Mikhail has to find the blossom now and does not have time to mess around with Shay. Will Mikhail find the blossom in time? What will happen between Mikhail and Shay?

Taige Crenshaw has a fantastic hot read on her hands with Carnal Awakening. This is an awesome start to a great new world. Carnal Awakening gives the readers lots of spice and sensuality combined with a whole lot of action. Shay is a heroine readers can connect with and Mikhail is her perfect hero. Ms. Crenshaw tells an awesome story that will have readers screaming for more. Carnal Awakening hooks the reader from the first page and doesn’t let go until the last. Mikhail will have the readers drooling and Shay will have readers begging for more. Ms. Crenshaw has fantastic characters and fabulous secondary characters that I hope will get their stories told. I cannot wait to see what she will come up with next.
