Ignite by Lisa Carlisle is her third book in the Underground Encounters Series.
Lily has a secret she’s never shared with anyone. She keeps people at arms length because she doesn’t feel like she can have more. That she can trust anyone.
Lily’s only friend drags her to an underground club, Vamps, to celebrate her promotion at work. When Lily hears his voice, her whole life turns around.
Nico, aka Leggy Bones, lead singer of the Velvet Cocks, is a punk rocker by night, but a completely different person by day. Can Nico accept what Lily offers without trying for more? Can Lily enjoy spending time with him while keeping her distance?
Ms. Carlisle’s books are always worth the read, and her Underground Encounters Series is no different.

This is the third book in the Underground Encounters Series, a shifter romance. Lily and Nico’s story is emotional, and intriguing. Nico is a handsome computer geek by day, and a rock star by night. Lily is a feline shifter. The storyline is original and interesting. Amber Lee Connors and Kieran Flitton did a great job with the narration. I like Nico’s accent. Looking forward to listen to Burn, the next book in the Series. #AudiobooksUnleashed
Lily doesn’t go out much at night, but her best friend, Ally, convinces her to celebrate her promotion with a night at Vamps, an underground nightclub with great music. She’s glad she did, once she takes a glance at the gorgeous and sexy lead singer. Leggy (Nico) Bones’ claim to fame it that he’s an IT guy by day and a rock star by night with class and substance. Ally senses something different in him, not just his beautiful face but the poetic way he speaks. Of course, that British accent doesn’t hurt, either. Lily intrigues him, with her sexy dress, tawny hair and eyes. When he overhears Ally say that she’s there celebrating her new promotion, he buys her champagne. He really wants to know her name, but she’s reluctant to give him her real name and settles on Cara. Nico wants to know why she’s so secretive, but he wants to see her enough that he doesn’t question her. Finally, she lowers her defenses and lets him in. She tells him that she doesn’t want a relationship, she can only be a lover. She’s harboring a secret that has kept her from ever allowing a man completely into her life. For the time being, Nico is fine with it. But his heart wants more. He won’t accept being only friends with benefits. In her heart, Lily feels the same but she can’t let him know what happens to her each month. Nico is in agony, not having Lily in his life, and begs her to tell him her secret. It doesn’t go well and he flees, causing Lily to look deep inside and face her fears. This is a captivating and passionate story with beautifully drawn characters and authentic locations that lend a sense of charm. A truly original love story!
I loved this book. Lily and Nico were incredible characters that are easy to connect with and root for. The story line offers lots of steam, emotional turmoil, tension, drama and heart. My heart ached for Lily and Nico had me swooning. This couple’s chemistry was incendiary and their scenes were so hot!! This book features dual narrators, which I always appreciate. I thought the narrators did a terrific job in bringing this book to life and in helping the listener connect to the characters. All together, this is a excellent book and a solid addition to a very enjoyable PNR series.
I received an ARC copy of IGNITE in exchange for voluntarily leaving a review.
To celebrate her recent promotion Lily Everett gets dragged out by her friend to goth club Vamps to see rock band The Velvet Cocks. Less than impressed until she hears sexy front man Leggy Bones start to sing drawn in by his sultry vocals. Leggy also drawn to her later introduces himself to her, but Lily has a furry secret and while the attraction is mutual she tries to keep him at arm’s length. A game of cat and mouse ensues until they both finally give into the undeniable desire they have for each other, but Lisa is scared to tell Leggy, or real name Nico, the truth and tries pushing away numerous times. Will she finally let her walls down and give him the chance to know the real her? And will Nico be able to accept her for who she really is?
Lisa Carlisle does it again. She builds amazing chemistry between two characters all centered around Club Vamps. I love the unique twist that the shifter in this book is female for a refreshing change. Both main characters are well developed and the story is well-paced. The only downside for me was that towards the end of the book Lily gets a bit too wishy-washy about her feelings for my taste and pushes Nico away a time or two more than I felt was necessary drawing the story out a bit and making it feel a bit repetitive. Overall though that didn’t detract too much from the pacing and it was still a great read. The bedroom scenes were hot, hot, hot, and I loved the build-up and anticipation between the couple. This book will be sure to get your toes curling. It’s a great standalone read, or a perfect addition to the series.
This is the third book of this great series that has totally enthralled me, just hearing the name of the Underground Club Vamps, has me sweating because I know something smoldering is going to blossom there.
Lily really doesn’t want to be at Vamps, but her BFF finally got to her to go with her to celebrate her promotion. She really doesn’t like this scene and much less the punk rockers playing that crazy music, but when she hears his crooning voice all thought escapes her. What kind of name is that though, Leggy ugh! Leggy is hot to say the least and he seems to take an interest in her, but she gives him the brush off, biatchy as usual. But when she encounters him again outside of Vamps all rational thought goes out the window, but it can only be a passing thing because she holds a secret too intense to allow for anything else. If she can’t even stand it, how will he react, no better to be aloof if she can that is.
Computer Geek by day and Rock Star by night Nico (Leggy) is tired of one night stands with groupies, he wants something more meaningful, he wants what he can’t have….Lily She is his muse from the moment he first laid eyes on her at Vamps, but she won’t have anything permanent with him, why is incomprehensible, but he will give it his all to have her no matter what she is hiding, if he can withstand it that is.
This is what I’m talking about! Lisa Carlisle hit this one out of the park! I loved this! There was more emotion and character depth in this one. The story is a little more intricate as well.
First off I loved these two characters! That band! Great band name! Also love those character names! The double life of IT worker and rock and roller is so far apart but this author did it with style! Nico is such a doll! So kind, considerate and sexy I loved his character from the beginning.
Lily is in a class all her own. A shifter that has problems. I loved her background story. She became a strong woman/shifter by the end. She amazed me!
I listened to this on Audio. Kieran Flitton and Amber Lee Connors narrated this delightfully exciting story. They did a great job.
I look forward to Vamp!
IGNITE (Underground Encounters Book 3) by Lisa Carlisle is now my favorite of this series!
Vamps underground nightclub is the epicenter of each book in this paranormal romance series that are all easily read as standalone stories. Ms. Carlisle’s world of vampires, shifters, witches and gargoyles just keeps getting better and better.
Book 3 has Lily Everett celebrating a promotion with her friend at Vamps. Lily works hard at her job, works out hard at the gym and is an avid reader who has occasional sex with no commitments. Lily’s night out is interrupted by The Velvet Cocks lead singer and she is not thrilled until she hears him sing. He has a sensual voice that captivates her. Lily is interested, but very guarded and a loner because she has a furry secret that she never shares.
Nico Bedrosian aka Leggy Bones is a rock star by night and a computer geek by day. He is intrigued by the golden eyed beauty who does not seemed interested in him. He gets Lily to let him in enough to be a friend with benefits and those benefits are extremely hot!
Real feelings begin to grow on both sides, but Lily refuses to share why they can never be together. Nico wants to break down Lily’s walls and find out why she is so afraid to commit, but can he really handle the truth?
Lily and Nico are both well fleshed out characters that have many layers to their personalities that make them unique. You can feel for Lily having to grow up with her secret and being too afraid to share. Nico is just perfect with his rock star looks and voice, literary knowledge, geekiness and English accent. These two have explicit, steamy, smokin’ hot sex scenes throughout the story, but they are well placed and realistic to the building relationship.
Ms. Carlisle has built an intriguing paranormal world around Vamps and each book has increased my interest and love of the series. I cannot wait to see who will be introduced next!
