This book had a far more complex world and structure that I had expected from a silhouette nocturne. It was more fantasy than romance really, with the h/h spending lots of time apart, and a lot of attention given to Risk, the hero's background(I do hate silly names.) Lusse the villianous witch was also great. I'm not quite sure how the ending worked, but they all seemed happy enough, and I'm definitely looking out for the next one. ( )

Risk is a hellhound bought and held by a witch who uses him to hunt and bring to her other witches so she can drain their powers. Kara's desperation to find her identicle twin, Kelly, leads her to the bar Guardian's Keep where she is hunted by terrifying dogs and saved by a mysterious man who knows more about her than she knows about herself. That she is a witch with unimaginable powers that can either save her and her sister, or corrupt her very soul.

This is the first of Silhouette's Nocturne novels that I have read. Although I haven't heard wonderful things about the series so far, I thought that Unbound was certainly a well written and interesting paranormal romance. The main characters of Risk and Kara were likable and I really enjoyed the subplot involving Risk's son. I also liked that characters other than vampires and weres were involved and the author has created an interesting universe that I would certainly not mind reading more stories in. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Unbound to my fellow lovers of paranormal romances. ( )
