Kiss of Crimson by Lara Adrian

4.0

I enjoyed KISS OF CRIMSON a lot more than I remembered. The world of the Breed gets a lot more complicated in this one but I enjoyed seeing more parts of this society and how it all functions. The addition of Sterling Chase was interesting but also heartbreaking considering what he's going through. I loved both Dante and Tess and while their relationship is anything but easy it was a joy to read about. I really liked Tess who's strong, independent, and a fighter. Dante was also great and even though he doesn't want a Breedmate in his life he can't stay away. He's the quintessential dangerous alpha who fights falling the whole way down, but once he does he's completely devoted.

If I had anything to complain about, it's how isolated and sheltered the women are in the Breed. I especially want more from the warrior's Breedmates, Savannah and Gabrielle, who appear to just have given up their entire lives to live underground in the Warriors compound.
