REVIEW: SEARING PASSION is the sixth instalment in EC Land’s contemporary, adult DELUCA CRIME FAMILY erotic Mafia romance series. This is thirty-six year old Tizio Manolo, and twenty-two year old, university student Karlee MacNamara’s story line. SEARING PASSION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Tizio and Karlee) SEARING PASSION follows in the wake of potential threats against our story line heroine. Tizio’s best friend Fallon MacNamara is currently in prison, and needs to have his sister Karlee protected but Fallon refuses to reveal the who, what or why, and in this Tizio is going in blind to protect the woman with whom he will fall in love. Karlee MacNamara doesn’t want a babysitter or a protector but or heroine has been targeted, and the threats are coming from all sides. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Karlee and Tizio, and the potential fall-out as Karlee refuses to believe she is the target of a more powerful group.
The world building focuses on the possiblity of a human trafficking ring on campus, and the people involved . Everyone becomes suspect to Tizio Manolo but Karlee refuses to accept the people Tizio accuses of possible involvement.
The relationship between Karlee and Tizio begins as an assignment but Karlee continues to defy our story line hero. No matter who is guarding our heroine, she continues to make her escape into all sorts of trouble. Tizio knows his attraction to Karlee will only get him in trouble but the hearts wants something it cannot have. The $ex scenes are intimate and erotic- Tizio likes to talk dirty, and discipline with spanking.
The secondary and supporting characters include most of the previous story line couples, as well as several additional security specialists working with Tizio. We are introduced to Karlee’s brother Fallon, and her friends Laura and Hazard. The requisite evil has many faces.
SEARING PASSION is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic, captivating and engaging; the romance is seductive ; the characters are determined and driven.
