Tamed is a novella in the Dark Protectors series, centering on vampires, but you don’t have to read the other books to enjoy this story. Lily and Caleb are Prophets, which from what I gather are sort of vampire guides for the supernatural races. Three centuries ago, they were young and in love and would’ve mated had Lily’s father not arranged another marriage for her. Two weeks after marriage Lily’s husband was murdered but being mated, she couldn’t be with anyone else until a virus changes all of that and removes the mating bonds freeing her up to be with anyone she desires. Caleb is a warrior first but also a Prophet. He’s only been in love with one woman, Lily but his chance at happiness with her was obliterated when she chose duty over love. Now they’re thrown together as part of peace talks between enemy supernatural creatures and their past attraction comes back with a vengeance. “The last time I felt this desperate for a woman, I was young—barely an adult.” She hummed and ran a soft hand across his chest. “Lucky woman.” He started, his heart beating hard enough she had to feel it. “It was you, Lil. You’re the only woman I’ve ever wanted badly enough to burn.” The tone and feel of this story reminds me of The Black Dagger Brotherhood series which I’m a big fan of. I loved that Caleb and Lily get a second chance at romance, and their chemistry was off the charts. Caleb knows and loves the untamed Lily underneath the cool and calm, businesslike façade she projects and is a pro at bringing the real woman out. Lily reminds Caleb that there’s more to life than fighting, and he can’t help the possessive and protective feelings he has over Lily. There’s action, danger, and a conspiracy along with this romance and the issues that face the vampire race are not resolved. This is a continuing story arc with a different romance in each book. I’ve had a little taste of this series through Caleb and Lily’s story and I’m definitely impressed. Rebecca Zanetti has a talent for writing super hot romantic suspense in both the contemporary and paranormal genres!
