Another great story from Rina Kent. I received an ARC for an honest review. I love both the Team Zero and the Rhodes series. I don’t want to give too much away because the way the story is designed, you find out what is going on as you read. However I will say that Hades makes a much bigger appearance in this book than in any of the previous books and we find out a bit about his background.
We know from Crowed, Ghosted and even Ruin that the survivors of the Pit need to take Hades down in order to save the Assassins that are still there under his control and that are still addicted to Omega. This book gives some background information that will most likely set up future books for that eventual takedown.
It also is a great book in its own right. I have said it before, but I just love stories about sociopaths who have no emotions or empathy, but get involved with a girl in a story. The interactions are great Dominic and Camille are perfect for each other from the start. She knows what he is from the beginning and is fascinated by him. I can’t wait for the next book.
WOW!! Lured sucked me in from beginning to end! I love this series! This is the story of how Eloise’s parents meet . Dom and Camille story is so freaking good I love it ! The chemistry between these two was on fire I think they might be one of my favorite couples ! The sex scenes in this book was so sexy and steamy, I loved how possessive Dom was with Camille he is definitely one of my favorite alphas ! Lured definitely lured me in and I didn’t want it to end ! Holy hottness this story is dark and sooo sexy! This is a must read! I received an arc for my honest review
Ome of few books which I want to re read again and again. Dr Dom wants Camillie on the brink of madness. Camillie is worldly 20year old woman who can recognize a sociopath but is still attracted towards him. A one night stand brought her awarness that gheir chemistry is nkt just volatile its highly explosive.
Must Read whole Team Zero series, well written .

In Lured, Camille, a curious young law student, runs off to find her own adventure- a summer holiday in London to escape her overly protective parents and the secluded life she lives in the French countryside with them.
Now, as a waitress in a small cafe, she enjoys being a silent observer of the people who spend time there. She’s been obsessively watching a sexy, confident man, Dominic, a doctor and a bit older, who has all the makings of a manipulative sociopath and she couldn’t be more fascinated by him. His friends and colleagues hang on his every word while he gets them to do the craziest things with just a mere suggestion without them even realizing what has happened. Camille can’t stop watching him make his moves.
When he turns his intense attention in her direction, of course she can’t resist a bargain with the Devil in disguise with what she assumes will be just another one nite stand. What else could it be with a man like him- bossy, a total alpha man who gets whatever he wants. But, as the summer progresses, so does their strange sexual attraction. I myself couldn’t look away either as Dominic and Camille play their cat and mouse, will he or won’t she sexual game. It was mindblowing, dark and you wonder what his intentions are towards this curious young woman… will curiosity kill the cat, the mouse?

This book was gripping, well written & the chemistry between the characters sizzled throughout this wonderful read.
Well done Rina. I look forward to more!
Lured then caught hook, line, and sinker. I read this book in two nights only see to sleep. I am amazed at how many players are involved in Team Zero and how many generations are covered.
Power is what this book is all about. Cam has the power to save Dom, Dom has the power to destroy Cam, and Hades has the power to end them both.
This is a classic girl sees boy, is infatuated with him, but doesn’t think anything will happen between them. Little does girl know boy sees her and us just as infatuated with her. Dom is just as his name implies Dominating. Dom is manipulative and seems a little shady in the beginning. He could sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman dressed in all white. Cam is no meek and mild submissive, she is strong in her own right. Her upbringing taught her to be strong. She sees right through Dom’s BS, and can see the man he is hiding from the world.
As you read this story you start to figure out who Cam and Dom are and what role they play in Team Zero, love the intrigue of not knowing immediately how they are connected. I love how we are getting characters backstories from the older generation.
Can’t wait for more of this series. I want to see Hades fall.
I very, very much liked this deliciously mesmerizing read.
Oddly enough, although I personally didn’t find it all that dark (except for Hades POVs), I did find it to be alluring, enthralling & captured my focus & attention in the best of ways.
Camille (h) seemed a tad too worldly for a 20 year old that had until her summer runaway ‘adventure’ to London had spent virtually all her days on an isolated French mansion but not so much it tainted her character for me. She also seemed to fling herself into a potentially lethal one night stand with a man she openly admitted & recognized WAS dangerous & a sociopath, but again somehow that didn’t smack of TSTL to me the way the author wrote Camille’s character.
Dominic (anti-H) was a huge, looming & unsettling presence throughout the entire book. The reader is never sure if he is ‘luring’ Camille into a fatal trap, is playing with her body (& heart) or maybe, just maybe, truly interested in HER.
But for me the true magic of this book was the wonderful & deft way the author made Dominic & his relationship with Camille leap off the pages for me. At times I almost felt as if I were a 3rd party watching, listening to them, seeing how increasingly dominant & obsessed Dominic was becoming over his ‘baby girl’ (note: other than this term of endearment there is NO DD/lg in this story), & his intensity fairly glowed from the pages of the story.
In contrast, Camille, while never appearing to be actually afraid for her physical safety, was very worried for the safety of her heart & emotions. She played cool & calm when interacting with Dominic many times when internally she was tenterhooks about HIS feelings for her (if he had any), how he viewed their relationship, what she’d do when the summer ended: go home to her parents & school? Or? What did Dominic want? Anything with her?
The reader is effortlessly swept along with Dominic & Camille (all told via Camille’s POV), at first they were mildly interesting to me, then intriguing & then I HAD to know what came next. How if was going to end. What Dominic’s end game was.
If you want a superb & tantalizing story that piques your interest & curiosity, that has sizzling moments, intensity & excellent character development, I highly recommend this book.
Damn, Dom and Cam are H-O-T! I always say if this was real life we would run for the hills but there is something about that dominance that is such a turn on. I’m excited to read the rest of the series.
I read all the wonderful reviews for this book and decided to check out this new to me author. The readers have never let me down yet, and this was one fascinating book! I will be checking out more of Rina Kent’s books, going now to the next in this series, Crowed.
The unlikely relationship between the young French girl Camille, over in England for summer holiday, and the more mature Dominic, a research doctor, sociopath (proclaimed by Camille) is interesting and just seems to work. The chemistry is there, and you can feel it in the pages as you read. I loved the progression, from one night stand, to two night, to three, to whatever it became. His darkness was attracted to her light and she was like a moth attracted to him. Their feelings were real and they both let their guards down around each other. The steamy scenes between these two were HOT!
But Dominic is in with a bad crowd. Hades is watching, looking for a weak spot. And now he has found Dominic’s. What will he do now? Get this twisty book that won’t let you put it down until you reach the end!
If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would. I thoroughly enjoyed this hot twisted dark romance. I was riveted to the story and these characters. The suspense killed me, I hated to put the book down to go watch my sons’ ballgame. The chemistry between Cam and Dom was scorching hot and the sex scenes were sizzling too. Love me a possessive dominant alpha!! Can’t wait to read more!
A new author to me, and it won’t stay that way. This book was dark and delicious. I absolutely loved it, and I look forward to reading more of the series.

This book is an intense, emotional and SEXY storyline that grabs you right from the start keeping you engrossed and on edge throughout the whole book!
Completely sensuous, wrought with emotion, and so well written that I absolutely could not put it down!
This steamy romance is a roller coaster ride that will make you hot, and even make you shed a few tears. I could not be happier with how everything played out.

This is by far my favorite book of the series so far!! Dominic is definitely my favorite male character of the series, such a dominating force!! Sooo loving this entire series!!
Wow… She’s done it again. Couldn’t put the book down. Back to the beginning with Camille & Dominic. Their story is hot with some dark humor but I love it none the less!
Dominick and Camille’s relationship is dark but they found true love. Who is Hades and why is he so evil? This was a great intro to Team Zero and how they came into existence. I have read Team Zero Ghost and wondered who is Hades I hope one of the books tell why he is evil. What I didn’t like was that Lured does not tell how Dom and Camille die just that Crow, one of Team Zero is the next story with their daughter Eloise. Otherwise is was a good read.

I give it 4.5
This is Camille and Dominic’s (who is referred as Doc in the other series) story. This is a longer and sexier version of Charmed. Camille is a barista and she is intrigued by Dominic and the way he can manipulate his friends. Dominic is fascinated with her because she doesn’t fall for his ways. This is an introduction into how Team Zero came about. You also get more of a glimpse into Hades the mastermind behind everything. I have enjoyed reading this series so far and look forward to reading more.

The titled matches how I feel about this book and it’s characters starting from page one till the last. Chemistry and the twists and turns lured me with every turn of the pages. WOW can’t wait for the next one this was an amazing start.

This is wonderfully written dark romance that had me intrigued throughout the book. Dominic and Camille have amazing chemistry together but that doesn’t mean she is going to just lie down and be quiet. There are elements of BDSM in this story Dom/sub relationship. Even though Camille is sweet and innocent she refuses to just submit to anyone and is only prepared to do so on her terms. If you enjoy dark romances then get this book, I for one was not disappointed!

This is the 3rd book I’ve read written by Rina Kent; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I will definitely be reading more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.
