BLURB:
VIVIENNE CALLAHAN, discharged from the hospital after surviving a near-fatal attack from Riley, her abusive ex-boyfriend, has come to the safety of Mikah’s protection. As she continues to heal physically and mentally from her ordeal, she begins to have strange dreams...dreams that follow her into waking life and hint at a fate she never could’ve foreseen and dangers far greater than Riley.
Meanwhile, MIKAH BLAKE has some ideas about her future, too, and the more she considers his proposals, the weaker her resistance to him becomes. His recent actions have taught her to respect and trust him, but soon her feelings for him threaten to deepen into something more, something she may not be ready for.
In the third book of the Reason series, Vivienne will discover who and what she and the people around her really are.

4.5 Stars
In this third installment of the Reason series, readers following this serial will finally get the swoony, lovely-dovey sparks between Mikah and Vivienne. Now that Vivienne is fully recovered and the baby still living and growing happily in her belly, she realizes she needs help to keep safe. Mikah has the money, means, and security to keep her safe… and the strong instinct to protect her that Vivienne has never experienced from anyone before, including her substance abusing mother. Mikah and Vivienne are both exposed to their new reality- they are supernatural beings that are playing a huge part in the fight for good. Something nasty is lurking in the dark and shows up repeatedly in Vivienne’s dreams. Mikah busies himself wooing Vivienne and protecting her against the dangers of the present to protect their future.
This novel has all the sweet emotion and attraction that has been building in the previous serial books. Mikah has a genuinely golden heart and Vivienne continues to strive as a damaged, vulnerable, and very strong female lead. This series has kept me on the edge of my seat. Between the building romance and danger, and slow leaking of background details, I can’t wait for the next read.
He pulls back, clicking off the light, and we proceed further into the apartment. It opens up to the right into the kitchen, which is bigger than my entire apartment. It's been done in beautiful dark countertops and cabinets, not quite black, that make the silver appliances stand out. A breakfast bar that separates the hall from the kitchen has three bar-height chairs whose color matches the cabinets.
He moves on, opening a door directly across from the kitchen. "Here's the second bedroom."
I peek inside: deep blue carpet; a white dresser and some matching bedside tables; light blue walls; and pictures of beaches, beach houses and even one of a pretty lighthouse.
"This room can be used for anything you want. Add a bed...or a crib." I can't begin to imagine what the softness in his voice on the last word means, but it's comforting.
I pull back from the door. "It looks lovely."
He smiles in return and closes the door again. He leads me into the living room and I'm surprised by how comfortable the space looks. There is an oversized L-shaped couch with large pillows and deep seats, the kind you just want to curl up on all day. On the wall in front of the couch is a large TV, probably the largest I've ever seen. Below that is an entertainment center that houses two sleek black boxes that are probably for the cable and maybe a DVD player.
The coffee table between the couch and the TV is made of wood similar to that of the floor, and underneath the table is a pretty, deep purple rug that stands out against the light furniture.
On the other side of the couch, the curtains pulled back, is a large sliding glass door leading out to a patio, and beyond that, a view that has captured my attention. The balcony overlooks the river down below, and I can see a barge making its trek upriver. Even with the trees nearly bare from the cold, the view is still breathtaking.
I sense Mikah's eyes on me, but I don't pay him much attention as I walk around the couch, wanting to have a better look at the view.
The door slides open easily, and a rush of air sweeps into the apartment – not overly powerful, but strong enough to cause my body to shiver. I step out onto the balcony and just stand there, dazed by the beauty below.
After a few moments, I feel my heart skip a beat and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, then Mikah's hand on the small of my back.
"It's beautiful out here," I say, not wanting to pull my eyes away from the scene to look at him.
"This apartment has the best view. Come, I've got something else to show you."
I scowl at him. My heart pounds in my chest for reasons I don't quite understand, but I let him lead me back inside, his hand still resting on my lower back.
He reaches around and closes the door behind us. "Over here," he says, pointing toward a door on the wall opposite the TV I take a tentative step in that direction, unsure of why I'm hesitant now.
He reaches for the handle and pushes the door open.
