At this point, the characters are starting to blur together a bit in my mind, which is the main reason I&#8217;m going three stars. The bad-ass heroes and heroines need a bit more variance, and I wasn&#8217;t sure I entirely bought into Lore&#8217;s back story.<\/p>\n<p>Lore is hired to kill someone that Ides must protect in order to earn her wings into heaven. She would kill Lore to stop him except &#8212; it turns out she has to protect Lore too. Lore is an assassin, but he&#8217;s not in it for the money &#8212; he&#8217;s in it for his sister&#8217;s freedom, which makes it tough to convince him to back off.<\/p>\n<p>A one-off note: The titles for this series are seriously uninspiring. I guess they hold true, but they are so completely interchangeable. This is often a problem in romance, but not usually as much of a problem in paranormal romance. <\/p>\n<p>I do continue to recommend this story to adult paranormal\/urban fantasy fans.<\/p>\n<p>Rating: 3\/5<\/p>\n<p>Title: Ecstasy Unveiled<br \/>\nAuthor: Larissa Ione<br \/>\nPublished February 1st 2010 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This continues to be a fast-paced, enjoyable series full of intriguing world building, moral gray areas, and lots of steamy content.
