A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Robin
Once there lived a small European tribe of therianthropes. A therianthrope beloved that they could shift, spiritually and psychologically, but not physically into their inner animal. They lived in peace and harmony with their animal soul. Life in this small village was good, until the Itor Corporation came. They took everyone in the village to their labs. They experimented on them to try and get them to shift shapes. The only one to survive was Ulrika. Now she is able to shift into her animal form. But she has no control over the beast. When Rika has a chance to escape from her handler, she takes it. The only way Rika can stay in control the angry beast inside of her is to use sex. Now she works as a Dom at an underground club in London. Trance is an agent for ACRO (Agency for covert Rare Operatives). He is sent after Rika because he has to power to hypnotize almost anyone who looks into his eyes, super strength and better than average eyesight. Trance has to pretend to be a sub in order to get close to Rika. What he never expected was the feelings he starts having for her, the need to protect her above all else. Now with Itor breathing down their necks and Rika trying to protect Trance. Now Trance is going to have to betray Rika in order to get her to safety. While Trance and Rika are getting closer to each other, Rika learns to control her beast and Trance will have to learn to forgive the past.
The writing team of Stepnanie Tyler and Larissa Ione (Sydney Croft) have gave us another great story about the ACRO agents. The depth of emotion between the characters seems very real. Taming the Fire is truly a page-turner that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This is a great series and I hope that there will be many many more books to come.

He came to the underground London club for a night of extreme sex play with the enigmatic “Mistress Rik.” But the special agent known as Trance is really on a search-and-rescue mission to keep her alive.

An undercover agent with unique hypnotic gifts, Trance is surprised by his instinct to hold Rik and keep her safe—but he has a job to do. And as he hunts her down, as Rik and Trance are thrust into the ultimate game of domination and submission, they’ll enter a place where surrender is their sole hope of survival—and the only thing that can tame the wild beast in both of them.…
