BOOK SYNOPSIS: Welcome to Vegas. Home of the Sin City Collectors. The job description is easy: Bring the offending supernatural in to the Boss and don’t ask any questions.
Diesel Jones is a shifter with moon issues. Not the best combination to have. His dream of becoming a Sin City Collector had always lingered in the shadows because of his inability to control himself under a full moon. When Louie Fiore decides to test his merit, and gives him a job for the agency, Diesel jumps at the chance. But when he finds out he has to come up against an incubus, painful issues from the past resurface, and instead of bringing the sex demon in, he only has one thing on his mind–kill.
Sofia Cabrera is the new witch in town, and she’s more than anyone bargained for. She finds herself drawn to Diesel, the sexy shifter, the first moment she lays eyes on him. When she becomes the target of an organization of incubi, who take what they want without asking, Diesel comes to her aid unexpectedly. They end up fighting the threat together, and in the process, Sofia discovers she–and she alone–can tame his rages.
REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts Diesel Jones has always wanted to work for Sin City Collectors and gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he is given his first assignment. Find a certain sex demon and bring him in for collection before he finds his intended victim. Sofia Cabrera is a new witch in Las Vegas and has slowly been settling in to her new surroundings. Sofia has seen Diesel whenever she visits her favorite bar, Hellhounds, and can’t help but be attracted to the sexy shifter. Diesel has his eyes set on Sofia as well, but when he learns that the intended victim of his collection assignment is Sofia, all bets are off when he races against time to save his sexy witch.
I loved Diesel and Sofia together in this novella. They have both been attracted to one another for some time but were afraid to pursue it because each of them believed that their feelings were one-sided. When Diesel found out that Sofia was the one being targeted by the incubus, I loved how protective he became of her and would put his own life on the line to protect the woman that he loved.
Sofia was a great character for me because she had a tough as nails personality that just made me instantly like her. She was also an immensely talented witch with a special gift that was perfect for helping tame Diesel’s animal side when he had trouble controlling his shifts with each full moon. They were a great couple together and I hope to read more about them in the future.
Ante Up is a fun and exciting thrill ride that will have readers saying that they are all in for this new paranormal series. Can’t wait to read what is next for these great characters and whatever adventures may lie up ahead for these collectors of Sin City.
