the blurb

Violet Savoie has a plan. A dream, rather. To open her own tattoo shop, which caters to supernaturals in need of permanent charms. As a powerful Seer, she has the potent magic to cast every kind of spell. Except the kind to give werewolves control over their beastly side. And her business partner Nico needs help in the worst kind of way.
Nico Cruz has a secret. A motive, rather. To subtly stalk and seduce Violet until she finally recognizes they are fated to be together. Ever since their heated encounter in Austin on New Year’s Eve two years earlier, he’s been dying to get his hands—and his tongue—back on her body. He knows a woman like Violet can’t be courted in the usual way. Luckily, Nico has no scruples about misbehaving to get what he wants.
But when his former pack roams into town, and an old friend is far too interested in Violet, his focus shifts to the threat venturing into his territory. Nico may come across as the quiet, broody one, but the intruders are about to regret stepping foot in New Orleans.
And when Violet goes missing, no charm or spell can keep Nico’s wolf at bay.

my review

I love Violet as a FMC. She’s entirely her own person, unapologetically so. She’s also fiercely loyal and protective of those within and without her circle. Because of that, she’s determined to help right the wrongs of the past with her special talents. What I love about her is that it’s not okay for helping just those in her vicinity; she wants to take on the world… literally. In perfect counterpoint to her character is Nico, a werewolf. Werewolves are heavily discriminated against by every other supernatural, especially by witches and vampires. That makes it that much more extraordinary that Violet and her sisters are so determined to help them after centuries of being told to disavow them. This is a great story with a lot of depth, along with plenty of spice and steam.
