Fitzgibbons was young and reckless. It was easy for Ronan to steal her human
life and make her a vampire. She ran, but she never forgot him--or how he made
her feel.
Rider saved Bronwyn from the new life she loathed and the new self she detested. His love restored her sanity.
Now Ronan is back to claim her. She struggles like hell against him, but she cannot deny the overwhelming power of her maker. Will Bronwyn surrender to the one who could possess her utterly? Or can she find the strength to choose the one who loves her as she is?

Review:
This book was very fast paced. It was a pretty short book. The characters were pretty likable, except for Ronan. Ronan was the bad boy after Bronwyn's heart. He was her maker. Rider is the good guy. He truly loves and wants to be with Bronwyn. She can't decide between the two. They are both in her life competing for a place in her heart. On top of all this they are involved in a werewolf dispute. With all these problems Browyn is overwhelmed. It was a pretty uncomplicated world, which was nice because I am a little tired of a lot of world building. I liked the simplicity of it. It has vampires, werewolves, and fae. I always love when werewolves are included, since they are my favorite supernatural being. It sounded like there is going to be a second book, so I will definitely be checking that out.

Excerpt:
She hated herself right now, loathed what she was doing to
Rider and to herself. After a while, she grew tired of hating herself; so she
wandered into her room. She lay down on her bed, wanting nothing more than to
turn off the horrible thoughts in her head.
She heard a soft tap at the window. She knew who it would be
before she turned to look. “I can’t do this tonight Ronan; I thought I made
myself clear when I left earlier.”
“You said what you wanted to say, yes? I, however, did not.
I’m asking as a courtesy to you; so either open the window or I will break it.”
His tone left no room to refuse.
Bronwyn got up slowly and opened the window, allowing him
entrance into the room. He sat down on the bed and studied her before speaking.
“Would you care to sit?” He gestured to the bed next to him.
“I’ll stand, thanks.” She shot back and leaned back against
her dresser. “Say what you have to say and leave, Ronan, I’m really not in the
mood for this.”
“I’m not going to change, you know that. The idea of having a
soul or a conscience is absurd to me. We are Vampire!” he shouted. Ronan’s
expression softened, “I love you Bronwyn; you’ve intrigued me since I first saw
you. I sired you because once I spoke to you, I could not be without you.” He
was next to her in a split second and he gently caressed her cheek.
Despite her earlier resolve, she turned into him and kissed
his lips. “Loving you has never been the issue, Ronan; I never stopped. I just
can’t stand the senseless killing.”
“Did you, yourself, not kill tonight? I tasted blood on your
lips,” He said..
“I did; but you and I both know it's different.”
“It’s not.”
Bronwyn looked at him, sadly. “This is where we always end
up.” Tears slipped down her cheeks, leaving behind red streaks. She tried to
hold them back, but everything within her was broken. “I can’t just turn off my
humanity like a switch. I refuse to do that, Ronan. I. Will. Not.” She sobbed
into his chest, beating her hands against him.
“I can’t let you go,” he whispered into her hair. He tipped
her chin up and brushed his lips against her. “Is this where we are then?” He
whispered.
“I can’t...”
He kissed her once more and vanished into the night.
