Edge of Danger

Another excellent read. Book 2 of the author's Primal Instincts stars Saige, the Buchanan sister who, unlike her brothers, has always been a believer in the legends of the Merrick and the Casus. She is also the one who found the first of the Dark Markers used in book 1. Now she has found the second, and the Casus [two of them this time, and one is the brother of the Casus killed by Ian and is out for revenge] have found her. The hero is Quinn, a Watchman shifter introduced in the first book. Like the first book the hero and heroine both have issues - they struggle mightily for most of the book before they finally get together. RB does stubborn tortured heroes very well... Read in order, these books [at least 1 and 2 which I've read] are very closely linked and sequential... Primal Instinct 1. Edge of Hunger (2009) 2. Edge Of Danger (2009) 3. Edge of Desire (2009)

I have now read the entire series (i.e. Danger, Desire, Hunger) and it is excellent. A new paranormal society with all the best of good versus evil with a little romance thrown in for your reading pleasure. I highly recommend this series.

Unlike her skeptical brothers, anthropologist Saige Buchanan strongly believes in the enigmatic Markers. She also accepts her heritage that her siblings deny as true; risking her life to fight the evil Casus. In Brazil after finding her second Marker, Saige knows a Casus is stalking her while a shapeshifting Watchman Michael Quinn shadows her. He has been assigned by his group to escort Saige to the Watchman's Colorado encampment. However, Saige refuse to accompany him as she trusts no one; not even someone she is attracted to as she is to him; ironically he feels the same way about the attraction and trust. However, trust is what they need to survive a deadly stalker trying to prevent Saige from succeeding. EDGE OF DANGER, the second Primal Instinct urban fantasy romance (see EDGE OF HUNGER) will grip the audience from the moment Saige in Brazil knows the enemy is stalking her and never slows down as she distrusts the Watchman who has come to take her to his camp. As the overarching plot moves forward, readers will enjoy the middle thriller starring a woman who trusts no one and a man who knows he must trust no one. Harriet Klausner

I enjoyed Saige and Quinn's relationship over Ian and Molly's, they both seemed to want to give into there needs more. The author did an incredible job detailing the scenes where Quinn would use his wings. Saige embracing her Merrick immediately makes her a stronger character that her brother Ian. The plot of the casus being released is only thickening...starting to become a nail biter and I am eager to see what with happen with Riley in the Edge on Desire. The story is only getting better.

The plot thickens in Rhyannon Byrd's second book of the Primal Instinct Series as Saige Buchanan battles paranormal baddies and meets her match in a sexy shape-shifter named Michael Quinn. The two lovers must overcome their trust issues and learn to work together if they are to elude the various different factions that are out for their blood. Nobody writes deliciously romantic tales like Rhyannon Byrd. I can't wait for the third book in this exciting series!
