VAMPIRE . . . Raphael is a power like the world has never seen, the force behind the first ever alliance of North American lords, Cyn’s mate, lover, master.

SORCERER . . . Nick Katsaros, deceptively charming, ancient and commanding, driven by vengeance and a devastating loss, Cyn’s friend and one-time lover.

HUMAN . . . Cynthia “Cyn” Leighton, beautiful, sexy, and smart, the woman both men desire.

It was only a few months ago that Raphael lay helpless and dying, taken by treachery, while Cyn fought to save him. Unexpectedly, it was Nick who provided the key to his freedom. In exchange, he secured a promise that they would help him find and recover the same magical artifact that had been used to imprison Raphael. But when he calls on them to keep that promise, it will be Cyn who pays the price.

Torn between the two powerful men, struggling to keep them from killing each other, she undertakes a desperate search that will find her fighting for her life against a madman who wants her for himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely delightful, but too freaking short!
Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2016

I'm in love with this series, although the forays into Cyn and Raphael's lives are always the best of the bunch. Each story adds on the last and now I can't wait to find out about Nick Katsaros' past and future. What's he going to do and how will he go about finding his missing friends? How long has he really lived? I wasn't truly interested in him before, only as a side character, but this book gave him a minimal backstory that I think Ms. Reynolds should exploit damn quick. Of course, she also should not forget about the main storyline, of which I'm dying to see how that might unfold. And the only better arrangement than that would be if she somehow combined the two situations into one adventure. Or maybe a series of explosive adventures that will change the face of the war for America forever.
So keep these books coming!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another good short for the series
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2016

This short story was exactly the right amount of introduction that we needed to be tempted by the world of Nick Katsaros. If you’re thinking of or have already read the spinoff series, this is a nice glimpse of the backstory and inner workings of the stoic sorcerer. If you’ve read the original series, then you (like me) must feel *compelled* (HAHAHAHA) to read all short stories to complete the set. Either way, this story was a good, solid installment to whichever series you have interest in.

We get to spend time with Cyn and Raphael, which is always a delight. This couple has been through some amazing things and managed to only become stronger. There is, of course, the problem of Cyn’s ego getting her in trouble when she inevitably doesn’t follow one of Raphael’s orders. This story is no different, except that we get to spend some time with Nick, too! Nick gets re-introduced here as the sorcerer we now know he is. The guy who was once a footnote in Cyn’s past is now a formitable ally/enemy to the vampires. We get to take a look at the history of vampires and sorcerers and (of course) it isn’t good.

In an effort to find the missing manacles, these two supernatural masters need to find a way to ignore the tension and work together. Spoiler alert: they don’t work together well. In the end, we get more of Cyn than anyone else (and who doesn’t love that?). We get some good resolution here and even a touch of romantic damsel-saving (if you’re into that). This was an excellent lead-in to the Nick-related books and I really wish I had read this first.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great intro to a new paranormal series.

D.B. Reynolds starts a new paranormal series with this novella starring Nick, Raphael and Cyn from Vampires in America. Nick is a previous intermittent lover of Cyn's and is a sorcerer. He is looking for the Amber Manacles that had imprisoned Raphael in the novel, "Deception." In DB's usual manner, action and snappy dialogue are at the forefront as the trio cross America hunting down the manacles. Vampire and sorcerer hit head on and Cyn mediates focusing on the goal rather than testosterone levels. A lot is packed into this smaller novel with Nick at the end determining how he will locate his soldiers that were lost millennia ago to another sorcerer. I finished my read with a smile and the purchasing of the first novel in the series, "Damien." And I leave it at that.

Compelled is yet another excellent addition to the Cyn and Raphael love story. As with any book or novella in this series featuring these two I can never seem to get enough. I love them together and I love how their love and bond has grown over the course of this series. In Compelled Cyn's former lover Nick whom we found out in the previous book is an ancient sorcerer calls her to help him locate the magical artifact that was used on Raphael. Of course this leads to lots of tension, jealousy, possessiveness, and some sexy times. Nick is super yummy and I can't wait for the spin off series featuring his men and I really hope he gets his own book.

That all familiar sinking feeling that comes from knowing that you are on the last page and there is no more. This is what you feel when you finish one of Miss Reynolds books. From the very first page you are drawn into the world of the character your reading as if you never left their world. Few writers have this wonderfully unique talent that puts them in a class all their own. As for this book, beautifully written albeit far too short as all her books tend to be for those of us who love her vampires. Bravo Miss Reynolds Once again you did not disappoint!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars - Can't wait for Nick's book after this
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2016

4.5 Stars! I love Cyn and Raphael and always enjoy a story that centers around them. This one actually only kind of centered around them. It was very obviously a build up for the spin-off series featuring Nick. Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed and I'm looking forward to Nick's book but this didn't further any of the plots in Vampires in America and other than the fact that Raphael had a few jealous/Alpha male moments and a few sex scenes he wasn't integral to this book at all. I'm also getting a little annoyed at Cyn "sneaking" off and putting herself in danger. Yes she is a VERY strong, capable woman but she is still human and dealing with magic objects/sorcerers/vampires you would think she wouldn't be quite so quick to dismiss danger and head out on her own during the day. Actually, Nick was the star of this book and I really enjoyed learning more about his background and getting to know his character. He's charming and cocky and witty with just a hint of softness and I can't wait to read more about him. Overall, a very enjoyable book just not what I thought it was going to be and I hope the next Cyn and Raphael novel is more about them. If you're a fan of the series I recommend if you haven't read Vampires in America pick up the first book and start there - this is an amazing series and I have no doubt the spin off will be as well!

Teil 10,5 - Novella. Das war wieder schön! Das Warten hat sich gelohnt. Cyn & Raphael helfen Nick, ihrem ehemaligen F..kbuddy, ein verlorenes Artefakt zu finden. Raphael und Nick können sich auf den Tod nicht ausstehen und sind stets angepisst. Sie giften sich auf herrliche Weise durch das ganze Buch. Cyn ist von dem (Zitat) ‘sausage-fest’/’dick-contest’ abgenervt und geht auf gefährlichen Alleingang….
Diese 128 Seiten hatten alles was ein Buch braucht, Tempo, Spannung und Spannungen, Knistern voll Magie, Erotik, Liebe und eine gute Prise Sarkasmus in den Dialogen. Obendrein wurde hier der Übergang zu einer neuen Spin-off Reihe gelegt, die ich mir nicht entgehen lassen werde.
Mein Fazit: Diese Reihe ist wie eine Mischung aus Black Dagger und den Chicagoland Vampires. Ich kann sie nur jedem englischlesenden Vampirfan ans Herz legen. Beginnt mit RAPHAEL Teil 1. 4,5 Sterne von mir.
