ALL SHE WANTS IS REVENGE.New Orleans homicide detective Charlotte Caissie is dedicated to bringing down the crime boss responsible for her father’s murder.

Well hell...I'm going to continue this series...and it's going to make me crazy with the angst of it all. I'm still not liking Cee Cee much, but I do already love Max...such a sucker for the tortured hero am I. For most of this first installment, the only character I liked was Max...the others were just mercilessly using him (including Cee Cee). In a surprising twist, the ending has Max taking control of his destiny from the users. Time will tell if the cop and criminal can co-exist. It promisesI wanted to like this book better. It had a lot going for it. The writing was well done. The werewolf part was interesting. The way he had been manipulated as he grew up to keep him emotionally dependent on the mob boss was interesting although it made him a bit too beta for my taste. The way he was so crazy about her was nice although it caused him to forgive her for all her doubts and betrayals. It seemed there was no real reason for him to love her beyond hot sex.I didn't care for the
3 starsWhile this book started out strong, it didn't continue without issues for me. Detective Charlotte (Cee Cee) Caissie is a member of New Orleans homicide team. She's working on a case in which bodies have had their throat and heart ripped out. She has a suspect in mind but proving it is another thing. My first issue with this is the crime seems to be glossed over. If something like this occurred, newspaper would run amuck with stories, and the people would 1) be scared out of their minds 2)
Way more of a romance than an urban fantasy. Charlotte is a detective in New Orleans. A rubbish one but that's ok because the murder mystery doesn't amount to much anyway. Max is the bodyguard of the underworld crime king and he has been in love with Charlotte for years. Cue much angst and drama.The setting of New Orleans is massively underused. I understand that New Orleans is an unusual city with a distinctive style and atmosphere but this could have been set anywhere. The story outside of
A werewolf! In New Orleans! Organized crime! Ravaged murders! A werewolf in New Orleans as the muscle behind the success of organized crime leader Jimmy Legere. The book begins hard and heavy beginning with a loser leaving his wife to a buddy of his to have fun with for a few dollars so he can gamble and shortly after their savaged bodies are found and the wife and baby are gone. Cue Detective Charlotte "CeeCee" Caissie on the case. Charlotte has a deep seeded hatred towards Legere as he had her
3.5 STARSThis book had a lot of potential. It had a lot of things I liked. Hot, alpha shapeshifter - checkkick ass detective - checkcrime world - checkmystery - checkYet somehow it fell woefully short. I didn't like it much. I don't think I'll be reading the next book in the series. I hated how the H and h kept breaking up and hurting each other. Also, I was really irritated with the editing. A lot of times I could never figure out who was talking. I had to back up and re-read quite frequently.
I think I would have given this read 4 stars if not that this is a new theme for me and those that I have read and never finished left me like ...ah.. I'll pick it back up. I enjoyed this book much more then I had thought I would. Please note that the shifter/wolf world is new to me. Max is a deadly killer "owned" my is master/father thug Jimmy Legere, that has the city of New Orleans on lock down to his power. When Max is introduced I found him alluring, very dark and his responses were spot on
