“Just a solid romance that draws on everything alpha about a paranormal hero and takes us on an entertaining ride. And entertained I was.” ~ Under the Covers

When I read the first book in this series I remember thinking that it was a good story and the plot of the series was really intriguing, but it left me wanting a bit more. So I was both excited and scared to go into this one. I wanted this one to live up to the potential of this series! But I was scared to have high expectations. I shouldn’t have worried. Larissa made me happy, once again!

Even though this didn’t have the level of sexual intensity, I guess, that I’ve come to expect with Larissa’s stories, that didn’t take away from the fact that these two were hot and sensual together. There’s something about Hunter that even though he’s a vampire it makes me see him as a shifter. There’s a rawness about him. A loyalty to his clan. The power that surrounds his persona. I found him alluring and intoxicating. There’s no need for bad boys when you can get one good to the bone but that will tear to shreds anyone that dares touch what’s his.

When we left off book one, Hunter had agreed to take on a mate from another clan to help rescue one of his own and his mate. Now as he receives his future mate in his home, he realizes he has a deep connection to her twin sister. Good and evil, Rasha and Aylin are polar opposites. One has had everything she’s wanted her whole life, growing up bloodthirsty and with all the power given to her by being the daughter of the head of the clan. But Aylin has only faced hardships. Being born with a disfigurement, and walking with a limp, she’s seen as less than everyone else in her clan, always made aware of her place in the food chain. She’s always known not to wish for things she couldn’t have. But she’s also always had a brave and good heart.

Aylin and Hunter were truly perfect for each other. I loved seeing their attraction grow from an easy friendship to a combustible love. CHAINED BY NIGHT was a sweet and sexy ride, full of action and adventure. The kind that you want to go back to almost as soon as you’ve had to put the book down. The forbidden love story, that shows us that true love can conquer anything and they will face whatever obstacles they have to and be together. This book reminded me why I fell in love with paranormal romance in the first place. Books and stories like this. We don’t need the sex acrobatics or a crazy twist. Just a solid romance that draws on everything alpha about a paranormal hero and takes us on an entertaining ride. And entertained I was. I can’t wait for more from these vampires!

I’m a 30 something sun lover living in the Big Apple (read New York).I’m a book and coffee addict and lover of all things elephants.

I get easily distracted by pictures of sexy guys and have tons of book boyfriends.I keep all my alpha males chained to my basement and guard them fiercely.*Back off bitches*I like to see Jason Momoa as a lot of those boyfriends, because ….. mmmmmmm JASON.MOMOA!

I’m a part time graphic designer (yes, everything you see on UTC has been done by me), run my husband's business from home and on a good day I’m a self appointed superwoman (she who can do it all).I love blogging with my girls and I couldn’t do it any other way!My first love is everything paranormal, but in the past few years I’ve re-learned to love contemporary romance.Every once in a while I like to mix things up with a historical romance, a steampunk or an LGBT book.Because I need variety to avoid book slumps.I don’t always need an HEA although I prefer one, and I love authors that can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.
