When Kiernan and Melina spent one passionate night together a year ago, they never thought that it would change their lives forever.

REVIEW: ENEMY MINE is the latest re-release of a previously published novella by Katie Reus that focuses on two hundred year old vampire Kiernan Doyle, and wolf shifter/ Veterinarian Melina Rodriguez. Their second chance romance follows a Romeo and Juliet tale of warring families and bitter regret.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Melina and Kiernan) ENEMY MINE follows the rekindling relationship between Melina and Kiernan, and the subsequent attacks against Melina by an unknown shifter pack. Kiernan and Melina spent one hot and steamy night together, one year earlier, and neither has forgotten about that fateful night. Fast forward to present day wherein Kiernan wants to claim Melina as his mate, but must first get past her family, both family’s betrayals, and the truth about what happened years before. But before Kiernan is able to claim Melina as his own, he and his brother Ronan must uncover the identity of the shifters behind a plot to kidnap and use Melina for themselves.

The relationship between Melina and Kiernan is one of second chances, immediate attraction and forbidden romance. Melina is a veterinarian with a special ability that she keeps secreted from others; Kiernan is a vampire who is able to control one of the deadly elements-together their families are sworn enemies but it will take the love between Melina and Kiernan to show that acceptance and forgiveness for the sins of the past, can be easily overcome. The limited $ex scenes are intimate and intense.

ENEMY MINE is a fast paced, sexy and enjoyable read that looks at two supernatural beings who are able to overcome the bitter heartbreak, and dark secrets of the past; two families at war with one another for close to one hundred years but brought together by the youngest generation for reasons of love and moving forward. The premise is entertaining and engaging; the characters are loveable, heartbreaking and passionate; the romance is quick build to a happily ever after. Katie Reus continues to draw me into her world of fantasy and the supernatural.
