WICKED EDGE (REALM ENFORCERS #2)

If you love the Dark Protectors, these wicked hot Realm Enforcers are for you!

Daire Dunne is more than ready to take a quick break from his duties as a Coven Nine Enforcer. When he spots a sexy blonde across a Titan’s of Fire party, it’s not long before she’s on the back of his Harley on the fast track to his apartment. Unfortunately, one overheated kiss in, the woman drugs Daire and steals valuable files that can’t fall into enemy hands. The second he comes to, the hunt is on...

Now that Cee Cee has the information to take down an enemy that destroyed her family, she can implement her perfect plan for revenge. Nothing will stop her, not even a shockingly sexy enforcer barging into her life. Not even the spectacular, fire-branding sex engulfing them. But if Daire ever figures out who her family really is, all bets are off...

Nikki's Review:

I love paranormal romance. I love the fantasy of things that go bump in the night. And by bump, I mean sexy shifters, vampires, etc, bumping and grinding! As much as I love this genre, I'm really choosy about which ones I read. They are not all created equal. I have read a few of Rebecca Zanetti's contemporary books and I thought they were great. I had hope that her paranormal series would resonate with me too. Not so much. This one was a DNF (did not finish) for me. Man, I get so sad when that happens! Seriously, it pains me to not finish a book. But alas, it happens. 

There is so much going on this book. And so many secondary characters that my head hurt trying to keep everyone straight. I had hoped that this book would read like a stand-alone. I felt like I was missing some background stories. I highly recommend reading book 1 before this one. Ms. Zanetti has built an intricate world full every paranormal being you can imagine. Again, a lot going on with a lot of players. 

The hero, Daire, and the heroine, Cee Cee, didn't have a whole lot of chemistry outside of the bed yoga department. Now, I didn't finish the book, so maybe that changes. But I was 46% of the way through, and all I got was a "meh" feeling about them. The sex was yummy! No doubt about the hot sweaty stuff...it was good! But Cee Cee was a manipulative jerk and Daire was the masochist who was running after her all the time. I wanted to love these two, I really did! I kept waiting for that spark; it just never came for me. 


I believe I gave this book a fair shot. 46% of the way through is enough for me to devote to a book that was making me think of anything BUT what the characters were getting up to. I suppose, from now on, I'll likely to stick Ms. Zanetti's contemporary reads. She's a fabulous writer! Unfortunately, this series just didn't rev me up.
