As I have said in the past, this is one of my favorite series and authors. The story continues to grow and encompass all the characters from past books so you get a feel of continuity, the stories are all interconnected. I am always glad that there are new types of supernaturals introduced as potential mates so you do not have only the usual suspects. Great characters, great locations, great situations, and great dialogue.
Jake Louviere realizes that as his Alpha rises he can no longer deny what is happening to him. His beast starts to insist that he take his rightful place as Alpha even if that means killing his friend if he will not leave Acadian Wolves. He has to decide whether to commit that betrayal or to leave New Orleans forever and move across the country. When a mysterious woman shows up on his doorstep he is wary of the creature that he senses is not a wolf.
Kai Beckett has been hiding her true nature and identity her whole life in order to conceal herself from those who would steal her ancient powers. When her sister is taken she has no choice but to try and find her and she intends to enlist the help of the Alpha who left San Diego and the pack to return home to NOLA. Kai makes things more complicated however because she does not go directly to Jake but heads to someone who wants what she has and the chase is on.
There are danger and intrigue at every turn for these two and anyone helping them.
The story was very erotic and the storyline was interesting and entertaining. Love this series. Can’t wait for the next one.

The book has a great plot, lots of action to keep things moving, with some romance thrown in. The three main characters are interesting and have great chemistry. A very good paranormal mystery/romance.

I love Kym Grosso!!!
Jake Louvière finds that he can no longer deny that he is meant to be an Alpha . . . even if that means leaving behind his beloved pack and home in New Orleans. While struggling with this decision, he comes across a beautiful and mysterious woman while running on the bayou and is immediately drawn to her magic and beauty . . .however, before he can discover just who she is and what she is doing on his property, she is whisked away by one of Jake’s old adversaries, the vampire Quintus.
Kai Beckett is a supernatural that has been hiding her identity for centuries. When she finds her sister is missing, she knows she must seek help to find her. She also needs someone string enough to protect her from the other supernaturals who seek to use and control her powers for their own benefit. She knows that Jake was meant to be her Alpha and seeks him out. Before she can explain why she is there, she is swept away b Quintus, the ancient vampire who has been protecting her without her knowledge.
Jake and Kai’s chemistry is explosive, but as she is not wolf, can they truly be mates? Regardless, Jake vows to help Kai find her sister and defeat the evil that stalks her for her powers. Quintus also pledges himself and Jake and the vampire find themselves working together to save both Kai and her sister from the danger surrounding them and Jake’s new pack in Southern California.
Kym Grosso continues to weave spell-binding tales with her Immortals of New Orleans series. Jake is an erotic adventure that takes readers from the magical city of New Orleans all the way to the beaches of Southern California. While the books focus is on Jake, Kai and Quintus, it is nice to see characters from past books making appearances to keep the flow and continuity of the series moving forward.
Kym has an amazing way of creating dynamic characters that never stop growing and changing. Each character is unique and some constantly surprise and keep readers guessing as to their true motivations. The plot for this book was also action packed and seriously hot with some very erotic scenes between the main characters. While meant for a more mature reading audience, the sex scenes, while scorching, are also tastefully down and are important to the story line to keep things moving forward.
With a unique plot, dynamic characters, seduction, intrigue, danger and more, Jake will keep readers turning page after page to find out just who Kai Beckett is as well as if Jake will claim his spot as Alpha. 5 stars!
Love , love, love this book!
This series just gets better and better with each book!!!
It seems like fans have been waiting forever for this book but it was so worth the wait!!! Jake’s story is a bit unique in this series, but so much the better for the difference! From the very beginning we are drawn in and held captive until the very last page!
Jake just wants to be what he has always been, an Acadian wolf with no ties to anything but his pack. But Fate has other ideas for him, no matter how hard he fights! His story will take us from the bayous of Louisiana to New Orleans, all the way to the West Coast. Lots of unexpected twists and turns along the way!!!
Come along for the ride of your (or Jake’s) life. Whether this is your first book in the series or you’ve read every one, you won’t be able to put it down until the very last page!!!
Oh, and that epilogue!!!! WOW!!!!
I enjoy all the books in this series, set in New Orleans. I remain a big fan of
Kym Grosso who never fails to keep you on the edge of your seat.
