Desire Unchained: A Demonica Novel
by Larissa Ione

Pleasure is their ultimate weapon...

Runa Wagner never ment to fall in love with the sexy stranger... but she couldn't resist the unbelievable passion that burned between them, a passion that died when she discovered his betrayal... 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, Shade hoped he'd seen the last of Runa and her irresistible charm. But when he wakes up... chained next to an enraged and mysteriously powerful Runa, he realizes that her effect on his is more dangerous than ever. Shade and Runa must fight for their lives and their hearts—or succumb to a madman's evil plans.


Cover Art: Red & Shiny, Typography relates a sense of old souls, Medical cross symbolism gets lost, Male with tattoos is always hot, Could have used a little more bondage references or ugly demons *

Sexuality: M/F, BDSM

Paranormality: Vampires, Demons, Werewolves...

Review:
This story held on to me. The emotional angst of the demon had me on tenterhooks. I loved it and need to write more indepth about why BUT now that is has been a couple weeks I'm not sure. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just shows that the book was more entertaining than emotionally challenging.

A nice spicy read. Not too offensive and nothing that made me blush, but I have a high tolerance. Gritty and dirty but fluffy at the same time! *Wow, my prowess with words is outstanding today!*

* I'm a graphic artist. We are trained to be vicious bloodsucking weapons of truth, hence the "rough" critiques/reviews. It's not that I don't like this novel. Simply, everything can be better. And examining what could be polished allows me to learn and better MY skills.

While rifling through my TBR pile, my eye caught on this shiny cover. I am exactly two pages ahead of this quote. Here's an exceprt from Desire Unchained: A Demonica Novel by Larissa Ione - pg 56

"Her head snapped back as if her had slapped her. 'I would never wish this on you.' She looked down at her hands, which were folded in her lap. 'I know what it's like to love a sibling.' "

Here's the cover blurb for a little more background.

Pleasure is the ultimate weapon...

Runa Wagner never meant to fall in love with a 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 his 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.
