It was foretold that anytime after the twenty-fifth birthday, members of the Blackstone family would be chosen by the death demon to do a deadly battle that could possibly kill them. Because of this, Sinai Blackstone refused to involve, Ian McIntyre, her intended mate in any type of destruction that may fall at her footsteps. As a result, she protected him the only way she knew how by casted a powerful spell on him so he would never know they were mates.

By sheer luck, shifter Ian McIntyre discovered that Sinai Blackstone was his destined mate. Instead of being overjoyed, Ian was very angry because his beautiful witch mate had cast a hate spell on him in order to keep them apart. Because now that Ian knew, he was determined to claim her and to fight by her side no matter what horrific legends she might face. Which proved to be easier said than done, because Sinai was the most bull-headed challenger that Ian had ever faced.

Power of Instinct is the second installment in Taige Crenshaw's Blackstone Haven series and can be read as a standalone novel.

Power of Instinct was a thrilling, suspenseful read that caught my interest from the start. Sinai was a strong-willed, take-charge type of heroine that matched up perfectly to Ian's powerful, domineering personality and together they were a force to be reckoned with. The unconditional love and devotion that Ian had for Sinai was simply to die for and made me love him even more. He knew just how to handle her assertiveness with a firm; yet, compassionate hand. The sexual encounters between them were hot enough to melt the pages and left me breathless with great desire. Coupled with a mysterious villain that will be featured throughout the entire series, I found Power of Instinct to be an exciting series that I look forward to with each new release.
