How does one describe the de Vincent's without sounding like a giggling school girl!?! Lucian with his charming self and beguiling eyes. Gabe and his broken hearted existence making you want to hold him. But Devlin, Devlin has secretly been my hidden delight, a hidden bar of chocolate that you often look at but decide it isn't the right time for. (No judging the hidden chocolate!)
Devlin is a complicated dark chocolate with Mango woven in. He's decadent. He's forbidden. He's everything you desire but tell yourself you would never need. He's too much yet a tiny sampling will never be enough.
Devlin de Vincent is the whole package and more. The only problem is that his outer wrapping is surrounded by Gorilla tape. It's almost impenetrable. Almost. His tightly woven world is slipping with all these secrets, doubts, and conspiracies.
Secrets, secrets every where. The de Vincent's secrets are the stuff every reporter dreams of finding. They are the stuff nightmares are made of. They are going to be ripped open for every reader to see. Your thoughts, fears, and answers are just pages away. But ever after...that you will need to see!
I love the complexities of this family. I love the paranormal vibe but with the doubters edge. It makes it seem more real. It gives an edge to the story while satisfying both believer and nonbelievers. I love that though this takes place in South you feel like you are right there. (It's currently -17 F where I live with the 30 mph winds so the South sounds perfect right now!)
As always, the author has given us a family to want to call our own, a group to call friends, and a need to belong. So whether you like the charmer, the broody artist, or the seemingly unfeeling mysterious older brother...the de Vincent's will capture your heart before you even realize it was available.

It has been a while since I have read a romance that really just got me excited and has me raving over the book. Devlin and Rose are pure gold. Their witty banter had me laughing the whole time. Rose was quick on her come backs; which Devlin didn't even expect at times. His reactions were great. Yet, I will probably associate him with the names "dickhead and douche canoe". Rose may not have a nickname but she will forever be associated with beaded curtains. By the way, there is nothing wrong with beaded curtains. There is nothing in the rule book that says beaded curtains are only for teenagers and hippies. The sex is hot too. This book is not to be missed.
Warning as Moonlight Scandals is scorching hot!. You may need some sunscreen.
These two lines from Rose had me really laughing:
"They call you the Devil, but they should call you the Dickhead".
Devlin "Are you always this argumentative?"
Rose "Are you always such a douche canoe?"
Devlin "Thought I was a dickhead"
Rose " Your both. A dickhead and a douche canoe"
Devlin "That's rather impressive"
Rose "Not really"

3,5* . Mira, bastante mejor que el primero. XD El maromo es muy mi tipo de ml y la relación con la prota no me disgusta. Las páginas finales desvelan un par de cosas que te dejan con el culo torcido, aunque una de ellas era previsible. Las vibes de los dos libros ( porque el segundo no me lo pienso leer xD ) son muy de peli de sábados por la tarde, y aunque en general not bad hay otras sagas románticas que he disfrutado más

I have been looking forward to reading this book since the start. His character has always really intrigued me and I love how he develops through the book thanks to the heroine. The heroine has so much sass to her it makes for an entertaining read with the dialogue between the two characters.

Holy smokes this was a fantastic read!
Gosh how I loved Rosie, she is my perfect type of female lead, delightfully and unapologetically quirky. The very opposite of super serious Dev. The term opposites attract could not be more relevant to these two, the way in which they clicked made for some brilliant reading.
The story had lots of intrigue, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. There are some twists and very unexpected turns that I just did not see coming at all. Plus all the supernatural goings-on made the story so gripping. The story nicely ties up all that we have learned from the previous stories. We find out what has made Dev the man he is and lots of family secrets are revealed.
The takeaway from this is if you loved the other 2 de Vincent books then this is a must read because this is the best one of the lot!

Jest to tom w pewien sposób powtarzający schematy poprzednich, ale i różni się od nich znacząco - klimatem, paranormalnymi okolicznościami. Mnie to kupiło, bawiłam się całkiem nieźle. Cieszę się, że sięgnęłam po dokończenie tej trylogii na fali zwiększonej popularności autorki przez "Krew i popiół" ;)
