Cassandra is everything I’m not. Kind, warm, optimistic… happy.
If I was less of a selfish prick, I’d walk away. But I can’t.
It was supposed to be one night of fun, but ten months after Valentine Roulette he can’t get the feisty model out of his head. She’s invaded his dreams, ruined every session at Black Light, and it’s been four months since she even returned a text.
This isn’t him.
… text.
This isn’t him.
Logan Chisholm doesn’t obsess over women.
He doesn’t replay every sweet cry he drew from their lips, doesn’t remember the way their smile changes when they laugh, but Cassandra Moreira is different.
He has to figure out if their chemistry was real… or just part of the game.
Luckily, Christmas has come early this year, because she’s back in L.A. and he’s not letting her leave again without getting a second date.
And this time he won’t take no for an answer.

I have to confess that I haven’t read many of the Black Light book’s in this series, but it’s not my first book to read by Jennifer, so I knew I’d enjoy reading this one and I wasn’t wrong.
If you’ve never read her stories she has a way of drawing you in and having you feel and see what her character’s are saying and doing and these 2 MC’s Logan and Cassandra their chemistry was so hot and perfectly imperfect which worked for them.
This is definitely a must read.
Sweet, sexy and steamy hot kink!
Cassandra is a model, she’s obviously beautiful but her beauty is not just on the outside. She’s happiness and light, spontaneous, cheeky and sassy, a lover of life. The complete opposite of Logan who bears the burden of his fathers success and the pressures forced upon him to be absolutely perfect. He’s a dom, a great one when it comes to kink and submissives, but holds a bit too much control over the rest of his life which leaves him a workaholic and actually very alone. He is as described, an a-hole and a gentleman.
I loved both of these very different characters. Logan was very loveable especially when Cassandra distracted him enough to get outside his own head. They were fantastic together, steamy hot chemistry and had some very sexy bdsm scenes (pass me a fan). They both had their own issues they struggled to talk about. I loved the way Cassie made him work after he made a huge monumental mistake. It made her and their relationship so much more realistic and stronger and made them both (but especially Logan) look inside themselves to grow as people.
I loved this book, it had everything…. humour, emotion, hot scenes, character growth and best friends you’d want to have on your side. A wonderfully written page turner I thoroughly enjoyed.
Rating 4.5 charmed stars
Black Light: Charmed is/has many thing . . .
Beautiful!
AMAZING Scenes!!!!
Characters you will fall in love with!
It truly is beyond charming!
What started as a game ends up as a true connection
I love that we get to see the differences in these two and yet the connection that just can’t be ignored. The author really took the time to further develop her characters and built this story into one that you will not want to miss. Her scenes are hot, and it is so touching how opposites truly attract when the staid and standoffish Logan can’t get the beautiful, bratty Cassandra off of his mind. This is such a touching story and really displays the author at her best, I can’t wait to see what she brings my way next.
Once again a fantastic addition to the Black Light series! I loved the multifaceted layers to Logan – his hot dom side, but also the serious man who had a lonely and sad childhood. The contrast of this to Cassandra’s happy go lucky, carefree and bratty personality works really well. There was a large dose of realism in this book which I enjoyed, you felt connected to the characters and that they were real people with real concerns and challenges. This teaches us the importance of communication, how interdependence is more important than independence and has of course the prerequisite smoking hot scenes. This is light, sweet, so sexy and funny and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
A sexy stormy love that was captivating. The connection that the characters have was not only steamy but playful. They made you smile and cry at the same time.
You might want to plug your ears before you read this next part. Ready?
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! IT’S ANOTHER BLACK LIGHT BOOK!
You may now unplug your ears.
If you remember Cassandra and Logan from the most recent Valentine Roulette, then grab your favorite drink and snacks, and gear up for a fun ride. If you haven’t…well…I’d suggest reading the story first but Jennifer Bene gives us a synopsis of what took place, so technically you won’t be missing out on anything other than another fab Valentine Roulette.
So, likes: Wow, where to begin. Logan and Cass, for sure. They are so incredibly likeable and sweet together, you might get cavities from reading this story. The chemistry, Ms. Bene built between them was amazing. And then there are the other scenes—filled with sass and more laughter and so much scintillating action that you might need to break out your favorite BOB.
Logan and Cassandra met at Black Light and sparks flew. Logan can’t seem to get over his obsession of being with her again and now that she is back in LA, he won’t miss the chance to do so. Cassandra really isn’t into a relationship with Logan, can he convince her otherwise? Fast-paced steamy read with loads of drama and intense chemistry. I was hooked from beginning to end. I loved it!
Original and creative, Charmed is a fun read with an amazing plot and an adorable Cassandra who is a brat a a smokin’ hot dom Logan.
A must read book. An arc was generously provided in exchange for an honest review.
I am a huge lover of the Black Light series and when a new book comes out, I can’t wait to read it. This story about Logan and Cassandra melted my heart and made me fall in love with these characters. They met at Black Light at Valentine’s and knew there was instant attraction. Only problem is Cassandra is a model and travels so it is difficult to get together with Logan. Until one day, Logan makes it happen and the sizzling chemistry is most definitely still there. But can Logan convince Cassandra that a relationship can work between them? This story had me laughing, crying and hoping that they would end up together. But can two people from such totally different backgrounds make it work? I have to say Cassandra holds a special place in my heart because she is such a breath of fresh air and you can’t help but love her! And Logan needs someone like her in his life. I absolutely loved this book and so will you!!
Jennifer Bene’s contribution to the Black Light series is Charmed which is the story of model Cassandra and CEO LOgan. Logan and Cassandra met at Black Light and scened during Roulette. Logan is captured by the slightly masochistic sweetly bratty Cassandra but with conflicting schedules, they haven’t reconnected. It’s not until Logan comes to see Cassandra at a runway show that they finally reconnect. Logan wants more but Cassandra is reluctant.
Charmed is a good story of two people who are polar opposites coming together and making it work but not without some conflict and some bumps along the way. Cassandra and Logan are both well-developed, easily likable characters that you will find yourself rooting for. With a good combination of relationship building and incredibly hot BDSM scenes, the story flows nicely.
Engaging and enjoyable, Charmed is a good choice if you are in the mood for romance with high heat.
This book is just perfect, charmingly, imperfectly, perfect. The chemistry between Logan and Cassandra does not disappoint. Their physical and emotional connection is sizzling; however, they are not on the same page about their relationship or wether they should even be in a relationship. On of the things I really loved about this book is the character development. Logan is the more broken character, but even with Cassandra’s very healthy upbringing, she has her hang ups too (and that is so normal). My other thing I absolutely LOVED but cannot give away, was how Logan makes up with Cassandra. OMG, it was a tears-in-my eye, lump-in-my-throat, genius move . Ms. Bene books are always a good bet, and of course it’s Blacklight. All around, a definite five star read!
Wow, I absolutely loved reading this book. Cassandra and Logan’s story reminds me so much of beauty and the Beast. I love that Cassandra makes him think and leaves a lasting impression. I also, love that Logan is persistent and willing to learn Mostly I love that Cassandra’s friends has got her back. Lastly I love the growth that Logan has gone through to be a better man.
This book was a great read. Another great book in the Black Light Series. Black Light books never disappoint. Always something new, which I won’t reveal, that adds just a little something extra. The book is super hot with a beautiful love story. Love strong characters too!
I don’t quite know what to say about this book. It’s lighter fare than most of the other books in the Black Light universe, but it still packs a pretty hefty emotional punch. (Take note to keep the tissues handy because you’re probably going to need them before the end. I did.) I really connected with these characters. I’ve seen life from both their perspectives. I’m a fourth-generation perfectionist, so I know all about what Logan’s going through. But I also grew up surrounded by the love of family and friends; I can completely understand Cassandra’s outlook on life and relationships. There are a couple of things I really appreciated about this book. Brats will never be my favorite type of character in this genre, but even though Cassandra’s prone to some very brat-like behavior, at no point did Logan want to “tame” her or smother her fire. In fact, he wanted her to burn as bright as she was able. He loved her because of her strength and independence, not in spite of it. I also really liked that this story shows both characters growing and changing. They each have to compromise a little to find the right happy ever after for them. I kind of didn’t want this book to end. I might have been a weepy emotional mess by the end, but I wasn’t ready for it to be over. I’m now more curious than ever to see what new things the Black Light authors have in store for us.
I received a complimentary copy of this book Through Hidden Gems Books.
I so was not expecting the turn this book took. Logan and Cassandra were so far apart when the book started. The connection they shared at Black Light pulls them together and keeps them yearning for something I don’t know if either one truly believed they could have.
What I wasn’t expecting was the truly dark side of Logan. I watched him kind of spiral into the darkness with Cassandra being his only source of light. The entire time I kept hoping they would find a way. Like Cassandra, I didn’t see a way out for them, but the hope never left.
This book had some really intriguing layers to it. please don’t think it was all dark. There were some witty moments as well as some fun and humorous moments.
There was no cliffhanger involved, but I feel like there is more to share of Logan and Cassandra’s story. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this book received via Hidden Gems.
For 10 months Logan looked for Cassandra! After seeing that she was modeling in a show he waits for her. Will these two rekindle what they’d found in Blacklight 10 months prior? Let’s hope so because it was hot and sexy. A definite must read.
What another read from this series. This story pulls you right in from the beginning.
DENISE’S DREAMY REVIEW
There’s something so intriguing about this world and I can’t stop going back for more! If you’re into a consensual, BDSM, well-written romance… then you need this book in your life!
I’m used to Bene’s darker side of romance, but this right here just shows that I love her all of what she writes, regardless of what she chooses to write!
I absolutely loved and adored Logan and Cassandra, the growth of their characters, and how character-driven this book was! It definitely was not what I was expecting, but it was everything I didn’t know I wanted and more! The chemistry between these two was STEAMING hot!
An easy stars for me! I cannot wait to see what Bene writes next!
I absolutely adore this story. Logan and Cassandra had such amazing chemistry. This story was sweet and gave me all the feels. 4 solid stars.
