About this ebook

Caine Allen is definitely not the marrying kind. But when he rescues a kidnapped woman and returns her to town, his honor and his desire for Desi won't allow him to let her go.

From the moment he beds Desi, Caine knows turmoil will follow. Desi might have the face of a temptress, but she also has a will of iron. And while she needs his protection, she's determined that no man will control her again. They establish an uneasy bond, but it isn't enough for Caine. All he wants is to keep her in his bed. But with a bounty still on her head, first he must keep her alive.

Ratings and reviews

While reading this novel I was immersed in a completely different way of life. I enjoyed this time spent in another time, living a different kind of life alongside these characters. McCarty develops this world in a very vivid and realistic manner. She draws you completely into this world with a story of love and trust. This is mixed amongst action and suspense, heat and spice. I love the paradox that is Caine. He embodies the ultimate Alpha in the most basic of ways. Paired with Desi, a strong individual who is determined to rise above what came before you have a brilliant lead couple. McCarty developed them in the present, as well as giving us an in-depth look at where they came from, providing very well rounded character development. I also enjoyed their ‘backup’. Getting to know the men of Hell’s Eight was great. We meet each briefly and get to know the dynamics of the group which gave me context for a great many of Caine’s actions. I’ll admit, I’ve read (and enjoyed) some of the later novels in this series, but I still thoroughly enjoyed going back and getting introduced to Hell’s Eight from the beginning. This is a great novel that I’d recommend to others

This was a good read. Some parts dragged but the majority was awesome.

Can't get enough of Hell's Eight men! Hot!!!
