Desire Unchained: A Demonica Novel (Demonica series Book 2)
I did like this book, but I did not bond as much as I thought I would. After book one, I was certain Shade would be my favorite brother. Hot biker look, long black hair, black leather, tattooed, rugged and sexy! While I felt there was emotion clearly depicted, I found myself somewhat disconnected throughout the story. I blame Shade’s “curse”! It held him back from loving, which in turn, held me back from completely *feeling* the connection between the two main characters. Never fear, it is worthy of reading, integral to the continuing storyline, and anyway, book #3 brought me back front and center!

Book Review – Pleasure Unbound by Larissa Ione
Pleasure Unbound: A Demonica Novel (Demonica series Book 1)
I am already loving this series. With just one book, I have bonded with the characters, and I’m as intrigued by the other two brothers, as I was with the main character. I care for every potential developing relationship, and can’t wait to see how they play out.
This book is about a demon underground world that is merged but well hidden within the human world. Demons, in this series, can be a multitude of creatures (from vampires to ghouls, to Incubi to shape-shifters). The Demon world has it’s own set of rules, and laws, and while the different species do not always get along, there is one place where all species are safe and treated without prejudice. Eidolon, a handsome, skilled doctor, and also a “Seminus Demon”, has set up a special hospital (identical to any human hospital – equipped with doctors and nurses, ambulances, and EMT professionals) for the underworld.
What I am reading today…
I just got back from a trade show (and I’m absolutely exhausted)!
I’m glad to finally be reading again (with all the show preparations and then the show itself, my reading time was completely taken over), but I’m happy to be curling up with a good book yet again.
I have just started Larissa Ione’s Demonica series (Book 1 – Pleasure Unbound), and am halfway through the first book. So far so good! While it is not entirely vampires, the supernatural characters are interesting, and while it differs greatly from the Lynsay Sands & Kerrelyn Sparks books I am used to, the style actually reminds me of Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series (half human slayer, with many prejudices against the supernatural, who learns a great deal from befriending someone she once considered her enemy).
Part 4 of my trip to the Orlando Romantic Times Convention
It was Saturday morning, and I was up much too early considering how late I had gotten to bed, but my excitement for the book fair was enough to keep me wide awake and ready to go.
I arrived right on time, and couldn’t wait to seek out my favorite authors. As I walked into the large ballroom, setup with rows upon rows of tables, fully loaded with books, and an author behind each pile, I felt like a kid in a candy store.
Suddenly, that overwhelming feeling took hold of me again, as I turned in circles trying to decide where to head to first. All authors were seated in alphabetical order, and the public was even provided an author seating plan to help us find our favorites faster, but my mind literally went blank! Who was I looking for again? My absolute favorites that I knew by heart (including all of their titles) escaped me, as I realized I couldn’t even put two words together (this happens to me everytime I walk into a bookstore, too!)
