Blurb/Summary:
|
“You speak English flawlessly.” With a hint
of an Irish accent. Intriguing.
“Gracias. Languages are easy. Not like the physics.”
What a half-assed conversation to be having in the middle of the ocean
with a woman he’d just rescued from certain gang rape, being shot, and who
knew what else. A curvy, luscious female whose virginity he’d just taken in
front of four armed men. Talk about the best laid plans backfiring; Demon’s
carefully plotted plan to capture the man who abused him, Pedro Nunez aka The
Smiling Killer, was not off to a good start.
“What’s your name?”
“Jacinta Nunez.”
Jacinta claims to have lived her whole life in a cloistered convent.
Claims she’s an orphan. Claims she’s only lived in the outside world for
fifty-seven days. Yet she’s the mirror image of Pedro’s sister, Rosa. The
sister Pedro murdered fifty-seven days ago.
There are no coincidences in life. Not for a SEAL.
Is Jacinta Pedro’s ultimate revenge on Demon?

Review:
Absolutely
riveting from beginning to end. A steamy
romance with enough adventure to keep the reader on their toes. Demon Seed is an expertly written wild thrill
ride.
Jacinta,
raised in a cloister by nuns, is a rare combination of naievety and passion. With her sharp tongue and experience with a
variety of weapons, Jacinta may feel that she can handle herself in life beyond
the walls of the cloister. Never could
she have imagined the web of violence and deceit in which her journey to
discovering her family would cast her. The
book opens with an attempted gang rape orchestrated by her half brother and the
evil revelations of her family tree build from there with details of
kidnapping, murders, drug activity and a rivalry that makes the classic tale of
the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s seem like a playground argument. Why did her mother send her to live sheltered
and hidden away in the cloister? Would
she ever find the family and love of a family that she so desperately yearned
for? Why would her own brother want to
cause her harm?
Demon
is the epitome of an alpha male. When he
first encounters Jacinta as a damsel in distress, the last thing he expected
was to become engrossed in every detail of her; from the body he finds surprisingly
irresistible, to the life she has lived and her lineage. When the puzzle pieces began to come together
and he realizes exactly who she is, suspicion arises in him. The coincidence of their meeting on a beach
that he had been surveying, his original mission and her lineage colliding, and
the continuous peril that the couple constantly battles all keep Demon (and the
reader) wondering exactly who is the puppet master and what needs to be done to
ensure the success of his mission as well as Jacinta’s safety?
The
plot of this story is thick. The
sensuality and romance shared by Jacinta and Demon is as hot as the steamy
jungle nights they share. Although this
book is one of a series, it is written so well that you do not have to have
read the previous installments to understand and enjoy Demon Seed but once you
do, you will quickly find yourself scrambling to meet the entire rest of the
Hades Squad.
