She was a woman who lived in the dark – She brought light into his lonely world – If he lost her, he’d lose more than just his heart, he may lose the rest of his humanity.Ten years ago, Bear Shifter Valerio Orsino followed his heart and moved from Italy to America searching for his mate. There was one moment when he felt as though he’d come so very close, only to have the feeling slip away like a … away like a ghost, and so he stayed hoping that Fate would play his hand. His brothers followed him to NY and now, his older brother, Salvatore, is happily mated. An odd twist of fate puts him in the right place to be a hero, but unlike the countless times he has assisted other people, the woman he finds in his arms just may save him in return… the curvy beauty is his mate, his love, his destiny… and she’s blind.
Allegra Rossetti has lived in darkness for nearly a decade. After a vicious attack left her blind and withdrawn, she gave up on her music and the rest of the world. As time went on, the music that lived in her heart would not be denied and she ventured back into the world outside, if just to breathe the crisp fall air, and hope that this time around life wouldn’t be so cruel to her.
The careless error of another puts Allegra in danger and when she’s pulled into a protective embrace, she is astonished at her reaction. Jealousy took her sight and left her with a fear of intimacy, but with Valerio she finds herself reaching out instead of pulling away.
A vengeful heart threatens to pull them apart and extinguish her light forever. Could Valerio lose what has taken him a lifetime to find? Will Allegra trust him enough to take the leap?

Reina doesn’t disappoint! I haven’t read any of the other Howls Romance books, well other than Her UnBearable Protector. The Orsino brothers are intense! Everything they do they put 110% into. I loved Sal’s story and now Val’s. I can’t wait for Berto’s!
Oh, this book is amazing!
This book is the second in a trilogy about three brothers who are bear shifters. Valencia is the middle brother and he has been waiting to meet his mate and get on with their lives together. Finally, he meets Allegra and the connection between them is very strong. It is a really great book and I really enjoyed reading it.
This is a story full of action, romance, and love with a happily ever after. Valario Orsino moves to NY because he is certain he will meet his mate there. He does but not immediately. He saves her from an attacker in the subway and the love story begins. Allegra was left blinded by an attack of an evil previous boyfriend and her music has helped her put that situation behind her. When Valario saves her, she is immediately drawn to him and is not afraid. This is a beautiful love story that draws you in from the beginning.
His Unbearable Touch is a sweet, emotional entertaining read. Valero, a bear shifter, moved to America from Italy looking for his mate. From the moment he has Allegra in his arms he knows she’s the one he’s been looking for. These two have gone through so much to get their HEA. Can they trust each other to live happily ever after? Another great story by Reina Torres. This author really writes amazing stories that draw the reader in and make you feel as if you truly know the characters. I can’t wait to read Uberto’s story.
An intense, emotional romance read with passion and suspense. The instant connection and chemistry between the two main characters light up the pages. Allegra, the heroine, was written so that you felt her independence and bravery as well as her limitations and vulnerabilities that a blind person might encounter. Valerio is a sexy hot bear shifter hero who is understanding, protective, and supportive. He really shines as Allegra past comes back to cause more trouble. This is the second book of the Orsino Security series. Valerio is the middle brother. I love the interaction between the three brothers and the tightness of the family bond. They are devoted brothers and heroes who love and protect deeply. I’m eagerly waiting for the youngest brother bear story. Enjoyable!
Wow! What an amazing emotional and suspenseful romance. Totally kept me on the edge of my seat trying to see what would happen next. Allegra was not your usual heroine because she’s blind. Don’t think I’ve ever read a romance where the hero or heroine wasn’t in perfect health. But despite her inability to see she was very brave and independent but still knew her limitations and was at times vulnerable. Valerio was a wonderful hero. So understanding and supportive as well as a hot bear shifter. Yum. A very enjoyable read that will keep your heart beating fast, during the sexy times, and at the scary moments. But there is an HEA so no worries about that. Now I can’t wait for baby brother bear, Uberto’s story. The sneak peek at the end of this book makes it sound like it’s gonna be another wild ride.
*I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book*
It takes a special kind of author to be able to write Contemporary romances, sweet romances and also paranormal romances let along paranormal with a side of suspense and Reina Torres does it and does it well! Then to write a heroine with a disability and not make them weak or a victim takes a sensitivity that few have. In Allegra, Ms Torres has wtitten a woman not born with this disability but is the result of a senseless act of domestic abuse. She has made her a strong woman, one that even after what she has been through is willing to face the world to make her dreams come true. Valerie is the perfect hero for Allegea. He sees beyond her blindness, he sees the strong women she has worked hard to overcome. He through he doesn’t want her to put herself in harms he understands the works she had to do to be able to move past what Lance did to her. Another edge of the seat, nail bite Orsino Security Novel. Suspenseful, sexy, steamy it kept me turning the pages long after the light should have been out. If you are on the fence about paranormal pick up one of Reina Torres books in this series, you will be glad you did.
I was provided with this book for an honest review. I really enjoyed this story. The beginning was a little confusing to me, but once past that, all was good. Allegra is a blind cello player with a chamber orchestra. Valerio is the second of three bear shifter brothers. He has been feeling a pull towards someone that caused him to leave Italy to search for her. That pull has him right where Allegra needs him. Once he finds her, he now knows that she is for him. The story of Allegra becoming blind is related in pieces throughout the book. But she has struggled to regain the confidence the live on her own and resume her career. Her reaction to Valerio, while cautious, is still emotional. As she becomes stronger, her past threatens to cause her pain again. Yet, with Valerio and his entire family behind him, she perseveres. The interaction between Allegra and Valerio is paced throughout the book, him trying to hold his bear back and her wanting him, yet still somewhat reluctant. As they get closer, you feel the passion they have for each other. Yet there is still something out there threatening her. Will they get past this? This is a story about survival, passion, and love, Reina Torres brings all of this to life in her writing. I am eagerly looking forward to the next book about brother #3, Uberto.
