Intimidator (Preyfinders, #2)
by Cari Silverwood
This is Book 2 in the new Preyfinder series.
Book 1, Precious Sacrifice, is currently in the anthology, Kept.
Willow has her hands full scraping out a life in a grungy neighborhood where drugs and crime are the norm. Life is hard, but it's about to get harder. Being transformed into a sexual pet for an alien warrior may be her only way out.
But Stom, the man she's been awarded to as a battle honor, has no use for a female, not when his heart is still in a million pieces.
Though the need to be Stom's mate is overwhelming her, mending his heart isn't going to be enough. His enemies are searching, looking for the women who are more than they seem, but she's in their hands before she discovers she's more-than-human.
Sometimes it sucks to be a chosen one.

Cari Silverwood is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of BDSM stories and dark erotic fiction.
She writes the way the world should be - dangerous and sexy with bullets piercing the darkness and lovers wrenched close by ropes. When you need escape, when you need that rough lover to bring you to your knees, here you will find stories to singe your fingers. The taste of adventure, the tang of BDSM, the burn of fantasy run wild. Brace yourselves, if you dare to read.
And...in this real world, she has a lovely family in Australia, with the prerequisite teenager who dwells in the dark bedroom catacombs...a husband who raises eyebrows when he catches glimpses of what she writes, and a menagerie of other animals barking, meowing, and swimming about the place.
She
stood. Anger tore her up. The next words blurted out before she could stop
herself. “Fuck you.”
Ally
might be wondering why she was out here. Forget this asshole.
“Wait.
Willow.” He shot upright and grabbed her hands then added in his rumbly voice
that shivered deep inside her, “You need to believe me.”
When
she tugged and tugged, and couldn’t get free, her anger, stupidly, drained
away.
He
stared down at her like he could drive his words into her very soul. “Believe.
You must believe me. Run away, fast. Go tomorrow.”
She
swallowed, petrified, but not of him holding her. The fear was of what he
meant, of how he was distorting her reality. Somewhere in what he said, she
sensed truth and a world of horrendous and incalculable wrongness.
“I
can’t.” Her words sounded so squeaky. “I have Ally. She needs me.” Tears wet
her eyelids and she trembled. “I can’t leave.”
It
would take her weeks to convince Ally. Months to sell the house. She had no
spare cash, nowhere else to go, and why was she even contemplating all this?
Then he
leaned in and kissed her. He wrapped his big solid, man-heavy arms around her,
fairly crushing her to him, and kissed.
A
shudder of lust slammed into her every cell. A volcanic explosion might,
barely, have had the same effect. She opened her mouth and found he was already
taking advantage of that small concession – nipping, licking and pushing his
tongue inward past her lips. His wide thigh had somehow nudged her legs apart.
His male scent assaulted her as much as the feel of him taking of her what he
wanted.
Goose
bumps swept across her skin in a chill wave that seemed to sensitize every tiny
hair on her body.
This book is about Stom and Willow. Stom is an alien and his home planet had to
be destroyed. His bond mate and
younglings were killed. He throws
himself into his job as a hunter. As a
reward he was told he was going to get to go to earth and get a pet. This is the last thing Stom wants but he
can’t say no, so he goes to earth. He is
greeted by Brask a preyhunter. Brask is
going to help him acquire his pet, Willow
is to be his pet. Once Stom sees Willow
he is attracted to her. He doesn’t want
to be but he is. He made vows to his
bond mate and even though she is dead he feels taking a pet would be breaking
those vows. He does the first step of
the pet/master process which is kissing her with the nano-chem on his
lips. That is all he intends to do, of
course what he intended to do and what he did are two different things. He is surprised by his feelings for her and
is struggling between them and the vows he made to his bond mate. Stom finds out that Willow
is going to die. A local thug wants her
dead, if he doesn’t kill her she has a resist strain of aids that will. He tries to get her to flee the area but she
doesn’t want to leave her cousin Allie.
Stom proceeds to do the second step in the pet/master process. This is to drink the nano-chem and then have
sex with her. There is something
different about the earth women who match up with the alien men. Stom intends to explain more about himself
and why she was picked then get on the warp ship the next day. Willow
feels like someone is finally going to help her and be strong her instead of
her always having to be the strong brave person. She fights this attraction to Stom at
first. She doesn’t want to have to leave
her cousin or for her life to change to drastically. She is in love with Stom and wants to be with
him. They both have a past but she wants
a future with him. Will they get to be
together or will Stom’s sense of duty and morals stop them?
This is the second book in this series. I love how this series is a different take on
aliens. The characters and engaging and
fantastic. I liked how Stom had to
struggle with his feelings between his dead wife and what could be his future
wife. I also like that is more than just
a romance book, it had some action because of the other aliens they are
fighting. I also like how you know there
will be another book as you are reading this one. It was very well written. I can’t wait to find out about who Brask will
take and more about the Queens. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for
another book in this series.
