SHE SHOULD BE SEEN, BUT NEVER TOUCHED…

Kerry Smithson’s modeling career ensures that she will be admired from afar, which is essential since mere human touch sparks blinding pain and terrifying visions.

EVERY GOOD MODEL NEEDS A HEAVENLY BODYGUARD…

Dante Coltari is hired to protect Kerry from those who know who she is—or more importantly what she is—and want her dead because of it. Nothing could have prepared him for the challenge of keeping her safe. But, strangely, his lightest touch brings her exquisite pleasure rather than pain, and Dante and Kerry have an otherworldly connection that might just pull them through.

Book Review:

This world of shifters is a great read for fans of the paranormal genre. Sara Humphrey's Amoveo are shifters who also have other paranormal abilities. She writes a vivid world of paranormal creatures against the beautiful backdrop of the South-New Orleans.

For years, this race believed that they could only reproduce with those of their kind. But hybrids--half human/half Amoveon--have been discovered. And some shifters called Puritans are not happy with this recent find.  They believe those with pure blood of the Amoveon race should prevail.

Dante Coltari is a member of the Fox clan, which I admit I did find a little strange at first. When you think of shifter romance, you think, Weres, Panthers, Tigers--animals that are huge, feral beasts. Not a fox. So, I had to put out any preconceived notions out of my head.

But Dante is not a weak character by any means, and Humphreys writes a great Alpha male.  He knows that Kerry is his mate from their first meeting. He knows exactly what she is--although Kerry is clueless--and he is determined to protect her at any cost. He is a passionate, gentle lover--a perfect match for the beautiful heroine of the story.

Kerry has felt alone all of her life. Unable to get close to anyone, with the exception of her one friend, Samantha, she avoids intimacy at all cost. She experiences a reeling pain with the smallest of touches and she struggles to hide this "gift" that she considers a curse. 

But for the first time, one touch leaves her feeling something different--pleasure. And her world is about to change.

On the periphery waits a monster, one called 'The Punisher', intent on killing Kerry.  And Dante races against time to figure out the identity of a vicious killer. Before it's too late.

This book was a great pleasure to read and made me wish I had started at the beginning--Book One, Unleashed, is Samantha and Malcolm.
