Format: Mass Market Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
PLOT: Tiger-shifter Aiden, along with friends Kellan and Nick, has been sent to protect 3-year old Jamie and her guardian Olivia and bring them back to their compound in Colorado.

PROS: Olivia and Aiden are likeable characters. Their attraction is obvious from the start. Touch of Seduction is well written with a decent plot that is fairly well paced.

CONS: Right up until the end, Aiden, Olivia, and their group are traveling to get to safety. Unless it's contemporary literature built around a road trip and character development, I'm going to go ahead and say, that no romance novel should ever spend the entire plot on the road. Especially if they're not alone. It's boring and makes the effort for characters to find "special" time seem more contrived.

There's a war going on in this series that seems to be getting more complicated rather than building to a conclusion. There are two more books (at the least) in this series. I don't know if the author has planned a conclusion to the war yet, but reading about it, it feels as though she's making it up "Lost"/"Heroes" Season 2 style as she goes along. There is something so vague here about the entire struggle that it just doesn't feel real.

Finally, the reader knows Aiden's motives for not wanting a serious relationship with Olivia, but his constant offers of a no strings affair should have been insulting and offensive to her. Even when she gives in, I rather wanted her to keep saying no.

3 STARS. Touch of Seduction is Book 4 in the Primal Instinct Series and it reads like book 4. There is a MUCH needed glossary of terms in the rear of the novel. A glossary! In a romance novel!

First - I made a mistake of thinking that this novel was the first in the series because of the (Hqn) part of the title - I did not realize that Edge of Hunger was the first. For the first 1/4 part of the book, I was really lost because I did not have enough background information to understand what was going on at first. I kinda caught up midway and was able to read without being so lost. I did not reduce the rating because I should have checked further before buying the book. For people considering this series - DO NOT START WITH THIS NOVEL!

Why I rated this novel between 3 & 4 stars:
Pros:
Alpha male - Aiden, tiger shifter, was definitely all Alpha - dominate but caring

Strong Female character - Olivia Harcourt - while knowing that she did not have the physical strength to fight, she did have the moral & mental strength to bravely do what she had to do in order to safeguard or save her niece.

Originality - good plot line with actions and in-depth details

High heat factor - I do like a little (okay, sometimes a lot) of heat in some of my books. I don't really like graphic porn - but a descriptive love scene does do it for me.

HEA - I need and want a HEA.

Cons:
I had a hard time relating to the female protagonist at times. While Olivia was totally aware that she was out of her element in dealing with the supernatural bad guys, she was able to bravely do what she had to do. Yet, too many times she acted not in a submissive way but more like a doormat when came to Aiden. There is a world of difference between being a submissive and being a doormat.

Also, the novel slowed down at times because of all the traveling.

the reluctant hero who gets blindsided by his love interests tantalizing scent. Great story I've read several times, loving the tension both emotional and sexual between the two. The little girl is a lovely addition to the story. Of course good monsters and bad monsters fill out the rest of the story. I'm not plot spoiler so don't expect me to give away the author's hard work. She did a wonderful job and I've read other books by her just because I enjoyed this one so well.

Format: Mass Market Paperback
Bad boy shapeshifting Watchman Aiden is sent to protect a half witch/Merrick child and her Aunt Olivia. From the moment Aiden scents Olivia, Aiden is drawn to her, even though abuse in his childhood has left Aiden with a distrust of human females. But even though Aiden knows he 'should' pass his charges off to the other Watchmen and put distance between himself and the woman who threatens his control of his barely leashed beast - Aiden finds himself unable to let go of the woman he knows he will never be able to trust.

This was a mixed read for me. I really liked the intensity of romance between the shy insecure school teacher and the gorgeous almost feral shifter with his own painful sense of unworthiness. And I liked both that Byrd shifted focus from the Merricks to the Watchmen and that in this fourth book, we finally get both a good hero and a good heroine - one who is brave without being too stupid to live and one who has enough self-worth not to beg for the love she deserves.

What I didn't like, and this may be enough to keep me from continuing with the series, is that Byrd is just too heavy handed with the villains in this series. Although as readers we need to know that the Cassus are just too evil, I have a really hard time revisiting their depravity each and every book - their ultimate pleasure is feeding on flesh during rape - and there's not a word with enough yuck-ness to describe how distasteful I find this. Since the series is romance centric, the switch back and forth is even more disturbing to me - between wonderful romantic sex and murderous evil sex -eeww.
