Prepare to be burned (Gena Showalter) by this sexy and suspenseful enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance in the New York Times bestselling Demonica series.

Runa Wagner never meant to fall in love with the sexy stranger who seemed to know her every deepest desire. But she couldn't resist the unbelievable passion that burned between them, a passion that died when she discovered his betrayal and found herself forever changed. Now, determined to make Shade pay for the transformation that haunts her, Runa searches for him, only to be taken prisoner by his darkest enemy.

A Seminus Demon with a love-curse that threatens him with eternal torment, Shade hoped he'd seen the last of Runa and her irresistible charm. But when he wakes up in a dank dungeon chained next to an enraged and mysteriously powerful Runa, he realizes that her effect on him is more dangerous than ever.

As their captor casts a spell that bonds them as lifemates, Shade and Runa must fight for their lives and their hearts-or succumb to a madman's evil plans.

This is a great series. I liked Shade, and this is a nice continuation of the Demonica series. The series would have benefitted from narration continuity. The first book is so good, it would be hard to match. The change in narration took away from the overall story. This story is not as good as Eidelon and Tayla's, but it is still an A-/B+. The next story is great too. I highly recommend this series.

Really good. But narration change was a mistake.

Based on the earlier reviews, I began reading with some trepidation thinking that I might be wasting my time. I expected not to like the narration specifically. I suspect most of us like it when a series maintains the original narrator. This is the first series in which the change in narration didn't bother me at all. It appears that each installment of the series uses a different narrator which makes for it having its own personality in that regard. Familiar with Huber from the Lara Adrian series, I found she did a fair job distinguishing among characters.

That said, "Desire..." draws from many of the characters from Book 1 while incorporating new ones. Ione does a good job building from Book 1 with relationship to situations/experiences shallowly mentioned in the earlier edition. Also, the brothers Eidolon and Wraith play a central role in the plot of "Desire..." as well.

As opposed to "Pleasure... Book 1," this book infuses romantic tensions from more than just that of the main characters. The secondary characters of Gem (Tayla's sister) and Kye (Aegis commander) develop their relationship further from where Book 1 left off. Most notable is the romantic tension between the main characters of Shade and Runa that is central to the story is not that which we typically experience. The sexual tension/frustration has a psychological component of domination that can easily give most readers pause. I found myself cracking up at Runa's reactions/demands/expectations. For me, I found the romantic element of the story kind of refreshing.

Surprisingly Better than the 1st Installment

This book is amazing, and the narrator did a wonderful job! The story is great, the characters are awesome, and this author has got it going in! I hope she keeps writing. I wish the narrator read all of these books.

Love it!

This books keeps you wanting more. More about the brothers E,Shade and Wraith and more about the slightly dysfunctional hospital. Larissa does an good job of building several different stories with the story. You will find yourself just as interested in the secondary characters like Gem as you do with the main characters Runa and Shade. The female werewolf and demon pull you into their sensuous and emotional love affair. Another good listen in the Demonica series

Shade didn’t really do much for me in Pleasure Unbound so I was skeptical about how much I’d enjoy learning about his story. Desire Unchained didn’t blow me away like its predecessor did but it’s still a good read. We finally get to learn about the curse that kept coming up in the first book. The reveal was a tad anticlimactic in my opinion. For me, Gem and Kynan sort of stole the spotlight too. I think I enjoyed their interactions more than what was happening between Shade and Runa. Oh well!

The first half of the book is great. I’m particularly fond of Runa. She went from being a weak, love struck human to a don’t-mess-with-me werewolf. Shade didn’t expect his ex lover to come back for him with a vengeance (and claws!). I liked how every time the seminus demon would try to pull the same stunts he used to pull on the wolf; she’d push back and put him in his place. You don’t survive a werewolf attack without growing a backbone! I enjoyed seeing a character learn from her mistakes for a change. Runa was on the verge of falling into her old habits with Shade more than once only to realize what was happening and then she’d conscientiously take steps to change directions. I admired her knack for dealing with Shade and the way that she overcomes being a victim.

The big bad wasn’t much of a surprise, in fact, his name is mentioned several times in the blurb which I found a little disappointing. Larissa could have played up the mystery a bit more and the same thing goes for Shade’s curse. After finishing Pleasure Unbound, I was definitely curious to learn more about it but I found the truth to be somewhat of a let down to be honest. Ione’s characters and her Demonica world are so well-developed that I expected something similar with regards to these two elements. I just found that she gave the information up either too easily or simply didn’t elaborate enough on them. Maybe I’m just nitpicking but I’d expected more.

That’s not to say that there aren’t some tender moments between Shade and Runa because there are. In fact, I was on the verge of tears more than once which never happened while I was reading about Eidolon and Tayla. Gem and Kynan are amazing in this novel. With the way that things end between them in Desire Unchained, I’m really hoping that they get a book of their own, or a spin-off, or a novella, or… something! Because their story is just begging to be told!

Desire Unchained has many of the same elements that made me fall in love with the first book of this series but on a more subdued level. It’s good but it’s just not terrific. Although, many of my fellow reviewers seem to disagree with my point of view on this; which is fine, to each their own! Wraith’s story is up next and I hope that Larissa nails this book because I think it has the potential to be pure gold. Fingers crossed!

Good but, not as good as Pleasure Unbound

I was definitely more drawn to Eidolon and Tayla’s story but this was a good continuation to the series, and I’ll be reading the next one to see what else is in store for the brothers and their mates. Hopefully more is said about the relationship forming between Gem and Kynan in the 3rd book as well, because I was almost more interested in that than what was happening with the evil brother.
I was surprised to find redeeming qualities to Shade’s character early on as well. The author did well to make Shade more than just the mostly abrasive brother from the first book. And Runa definitely brought out what was good in Shade.
If you liked Pleasure Unbound (the 1st in the series) this is a good follow up!
Be warned about some BDSM themes in case your not expecting it.
The narrators voices for different characters could have been stronger, especially for Wraith, but overall wasn’t terrible.
