This is a book that makes you think and feel so much pain as well as undying love. A curse created out of hurt and pain inflicted by the greed of many, lasting multiple generations, and the only way to escape it is through an act of love so powerful it means putting ones own life on the line.
4 out of 5 stars
After being cursed for over 300 years , Caleb and his family have been keeping the secret . Until the day he sees Lissette at the bar he owns . He feels this pull to her because she is the other part of his soul . What they don’t know is that she can be the salvation for him or the death of them .
The characters in this story are well written , Lissette is a strong woman who doesn’t take anything from anyone . She also comes from a long line of women that have an insight . She can kick butt and will do anything to protect the ones she loves . Caleb is an alpha , oh so sexy and he knows what he wants and will go and get it . He is also caring and will do anything for those he cares about . I liked these characters as individuals but as a couple they were hot . For every good guy we also have the bad guy . Terrell well he was just a complete idiot and stalker . He was oh so creepy. Now Camille well she is just clueless and kind of the comic relief in the story . I picture her as a blonde for some reason . Then like all good romance stories we have the family that likes to interfere and boy do they ever .
I went into this story not knowing what was going to happen . This book took me by surprise I really got into it . The characters are well written and you start to love them . The author takes us on an adventure through New Orleans and the bayou . There is action , intrigue and oh so much romance . This is a book you can get lost in for an afternoon . So if you want a good read for you summer beach read check it out .
Centuries ago the deNuit family was cursed. Only the males suffered the consequences of this curse, but the family itself had a curse in itself. The woman were either killed, committed suicide, or were institutionalized.
When Caleb and Lissette meet sparks ignite. But there are secrets that Caleb keeps close to his chest for fear it will scare Lissette off. There’s also the little fact that it’s Lissette’s ancestors who cursed the deNuit family and a stalker who has it in his head that if he can’t have Lissette, nobody can.
Will these two be able to overcome a curse that placed upon Caleb’s family out of hate? Will Caleb and his family ever have complete control over the beast?
I actually enjoyed this story. I liked the fact that these two families overcame the hate and proved that maybe with love any curse can be controlled.
Caleb and Lissette were destined to meet and unwittingly play a very important role for their respective families. I loved their story. The history of their families is intriguing.
What can a person say about a book that has great characters, a curse, curser (the person/family who did the cursing) the cursee (person/family who had the curse put on them). love, drama, mystery and more. I loved that the book started out with the story behind why the deNuit family is the way they are because of a curse put on them. It was never boring and kept me excited for the next page. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m in the mood to read this again. I might have missed something the first time thru and I don’t want that.
The book started out telling you the why and the background so you as a reader are not lost once you get into the story. I really enjoyed this book the characters Caleb and Lissitte were both strong people. There was love, drama, mystery, stalking all good components in a book. Best of all no cliff hanger! If you enjoy short reads then this is a great book for you.
I would recommend this book if you like to read sweet and romantic stories, it has been very well written with fantastic characters and great detail. The characters tend to be snarky and so full of life and I love it, just goes to show that even a beast can be loved
I havent read a regular pnr in awhile. This was a great refresher and it was different and not more of the same which is why I kinda stopped reading the typical pnr shifter books. It wasnt overly long or drawn out but there was enough to keep me interested. Enjoyable! Ohhh on top of it all New Orleans which I love reading about.
Crimes of generations past leave burdens carried on.
I find myself horrified. Difficult to look beyond the scope of history beginning this tale. Beyond the evil of it’s origin there is more. A heated passion and love grow. I heard before love forgives & heals all wounds.
Caleb’s family has kept a secret for centuries. A curse with no cure. Lissette’s family is responsible for the curse. They meet one night and can’t keep their minds off each other. Caleb’s never felt this way and neither has Lissette. Is fate at play or something else?
this book was really good! he has a family secret that could be reveled . she has her own secrets that might come out. there is evil out there that could destroy them both. read to find out what happens.
A wonderful paranormal shifter romance. I enjoyed the characters and how they challenged each other. I would’ve loved to see a little more depth with the characters and their relationship but other than that I loved it.
