I enjoyed the first two more in the Paladins series more. I really liked Barak since he joined the series, but I really go sick of Lacey's brother after awhile. Barak and Lacey have great chemistry and it is a good continuation of the series. Cannot wait for the next one. ( )

After crossing the barrier between his world and ours Barak has spent his time being known as the "Pet Other" of Dr. Laurel Young. To avoid any further slander against Dr. Young, Barak and her Paladin lover Devlin Bane arrive at a plan to have Barak re-assigned to work with geologist, Lacey Sebastian. Lacey hates the fact that she has been saddled with the sworn enemy of the Paladins but has no choice but to accept his assignment. However, once Lacey meets Barak she can't help but notice the humanity in him. Will Lacey and Barak be able to overcome the prejudices from within and without to discover the source of an illegal trade responsible for killing both of their peoples?

I definitely think that Alexis Morgan's stories are getting better and better as they go along. Despite the fact that I didn't really like Barak's cavalier attitude about killing for vengence, I still liked his character. I also enjoyed Lacey's character and thought the two made a good match. I'm really looking forward to reading Cullen's story (an excerpt of which was at the end of this book) and certainly intend to continue on with this series. ( )
