About this ebook

The Awakening: Britton by Abby Niles

"I would lick that man up one side and down the other."

Half-shifter and lead SPAC agent, Val Calhoun, has listened to women gush over the Don Juan of the precinct for the last four years. Yeah, Detective Britton Townsend is hot and has stunning blue eyes, but that foul mouth he saves only for her? What a waste of good looks. And no way does Val want that mouth anywhere near hers.

When the shifter community is threatened, Val is assigned to the case…and fails. So the High Council turns to the rogue shifter they'd sentenced to twenty years as a human--that same obnoxiously sexy Detective Townsend. And sends the two arch-enemies deep into the North Carolina Mountains-—together, and alone.

Being stuck in a tiny honeymoon cabin with Miss Castration and only one bed is definitely not Britton's idea of a good time. But the High Council doesn't take no for an answer. After his shifter abilities are restored, Brit is once again susceptible to the dreaded, irreversible bonding instinct, the Drall. Thankfully, all he's ever felt for Val is intense loathing, no reason to worry. Right? All he has to do is solve this case pronto, and he can go back to his footloose Casanova ways. That is, if they don't kill each other first. Or worse...fall in love.

    I have been waiting for Britton's book from the moment I finished Liam's! Val and Brit have an interesting relationship from the beginning and when they are put on an assignment together, things get real interesting. There are definitely moments that feel like you are on a roller coaster, and others that are hilarious. I recommend reading this entire series in order, but I think they can be read as a stand alone just fine! I received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

    The third book in The Awakening series is an intriguing shifter world with unique and surprising elements.Britton Townsend was sentenced to 20 years as a human by the council and now works as a human detective in the police department. The half shifter Val Calhoun replaced as the lead SPAC detective and the loathe each other, but when Val fails the case she is assigned by the Council, they send the two arch enemies deep into the mountains- together- alone.The author brings this intriguing story to life with vivid imagery that makes the reader feel as if they are part of the story. The fast paced smooth flowing plot grabs the reader’s attention and keeps it to the very end. All of the characters in this unique world are bewitching with strong personalities that the reader finds easy to relate to. The rocky romance between is an intense roller coaster of emotion, drama and red hot chemistry. Their emotional turmoil is conveyed with such intensity that the reader can clearly understand where each character is coming from. The well developed plot has lots of interesting concepts that make for a refreshing look at shifters, lots of suspense with some surprising twists and enchanting characters that leave the reader wanting more. Once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down until I had read the very last word. The first two books in the series were very entertaining, but I think this one is my favorite so far. I enjoyed reading Britton and Val’s story it brought laughter, edge of my seat tension and even tears to my eyes. I can’t wait to read the next one as this series has definitely became a must read.
