The ending with the feather was perfect

I have to say that based on the description of Malic from the first book I was expecting a more of strong and silent type with a tough and bad ass attitude, but at his fights, although I appreciated the cavalier thing, he was bordering suicidal. Dylan I liked him 'cos he's perky and pushy and patient though I still felt it could be way hotter if Malic just got over himself a bit.

Still absolutely ridiculous and over the top, this second installment really set the pace and expounded on the necessary info regarding what Warders do which is to hunt and kill evil demons.

In order to be truly successful, said Warder ideally needs to find that special someone known as a Hearth, one who can lend much needed balance and support which really means them being able to withstand the draining of their life essence when a Warder gets frisky and does the nice and dirty to them. Oh yeah.

Here, Malic stubbornly clings to the notion that he doesn’t need nor want a Hearth, and that certainly applies to young Dylan. Thing is, Dylan has his own agenda, and his tenacious demanding spider monkey self is not going to take no for an answer despite Malic’s repeated rejections.

Overall, know that typical Calmes stereotypes pervade which of course, will come as no surprise, but this time while I rolled my eyes, I also smirked and laughed and thoroughly enjoyed myself regarding the cheeky antics between these two.

Silly shenanigans with an extra good kick of sass! This is when the crack was just what I needed for a fun sexy paranormal read!

Read originally 12/6/11: I absolutely LOVE Dylan! He was funny and so adorable, and so tenacious, and so perfect for Mal. I love that even though he seemed so young and so small compared to Mal, he was not afraid of him like most other people, and I am glad that he kept pushing until he got what he wanted. Can't wait for their next story!

Re-read 1/11/14 for the MM Romance Group's Re-Romancing the Favorites Challenge. I still love this book, and Dylan is still the most adorable and funny twink ever. His sarcastic and bossy attitude is perfect for Mal, and I love how Mal went all soft but only with Dylan. They are one of my fave book couples!

This one's a lesson in 'you can only have a contrary character be believable for so many pages before readers start baring their teeth at the story.' 

What saved this one for me is Dylan's determination. 

I also liked the little girl. :)

Cute! Dylan was adorable. I don't entirely get the timeline, though. In book one, Ryan was the only warder to have a hearth and in book two Malic is the only one without? Weird.

Ugh Malic got on my last nerve. You're too young for me, leave me alone, I'll ruin your life, blah blah blah. I don't think guy in a book has ever gotten on my nerves like that, LOL I loved Dylan he was too sweet and Malic's lucky he stuck around. I wanted more Dylan:-)

****Reviewed for Prism Book Alliance®****

I reviewed this series together. For GoodReads, I am breaking out each stories individual commentary.

Tooth & Nail, 4 Stars
The second installment in this series was as good as the first. I liked Malic much more in this. We get a good look into his desire to be alone. Dylan was light and fluffy – truly an angelic character (with a naughty side). I liked the action and the paranormal aspects. The age difference was handled well and I felt like these two fit. It was a great way to spend my time.

Final Verdict: 4 Stars
Overall this is a good series with entertaining characters, an interesting world, plenty of action, and sexy times. Give it a chance!
