Dark Taste of Rapture: Alien Huntress book 6

With one caress, he can give unforgettable pleasure . . . or unending pain. . . .

Hector Dean is shaved, tattooed, and totally ripped—and he has a deadly secret. He is a walking weapon, capable of killing with a single brush of his fingertips. Little wonder he’s determined to remain on his own. But Noelle Tremain is a temptation like no other. She is beautiful and rich, with a party girl smile that hides a shocking vulnerability, and from the beginning his sizzling attraction to her is undeniable. For the first time, his stone-cold resistance is tested. But to be with her, he risks destroying her.

When a wealthy businessman is murdered in New Chicago’s seediest district, the two are partnered, and there’s no escaping what they both want: each other. Yet neither Hector nor Noelle knows what to fear more—the killer case, or their own lethal desires. . . . (get your Dark Taste of Rapture…)

“Not my favorite that I’ve read in the series, but an enjoyable read none the less.  In book 5 Ecstasy in Darkness, Ava emerged as a little “bad ass”.  That story started out with an annoying little “pocket rocket” and her equally rough and even more annoying but not from the mean streets BFF, Noelle.  While it did not deal with the over arching plot of the evil queen, it was a rather sweet story that did deserve telling… almost a novella to give you just a little bit more of McKell and to let you know how Ava got her fangs.  Just as Ava was a product of her past, overly tough to conceal just how being kicked around by life had hurt her, we learn that her partner in crime, Noelle is a book that can’t quite be judged by her cover.  I expected that of the smokin’ hot and brooding Hector, but not so much of Noelle.  I’ve known women who are so over the top mean because they are just that insecure, so it hit a personal note with me.  If Ava bugged you, Noelle will irritate you.  If you loved Tits McGee for what she was, enjoyed the back and forth between her and Noelle, and like a sweet story for it’s own sake, pick up this title.  Besides, this is my next favorite cover to stare at after Ecstasy in Darkness” – admin
