An erotic paranormal romance…
Sexy vampire, Luca Macquarie doesn’t do love; especially not with humans. Yet, ever since he rescued Samantha Irving, he can’t deny the enigmatic attraction he’s developed for the alluring mortal woman. Concerned for her safety, he’s determined to bring Samantha back to her coven. His mission is to go find the novice witch and bring her home, nothing more, nothing … nothing more, nothing less; falling for her is not supposed to be part of the plan.
Samantha doesn’t want to be a witch, yet that’s exactly what she is. After failing to elicit her magic, she escapes to the mountains in an attempt to resume a semblance of her previous human life. When an arsonist torches her cabin, Samantha’s worst fears are realized. Aware that her life is on the line, she reluctantly agrees to return to New Orleans with Luca.
In the Big Easy, Samantha and Luca embark on a spellbinding journey, searching for a mystical amulet that promises to release her obligation from an ancient, lethal vampire who’s been threatening her life. With cryptic clues and clandestine allies, will Luca and Samantha destroy the dangerous amulet before others acquire it, setting forth a chain of catastrophic consequences? And will Luca give into his erotic desire for the witch who magically captures heart?

Luca is one hot sexy vamp!!! I love this vamp he’s a predator all the way and Samantha is one lucky little witch!!! I love The immortals of new Orleans!!! Kym grosso’s immortals are some of the hottest immortals their is. I’m in love with just about every character from the very hot Luca to kade to tristan the hot as hell wolf to the mysterious leopold!!!! Great storylines and lots of hot sweaty sex,it doesn’t get any better!!!! Pull up a fan and a cold drink your gonna need it!!!!
I loved this book even more than book 1 in the series. The cold-hearted vampire and his little witch that warm him up? What’s not to love? This book is beyond sexy. BEYOND. There’s so much heat between Luca and Samantha on the page that you’ll swear you see steam rising from your ereader. Not just that though, they have a deep connection from the start and seem to bring out the best in one another. She lightens his burders. He strengthens her. They have to fight some pretty devious witches and vampires to be together and it is a roller coaster ride of emotion but it’s a ride you won’t want to get off even when it’s over. I am officially hooked on Kym Grosso’s dark and sexy Immortals of New Orleans.
OMG! What a wonderful pairing! A vampire & a witch!!! Oh my, steamy, steamy, HOT!!! Love these books! This is the second book in the “Immortals of New Orleans” series & I can’t wait to read more. Really enjoying Kym Grosso’s work.
In the second Immortals in New Orleans novel, vampire Luca Macquarie has been kidnapped, chained with silver, and drained of blood. After Kade, Luca’s sire and best friend, saves his life, Luca is determined to fight the people responsible for nearly killing him. To do so, he has to track down a runaway witch.
Samantha wants nothing more than to return to her normal human life. In the previous book, she was kidnapped and horribly abused. The result of that abuse has given her special powers over the elements, which has basically transformed her into a witch. She shuns her new abilities, but when her life is threatened again, she has no choice but to trust Luca and learn to fight back.
I liked the book for the most, and I definitely connected better with Luca and Samantha than I did with the couple from the first book. Luca and Samantha are well-rounded characters with great chemistry. After a painful tragedy in Luca’s past, he’s locked his heart in a cage of ice, but Samantha’s spunk, strength, and vulnerability quickly thawed the ice. I love seeing cold, stoic men fall to their knees!
The world building is great. I totally like that vampires, witches, and werewolves are known to the world at large and live side-by-side with humans in relative peace, but they’re certainly having trouble with each other. Since Luca is a vampire and Samantha is a witch, the book focused more on the paranormal aspect of life and very little on the humans, which was nice.
The story is a little repetitive, however, with head hopping and more telling than showing. The sex scenes are erotic and very entertaining. Kade, Sydney, Tristan, and other characters from book 1 return, and it was nice seeing those characters again.
3.5 Stars
This book follows Luca and Samantha. Luca is a cold, honorable, strong vampire who is determined to never fall in love. Samantha is a recently turned witch who has a surprising ability to bounce back when beaten down.
Again, the author doesn’t disappoint. Luca’s Magic Embrace, though the title sounds like something off a children’s book, keeps you engaged the whole way. Samantha is stubborn and a little in denial, but she’s surprisingly strong. She’s an average woman dumped into a nightmare situation. She just wants her life back. She feels real. Luca, like Samantha, is completely in denial, albeit of something entirely different.
The tone of this book is different than Kade’s Dark Embrace and there isn’t the same attitude. Still, the mystery and the adventure in the book is there, the whodunit. Someone is after Luca and Samantha and they need to figure out who and why. There will be twists and at times my heart was in my throat, worried for the characters.
And like with Kade’s Dark Embrace, I found myself itching for the next book.
Awesome series
I love Kym Grosso!!!
