Alpha's Promise by Rebecca Zanetti



 ABOUT THE BOOK 

To hell and back . . .

Though he has vampire, demon, and Viking blood rushing through his veins, Ivar Kjeidsen’s soul-crushing trip to hell broke him in ways he can barely fathom. One vow keeps the deadly immortal standing: To rescue the vampire brother who had sacrificed freedom for him. To do that, Ivar needs the help of a brilliant physicist with wary brown eyes, fierce brilliance, and skin that's way too soft.

Dr. Promise Williams understands the underpinnings of the universe but has never figured out the human beings inhabiting it. Her function is to think—and not feel—until she’s touched by a vampire who’s nowhere near human. The primal hunger in his eyes awakens feelings in her that defy calculation. As she shows him the way to step between worlds, he brands her with a pleasure that could last more than a lifetime . . .



 REVIEW 


Alpha's Promise by Rebecca Zanetti is part of the Dark Protectors series. I am quite fond of a good supernatural urban fantasy/ romance, and this one grabbed my attention. It is optional to read the previous books all pertinent information becomes available when necessary. I, however, went back to the beginning in anticipation of reading an early copy of Alpha's Promise, and I am glad I did. Knowing first hand is well worth it.

The Dark Protectors series has a varied preternatural population. Fae, Demons, Vampires, and Shifters all share an alliance. I enjoy varied species working together against a common adversary.  I feel things are more exciting that way it keeps things from getting stagnant.  All the male characters in Alpha's Promise are charming and witty, with a healthy dose of dominance. Some might find that dominance a little over the top, but I find it fits them perfectly. Ivar and Promise are an entertaining couple with great chemistry. I found Promise's emotional awakening intriguing and unique. The mystery/ thriller aspect of the plot plays out very well. The path to their end game is enjoyable, and the next installment sets up nicely. I eagerly await the continuation of these stories.
