Second book into the series, and it doesnt disappoint.
This one follows Luca, Kade's right hand man.
This picks right up pretty much where the first left it. A girl that had been being used as an entity for bad magic. After being cleared of the bad magic, she had been left with some good magic in her, in Kades basement, she was left in charge of the local witches coven.
But on the way, Luca disappears.....and this is how this book begins. The search had been on for a week and still no sign of Luca. Luca had been silver bound and starved for that weak. He knew he was dying, and with his last energy he sent a thought to Kade, who received it - very slightly - but still helped him to locate Luca.
Healed Luca feels a responsibility to the new witch, Samantha, and heads to the coven to find she left. Finding her, he has every intention of ordering her to go back, but sensing her stubbornness he said they would go in a few days....
After losing inhibitions both Luca and Sam are skinny dipping in the pool when the condo she was staying it was blown up. A message left in blood in front of the condo was left. Luca remembered this, but didn't tell Samantha. Now was the time to leave.
Back in New Orleans, Luca is fighting his elevating attraction to Samantha, trying to convice himself as well as others that hes just looking after her and want to help keep her safe.
Samantha cannot tap into her magic. Or so she thinks....under pressure, she felt it burst from her with a string of latin words....after that...she investigates it more...
After being pinned down by a vamp in Tristans ( a local werewolf Alpha owns) Bar, he tells her about the thing that Luca rubs off, but Samantha has lost all memory of the time she was used for the black magic.....
After consulting with the witches.....Luca and Samantha go on the hunt to find something she doesn't remember, doesn't know, and doesn't know how in the world shes the one that has it...
Another good book, lots of sizzling sex scenes, and even the lust scenes are really well written! (Obviously not for those under 18 years old!!)
Another end of a cliffhanger, which i didn't mind as i had the next book lined up...something i suggest you do - you'll want to pick it right back up!!!

The writing got worse from the first book. Very little plot, terrible dialog. I had no interest in the characters at all.

Vampire Luca Macquarie lives by few rules, but the ones he does live by are set in stone. No love, no humans. However after Luca rescued newly made Samantha Irving, he finds his protective side going haywire. Luca wants to keep her at a distance, but there is a lurking danger and Samantha is not necessarily excited about becoming a witch and has her own ideas on how to deal with the trauma she was left with.
Luca falls though and boy does he fall hard, Samantha wants to be with Luca and hopes they have some kind of future. For Samantha though she has no idea about the paranormal world and is finding it slightly confusing on what to expect from Luca. As she continues to be threatened, Luca and Samantha must find an amulet in order to spare her life before time runs out.
Out of all of the books I think Luca is the most alpha male. He is curt, straight to the point and although he is trying to fight the bond they are forming he realizes he that pushing Samantha away is going to fail. I would have to say this is one of my favorites, it was unexpected and I was shocked by a twist in the book that I did not see coming.

I liked this one, the second in the series, better than the first. However, while the character development on this one was better (partly due to the fact we'd already met the characters in book 1), many of the same writing issues persist. I think my biggest pet peeve about Grosso's writing is that she does a whole lot of telling and not enough showing. Plus she's just too redundant. Oh and the epilogue annoyed me too. It felt far more like a prologue to the next book.
But again, I'm not reading these for their literary value. I'm reading them because I enjoy the escape.
So if you don't take it too seriously, you should enjoy reading about Luca and Samantha.

This is more like 3.5 ⭐️. These books are really predictable, and the writing is occasionally eye-roll-worthy. But they're still fun to read. Nothing groundbreaking here - just your typical, formulaic, insta-love PNR.

I love the way this series unfolds. I read the first book in a day this one in two will continue them all
