I received this book as an ARC.

This book reminded me of the Immortals After Dark series, the Midnight Breed series, and the Demonica series. Not the actual storyline, of course. What I mean is that it has the same feel as those other series. The world is set up and easy to understand, but the focus is definitely not on the world building. Most of the focus, and the factor that makes the book shine, is the character relationships and interactions. There's a lot of humor and even More...

3.75 Stars Paranormal/Urban-Fantasy

The Primal Instinct series by Rhyannon Byrd is one of the two paranormal/urban-fantasy series that I indulge in. I didn't start out with this series from the 1st book itself, but rather took the plunge with book 4 in the series Touch of Seduction which hooked me onto the series and its fabulous set of characters who all seem to be finding their happily ever afters in the midst of a war that continues to wreak havoc on their society of preternatura More...

I love the Primal Instinct series, and yet for some reason I put off reading this one. Maybe it was because I know the series is drawing to a close, maybe it just got lost in the mountain my TBR pile has grown into. I don't know, but when I finally did sit down to read it, I was so glad I did.

Touch of Temptation is Kellan's turn...wild, sexy Kellan. He has been portrayed in the past books as a bit of a screw up and playboy - well meaning, but easily sidetracked by by a pair of, um, More...

In the paranormal battle of good vs. evil, Kellan, a Lycan shape-shifter, is on the good side, but hasn’t always made the right decisions. In fact within their warrior group, he is known as a womanizer and he is beginning to feel like a real screw up.

Then Kellan, gets one look at the picture of the missing witch, Chloe and he suddenly feels drawn to change his life. He can’t get her out of his mind, so he sets himself up to be captured and taken to where she is.

I love, More...

Here we have the 6th installation of the Primal Instincts Series.

This book is Kellan and Chloe's story.

Two books ago, Kellan saw Chloe's picture while helping Aiden keep Olivia and Jamie safe. Chloe had been kidnapped by the Kraven and since that day Kellan has been driven to rescue her.

Chloe is not only a merrick, but a Mallory Witch, and the curse that has plagued her bloodline for centuries has made her reluctant to accept any type of emotional proclamations.

This was the book I was desperate to read! Touch of Temptation was everything I wanted it to be and much, much more. It was great. I was so glad I read the previous two books because otherwise I really would have been confused and wouldn’t have known what was going on. Kellan ends up falling for Chloe from a picture Olivia shows him right back in book 4, Touch of Seduction, then Kellan has this mad plan to get Chloe free by getting himself captured in Touch of Surrender and only Morgan can find More...

I love this series, I just wish Byrd wrote faster. Kellen's story starts in the previous book (Keirland and Morgan's). He has set off across the wasteland to rescue Chloe from Westmore, crossing paths with a nest of vampires who he gets caught up in a fight with, that leaves him poisoned. Racing against the poison and the clock to free Chloe, Kellen struggles to get Chloe free before the Casus catches up with them. Kellen is trying to redeem himself by rescuing Chloe, but it is Chloe who rescues More...

Acomplicated story that is a continuation of situations and circumstances begun in the previous five books. Kellon Scott was introduced in book one but only now comes into his own. He has finally matured and is determined to rescue Chloe Harcourt, a young beautiful witch who has been taken prisoner by a sadistic warmonger bent on power grabbing and needs her unique abilities. A really great love story at the core but lots of suspense and action swirling and fomenting around the main character More...

What the heck?! <spoiler>The good guys deliberately let the bad guys get away three times! And two of those bad guys are still on the lam!</spoiler> My reaction wasn't "That makes sense," but "What the...!" And RB had a thing for telling us about what people said in narrative form, instead of letting them speak for themselves in dialogue. What kind of writing is that? Maybe she was rushed.

Oh well, I'm overlooking those things for some reason and gi More...

I have a hard time saying whether are not this was not the best book in this series or not. Not sure, but it does rate far up there! I loved Chloe and Kellan as a couple. Kellan is that bad boy we all want to meet and reform. And, Chloe is that good girl who has a bad girl just waiting inside for the right man.
Kellan Scott is a Lycan watchman from the other five books in this series who has been a very bad boy. Now he decides he will rescue Chloe from a very sadistic captor to make up for More...

I am still on fire after reading this book, it's definately a panty dropper...lol ;)It really was that freakin hot...I loved it!!!!...Chloe and Kellan rock....He was just sexy as hell, the way that the author described everything about him throughout the duration of the book (shudder)...And Chloe didn't get on my nerves and for me that's a huge feat for me because the female heroines in these paranormal romance books usually pluck my last nerve...I was cool with both of them....And the sex scene More...

Rating: 3.5 stars but Goodreads doesn't allow for 1/2 stars.
Heat Level: 4 Bonfire

Kellan Scott, “Watchman. Werewolf. And world-class fuckup,” is determined to do one good thing with his wasted life before he dies. That one good thing is to save the witch, Chloe Harcourt, from Gregory DeKreznick—the Casus who awakened her Merrick and will kill her to consume her power.

From the moment Kellan saw Chloe’s photo and learned of her plight, he’s been obsessed with her rescue. More...

I love a book that has the hero and heroine think they aren't good enough for the other, and boy does this book have this in spades. Kellen is the screw up in his group of friends, while Chloe is fighting her Mallory/Merrick heritage. You can't help but to fall for Kellen right along with Chloe as he fights his own nature to do what would be better for her rather than do what he wanted. Chloe wasn't able to help him much as her Merrick was coming to the forefront causing her to say outrageous More...

Best book in the series so far. Kellan was a favorite of mine, and you could see his progression as a devil-may-care fighter, to a caring warrior. And Chloe was a great counterpart, strong and a fighter in her own right. To suffer what she did at the compound, and to still put her faith in him, says much about his pull. Despite herself, she still falls for him. It was adorable that she couldn't believe that Kellan would love her without the curse. I liked the many secondary characters; their con More...

There is just something about a male who feels unworthy of love that just makes me all gushy. LOL

I was afraid that Kellan's self loathing would get on my nerves, but thankfully it didn't. As a playboy/werewolf shifter/and screw up, he continually feels that he's not deserving of the kind of love that his friends and brother have found. Chloe, a Mallory witch/merrick, instantly feels that her curse is what's making Kellan attracted to her.

This book had a lot of recaps More...

Love this series, and Kellan (the hero in this installment) is my favorite character since it started. We have watched him grow and mature into a very worthy hero. Luckily he is paired with a just as worthy heroine. Plus he's a were, so the sex scenes are HOT.

I liked this well enough to search for the other books in series, though not enough to buy brand new. Kellan's a real man whore but redemms himself, and Byrd does a good job of making him likeable.

Writing review..this is one complicated book if you haven't read the series. Too complicated with too many outside characters and not enough of the main two.

This is another great addition to this series. I liked as much as I have liked the first part of the series. The characters never disappoint me and they keep coming back in each book. Thanks to that this is one of the better series.
