Rebecca Zanetti writes really great para normal romance. . I really love her Mercury series. She creates great characters esp her heroes. If you like pnr you won't be disappointed.

This book is part of a spin off series. I would recommend reading the Dark Protectirs first but it's probably not essential, but you will get more out if it. And if you are a fan you're going to love it.

It's a great story with pace and plenty of twists and turns. And of course romance and passion with great characters. Bothe the hero and heroine are likeable and you can sense the chemistry.

My only difficulty was that the sex was a little 50SoG not quite the red room but just a tad too BDSM. It just didn't feel quite right in the context, but if you like RZ's books you'll know she likes to push the envelope re sex scenes. I'm just a little over it when the story and characters don't really demand it.

I received a copy of this e-book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Victoria is working as an Informant for the DEA, trying to get info on who is responsible for a new drug that is out and killing people called Apollo. She is actually being blackmailed by this agent and is only doing it to protect her friend.

She didn't plan on being kidnapped though...and who saves her but Adam Dunne, the brother of her sister's boyfriend. Tori is finding out things she never imagined: there are really witches and vampires? Now she is brought before the Witches' Council. They have ruled she must die because humans must not know about the supernatural. When he cannot change their minds, Adam says he will mate Tori.

Tori is no shrinking violet and is furious with Adam. While Adam is trying to keep her safe, he is also trying to track down whoever is making/distributing Apollo and to clear his family's name of the crimes they have supposedly done.

Adam doesn't know about her working for the DEA or her strange gift, one she doesn't understand herself. As they spend more time together, there is an attraction but Tori says she will not become his mate, even if it causes her to lose her life. Tori doesn't believe in love, or being with someone forever, thanks to her father.

Someone is out to hurt them and want to get rid of all the Dunne brothers and their mates. Can they figure out who is making the Apollo? Can they figure out who wants to hurt the Dunne family?

I had to feel for Tori, her world was turned upside down in an instant. She had always known Adam to be in suits and being very smart. She sees a totally different man, only to add to her confusion. Tori sometimes made her own difficulties because of her distrust of people, especially men, and her tendency to speak her mind before she thinks. She goes through a lot of emotion during this time but maybe it was overdue so she could find her own happiness.

Adam teaches her about her gift and shows an extraordinary amount of patience. She finally learns all men aren't like her father but will it take losing her life to do it?

I loved this story. This is part of a series about the Dunne family and this book was about Adam. I love the family loyalty of this group. Great read!

I liked this book and mostly I liked Adam which is a lot to say considering my allergy to alfa macho man. It was an enjoyable reading and also funny from time to time.

Mi é piaciuto questo libro, ma soprattutto mi é piaciuto Adam, il che é tutto dire considerata la mia allergia al maschio alfa. Per concludere dire che é stata una lettura piacevole e a tratti divertente.

THANKS TO NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

I just love Rebecca Zanetti. Her books are always a must read for me. This one was no different.
Animosity turning love is one of my favorite trope in the literary world. Tori is a wonderful character, spunky and fun and so full of life and hope. I also liked how the whole issue of Simone and the council of nine was resolved. Now I cannot wait for Bear's book.

Three and a half stars, maybe four stars. The fault is with me, I don't like BDSM/ submission and Adam teetered too far into that, not FSoG territory but even a little is too far for me.

So in the last book Lexi's younger sister Tori had been kidnapped with Bear by the Witches and discovered there was a whole wld of the paranormal out there, then she is rescued by big bad Adam Dunne. She's working as an informant for the DEA trying to find out who in the Grizzlies MC is distributing the lethal new drug Apollo.

Adam is also looking for the distributor and manufacturer of Apollo, he is undercover with the Titans of Fire as well as being the lone Dunne Enforcer for the witch nation since his brothers and cousins have been charged with treason.

But can Adam and Tori work together and will they find their man before the ruling council of witches either executes Tori for knowing they exist or declares Adam a traitor?

I wanted more plot and less of Adam withholding sex to force Tori to say he owned her, but that's just me. I know this is standard PNR alpha male behaviour, others will love it. Adam does have some super sexy powers though ;).

I want grumpy Bear's story next, pretty please? And if so I think I have a pretty good idea who his mate will be, just sayin'.

Oh no! I hate to say this, but this is the first - ever, in any series I've read of hers - of Ms Zanetti's that I didn't like. The story was great (I'm addicted to the Realm Enforcers at the moment) but holy smokes - Tori. What the actual Eff? First of her ladies that I absolutely couldn't stand. She wasn't sassy, brassy and bold like the other heroines, she wasn't smart or clever or independent or particularly likable IN. ANY. WAY. She was one of "those" leading ladies - the ones that kept pulling stupid and/or attention grabbing stunts and constantly needed to be kept track of and hauled out of danger. Eye roll. Bratish and horribly childish. No connection at all.
I get that maybe this was the angle: shes NOT the other mates, and struggles with self-confidence and self-image? Maybe? But instead of empathizing and getting that "me too!" feeling... I wanted to wring her neck, and then just abandon her to her own dumb situations and forget all about her.
Therefore, with a weak partner, Adam (WHO I LOVE. AND HAD BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE SERIES) was just "meh". No hot flashes, no butterflies, not even a sigh. I felt sorry for him. I wondered what the heck he saw in her. I was disappointed, because I wanted him to have higher standards for a love interest. Sorry, guy.
So. As I do adore all of the other books in this series (and the Protectors) I am willing to bet that a lot of my distaste for this book is purely personal point of view. Maybe other readers will love her, and them as a couple. It's hard to say. But I believe that Bear's story is next and I am ALL AFLUTTER with expectation over here. I'm so excited.

4.5*s

In a previous book, Victoria Monzelle (the sister of Lexi from WICKED RIDE) witnessed witch fire and became aware of the world of immortals. She was kidnapped and brought before the witch's council, then held hostage under threat of death.

Adam Dunne is a loyal witch's council enforcer. He's the cerebral, controlled, buttoned-down Dunne brother. But he rescues Victoria/Tori in a completely wild, bad-ass, treasonous act. And so Tori and Adam are together and on the run from the council.

For reasons of her own, Tori has agreed to work with the DEA to find the distributor of the drug Apollo. The drug burns humans from the inside out. But it was actually designed to kill witches. Adam has been working with the unsavory Titans of Fire MC in order to find the manufacturer of the drug. Tori and Adam unknowingly clash and are at cross-purposes over this, since they're keeping secrets from each other.

Adam and Tori are called to appear before the council of witches. Adam agrees, since he's an enforcer, even though he believes that at least one of the members is corrupt. To save Tori's life, Adam agrees to mate with Tori.

But, will they follow through with the council's dictate? How could a purple-haired wild child like Tori spend forever with a controlled and controlling witch like Adam?

WICKED KISS is full of whizzing action, edge-of-your-seat-suspense, and Zanetti's signature comic relief. There are surprises waiting around corners. You'll love Adam as a bad-ass motorcycle rider, and Tori as a strong heroine with a past that haunts her.

There is dom/sub action. I'm not fond of that, but it fits Adam's personality so it's not gratuitous.

It's fun to meet up with Kellach, Daire, and Dage again. The King, especially, is very funny.

Don't miss this excellent installment in the Realm Enforcers series. You won't be able to put it down, and it will prepare you for WICKED BITE.

Gah! I need myself a hot Irish witch! My goodness! Every book in this series just gets better and better. I want a movie, please. Intrigue, spies, lots of action, things blown to bits, evil doers, vampires, shifters. Oh, yeah and freakin HAWT witches with Irish accents! What is not to love about this?

The story continues the progress forward from the previous books. If you don't want spoilers, I recommend reading in order. Can I just add - "It's good to be the King!" Good thing the Realm has the back of all the witches. Still looking for the baddest of the bad but the team is taking out players one by one. Adam and Tori end up in the middle of it all and of course the mate bond is calling. Loved the back and forth between them and Tori's stubborn attitude.

Great addition to the series. Loved seeing all our old friends and couples again. Looking forward to Bear's book next!

WOW!! This one is not to be missed! I absolutely fell in love with Adam and Tori' s story. Adam is sexy , intriguing and intense. He is my favorite Alpha male. Tori has spunk and I love that she unleashed Adam's inner beast. Yum. In all sincerity, I'm amazed at the complexity of this series. Its driven by a well written and intelligent storyline. The characters are each as unique as their individual stories. Each book is a stand out but this one was definitely my favorite.

Advanced Readers Copy Courtesy of Netgalley....:)

Seriously I could spend a fair amount of time going on and on about the greatness of Rebecca Zanetti. I dont think she has written a book that I have not yet fallen head over heals in love with.....if she writes it......I will read it!!!! Simple as that!!!!

This the the 4th book in the Realm Enforcers series and its all about Adam Dunne. I have been waiting for his book, because he was always the more serious of the Dunne Brothers. And then when his leading lady turned out to be Tori, I knew it would be good.

So the books all follow on from each other, and this one picks up pretty much where the last one ended. Tori has been kidnapped by the Coven of Nine because she found out that paranormal beings are very much real. The head of the Coven wants to kill her, until Adam their enforcer says that he will mate her so that she can keep their secret and not have to be executed. Of course Tori is not interested in that at all. After all she is a informant for the DEA and Adam and his biker bang are responsible for dealing the lethal drug Apollo that killed a friend of hers.

The book is fast paced from start to end. It has cameos from lots of previous characters including King Dage (from The Dark Protectors Series) and it will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I will admit to being slightly disappointed we did not see Logan or Garrett.... ( I am so waiting for those two's books)

The book is full of intrigue, drama and of course romance and lots of sexy heat between our 2 main characters. Another awesome book in this series, and we wont have to wait to long till the next book, because it appears to come out fairly quickly after this one.......and did I mention its Bear's story.......whoo hoo....looking forward to that!!!!

This is a fabulous continuation of the series. Adam and Tori burn up the pages as they track down who set up Simone and how Apollo is getting out.

I have read every single one of Rebecca's books. The Dark Protectors being my favorite. I was so excited to hear that she was writing a spin off series of my favorite Protectors. I must say that the Realm enforcers were almost as good as the DP. Talen Kayrs will forever be my favorite alpha hero. But, Wicked Kiss's Adam Dunne is a very close second. Adam was a very unassuming alpha. There was just something about his character that was different than the rest. I won't even mention his way of undressing Tori was hot, in more ways than one. . The chemistry he had with Tori was great. Her talent was different. So when they get together it is just hot. sparks flying everywhere.
I love how Rebecca introduces us to characters that we want to learn more of. Forcing her, well maybe that is a harsh word, more like asking her to write about all her characters. Even ones she had so plans to write for. Bear being one of them.
Which I look forward to. Bear's book seems very interesting to say the least.

As always Rebecca Zanetti drew me in from the first page. Wicked kiss was an amazing on the edge of your seat read, and she left me wanting more. I cant wait for the next book.

I always think after each Rebecca Zanetti book, this is the best one yet and of course, this is the best one yet. So she is a definite read no matter the subject!

Adam and Tori are the story in this book ad the fact that he's trying to save her could get him killed. She has this power though and it stops engines, burns phones, and other electronic devices. She cannot get on the plane back to the states no matter how hard he is trying to put her there.

Adam is an enforcer of the coven nine and his life is spent in black and white without emotions except with Victoria who is always a bright spot of color. He'll do whatever he has to to keep her alive, no matter the cost to him. She doesn't know that though.

This is a beautifully written book with an amazing adventure in these pages. Always exciting and extremely enticing. These men in this series and their women are funny and fierce. I love this series and every book in it. Enjoy! I did!

What can I say about this book? As always Rebecca Zanetti delivers when she writes a book! I have been looking forward to Adam's story since he was introduced in her books and she didn't fail to deliver! Adam and Victoria are dynamite together and I love how she pushes him to try to get him to give all of himself. She never backs down and is always there for the people she loves. Adam, Adam, Adam. Pheww he is so beyond my expectations in this book and he blew me away! He is dominant and yet loving. He risks everything for not only his family but a woman he doesn't even know that well. I loved every minute of this book and I definitely loved how it ended! Exactly as it should! Another great book by Ms. Zanetti that you don't want to miss! And after the teaser at the end? I can't wait for Bear's book, especially as he is another character I really love!

What I love about this author is just how much of a punch she packs with these stories.

This story follows Adam and Victoria on there ride to a HEA. What a ride it is too. The fast paced storyline has everything you want in a book, From hilarious banter to super hot loving. Hella lots of crazy action, betrayals and declarations of love. Getting our fill of previous charters and possible new matings, the occasional bear scratches and fire balls... I mean it just doesn't stop. The story is seemlessly written and well laid out. I didn't find myself lost or unable to keep up with what's going on. It sucks you in to their world making you believe every word that's written, feel every emotion that's portrayed... i became invested in the story.

I loved Victoria, She just didn't quit. Her feistiness had me chuckling throughout this story. I loved how protective she was of the people she cared for and how regardless of the situation or how scared she was she stood up for what she believed in. I especially enjoyed her ability to wind Adam up. Also I totally dig her powers!.

Adam ... man I need me one of him. He just oozes sex. I loved his prim and proper front he had going on, it made for great entertainment when Victoria pushed his buttons. He's definitely a dark horse with a nasty temper. Alpha would be an understatement for him and his skilled bedroom tactics ;).i also really loved how he was with Victoria, his caring sweetness had me melting in a puddle.

The chemistry between the pair is just off the charts explosive and I really appreciated the fact that they weren't mated straight away. It made their journey a little more entertaining.

I loved this book and even now after finishing it my head is still spinning from it. I cannot wait for Bear and Nessa's story.. I'm sure that ones going to be mighty entertaining.

I'm the first to admit I'm a RZ junky, if she's written it, I'm going to love it, but it's not a blind love. I truly love how she sucks you into the world she's created, gives you characters you want more of, and a story that you don't want to end.
I've been a fan of Adam for awhile and this was not a disappointment, he delivers all we love of our male leads and then some. Tori, well she's not my favorite mate but I do like her. Together though.....HOT! We get some plot development on the Coven Nine, Apollo(kind of not really) and we get more to ponder....what's Tess up to, will Bear be ok and more.
Now what I love about this series, the appearances of some of my fav Realm men and women....but where are our boys? Garrett and Logan are noticeably absent(noticeably to me at least) but I'm holding out hope they are back soon, I just love the comic relief they bring. I for one can't wait for the next in this series and I'm happy to see I may not be waiting long! Series lovers....one click, new to the Realm go check out Fated!
