First of all, let me point out that DESIRING RED ends in a cliffhanger, and what a cliffhanger it is! I hadn’t even read the last word, that I was already wishing for the next instalment. Ivy Douglas is a pre-shifter, a werewolf who is yet to shift, and she had never been actively looking for a mate, but now she’s left with only six hours to choose the one, or she’ll be stuck in an arranged marriage by the Omega, the oldest in the pack, if she is to belong to the pack. While taking a stroll in a park and pondering on her future, she meets the most gorgeous werewolf: Reaper. He is the Omega’s grandson, thus off-limits – sigh! – but he is not really supposed to be there; Reaper is actively searching for his parents’ murderer. And thus begins DESIRING RED. Kristin Miller writes fabulous paranormal romances, and this first instalment of a new series doesn’t disappoint! As expected, it’s extremely well-written, the dialogues are sexy and fun, and the descriptions are just fabulous: I could easily picture Arcana Castle in all its glory. While I often find it difficult to digest, Ms. Miller made the instalust entirely plausible, because Ivy is also perplexed by how she is attracted to Reaper and … Well, let’s not digress… DESIRING RED is scorching hot, but I was also quite pleased that the seeds of what promises to be a very intriguing story have been sown, and I can hardly wait for the next episode! DESIRING RED is as complex, intoxicating, and delectable as a tumbler of the finest brandy (wink for those who will read it!). Lots of fine reading ahead from Kristin Miller! I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
