I enjoyed him being supportive and a friend to Eric. I sincerely hope Lucien gets his own book he makes an appearance in this book. But unfortunately, part II wasn’t what I thought it would be. Had the angst and emotional development been explored more in part II, this would have easily been a 5-star read.

It was a bit rushed and relatively short. Part II of the story was somewhat unexpected (you will know what I mean when you read it). Eric’s neediness, Hugh’s sternness, and the development of emotions between them made for good angst, which I think most readers will enjoy. Much of the angst and tension in the story is in Part I of the story (the story is told in two parts). The age gap and Hugh’s lack of belief in having a true mate create angst, tension, and challenges for Eric and his alpha-to-be. He can’t seem to say no when it comes to Eric. Although the doc is a walking contradiction, lol. However, a bad marriage from Hugh’s past discourages him from taking things further with Eric. There is no denying that the good doctor wants Eric, the awkward omega. We see Hugh’s self-composed professional demeanor coming undone when interacting with Eric. Alessandra does a great job of showing that between Eric and Hugh, especially with Hugh trying so hard to resist the temptation that is Eric.

But Hugh’s alpha instincts, which he tries to suppress at times, kick in and blur the lines between a patient and his doctor.

Doctor Randall tries to be professional with Eric after all, he is a “kid,” a patient, nothing more, nothing less. Our handsome alpha doctor is captivated by Eric, who is all over the place due to hormonal imbalance. The first encounter between Eric and Hugh is through a “manual examination,” up close and personal. Who better to come to his aid than the sexy, reserved, and stern alpha doctor? Eric is excessively horny, and the poor dear needs an alpha to keep him balanced and steady. Eric is new in Kadar, and aside from being the subject of a humiliating scandal, he also has health issues related to his heating cycle. This is his story, and his sexy doc, Hugh Randall, is a big part of that.Įric is 18 years old, while Hugh is in his early 30s there is a slight age gap between the mains, which makes the story more interesting. A lovely, impressionable, intelligent, and beautifully awkward omega. Eric, for those of you who don’t remember (well, because it’s been so long since we read the last book in the series), is the youngest Blake brother. After being supposedly exiled from Pelugia due to an unexpected scandal, Eric seeks refuge and comfort at the Cleghorn estate in Kadar. Give me the tip.”😏īook 4, or shall we say Eric’s story 'Expert” picks up where we left off in Illicit (book 3). 'Just the tip,” Eric begged, sucking on Hugh’s scent gland.
