The first time I meet him, he is the hunter and I am the prey.
The second time I see him, the reaper is knocking on my door.
The third time, I am told he will be my husband.

Every time we meet after that, I question if he will be my enemy or my lover.
 
He says he'll teach me the rules and consequences to this world of ours.

It's a dark place of give and most definitely take.

And as my future husband, he's supposed to protect me at all costs from the shadows that threaten my family

But am I ever truly safe when I'm with him?
 
Or with them?
 
Masked men tasked to watch over me. Stalk me. Rarely leaving my side.
If he can't always be the hunter, he makes sure they can.
 
I may be able to run from one, secretly enjoying the primal chase.
But when there are three...
 
My Review:  Give me that dark romance, cause Alta can deliver. 

Just like the first book, its a fast read and will keep you glued from the start. 

Flora finally got away from her father, even signed up and participated in the hunt. Flora is living her life and all seems to go well.  However, Flora has to return after her brother passes and that means dealing with her father. 

Things just couldn't be easy. To keep things neutral between the two families, Flora's father has decided to have Flora engaged and given to Braken. Yup, so much for getting away apparently.

Now I'm not sure that this one trumps the first book, only because I wasn't feeling the relationships in this book all that much. It needed just a smidge more to become all I wanted in a dark romance. 

Besides that, Alta is still one of my favorite authors when it comes to dark romance. She can really detail the scenes and bring them to life. I've yet to come across a book I haven't loved by her.
