Luca's Magic Embrace by Kym Grosso
3.0

3.5 stars

I rated the first book 3 and found this one a little more enjoyable. Following on from book one, it tells of Luca, a vampire, and Samantha, a made witch. Witches are usually born as such, but Samantha was taken captive by a particularly nasty piece of work, and his magic was infused into Samantha. She has no idea how to control it. Luca had an attraction to Samantha when he saved her from said nasty piece of work. After being left for dead, and rescued by Kade and Sydney(from book one)Luca sets off to find Samantha and bring her back to New Orleans. After a fire, a meeting with Kade's maker, Leopold, and the discovery that Samantha needs to find something that could cause disaster for both vampires and werewolves alike, Samantha and Luca set off to find the amulet and each other.

the story itself was good, and it flowed well, with everything making sense. it was just that up to halfway through, it is raw, and gritty. then after they had sex, it gets all lovely and floaty, the dialogue between Samantha and Luca does, and it was a bit off putting.

while reading these books in order would help, it isn't really necessary, as much is explained about Kade and Sydney, and their relationship, along with Luca's part in their past.

a single multi partner scene and some violence.

there are more books in this series, but I don't know if I will buy them.
