About this book
Alaina has spent a lifetime searching for the truth about her stolen identity, even as the walls of her world begin to crumble. She is a woman haunted by secrets, caught in a desperate struggle to reclaim her past while a dangerous future lunges for her throat. When she finally crosses paths with Dax, she is forced to confront a reality she isn’t ready to accept: she is his fated mate, and their bond is the only thing standing between his kingdom and total annihilation.
Dax has waited seven years for this moment, but his soulmate is a wildfire he cannot tame. As a royal leader, he needs Alaina by his side to survive the onslaught of rogue shifters and bloodthirsty vampires closing in on his borders. Their clash is a volatile mix of enemies-to-lovers tension and raw, primal attraction, but his enemies are watching, waiting for the exact moment to strike at his heart by taking the woman who belongs to him.
This addictive paranormal romance is not for the faint of heart. It is a heavy, emotionally charged journey that dives deep into the dark corners of the shifter genre. If you crave intense, high-stakes storytelling that doesn’t shy away from shadows, this is your next obsession.

Come for Me: Part 2 by C.J. Sweet picks up right where book one left off and it does not let up. The emotions in this story are so heavy at times, but you’re completely unable to stop listening. The character growth in this book is phenomenal. Watching Alaina come into her strength and truly evolve was so powerful, and King Dax? Utter perfection. His protectiveness, his unwavering love, the way he sees her… ugh, I melted. This story is packed with tension, heartbreak, growth, spice, and so much...

The book is well written as a sequel to the first book. It’s an easy read but also with noting spice and the dark romance is heavy on the DARK. If dark is not your scene this is not a book for you. I enjoyed reading through their love story and felt their deep connection through. The side characters love story was a good surprise as well. Overall, it was a good series and I’d read it again. ) 2 people found this helpful

I absolutely loved book 1 and 2 of the Hunt series. There were twists and turns I genuinely did not anticipate. Dax is my number 1 book boyfriend, for sure. The author is a mental health professional, and as such, in this book the FMC goes through sexual trauma, there is a warning within the book just prior to the chapter, and it explains that if that kind of content is triggering for the reader you can just jump ahead to the next chapter wherein the author essentially wrote up a synopsis of...

I'm kind of torn on this. It was better than book 1. However, it's still very choppy pacing. We get plenty of long and detailed pages of kinky sex, but very little actual regular interactions between Alaina and Dax until the last 20% of the book. On the other hand, we get lots of interaction with her and Colin. Spoilers ahead here: Of course they finally found Dax at the beginning, but before that her depression was the most I actually appreciated her so far. They're back together for a short...

C.J. Sweet is a literary genius! The anticipation for part 2 had me biting my nails and on the edge of my seat. We pick up right where we left off in part one of Dax and Alaina’s story and oof did it pack a punch! CJ’s writing style is so easy to follow and keeps you invested and hanging onto every words she writes. The emotional whiplash that CJ delivers in this one…be ready. Andi Eloise and Joe Arden did it again, delivering such captivating and emotionally charged performances. Alaina...
