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.

Whew! This was a rollercoaster ride
Well she did it again. A other great book in the Black Light world by Bene. I’m always amazed by how cohesive the books are even though they’re from different authors. The complex world of Black Light allows each new standalone to shine while enhancing the overall quality of the whole. This is erotica at its finest.
The main characters in Charmed are very different from his I usually picture Black Light characters. They are both very strong personalities and the bdsm component wasn’t the main feature here. The relationship building and struggles took center stage and made the romance shine. I’m so glad Logan got a HEA, he really needed it. Even a .com can need help overcoming his last and teaching for !ove. Outstanding job.
If you haven’t how Cass and Logan’s story first began, back in Valentine Roulette, it’s not necessary…..but oh so worth going back to do that. I loved this couple together so much! The chemistry was so steamy and the writing was so well done (which is usual for the amazing Jennifer Bene lol). i recommend this book, it is so well worth the read!!
Black Light Charmed will pull you in for a steamy read!
I started reading Jennifer’s stories in 2016 and she quickly moved into my top 10 author list as I love how she pulls you into her characters lives. This story has a feel of “A Christmas Carol” as Logan is all about the business his father left him, and unable to see past work to have friends or see the joy in Christmas. Logan and Cassandra met during Roulette but Cassandra’s work kept her away for 10 months. Logan shows up at a fashion show at Runway that Cassandra is in, still denying that he is fixated on Cassandra. Cassandra’s career is taking off so doesn’t think there is any future with Logan, but is willing to see where the next few weeks go. As Logan struggles to share his life with Cassandra, will he ruin their chance of a relationship? You have to read to find out and won’t put this book down until you turn the last page.
This story delivered everything I was hoping for and more. I fell in love with Logan and Cassandra in the Roulette book and I’ve been (not so) patiently waiting for their full story. The emotional ups and downs that JB puts in her stories are what keep me are one of my favorite things about her writing. She is one of my all time favorite authors when it comes to dark reads, but her light ones (like this one) are no less captivating. There were parts of the story that broke my heart, and that made the sweeter moments all the better. The story isn’t short on sexiness, thank goodness, but it really was the emotional connections that gripped me in this one. I’m once again reminded of how brilliant Ms. Bene is with this amazing addition to the BL world.
I have yet to read any of the Black Light books that have disappointed, and this book by Jennifer Bene doesn’t either. This isn’t an author I’ve read a lot of, I’ve generally found her books to be too dark for my preference. So I was a bit worried about Charmed, but it turns out that I loved it! The characters were both very strong and worked well together. It was interesting watching the changing dynamics between the D/s , it made for a wonderful story.
This book started off a bit slow for me. It seemed like it was gonna be too easy for Cassandra and Logan. But Jennifer Bene never makes anything easy for her characters! As the story unfolded it grabbed ne by the throat and wouldn’t let me go until the very last page.
I love Cassandra’s upveat and positive personality. I love that Logan has a bit of a darker side.
Jennifer deals with an issue in this book that may be a bit sensitive to some but what I appreciate about Jennifer’s writing is that she is not afraid to bring real life situations into her storylines. Another great addition to the Blacklight family!
Fantastic and super sweet!
This is a fantastic, super sweet and super sexy story! Cassandra and Logan have intense chemistry and passion. The pull they have to be together is very strong and very relatable. Cassandra is feisty and sassy, and Logan is demanding and fierce. They are the perfect match. As a sub/dom relationship, these two create some very sexy and intensely scorching hot scenes together that will leave you squirming in your seat!
I love these characters and the emotional journey their story takes us on. I loved every second of it.
I received an advanced reader copy. I am voluntarily leaving a review. Logan and Cassie were paired at Roulette.. There was a spark that they felt but Cassie’s career as a model has taken off and so she is barely in town. When Logan finds out she has a modeling gig at Runway, he gets himself invited. Their original spark ignites but will it be doused by her work commitments or by his? Of course there is lots of steam. ( I did cry at some parts)
Changes
While this is a BDSM novel it is so much more. A story of love, trust, communication, misunderstandings, hurt, pain, heat, chemistry, family, second chances and new beginnings.
Cassandra and Logan travel a road of lust, pain, parting and growth before finding a HEA. Good characters and a lovely story.
Cassandra and Logan seemed like an unlikely pair and it took a few chapters for me to get into the story. Once invested, I could not put it down. Cassandra is charming and lives life out loud; Logan leads a charmed life devoid of happiness. They each bring what the other needs – acceptance, belonging and joy. The writing is excellent – great plot, interesting characters, lots of emotion and personality and of course kinky (this is Black Light after all). This is a great addition to the Black Light world and I’ve loved every book in this series. This is a stand-alone, but you’ll want to read more – if you like the kinky, Black Light is the place. I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
Logan is a CEO strict dominant who met Cassandra an up and coming bratty model at the Roulette party at Black Light. She is sweet, smart , sexy and the light to his dark and loneliness. They had one night that that left them wanting more, but both of them have issues and walls that are holding them back. The story is one of longing, sweetness, and so much heat. I honestly volunteered to review this story.
Logan bid on and won Cassandra at the last Black Light Valentine Roulette. Cassandra is a model and as such, has been too busy traveling around the world to be able to meet up with Logan again. But, Logan never gives up on something or someone he really wants. Cassandra is bratty and sassy and full of charm. She exudes happiness and joy. Logan is a wealthy businessman, who tends to focus on being able to run his company and eliminate problems. The chemistry between these two is HOT and electric and sexy as hell. Cassandra is also quite an eager masochist, which calls directly to Logan’s dominance. Their relationship reaches many exciting highs and one devastating low. I most certainly enjoyed this story and cannot wait for Ms. Bene to give us more.
If you read the Black Light Series you definitely need to read this book! Talk about a roller coaster ride, one minute you’re up next minute you’ve hit the bottom. Cassandra and Logan have that perfect chemistry that everyone is searching for which is why they frustrate you but go along for the ride because it’s DEFINITELY worth it!! I CAN’T put into words how worth it it is. I CAN’T WAIT to read the next book in this AMAZING series because they just keep getting better!! I was given an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion of this book.
Loved it! I originally became a fan of this author from reading her books with a darker edge, but this story while not dark still has her trademark edge. Logan is not to be denied, and Cassandra knows her own mind and is not going to just give in. In the Black Light world, this is a recipe for another epic addition to the series. Get ready for an emotionally riveting journey of polar opposites in life and personality that is sassy, driven, and topped with a shivering dollop of BDSM deliciousness. Great read!
Ms. Bene just charmed me with this beautiful story.
I loved every minute reading this book.
Cassandra is not only outwardly beautiful.
But inside as well.
She’s like a bright ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.
Her happiness and joy shines through and touches everything around her.
Logan is a bit broody and standoffish.
He doesn’t befriend easily.
But with Cassandra he can’t let go.
Do opposites attract?
Well this author just prove they do!
These two are explosive together!
Their chemistry is off the charts and sizzling hot.
Along with the sexiness that’s delivered in this wonderful book.
Is a story of a broken man who isn’t living life to the fullest.
And the sassy spirited submissive who’s about to change his life forever.
Their physical connection absolutely comes through.
But along with that the author does a fabulous job of bringing out their emotional connection as well.
Fans of Ms. Bene are in for such a treat with this book.
Wonderful characters you just can’t help not loving.
And a beautiful storyline.
Logan had met Cassandra at a Black Light Roulette event. They seemed a very good match. He wanted more with her. She was a model and had a hectic schedule which left no time. He found she was going to do a show at Runway so he was going to be there. They did meet up after her show and the fireworks were still there. Cassandra was reluctant to start a relationship because of her busy life and his as the head of a corporation. She couldn’t see how it would work. They gave it a try. Cassandra knew he needed to let loose and have fun. Logan has a disaster within his company and wasn’t handling it well. Logan blew it with Cassandra. He said some things he regretted while being very drunk. Can the damage be fixed? Is a HEA possible? Loved the book and ending.
New Jennifer Bene and new Black Light? Yes, please and thank you!
This is the story of Logan and Cassandra. They had a great night at Roulette at Black Light West, but hadn’t managed to get back together. By this point it had been 10 months, and they hadn’t been in any contact for 4 months. Then Logan finds out that Cassandra is in town, so he’s going to go get a date. Of course, it’s not that easy. Cassandra has her reasons as to why she won’t date him.
I really like Casandra. She is very friendly, and is a light to the world, if you ask me. She’s more than willing to be open to everyone and to the universe and to accept what the universe is going to give her. She likes to have a lot of fun. She also has goals, and she knows what she’s going to do, and she works really hard to get there. I would love to spend a lot of time with her, because I think that she’s just a light and joy to the world.
Then we have Logan. Hmm… I’m much more torn when it comes to him. I can see where there i a lot that he ha to offer, and he does tend to treat Cassandra well. Buuuuuttttt, and it’s a big butt, he has some issues that he’s masking and they get into his head. He doesn’t tend to treat other people that he has power over nicely. One of my favorite parts of this book is when Cassandra calls him out for treating someone poorly and makes him apologize.
Going back to Runway is always fun. This is a story of second chances with the one who got under your heart and you couldn’t let go of. Logan and Cassandra burned hot and fast at last Valentines Roulette……life has kept them apart since then it as long as people can keep from doing stupid things life might just work out.
Jennifer is one of my favorite authors and this book didn’t disappoint. This is definitely one of her softer stories and I love how strong the submissive character Cassandra was. It brought a playfulness to BDSM aspect of the story and allowed her to help Logan become a better man.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.

If your looking for a smoking hot romance then you need not look any further. This is the one you want to read. Jennifer Bene has done an amazing job with this book and I devoured it. This is the story of Logan who is a lonely broken man and he doesn’t even realize it. Cassandra is a strong woman and she is Logan’s path to redemption. I don’t want to really give anything away about this book except that I devoured it. Fell in love with these two characters and just could have spent days and day with them. Don’t miss this book. You are going to love it. This is an amazing addition to the Black Light Collection.
