If there\u2019s ever any\u00adthing that will help me clear my mind of all things con\u00adtem\u00adpo\u00adrary romance, this will do it. Although this isn\u2019t a&nbsp;romance, there are some very sexy scenes, and some extreme\u00adly alpha male scenes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Alexa O\u2019Brien has nev\u00ader been like oth\u00ader peo\u00adple. A&nbsp;dead\u00adly assas\u00adsin, she is a&nbsp;were\u00adwolf with extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnary pow\u00ader. Pow\u00ader that fierce\u00adly draws her to Arys, a&nbsp;mys\u00adte\u00adri\u00adous vam\u00adpire who awak\u00adens her dark side.

She would like noth\u00ading more than to watch kar\u00adma at work but as the body count ris\u00ades, long buried secrets are exposed. Alexa is forced to face the painful truth that not every\u00adone is who she thinks they are. Not even&nbsp;her.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is book one of an ongo\u00ading series.
