Diablo Lake #2

by Lauren Dane

Goodreads blurb:  New York Times bestselling author Lauren Dane welcomes you back to Diablo Lake, Tennessee: a town founded by witches, governed by werewolves and full of secrets

Tensions are building in Diablo Lake as the two main rival Packs vie for control, and the town is divided along lines of Pack loyalty. Aimee Benton and Mac Pembry are on opposite sides and he seems to find excuses to spar with her daily. He's infuriating—not to mention charming, gorgeous and oh-so-lickable.

Mac can't resist pushing Aimee's buttons. She's always been incredibly sexy, and the wolf in him craves a female with fire in her belly. When a heated argument ends with a sizzling kiss and Mac gets a taste of her, he craves more—and she can't seem to get enough of him, either. The forbidden nature of their attraction stokes their desires until they're secretly hooking up whenever they can.

But then Mac's clan goes too far, and Aimee shuts him out. She's hurt and angry—but that's nothing compared to the rage Mac is feeling toward his own Pack. A fight is brewing that will plunge the whole town into chaos, and someone will have to cross Pack lines to keep the town's fragile peace from breaking apart for good. 

About the Author:  Lauren Dane has been writing stories since she was able to use a pencil, and before that she used to tell them to people. Of course, she still talks nonstop, and through wonderful fate and good fortune, she’s now able to share what she writes with others. It’s a wonderful life!

The basics: Lauren is a mom, a partner, a best friend and a daughter. Living in the rainy but beautiful Pacific Northwest, she spends her late evenings writing like a fiend when she finally wrestles all of her kids to bed.

My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!!

***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!!  Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book!

This is the 2^nd book in the series, but I didn’t realize that when I started reading it.  I own the first book, so I’ll be reading it soon.  This book is for adults only due to the steamy content.

This book had me from the start.  There is tons of action, drama, jerks, and romance to keep you engaged in the book.  Mac is awesome, and I loved him from the start.  His parents and one brother…not so much!  Aimee is amazing, caring, and strong.  I love how she is always thinking of others.  It is a trait you don’t see a lot in the real world, and I wish we did see it more. 

Lauren Dane has made it to my list of authors that I know I will enjoy.  Shifter stories are my favorite kind of romance, and she does it well.  I can’t wait to read more of her stories.

I highly recommend this book to any lover of paranormal because you have shifters, witches, magic, and romance to make your toes curl!
