Well, I was definitely intrigued. Even with vampires, shifters and various other paranormal creatures, though, this still has all of the hallmarks of a romantic suspense novel, just in a slightly different setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Icarus may be a vampire, but sadly that still means you need to pay the bills. And Icarus owes money to some scary people. So it&#8217;s not a terrible surprise when they hijack one of his cam performances to blackmail him. They need him to seduce and deliver one Adam Devlin &#8211; or else. But from the moment Icarus, pretending to be human, meets Adam, there&#8217;s a connection between them, something that he decides to explore by playing along. Since the death of his romantic partners, Adam&#8217;s used his ex-cop connections to try to bring down the man responsible &#8211; the same man blackmailing Icarus. He may be out to get Adam, but he&#8217;s also the first person in years that catches his interest. With powerful forces aligned against them, what are the chances that they both make it out of this alive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>&#8220;Stay out of it, Icarus.&#8221;<br>&#8220;You caught my name, right?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Adam comes off as grumpy &#8211; in truth he&#8217;s grieving, blaming himself for the death of his partners and refusing to do focus on anything that doesn&#8217;t have to do with vengeance. Icarus smashes that resolution with some heels and sass. And look &#8211; let&#8217;s just say that &#8220;Icarus&#8221; fits him to a T. Icarus is the definition of sassy &#8211; to the point where I was seriously worried about him at some points. That&#8217;s not to say he&#8217;s all play and no substance. He loves deeply and wants to protect those he loves. If his sister needed him, he&#8217;d drop everything to make sure she was safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took me longer than I&#8217;d like to admit before I figured out that the story was set in an alternate San Francisco. The world-building is interesting and for the most part avoids info dumping. Instead new information is revealed bit by bit along with the characters&#8217; backstories. It&#8217;s hard to go into much without getting into spoilers but there&#8217;s plenty of action, tense anticipation and plot twists along with the romance. It really did feel like a trademark Layla Reyne Whiskeyverse novel &#8211; just in a very different setting! As for cons, like many first books in a series, there were a lot of characters introduced quickly, many of whom I struggled to keep straight. Also, the ending wrapped up a bit too neatly and quickly for me. Everything up to that point was perfect &#8211; just that final chapter left me unsatisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, an interesting first foray into paranormal romance and one that I very much enjoyed. The couple for the next book has already been revealed and I am definitely planning on reading that one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Content notes: <span class=\"ubb-spoiler\"><a class=\"ubb-view-spoil\">View Spoiler &raquo;<\/a><span style=\"display: none;\" class=\"ubb-thespoil\">Violence (including murder), arson, blackmail, grief, death of a partner (in the past), references to a natural disaster <a class=\"ubb-hide-spoil\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer;\">&laquo; Hide Spoiler<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a pretty big fan of Layla Reyne&#8217;s romantic suspense books, so when I saw that she was taking a foray into paranormal romance?
