Primal Needs

I loved this book! I was happy with the way this book fitted into the series. The ending of the book was fantastic and left me craving the next book! I can not wait to see the next book in this amazing series. I would really love to see the Matri Cassandra and Domini's grandfather get thier own story too!

Great book I read it all in one night. But then again I love everything Sizemore writes. Not her best work to date, but still a truly great read.

I liked the Vampire-Werewolf romance. Different from Sizemore's usual human-vampire theme. In this book you also got a second romance between our female lead's father and a human woman he met in France during WWII. At first I was a bit confused by the change between the now and then stories, however, after a few time changes I got comfortable with the format and finished the book with ease. The end was very satisfying and set up a likely lead into the next book. Something to look forward to in hopefully the near future.

Primal Needs deals with Sidonie Wolf, a female vampire who is non-traditional in more than one way. She is really in love with someone outside of her species. Sidonie or Sid, for short does something desparate to save her lover and their is a host of repercussions because of it. I loved the way Susan handled the relationships and the prejudice that exists within each of the groups. It is a real page-turner and she pulls no punches. I like the bad boys like Laurent, who appear in previous books. It's really nice to know that the women can be naughty, too.

Vampire Sidonie Wolf and werewolf Joe Bleythin fall in love. Both know their respective species outlaws a relationship between them; the penalty is death. Fearing for her Joe, Sid sacrifices her heart by modifying his memories of her and their love. Soon afterward, Joe shuts down their private investigative partnership and breaks up with her. Joe joins vampire Tobias Strahan's Dark Angels, a group dedicated to protecting paranormal species. Meanwhile Sid's father, Antony has cherished from the shadows for six decades the human Rose; he loves her but is forbidden to do anything about his feelings by his species for the last 60 years. When someone kidnaps his Rose, Tony pleads with his daughter to save her life. She is teamed up with Dark Angel Joe to find and rescue Rose. Still angry with her for what she did to him, Joe also realizes she could not erase his love for her or conceal her love for him. The latest Primal (see HEAT and DESIRES) urban romantic suspense fantasy is a strong tale of star crossed lovers. Sid thought she was doing what was best for Joe while he felt she betrayed their trust. Their acrimonious beginning makes vampires and werewolves seem genuine in Susan Sizemore's Primal realm. Fans will enjoy this refreshing second chance at love thriller; that is if they survive the enemy and their two species. Harriet Klausner
