Product Description
New York Times bestselling leader Susan Sizemore draws you into a dazzling world of seductive vampires and unquenchable cravings . . .
Tobias Strahan leads the elite vampire squad known as the Dark Angels, protecting the city’s paranormal denizens. It’s the perfect job for an übermacho Prime . . . until clan heiress Flare Reynard stirs an obsession in him that refuses to fade. Flare’s mother—desperate for a grandchild—has made Tobias an intriguing proposition, and it’s soon clear to Tobias that Flare is nothing like the spoiled princess he’d assumed her to be. She’s smart as hell, wickedly amusing, and loyal, and Tobias knows deep within that she is his bondmate—the bondmate every Prime searches for.
Flare has every intention of providing her clan with children—but on her own terms. That means a donor and a clinic, not a wild tumble with the most potent Prime of them all. Flare knows it’s a mistake to get close to a warrior like Tobias, since their searing tie puts her heart, his loved ones, their entire world at risk. But logic is no match for fierce, instinctive desire. . . .

Primal Instincts by Susan Sizemore
Paranormal Romance – August 31st, 2010
4 stars
Primal Instincts is the 9th book in Susan Sizemore’s Prime vampire series. And although the leader introduces new and intriguing subplots, this book can easily be read by itself. In this tale we learn the secrets behind Francesca Reynard. The spoiled and seductive elite vampiress all the Prime vampires’ desire.
Francesca is young and rash. She values her independence and does not appreciate the arrogant if sinfully sexy male Primes (AKA alpha) vampires from interfering in her life. Francesca is tired of being seen as a sex object and hides a deep pain from her past that rebels against submitting to any Prime vampire. In this book the reader discovers the reasons why she will not settle down with any Prime even though she is constantly pressured to bear a child since vampire children are so rare. So far Francesca has been successful in avoiding any entanglements. But, she has not counted on her annoying attraction the devastatingly handsome Prime Tobias Stranhan.
Tobias is the leader of the elite Dark Angels. The secret dark ops of the vampire community. He desires Francesca and this attraction soon takes a more serious turn when Tobias is ruthlessly blackmailed by Francesca’s mother, Marti Angelica. Marti Angelica sees Francesca`s unwilling attraction for Tobias and plans to exploit this knowledge. Marti Angelica proposes an ultimatum to Tobias, either impregnate her daughter or she will work to ruin the Dark Angels. Tobias knows he needs Marti Angelica’s backing because their enemy the Tribe has become more treacherous and bold.
But what Tobias and Francesca don’t plot on is the searing passion that flares between them. Both of them are against bonding which is the deep commitment among vampires but nonetheless feel the deep pull toward each additional that bond mates regularly feel. Soon they find themselves getting in too deep. They find themselves able to ‘read’ each others’ thoughts. (An early sign of bonding.) And then they start to pine for each additional’s blood.
This was an simple and levelheaded read. There were many subplots which added new and surprising dimension to this tale. The one frustration I had was that Francesca was never proactive and many times seemed to lack maturity. This is because I never felt her character really developed until near the end of the book. It also took a while before the leader revealed the reasons behind Francesca’s actions but even when this was revealed. Because of this, I was not able to completely warm up to her. I felt Francesca banked too much on her looks and rank and kept waiting for her to do something worthy of her status.
I did like Susan Sizemore alpha Prime Tobias. He was extra sexy and fascinating. He had hidden depths I did not expect. His ruthlessness and vulnerability were an irresistible combination! But sorry to say, his strong character highlighted the contrast to Francesca’s weaker personality. Because of this I felt they were not reasonably on equal footing and was not able to delight in the couple’s romance as much as I usually do.
This book gives tantalizing hints of the Tribe enemy which aren’t entirely. As such the book felt more like the 2nd book in a trilogy. Since there was no huge ‘payoff’ even though the characters finished up together the tale itself still seemed unresolved. But, this was a must have book for fans of the series, the only reason I didn’t grade it a small privileged was because I have loved the leader’s prior books more.
Susan Sizemore is a master tale teller. Her latest, Primal Instincts is no exception. Fans of the series will not be disappointed but I loved the romance in her earlier Prime books more. This tale has inviting glimpses of what is in store for the Primes but it also felt more like a bridging book rather than a perfect tale since it brings up more questions than it answers.
