Anteprima: Wicked Ride by Rebecca Zanetti- Realm Enforcers #1

Alexandra Monzelle is a hard-fighting, heat-packing Seattle vice cop, and she’s not much interested in being protected. Her short skirt and sex-kitten heels are tools to lure her suspects into talking about the deadly new drug hitting the streets. She can take care of herself and then some. Unfortunately, she can’t seem to get that through to Kellach Dunne.
Kellach is a fresh import from Dublin, and he’s landed at the heart of a vicious motorcycle club that deals in guns, narcotics, and mayhem. He’s all male, all rough power—and all interference in her damn investigation. Maybe he’s one of the good guys. Maybe not. Lex knows an affair with an immortal like him would risk everything. No matter how delicious he looks…




New series by Rebecca Zanetti, although to tell you the truth the Realm Enforcers is a spin-off from the popular paranormal romance series "Dark" Protectors ".
The protagonists in this case are "witches"term that suggests women when you read it, but I assure you that Kellan and his brothers are "very" males. They haven't nothing to envy with the vampires and shapeshifters we've learned about among the immortals of the Dark Protectors, guided and ruled by Dage Kayrs.
In fact, the magic of Dunne brothers and all their kind is related to quantum physics, their ability to manipulate things and use them as a weapon for their defense or attack depending on the situations, no potions, abracadabra and so on. Because of their powers the Dunne Brothers  are guardians and they protect the Coven of Nine, the powerful and feared congregation leader of all witches, and in case of danger they have carte blanche to dictate the rules for everything related to the components of the Coven.
Something that definitely they didn't regret, given the tendency of male characters of Ms Zanetti to be absolutely dominant.
The great thing though is to see them compared with their mates, who are never  sweet girls who are at home to make the sock.
In this case then, with Alexandra, Kellach has a tough one. He feels a strong attraction for her from the start and he has no problems to make obvious the thing, even if he doesn't  immediately recognize her as his predestined mate.
He is working undercover, infiltrating a motorcycle gang notorious for smuggling drugs and weapons into the city and he cannot reveal her his real identity and especially being an immortal
His spoken Irish and his ways slightly outside the rules make him irresistible, to say the least and even Alexandra's attitude and the fact that she is a COP don't stop him.
Alexandra cannot help but to be struck by Kellach, but she is a woman very attached to her principles and rules, a policewoman whose father was a bigwig of the drug trafficking in his hometown and that caused victims even among her friends. She is used to cope with the feelings she feels and rationalise all to avoid suffering, as has happened in the past and with Kellach things are no different, as he is a suspect, a dangerous criminal and to read while Alexandra, more than once, stop and got arrested he and his brothers was really amazing and funny.
I love Rebecca Zanetti's characters, with their contradictions and features. They're so dominant, but the bond that binds them to their companions and the members of their family is really intense and they would do anything for them. Another thing that I like about this writer is like she put in the story secondary characters that are unique. In this case the King Dage Kayrs, entrusts Kellach with two "boys" (a demon and a vampire) to keep them engaged on the battlefield, and out of trouble. A particular interpretation of the concept of security, but to read these two "teenagers" immortals, blushing in front of a woman or tremble at the thought of being therefrom by her mother, and then when they're in action are two war machines, well it's one of those things that have made this one of my favorite author.
The plot is excellent, well written, full of action and hot scenes between Lex and Kellach, not to mention the sparks and the verbal battles, which always come when they're together.
I reccomend it to anyone who loves the books of this genre; Personally I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in this SERIES, because when one of the brothers Dunne says something like: my wife will be gentle, submissive and she will wait at home for me, well then I think is going to be big big trouble for him, knowing Rebecca Zanetti, and for us is a lot of fun.
Thanks to Netgalley and Lyrical Press Kensington Books for the kind preview.
