Edge of Desire was book 3 in the Primal Instincts series. This was Riley's story and finished out the last of the Buchanan siblings. Saige and Quinn were Book 2 which I didn't write a review on but really liked. Book 2 was probably my favorite of this series so far because it had Quinn in it who I spotted from the get go. In this book Riley's love interest was Hope, his old high school sweetheart who he dumped because he had a vision of himself turning into an evil beast, and wanted to protect Hope by giving her a reason to hate him to create distance between them. He has been living with this secret, and SPOILER ALERT was planning on killing himself after his Merrick emerged and he fought the Caus. Well of course, that never happened, reality and perspective always change things and Ian finally came through for his bro a helped him not transform into an evil being but save himself so he could go save Riley when the Caus had her. In this story, we also had the first female Caus, who have green eyes as opposed to the males who have blue. I liked this story but I guess since we had read them all fast and in a row, its creativity was wearing thin. The storyline was different and somewhat interesting, ex. Riley's power, his past with Hope, their geographic location but it was a lot of the same with the lovers, him denying himself to protect her, the girl, horny as hell, trying to get him to get over it and accept that he loved her, etc got a little old in this book. I was like, shut up and quit wining already and get on with it...then I had to read about the "folds" again and was ready for the book to be over. Not a bad book, still a quick read but a lot of the same amongst the books and coming down after Fever, its creativity and majestic appeal didn't quite cut it..Riley and Ian combined couldn't match up to Barrons!!!
