his fingertips. Little wonder he’s determined to remain on his own. But Noelle Tremain is a temptation like no other. She is beautiful and rich, with a party girl smile that hides a shocking vulnerability, and from the beginning his sizzling attraction to her is undeniable. For the first time, his stone-cold resistance is tested. But to be with her, he risks destroying her.

When a wealthy businessman is murdered in New Chicago’s seediest district, the two are partnered, and there’s no escaping what they both want: each other. Yet neither Hector nor Noelle knows what to fear more—the killer case, or their own lethal desires. . . .

This was definitely the HOTTEST of all the alien huntress books so far! Hector took hotness to a whole new level, and Noelle is the funniest, quirkiest, strongest heroine so far. I thought Mia and Ava were totally bad-ass, but Noelle is one step further than both of them.

This story had a great plot, and an excellent sub-plot. Hector and Noelle were in the middle of both, and they really worked it all. The romance and the hot sex were amazingly well written, few authors can write both suspense and romance the way Gena Showalter can.
