Anytime I can get my fix of Raphael and Cyn, I’m there. I love this series so much and Raphael and Cyn make this series the awesomeness that it is. In this book we not only get Raphael and Cyn we get Nick. Nick is Cyn’s ex lover and friend that was in book one. Cocky, good looking and charming Nick is someone I really enjoyed learning more about. In Compelled Raphael, Cyn and Nick are teamed up to find the missing magical manacles used to hold Raphael prisoner in the book Deception. Vampires and Sorcerers have an ugly history of trying to wipe each other off the planet, so Nick and Raphael don’t get along add to that, that Nick is Cyn’s ex lover and you have some major tension going on. Nick and Raphael are at each others throats and driving Cyn insane. I loved that Cyn and Raphael’s relationship is still going strong. No matter how possessive Raphael is he still knows, and is proud that Cyn is tough and can take care of herself. I think this book was a build up to Nick getting his own book or at least I hope it is. I would love Nick to find his love and not be so lonely. I really enjoyed this novella. Compelled is a fun quick read with my favorite couple. I can’t wait for the next book. If you haven’t read the Vampires in America Series and you love PNR you should check it out!!
Loved every word of it!
D.B.Reynolds has delivered another breathtaking story within this fast-paced, enthralling and passionate series; is it any wonder I can’t get enough.
Two impossibly powerful beings, each harbouring enough distrust and hatred to cause the tectonic plates to shift, are thrown together for a common goal; but will the love they share for exquisite Cyn, be enough to prevent them unleashing the soul deep violence they yearn to deliver.
Called upon to uphold the promise she made at the time of Raphael’s rescue in Hawaii, Cyn is sought out by Nick to help recover the elusive amber manacles. But no one separates Raphael from his mate, and while Nick may appear to be a handsome, quick witted human; as Cyn’s former lover and a disgusting necromancer, Raphael has no intention of allowing Cyn to be alone with this sorcerer while they attempt to locate the bewitched cuffs.
Subjected to two alpha males posturing and undermining each others reason for existence, Cyn attempts to mediate and not kill them both herself during their travels from state to state. But pushed to her limits, Cyn is compelled to seek the manacles current owner solo to escape the constant tension between her former lover and the Vampire mate she would die for in a heartbeat.
As with all the stories in this fabulous series, COMPELLED provides marvellous dialogue, exceptional world building and continues to exhibit the unquenchable passion between this captivating couple.
And just to keep the juices flowing and to whet your appetite for more, there is an exciting snippet at the end of the story to introduce some characters that will grace the pages of the coming spin-off series The Stone Warriors.
Love Love this story. A must read!
