When college student Rena Collins finds herself nose-to-chest with the campus outcast, her rumor-laced notions are shattered. Handsome, considerate, and seemingly sane, Wallace Blake doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, screaming and banging on the walls of his dorm room. Hell, he doesn’t look like he spends his nights alone, period.
Too curious for her own good, Rena vows to uncover the truth behind Wallace’s madman reputation--and how two seconds of contact had left her with bruises. Of course, there are a few setbacks along the way: guilt, admiration, feelings of the warm and fuzzy variety…
Not to mention the unwanted attention of Wallace's powerful, supernaturally-gifted family.
They’re a bloodline divided by opposing ideals, two soon-to-be warring factions that live in secret among us. When Rena ends up caught in their crossfire, Wallace has no choice but to save her by using his powers. Now they’re really in trouble. With war on the horizon and Rena’s life in the balance, he needs to put some distance between them. But Rena won’t let go. If fighting is what it takes to prove her own strength and keep Wallace in her life, then that’s what she’ll do--even if it means risking a whole lot more than her heart.

My Review:
First, I would like to thank the author, Carrie Butler for the opportunity to do an ARC review on her novel!
Ok, now to the review, I just loved this book! It had great pacing, it didn't feel like it was dragging, which I hate! I loved the character of Wallace *swoon*, I imagined him to look like "The Rock", huge muscles and towering. When I started to read this book, I totally forgot that it was a paranormal romance story, then when Wallace mentions that he's a Dynari to Rena, I was like " oh right, this is a PARANORMAL romance", which I think is a good thing, the only thing that really hinted to him being "different" was that he was so strong he left bruises on Rena. There were also twists I didn't see coming, which I won't mention what they were, but definitely had me thinking WTF. This book is a must read for anyone who likes paranormal romance and just plain romance, since I thought the paranormal element wasn't too overwhelming.
