Product Description

Pleasure is their ultimate weapon ...Runa Wagner never meant to fall in love with the sexy stranger who seemed to know her every deepest desire. But she couldn't resist the unbelievable passion that burned between them, a passion that died when she discovered his betrayal and found herself forever changed. Now, determined to make Shade pay for the transformation that haunts her, Runa searches for him, only to be taken prisoner by his darkest enemy. A Seminus Demon with a love-curse that threatens him with eternal torment, Shade hoped he'd seen the last of Runa and her irresistible charm. But when he wakes up in a dank dungeon chained next to an enraged and mysteriously powerful Runa, he realizes that her effect on him is more dangerous than ever. As their captor casts a spell that bonds them as lifemates, Shade and Runa must fight for their lives and their hearts-or succumb to a madman's evil plans.

Customer Reviews

This one earns major Sexy Points!
This is turning out to be a great series!

We return to the demon hospital with it's preternatural doctors and nurses. This book is about Shade, the second brother who is also an incubus. Shade gets kidknapped by Ghouls who butcher demons and sell their parts on the black market. Hmm, nasty stuff. While trapped in his cell he runs into an ex girfriend who he cruelly dumped 10 months earlier, Runa..Runa wants to kill him (and who can blame her?) but she isn't the same girl that he knew before. She's ....different. Somehow (well, I'm not telling you how..) they are bonded together but are thrown into a race against time because Shade has a curse that could kill both of them. Runa has been working for a secret divison of the army and has been sent to spy on Shade and the demon hospital but is conflicted when she sees Shade and his collegues saving the lives of demons who have been ill treated by humans. This is a fast paced book with a great balance of romance, hot sex, male bonding and urban fantasy. You will struggle to put it down! We meet some new characters and revisit the old, there are some fabulous scenes with Kynan and Gem and the author does a brilliant job of enticing us with the next book which is out in March 2009.

I can't say too much without giving it away. If you like The Black Dagger Brotherhood and The Dark Hunters then this is one for you. There are some action scenes and a hideous bad guy holding a grudge but there is also a good dose of warm and fuzzies to make you smile. The characterisation is well written and for me...that's what makes the book work, I need to find a connection with the characters and IMO the author does a great job of sucking the reader in and leaving enough little clues to make you pine for the next story.

For any paranormal romance fans out there...add this one to your wishlist now but I would recommend reading the first book, Pleasure Unbound first.

Loved it!
The previous reviewer has provided an excellant summary!
This is just as good as the first in teh series (you must read them in order to get the most from the books). Larissa Ione is now on my 'must buy' list! Cant wait for more!

Hot Sensual and Unputdownable
This has all the elements of my favourite kind of book. Gorgeous but damaged hero, strong passionate heroine, great supporting characters, and a great plot that has you hooked from page 1. I love the world she creates so vividly,it's facsinating and unique. Its also very sensual and erotic, the 3 brothers Eidolon, Shade and Wraith, being Seminus demons. Shade has no alternative but to satisfy a females sexual needs when he senses them, whatever they may be.
She is a gifted storyteller and you will fall madly in love with her characters, it's also full of emotion and humour.
This is my first book by L.I. and I loved it, I'm going right out and getting the rest of the Demonica series. Highly recommended. Reminds me of Christine Feehan, Nalini Singh, Lara Adrian who I love.
