LAST CHANCE AT LOVE by DM Earl

Not believing in such a thing as good luck since his life has always sucked, Slick takes one more chance at love. The one thing that’s holding him back from being one hundred percent in, is his past, especially his dark part in it. To clear the road to redemption you have to want to face your demons. And Slick has plenty he doesn’t want to introduce Lucy or Atlas in regard to his past life though if he wants a future with them both it’s definitely time to suck it up and make amends

••••••

REVIEW: LAST CHANCE AT LOVE by DM Earl is a novella set in the author’s GRIMM WOLVES MC series, and a part of the multi-authored anthology BIKER IN MY BED. This is Slick aka Cletus Jennings, and stripper/housecleaner / single mother Lucy’s aka Cashmere story line. Cletus Jennings first appeared in TAZ, book three of the DEVIL’S HANDMAIDENS MC series.

NOTE: If you have not read TAZ, there may be spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cletus and Lucy) LAST CHANCE AT LOVE focuses on Cletus aka Slick’s need to apologize for sins of the past involving his ex Raquel ‘Taz’ Smith and the Devil’s Handmaidens MC. As a former member of a white-supremacist group Cletus Jennings destroyed many lives including the life of the woman he once loved but in an effort to prove he is a changed man, and worthy of Lucy’s love, Cletus offers up some information, that will likely put a target on his back. Apologies for the damaged he caused threatens to break his tenuous hold on the who holds his heart.

The world building reveals a little bit about the past including some of the events that would set Cletus towards a different path. For a better understanding, I recommend reading TAZ (Devil’s Handmaidens MC) as the premise of LAST CHANCE AT LOVE are predicated upon the events of TAZ.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including several members of the Grimm Wolves MC, and cameos from Enforcer and Taz.

LAST CHANCE AT LOVE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, acceptance and forgiveness, understanding and love. The fast paced premise is heart breaking and emotional; the romance struggles in the face of reality and the truth; the characters are broken but struggling to heal.

•••••••

REVIEW: FOREVER KIND OF LOVE by KE Osborn is a novella set in the author’s NOLA DEFIANCE MC series, and a part of the multi-authored BIKER IN MY BED anthology.

LOVE BITES by Kristine Allen

ROYAL: I’m a loyal member of the Demented Sons MC. Other than my little sister they’re the only family I need. After the way my ex cheated,I’d rather chew off my own arm than get in another relationship. He//, I moved back to Texas to get away from that disaster. Hookups were my new game plan. Except I wasn’t expecting to meet her-especially in the middle of a deadly threat to my brothers. Someone was making sport of my club members and I became their next target. I needed to cut her loose for her own good, but I was pretty sure it would kill me.
LUNA: What we both agreed would remain casual, suddenly became something more. It didn’t matter that I knew I couldn’t give him what he deserved. I’d been burned and my heart was too damaged. Love bites. Then I messed up, like I knew I would. And it cost me the man I loved and my best friend. Now I have to find a way to get the both back-or die trying.

•••••••

REVIEW: LOVE BITES by Kristine Allen is a novella found in the author’s DEMENTED SONS MC: TEXAS, and a part of the multi-authored BIKER IN MY BED anthology. This is twenty-nine year old former US solider/ mechanic Max ‘Royal ‘ Windsor, and Luna Levine’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Royal and Luna) LOVE BITES follows in the wake of Royal moving back home to Texas in the wake of catching his ex-girlfriend cheating with the neighbor. As the newest member of the Demented Sons MC Texas, Royal needed a place to live, and staying with his sister was about to get a whole lot of interesting when she signed him up on a dating app, and the messages started to come through. One night with Luna was all it took but a Thanksgiving dinner with the club would reveal a few secrets that were never supposed to be exposed.

The relationship between Luna and Royal begins as a matchup that will quickly turn into something more but Luna is good at keeping secrets, and her biggest secret may threaten the people she loves. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

We are reintroduced to several member of the DEMENTED SONS MC: TEXAS as well as Royal’s sister Lacie, and Luna’s father.

LOVE BITES is a story of secrets and lies, obsession and want, family and friendships. The fast paced premise is captivating and engaging reading like the prequel to Luna and Royal’s story; the romance is limited; the characters are desperate and determined. LOVE BITES ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

? ☠️ FACET (RBMC: Ankeny IA 8) by Kristine Allen ☠️?

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 30, 2023

I’m Damien “Facet” Blackwood—tech guru for the Ankeny RBMC. Love is bullsh*t. My mother and her two thousand husbands were enough to convince me. Give me my computers any day of the week.
Until Willow. Victim of a black market adoption, she wanted our help to find her biological parents. From the second I laid eyes on her, I wanted her, but I couldn’t touch her. It would only lead to heartache.
Then one night I killed a man and my entire world turned upside down. I wasn’t who I thought I was—hell, I wasn’t what I thought I was—and it seemed the people who should’ve protected me only used me.
In a moment of weakness, Willow pushed me too far and I made her mine. Now despite being the biggest danger to her, I can’t let her go.
With secrets and enemies pouring out of the woodwork, I might need to embrace the very darkest part of myself. Because if I don’t, none of us may survive.‘

••••••••

REVIEW: FACET is the eighth instalment in Kristine Allen’s contemporary, adult RBMC: ANKENY IA dark, erotic, paranormal, MC romance series. This is computer guru twenty-eight year old, Damien ‘Facet’ Blackwood, and twenty-five year old waitress, Willow Geisman’s story line. FACET can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the storyline premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Facet and Willow) FACET follows the building relationship between Damien ‘Facet’ Blackwood and Willow Geisman. For months Willow and Facet have danced around one another but Facet kept his distance until someone else made a move on our story line heroine. From the outset Facet’s attraction grew stronger with every interaction, and when their relationship became personal, Facet was unable to stay away but something strange was happening, and Facet needed information, information that only his mother would be able to supply. Facet always knew his mother was a witch but our hero never knew the extent of her powers, and the powers that he was about to discover about himself and the father he never knew. Meanwhile, Willow has been searching for years for her biological parents but she knew nothing about the years before she was adopted by the Geisman family. Months and years without success, Willow would get help from an unlikely source, and quickly discover that like Facet, everything about her life is predicated upon a lie. What ensues is the building relationship between Facet and Willow, and the potential fall-out as Facet and Willow’s lives are about to implode.

Damien Blackwood grew up knowing his mother was different, and by husband number eight, Damien suspected nothing was right in the world his mother existed but meeting his biological father, a man he was lead to believe was dead, Damien ‘Facet’ Blackwood would realize he is much more than the man he thought he could be. His true nature hidden by magic, Facet would quickly discover that even his power would be too much to save the life of the woman he loved. Willow Geisman knew from an early age she was adopted but she knew nothing about the family into which she was born but as she grew, the threats and lies would kill the only mother she ever knew, forcing Willow to run, to save her own life.

The relationship between Damien and Willow is one of immediate attraction but Damien aka Facet refused to act on his attraction.Something about Willow drew Damien like a moth to a flame, a power that would manifest as a killer when Willow’s life was threatened. As their relationship grew, so too, did the threats against the people they loved. The $ex scenes are intimate and erotic.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and powerful secondary and supporting characters including several members of the RBMC, as well as witches, demons, Demi-demons, succubus and healers.

FACET is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, magic and murder, family, relationships, friendships and love. The fast paced premise is intriguing, captivating and engaging; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are determined, dangerous and magical.

REVIEW:BLOOD TIES: ALESSIO is the third instalment in Kristine Allen’s contemporary, adult LA FAMIGLIA DE LUCA erotic, Mafia romance series, a part of the multi-authored MAYHEM MAKERS series. This is Alessio ‘The Huntsman’ De Luca, and metal sculptor Nivea Bulgari’s story line. BLOOD TIES can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. There is a slight cross-over with the multi-authored RBMC series.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be trigger for more sensitive readers.

Told from three first person perspectives (Alessio, Nivea, Jade) BLOOD TIES follows the attempted assassination of Nivea Bulgari. Nivea is the adopted daughter of Matthew and Charlotte Bulgari, and our heroine had recently discovered she was the biological daughter of billionaire businessman Justin Santino. Justin’s sudden death, and the subsequent attempt on our heroine’s life aroused too many questions for the hired gunman. Enter Alessio ‘The Huntsman’ De Luca, and the man with whom Nivea will fall in love. What ensues is the quick building relationship between Nivea and Alessio, and the potential fall-out when Nivea discovers that Alessio was hired to take her down.

Alessio De Luca is an assassin for hire but something about his latest contract didn’t make sense. Nivea Bulgari is a quiet, stay at home, artist whose history doesn’t read like a vengeful killer, but Alessio was charged with taking her down. Nivea Bulgari never knew her biological parents but approximately one year earlier she would discover the man she knew nothing about. In the wake of Justin’s death, Nivea would become the target of jealousy and betrayal, a target that had no idea the truth would reveal a twisted tale.

The relationship between Nivea and Alessio begins as an assignment in which Alessio has been hired to kill our story line heroine. From the outset, nothing added up, and another gunman was taking aim at the woman with whom he would fall in love. Nivea Bulgari knows a thing or two about the darkness that surrounds men in her life, and with it, the lies but Alessio’s lies are about to break her heart, a heart she was quickly surrendering to our story line hero. The $ex scenes are intimate and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters include Nivea’s adopted parents Matthew and Charlotte Bulgari, and her biological father Justin Santino; Justin’s wife Jade, and his PA Carl. We are also reintroduced to Alessio’s brothers Vittorio and Gabriel, and several members of the RBMC Ankeny, Iowa.

BLOOD TIES is a story of murder, betrayal and vengeance, greed and jealousy, family, relationships, friendships and love. The fast paced premise is intriguing and a little twisty; the romance is provocative; the characters are desperate and determined.

REVIEW:BLOOD MONEY: Vittorio is the second instalment in Kristine Allen’s contemporary, adult LA FAMIGLIA DE LUCA erotic, Mafia romance series-a part of the multi-authored MAYHEM MAKERS SERIES. This is twenty-eight year old, Chicago underboss Vittorio De Luca, and twenty-six year old Kendall’s story line. BLOOD MONEY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of BLOOD MONEY cross over with, and run parallel to some of the events of book one BLOOD LUST.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be trigger for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Vittorio and Kendall) BLOOD MONEY follows the second chance romance and relationship between twenty-eight year old, Chicago underboss Vittorio De Luca, and twenty-six year old Kendall. Ten years earlier, Vittorio De Luca, of the De Luca crime family, fell in love with Kendall, the granddaughter of a small bakery owner, against his grandfather’s wishes. In an effort to protect the woman he loved, Vittorio walked away but never forgot about the woman that called to his heart. Fast forward to present day, Vittorio will discover Kendall has returned in the wake of her grandmother’s illness, a return that brings with it memories from the past but all is not well in Chicago, as someone is trying to encroach on the De Luca territory, taking aim at our story line heroine. What ensues is the rekindling romance and relationship between Vittorio and Kendall, and the potential fall-out as Kendall struggles with what happened and why, and Vittorio learns the truth about Kendall’s heart breaking past.

Kendall had quickly fallen in love with Vittorio De Luca. A summer spent together ended with Kendall’s broken heart, and Vittorio a no-show to say goodbye. Ten years would pass before Kendall would see Vittorio but memories would never erase the loss and heart break of what could have been. Vittorio De Luca’s life was never his own, and his relationship with Kendall went against his grandfather’s laws. In an effort to protect Kendall, Vittorio was about to destroy the woman he loved but her destruction would come at a much larger cost.

The relationship between Vittorio and Kendall begins as a forbidden romance; a summer affair that ended painfully cruel and surprisingly hard. Vittorio was desperate to protect our story line heroine but in doing so would lose much more than the woman who had stolen his heart. Kendall’s return to Chicago meant a second chance for Vittorio but a second chance that would come with new and different threats for the De Luca family. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.

We are reintroduced to Vittorio’s brothers Gabriel, Alessio, Lorenzo and Leo; friends/security Pietro and Dario, as well as Vittorio’s grandfather, their father, and Kendall’s Nonna, and parents. The requisite evil has many faces. The author includes cameos and drops the name of several other authors (including her own) who are participating in the Mayhem Makers series.

BLOOD MONEY is a story of family and relationships, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, second chances and forgiveness, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is emotional and captivating; the romance is provocative and seductive; the characters are charismatic, powerful yet vulnerable and lost.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 3, 2022

Once upon a time, I was Soap, happy-go-lucky member of the Demented Sons MC in Iowa. Beneath that façade, I had a secret I couldn’t afford to get out. All of that ended when the woman I loved died in my arms.
Driven by revenge, I searched for the party responsible for her death. When all I found were dead ends, I went to the Royal Bastards MC—known for uncovering the evil of the world and exterminating it. My stipulation—I wanted to be the one to kill whoever had stolen from me.
They refused. So I did what I had to do.
I joined them.
Slaughtering a human trafficker should be easy. What I wanted was within my grasp. Except, when I needed to pull the trigger, I hesitated. Because revenge is a dish best served cold, but a fiery blonde sparked an unexpected flame within me. Plans changed, I took her prisoner, and sh*t hit the fan.
If I wanted to keep her safe, I needed to embrace my secret and pray I could control the savage beast it unleashed.

REVIEW: SPARKING ARES is the third instalment in Kristine Allen’s contemporary, adult RBMC: Dallas TX paranormal, erotic, MC romance series. This is mountain lion shifter/MC member Memphis ‘Ares’, and Ember Cole’s story line. SPARKING ARES can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ares and Ember) SPARKING ARES follows in the wake of betrayal and revenge. As a member of the Demented Sons MC, Ares lost the woman he loved, and not getting the help from the brothers he friended, Ares walked, and worked his way into the RBMC: Dallas. Desperate to avenge the murder of his girlfriend, Ares got the information he needed, and set out to destroy George Horacio, the one man he held responsible but all does not go according to plan when, hoping to ‘kill’ George’s sister, everything backfires when Ares ‘lion’ is determined to claim Ember as their mate. Knowing he royally screwed up, Ares must now keep Ember imprisoned, a prisoner who has no idea as to the who or the what. What ensues is the building relationship between Ember and Ares, and the potential fall-out as Ember’s time with Ares comes to a close.

Ares has yet to gain revenge for the death of his former girlfriend, and falling for Ember was never in the cards. George Horacio had plans for Ember, a payment for a debt, but Ares took control before Ember’s life was destroyed. Ember never thought she would fall in love with her sexy captor but the heart wanted what was never hers to claim. Believing himself unworthy of love or a mate, Ares struggled to let go of the only woman he would ever want. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.

The secondary and supporting characters included club president Raptor and his mate Sage, Facet, Phoenix, Blade, One-Short, Gator, Torque, Sloane and Niara, as well as Ember’s step-brother George, and Albert Tarasov.

SPARKING ARES is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is entertaining and enchanting; the romance is seductive Edna fated; the characters are energetic, dynamic and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 27, 2022

Though Raptor and Sage (Cookie) got their HFN, you all knew there had to be more….
Not all things are as they seem.

••••••••••••

REVIEW: RAPTOR’S REVENGE is the second instalment and novella in Kristine Allen’s contemporary, adult RBMC: Dallas TX erotic, paranormal, MC romance series and a part of the multi-authored RBMC series. RAPTOR’S REVENGE and the RBMC: Dallas TX is a spin off from the author’s RBMC Ankey Iowa series. This is the continuing story of thirty-five year old, former Ankeny Iowa MC VP turned RBMC: Dallas MC President Adrien ‘Raptor’ Krow, and twenty-seven year old, former stripper turned manager Sage Bennett aka Cookie’s story line. Raptor’s Revenge can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading book one TAMING RAPTOR where Adrien and Sage’s story begins.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Adrien and Sage) RAPTOR’S REVENGE follows the ongoing relationship between Adrien ‘Raptor’ Krow and Sage Bennett. Adrien is a hawk shifter, as are his father, and his sons from a previous relationship but Adrien will discover that his ex has left his sons alone far too often, and our hero puts a plan into motion to reclaim the children (now teens) that he lost but a prior threat against Sage continues, and someone is stalking our story line heroine, a heroine’s whose past life is about to be exposed. What ensues is the continuing love story between Adrien and Sage, and the potential fall-out as the threat against Sage becomes personal and wild.

Adrien has loved and lost, barely knowing the children he was forced to give up. Refusing to fall in love, or commit himself to forever, Adrien had pushed Sage out of his life, watching from the sidelines as her own life slowly imploded. Claiming Sage was only the beginning but protecting Sage from his past was getting more difficult to do.

The relationship between Sage and Adrien began years before when Sage fell in love with our story line hero. Adrien aka Raptor was older than Sage, and Sage remained untouchable as far as he was concerned. Sage went on with her life, having struggled in a world few knew anything about but falling for Adrien was easy but her low self esteem meant battling the demons that threatened their love. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive.

The secondary and supporting characters include several members of the RBMC: Facet, Phoenix, Blade, Ares, One-Short, Gator, Torque, Tigger ; Adrien’s sons Seth and Sam; his parents Priscilla and Allen, cousins Evan, and Reyn, as well as Adrien’s ex Falina and her husband Hatham.

RAPTOR’S REVENGE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, obsession and madness, family and friendships, relationships and love. The fast paced premise is intriguing and captivating; the romance is passionate and intense; the characters are energetic and determined.

I’m Adrien Krow, but they call me Raptor.
Ten years ago, Sage was too damn young for my darkness, so I put up a wall. It worked—until the day it didn’t. Being with her wasn’t supposed to rock my world, but it sure as hell did.
The last thing I planned to do was move back to Texas and the secrets I left behind.
But all debts must be paid, and I owed a big one.
Now I’m the President of the Dallas, Texas chapter, and I’m haunted by the woman I left behind. I tell myself I’m better off alone, and I’m almost convinced. But then she shows up on the back of my brother’s goddamn bike with trouble nipping at her heels.
If that isn’t enough to piss me off, her trouble catches up, leaving both her and my chapter in the sights of a contract killer. I’m not taking either situation lying down. I’m stealing her from my brother, and I’m eliminating the threat against us.
Because Sage and the Dallas chapter are mine—and no one touches what’s mine.

REVIEW: TAMING RAPTOR is the first instalment in Kristine Allen’s contemporary, adult RBMC: Dallas TX erotic, paranormal, MC romance series and a part of the multi-authored RBMC series. TAMING RAPTOR and the RBMC: Dallas TX is a spin off from the author’s RBMC Ankey Iowa series. This is former thirty-five year old, Ankeny Iowa VP turned Dallas President Adrien ‘Raptor’ Krow, and twenty-seven year old, former stripper turned manager Sage aka Cookie’s story line.,

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from three first person perspectives (Adrien, Sage, Blade) following several timelines, RAPTOR focuses on the building relationship between Adrien Krow and Sage. For close to ten years Sage has lusted after, and fallen in love with our story line hero but Sage was a club girl, a stripper, and a woman who with a reputation amongst the other me. Raptor had kept his distance having loved and lost in the past but Sage was insistent and Raptor found himself falling for our story line heroine. A call from back home in Dallas Texas forced Adrien Krow to chose between his blood family and the brothers he loved, and in the process gained a new brotherhood, and the re-implementation of the Royal B*stards MC in Dallas Texas but all was not well in Ankeny Iowa, when the women and strippers became targets of a powerful man, a man who was determined to take ownership of the dancers and our story line heroine. Separated for months, Sage struggled with what was and what will never be but the threats were personal, and Sage found herself facing down the man she would always loves. What ensues is the building relationship between Sage and Adrien, and the potential fall-out as Sage battles between head and heart, and Adrien must come to terms with the past, the present, and forward into the future.

Adrien ‘Raptor’ Krow is a hawk shifter, and comes from a long line of shifter males. Losing his first family to betrayal and lies, Raptor vowed never to fall in love, and never find himself in a position of heart break or loss but the past has returned, and with it, the possibility of rebuilding his family,a family that now includes the woman with whom he is falling in love.

The relationship between Adrien and Sage is highly sexual. Adrien doesn’t do relationships and loves but something about Sage pulls Adrien like a moth to a flame. Returning home to Dallas Texas meant leaving our heroine behind but when Sage becomes the target of a powerful man, her best friend and fellow MC member Blade knows it is time to push our couple back together. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including most of the members of the RBMC Ankeny Iowa, the new start up members with the RBMC Dallas, as well as Adrien’s parents Priscilla and Allen, his sons Sam and Seth, as well as Finley aka Blade.

TAMING RAPTOR is a story of betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, loss and love, family and second chances. The premise is intriguing, captivating and engaging; the romance is hot and steamy; the characters are desperate, broken, powerful and magical.

After we were caught, she was ripped away, leaving me begging for death. Dropped into the middle of the Civil War, I thought my wish had been granted. Little did I know, my punishment was my anguish on Earth and it would never end.

For years, I was a lost soul, wandering—until I found the Ankeny RBMC. With them, something within my empty chest settled and I dared put down roots.

When she showed up on our doorstep, I was stunned. Except she had no memory of me or that it was my fault her brother died.

Now, a sinister evil is toying with us, threatening to separate us… permanently.

It’s not happening on my watch. I failed once before, and we lost heaven to have each other. But nothing in hell would keep us apart.

They call me Sabre, but this is my real story.

REVIEW:SABRE is the seventh instalment in Kristine Allen’s adult ROYAL B&STARDS MC: ANKENY IA erotic, paranormal, MC romance series, a part of the multi-authored RBMC series. This is Sabre aka Aros Roscoe Denali, and Soleil Rose Castile’s story line. SABRE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sabre and Soleil) SABRE follows the rekindling relationship between Sabre aka Aros Roscoe Denali, and Soleil Rose Castile. Approximately seven to eight hundred years earlier a guardian angel was sent to watch over his charge but said angel fell in love, leaving the man was supposed to watch, die. Punished by the gods for his misbehavior, Aros is sentenced to walk the Earth for all eternity, never finding love or happiness again. Fast forward to present day wherein Aros now known as Roscoe finds himself a member of the RBMC, a MC made up mostly of magical members. When the local police are unable to locate the family of a young woman rescued from human traffickers, Sabre suddenly realizes he has been given a second chance with the woman he loves. Enter Soleil Rose Castile, a woman who is unable to remember what happened or why. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Sabre and Soleil, and the potential fall-out as the past returns, determined to destroy our story line couple.

The relationship between Soleil and Sabre is one of second chances but Soleil has no memory of the past, and therefore, no memory of the man she once loved. A Cacodaemon has set his sights on Sabre and Soleil but Sabre refuses to let go of the woman he loves. The $ex scene are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including most of the previous story lines couples, as well as the revelation of angels and demons, vampires, witches and fae. We are introduced to Soleil’s brother Hayden. The requisite evil has many faces.

SABRE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, obsession and determination, penance and forgiveness, love and acceptance. The fast paced premise is enchanting and engaging ; the romance is seductive and intense; the characters are broken, charismatic and determined.
