Review: Shadow of Temptation (Asylums for Magical Threats #2.5) by Jessie Donovan

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

An undercover agent about to crack…

Two years of living a double-life has taken a toll on Sabrina Ono, but if she plays her cards right, her assignment should be finished within the week. However, just as she starts planning her final moves, a man she once called friend shows up wanting revenge.

A man with an unusual power…

Jorge Salazar is a Shadow-Shifter. After being forced to work for a sociopath for nine months, he strikes a deal to escape, but there’s a price for his freedom—he must capture the leader of a Feiru terrorist group and turn him in. Unfortunately, the only person who can help him succeed is the woman who not only betrayed his biggest secret, but also broke his heart.

As the pair work against the clock to bring down the terrorist group and save another group of innocents from dying, an unexpected attraction builds. Will Sabrina and Jorge’s secrets be too much to overcome, or will their feelings be able to heal past wrongs? 

My Review:

After years of living a double life, Sabrina is close to finishing her assignment but then the man she once betrayed returns and she will have work with him to bring down the terrorists and save innocent lives in this thrilling paranormal romance.

With a fast pace and smooth flowing plot, this story keep readers hovering on the edge of anticipation with lots of suspense, excitement and passion. Jorge is sent to take down the terrorists and he has no problems exacting his revenge against the woman who betrayed him…right?  The reader can’t help but get caught up in all the sparks flying around Sabrina and Jorge as they come to realize that no matter what their heads think, their attraction to each other burns hot and their desire will not be denied. 

The well written scenes and details bring the story and the strong compelling characters to life with and the well orchestrated action and suspense draw the reader in and ensure that the reader can’t put the book down until they have read every last word. Spine tingling excitement builds throughout the story as the two try to overcome their issues and make plans to bring down the enemy all while dodging bad guys with powerful abilities and both Jorge and Sabrina have secrets to spice things up even more.

The fascinating and complex world has lots of interesting elements, lots of enemies and captivating heroes and heroines with intriguing abilities which all works together to ensure that the reader doesn’t have a chance to get bored. I was completely caught up in this story from the beginning and I just wish I didn’t have to wait so long to read the next one.

About Jessie Donovan:

Jessie Donovan wrote her first story at age five, and after discovering the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey in junior high, realized that people actually wanted to read stories like those floating around inside her head. From there on out, she was determined to tap into her over-active imagination and write a book someday.

After living abroad for five years and earning degrees in Japanese, Anthropology, and Secondary Education, she buckled down and finally wrote her first full-length book. While that story will never see the light of day, it laid the world-building groundwork of what would become her debut paranormal romance, Blaze of Secrets.

Jessie loves to interact with readers. When not reading or traipsing around some foreign country on a shoestring, she can often be found on Facebook and Twitter.
