 AN ANCIENT GRUDGE.

 A FORBIDDEN LOVE.

What is this beauty about?

The only thing worse than being a demon is being a Valari. As an undergraduate at Los Angeles’s Alameda University, Kara Valari can sometimes succeed at forgetting she’s both. Lost between the pages of the classics and tucked into the shadows of lecture halls, she can dodge the paparazzi’s lenses as well as her family’s publicized dramas—not to mention their private expectations. She has one more year to feed her true passions. Then she’ll be expected to fulfill a much darker destiny.

Cursed with inexplicable strength and god-like stature, literature professor Maximus Kane knows all about darkness. Every day he’s reminded of the missteps of his childhood and the devastating consequences they’ve had on those dearest to him. To atone, Maximus spends his nights alone and his days submerged in the quiet life of academia. His existence has become a study in control, and he’s become a master at it—until Kara Valari walks into his toughest course.

Viscerally, Kara’s everything he craves. Logically, she’s everything he rejects. She’s a starlet of privilege. She’s also a student. And after one touch, he can’t deny that she’s awakened something in him that may never go dormant. Nothing about her makes sense, but everything about her feels right. Especially in the deepest strands of his DNA, which are still shadows of mystery to him—a mystery Kara seems determined to uncover.

She’s Hollywood royalty. She’s forbidden fruit. And he’s pretty sure she could be the answer to everything. 

MY OPINION 

Epic romance! If the cover isn’t enough to tempt you, the forbidden love story inside will surely conquer you.

Luxurious power, endless wealth and notorious family name all compete to bestow a dark legend around Kara Valari. Not even the fires in hell can drag her away from her fascination for literature professor Maximus Kane. A man, but not just a mortal man. And the tragedy is born.

So very exciting!

This is a beautiful romance forged in mythology, tormented souls, sectarian traditions, and fate. The atmosphere blends modern luxury, ancient mysticism and a paranormal biology with a lust that vibrates through the pages.

The characters bring sophisticated talks about Dante and Hell to their dance of seduction. The pull and push of mind-blowing chemistry and untapped dangers play its magic in scenes where the couple challenges and tempts each other. They are fighting their fiery desire while attempting to decipher their connection, his foggy origins, and her mafia-like family.

The result is addictive. I really can't say what I enjoyed the most. The arousing buildup of impossible intimacy? The nagging secrets about the characters' mysterious identities? Maybe the horrible, yet darkly erotic fate that awaits Kara as her biblical duty? That Lucifer look alike was my undoing :-D

When Maximus and Kara finally succumb to their passion it is truly a moment of tempestuous bliss. True scorcher! That cliffhanger in the end is a portal to a veritable source of devilish plots that I am eager to explore. Bring the underworld on!

Synopsis

Olivia Bridge has always been a good girl—good grades, good friends, and a good job that her wealthy parents handed her. Desperate to carve out a life that is truly hers, Liv walks away from it all and takes on the challenge of helping her brothers open a chain of fitness centers in New York City. Just as she’s beginning to find her footing in a new place, she’s caught between two men who couldn’t be more determined to turn all her goodness inside out.

Will Donovan has the capital to make the Bridge brothers’ entrepreneurial dreams a reality. Taking their uptight sister to bed seems a reasonable perk for the risk. Liv is the smartest, sexiest prude Will’s ever met, and he can’t wait to break her down.

Life is too short for Ian Savo to play by anyone’s rules. Sharing women with his friend isn’t anything new, so when Will introduces him to Liv, he can’t wait to get a taste. But falling for the same girl, or falling at all, was never in the plans...

**********************

The Bridge Series follows Cameron, Darren, and Olivia Bridge, three siblings living in New York City. Desperate to break away from the crushing expectations of their wealthy and privileged and equally broken family, they carve out a new path together. But can they find real love along the way? 

Each book follows a different sibling’s journey and can be read as a standalone.

MY OPINION

One highly-educated woman. Two strong men.

Sounds intriguing, right? I was indeed.

This is an intense, emotional story. When I finished reading it, I was fulfilled.

Will comes across as obnoxious and offensive at times. I didn't care much for him when he treats Olivia so condescendingly and makes an outrageous proposition that comes off as demeaning. at least, she showed a minimum of dignity before succumbing to temptation. Despite his harsh attitude and domination in bed, the intimacy between them is scorching-hot.

Then Ian, who works at the fire department, comes into the scene. That's when the real action begins.

Well, well, well.

Heat levels become critic then :-D

This double relationship is the very passionate centre of the plot. It is intertwined with family pressure and social expectations surround all of them, which give an extra edge to their character development.

I liked how important their respective families were in their lives and decision-making. The writing style is elegant and the dialogues kept my attention because they are driven and focused either on very deep emotional issues or drastic life decisions.

As the story unfolds, I started to really love Ian's tormented and sensitive nature and his quiet strength. I loved Liv's struggle with finding herself, her link with art and her trying to find independence from her controlling parents. Even though Will's not my favourite, he's dealing with financial ruin on his father's part and that was also quite interesting and insightful. Both men, fortunately, show an impressive passion for the woman they share. Wow.

This triangular relationship evolved with so much intensity and ardent love. It enveloped me completely with the consequences of this unorthodox situation on family and friends, and how life-changing it'd be for all in both good and bad ways. I suffered with one particular blow that almost destroyed them. That turn of events was so gripping. While I didn't like how quickly it was resolved in the end, from one line saying it was over to the next getting back together albeit in a very dramatic setting, I adored everything in between and the ending, too.

The author  nurtures her characters, gives them emotional depth and allows them to face obstacles to have them soar afterwards, stronger and happier.

It's a beautiful, sensual, loving story.
