[Archive] LITERAL ADDICTION's Review of Red

Bianca D'Arc is way more than just an author! She is a former chemist with more letters behind her name than we could ever hope to have and an artist. We’re not talking about being an artist just with her pen and computer, though that can’t be disputed! We actually meant with a paint brush and a guitar, since those are 2 of her hobbies when she’s not creating fantastical worlds for us to get lost in. Outside of that, she’s an avid bargain hunter and LOVES to shop!


Her background in science has come in handy in her writing, as she enjoys mixing her real-world knowledge of science with her vast imaginary world library. She writes in many genres and mixed genres, but concentrates most of her work in the paranormal, sci-fi, fantasy and futuristic realms with some contemporary and urban fantasy thrown in for the heck of it. As fans, we can honestly say that we wouldn’t want it any other way!

Bianca’s series include: RESONANCE MATES, BROTHERHOOD OF BLOOD, DRAGON KNIGHTS, TALES OF THE WERE, JIT’SUKU CHRONICLES, STRING OF FATE, GUARDIANS OF THE DARK ARCANA, STARLORDS, and REDSTONE CLAN. She also has single books out categorized under series for future expansion: GEMINI PROJECT, GONE COUNTRY and GIFT OF THE ANCIENTS.

Synopsis:

A water nymph and a werecougar meet in a bar fight... No joke.

Steve Redstone agrees to keep an eye on his friend's little sister while she's partying in Las Vegas. He's happy to do the favor for an old Army buddy. What he doesn't expect is the wild woman who heats his blood and attracts too much attention from Others in the area.

Steve ends up defending her honor, breaking his cover and seducing the woman all within hours of meeting her, but he's helpless to resist her. She is his mate and that startling fact is going to open up a whole can of worms with her, her brother and the rest of the Redstone Clan.

Trisha's had to hide her special abilities most of her life, but with her brother's Army buddy - the guy they call Red - she's finally free to be herself. He calls to her in a way she's never experienced before and while bad guys keep trying to abduct her, he's her safe port in the storm. But can such dangerous beginnings lead to a life-long love?

Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Pack Alpha - Chelle:
--Actual rating 3.75 Skulls

I'm a long time Bianca D'Arc fangirl, and Red was another great read by Ms. D'Arc. It had hot steamy romance, a mystery, some fabulous action, characters you couldn't help but love, etc, but it just felt a little rushed to me, and that's why I couldn't give it the high 4 and 5 skull rating I've come to auto-give Bianca's books.

Basically you have a gaggle of women out for a Bachelorette party in Vegas, but this time, what happens in Vegas can't stay in Vegas as the women are targeted by an unknown assailant. Luckily Trisha, our heroine, has a super overprotective older brother who asks his military buddy Steve (Red) to keep an eye on his little sister. With the help of his brothers, the local wolf pack, and some allied vampires, Steve is able to protect Trisha, get to the bottom of the mystery and save lives, all while finding the one woman made especially for him.

Despite my note that TO ME it felt a little rushed, it was still a great read, and if you're fine with the feel of a PNR Novella as far as pace, but with the gift of more page time, I highly suggest reading Red, especially if you've been a fan of the series since the beginning when it spun off and became it's own beautiful creature.
