"FORBIDDEN TEMPTATIONS
Serena Kelley is an archaeologist and treasure hunter-and a woman with a secret. Since she was seven, she's been the keeper of a powerful charm that grants her health and immortality . . . as long as she stays a virgin. But Serena isn't all that innocent. And when a dangerously handsome stranger brings her to the brink of ecstasy, she wonders if she's finally met the one man she cannot resist.
FATAL DESIRES
Wraith is a Seminus demon with a death wish. But when an old enemy poisons him, he must find Serena and persuade her to give him the only known antidote in the universe-her charm. Yet, as she begins to surrender to his seductions and Wraith senses the cure is within his grasp, he realizes a horrible truth: He's falling for the woman whose life he must take in order to save his own."
After loving the first two books of this series so utterly, I never thought that it could only get better. I was so wrong.
Though I have been Shade Girl since the first book, Wraith always caught my eyes. I was always wondering and very curious as to who would be the woman to finally get through to him. Wraith is a broken man, born of an awful event and thrust into an horrendous situation. He suffered so much only to be saved by his brothers. From then on he has lived a wild life, not really caring about anything or anyone aside from Shade and Eidolon and in some level the Hospital, the three of them built together and his constant quest for the next thrill. However, his new quest is for life, his life. He has been poisoned and his life is in the hands of one human woman.
Serena was given a charm as a child. A charm that was not originally meant for her and has been the cause of many problems. A charm that holds the key to the future. Serena is aware of its importance, though not of the specifics, however, her nature compels her to keep active and always seek adventure and adrenaline, things she loves to the core. The only adventure she has never been able and can't go through is love. To be more exact, she can't have sex, lose her virginity or the charm she protects will be transfered to that person.
I loved this book so much. Wraith is an extremely complex and deep character. Yes, he is a bastard, rude, violent, selfish and pretty hate worthy a lot of the time. However, his internal struggles are compelling and you cannot help but feel for his pain. Serena is such a lovable woman. She is strong, feisty, adventurous and I could not have imagined a better match for our dear Wraith.
I absolutely loved the plot in this book. I don't want to give anything away, but it was so intense and awesome, I just could not put it down and even finished the book in less than a day. There were plenty of action and surprises along the way that just kept me at the edge and the sexiness of it just about got my blood to a boil. Wraith and Serena are so hot together and their chemistry was amazing.
I can't leave out the secondary couple in this book. Kynan is back and has decided to fight for Gem. Even thought they are not the main couple, their story is so sweet and tough that you can't help but get involved.
This series just keeps getting better and better and I am an unconditional fan of Larissa Ione. Her words just flow seemingly as though they were written without effort. This series is already in as one of my favorites ever and I recommend it to anyone that enjoys the paranormal and a lot of sexiness hehe =)
I give it 5/5 Loveys
Smut Level 5/5 =)

I Can't Believe In All My Postings I Forgot To Mention That A Am NEW To This Series.
Great review! Since I haven't read the first two books, I'm not quite sure about whats going on with the plot, but I'm desperate to read this just from the way you describe the characters!
*sigh* this is SOOOO my Fav!!! Wraith....lickable .....delish. i like the bad boy......oh Larissa, you wrote this man after my heart!!!!
I have to say that aside from 70% loving the brothers themselves, 30% of my attention is in Kynan's side story with Gem XP
great review! this is my favorite book of the series! Wrath is definitely my man :)
