... I was intrigued by this story from the very beginning. Luca
stole my heart with his insecurities and doubts. He was a perfect example of why people shouldn’t judge others based on their looks. As for Chandra, I found her very likeable and thought she was very accepting especially once she learned about Luca and his life. They made a lovely pair as both taught each other about love, trust, and acceptance.

I really enjoyed the author’s unique approach. This wasn’t an ordinary boy-meets-girl story as it featured a creature that some might find hard to love, yet the author was able to humanize the beast in the story and make me the reader, fall for him as well. I found the author’s use of an imperfect hero refreshing and interesting.
This was a very touching love story that I would definitely recommend to those looking for something a bit different.
Excerpt
He noticed her head tilting toward the direction of his voice, and his brows arched as she lifted out of the water enough to tease him before going back down. “Are you flirting with me?”
“Enticing you to come and join me,” she replied as she rolled in the water, bringing her front into view. “Is it working?”
The ripples in the water vibrated against her as he landed. His hands moved to her waist, drawing her to him. “You tell me,” he breathed as he brought his mouth down to hers.
Her arms lifted around his neck, his soft fur rubbing against her nakedness.
Luca’s tongue invaded her mouth, kissing her deeply as his hands roamed her body. Luca groaned as he waded to a shallow spot, sat down and brought her onto his lap, feeling her body tremble as her bottom touched his hard cock. She turned on his lap to straddle him, moaning as his touch became more aggressive, his hands running up her sides, the light touch of his claws making her tremble again. Luca’s lips parted, panting with lust for her.

“Luca,” she whispered.
His mouth moved to her neck, leaving nips in its wake. Her hands moved up his shoulders to his head and into his hair, her moan causing his thick cock to twitch as he rubbed it against her clit. Luca groaned loudly when her fingers grazed the base of his horns at the top of his head. “Don’t,” he rasped.
“Why?” She breathed heavily.
“It’s a pleasure point.” Moaning as she wrapped her fingers around them, Luca lifted his mouth back to hers. Thrusting his tongue in roughly, he moved his hand to her breast, and her body shook with uncontrollable pleasure.
“Oh God, Luca,” she gasped.
Have a great Sunday and Happy Reading!!
