MY REVIEW by Lilian Flesher

Payton and her two sisters Victory and Willow run a huge research facility where Victory is the Biochemist and Payton the CEO. It was built close to their home on the ground they purchased off the government, but as part of the deal they had a contract with the government.

Victory was kidnapped by Collin who had been kidnapped and subject to human testing by Biotech a company in close competition with Payton's. Collin was actually injected with Wolf DNA, and this caused him to have very erratic behaviour, and he was being helped by Victory to find a cure. It was a bungled attempt by Biotech to recover Collin and continue their experiments on him, but his rage took over and in his blind wolf-like state, he had heightened senses and realised that Victory was in danger so he took her to save her. Later Victory tried to work on a serum to help Collin to suppress the wolf in him.

Payton's mother was a scientist and had struggled to conceive, she had invented a drug to help her conceive, but it appears it was tampered with because the 3 sisters all had some kind of power. Peyton had never really tried to progress hers at all but when she was in the presence of Collin she was overtaken by a terrible feeling, she would get violent headaches, his aura seemed to invade her brain and the consequence was she would end up passed out. Her sister decided it was time to help Payton hone in on her own powers, she could fine tune it and use it to block out Collin thus avoiding the headaches and passing out that was happening to her. One of the sisters could telepathically speak to her husband, so she really had to get Payton to become in tune with her own, to reach the core of it and use it to help herself.

Whilst this was all going on, behind the scenes Biotech and their associates were plotting to get Collin back and when the opportunity arose to kidnap Payton to use as leverage, they leaped into action and kidnapped her.

There is actually a lot of thing happening in this story, from the simple things like training Payton to use her power, to the more elaborate things, like planning a rescue mission, murder and even a touch of sex (tastefully done I might add)

No detail was left out, everyone had a role and each role was explained making it a very exciting and interesting read. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every page of this book.
