Titus by Madison Stevens

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kate Walker has had her fill of men. Her ex only used her to get to her best friend, and now her new boss seems to go out of his way to tick her off. It doesn’t help that he’s drop-dead gorgeous and built like a god. She just can’t deal with his hot and cold attitude. 

As the leader of the genetically engineered hybrids of Luna Lodge, Titus knows getting too close to mouthy Kate isn’t really a good idea. Too bad he can’t seem to get away from her or get her out of his head. Everything about her keeps drawing them together, and his ability to resist her is weakening daily. 

Their shared attraction is put to the test when the dangerous Horatius Group makes its latest move against their former property, Titus and his fellow hybrids. When Kate is caught in the struggle, Titus will have to face a living nightmare or risk losing her forever.

The heroine: Kate – she is a public relations specialist and recently broke up with her boyfriend Mark after they attended a party at Luna Lodge and a bomb went off and started the place on fire. Kate was trapped and Mark just left her there to die, though she did eventually make it out alive. Then after breaking it off with Mark, she finds out that he was only dating her to get close to her best friend Erica. Suffice it to say she is a bit gun-shy about getting involved again.

The Hero: Titus – he is the leader of the hybrids at Luna Lodge. The hybrids are a product of genetic engineering by a corrupt corporation called the Horatius Group. The group is still trying to get them back since the military freed them. A former scientist whom they call “the pale one” is now a hybrid as well from injecting himself with his gene altering serum. He is even stronger and faster than Titus and the rest of the hybrids and he plans to take them down and is working with other groups that think the hybrids are an abomination and shouldn’t be given any land or rights.

The Story: Kate was fascinated by Titus before the night of the fire, but after he saved her from the fire their personalities clashed. They were obviously attracted to each other, but Titus is used to being the boss and Kate wasn’t down with being ordered around. However, when things started to get dicey on the compound with protesters at the gate, the hybrids needed to hire some PR and Kate was the best so now she works for them.

Like the first book the story in this one was pretty good. I liked the contentious relationship between Titus and Kate. They were a good match for each other. There were some pretty steamy scenes as well. The Pale One (a.k.a. Romulus) was the main villain and though they went up against him a few times in this book, they didn’t really defeat him, so he will definitely be back. He not only has powers that Titus and his hybrids don’t have, but he has all the newer hybrids backing him up as well. He seems to be either in charge of the Horatius group or at least pretty high up in the organization, though he is certainly crazy.
