The author so beautifully created a tantalising love triangle focussing on two gorgeous men who had the ability to charm and captivate both Luz and me, the reader. The romance, oh where do I start with the romance? Masquerade contained the kind of romance that makes your heart beat faster and your knees tremble. I understood her mixed feelings because I had them too! The Gemini mystery was a fantastic twist and added even more confusion for Luz, so alike yet so different. Luz’s curiosity about the gypsies was infectious, I wanted to know more and could certainly see why Luz found them so intriguing and in a way, magical. The whole ‘we want each other but can’t have each other because of who we are’ thing gave the storyline an exciting edge. One of the first things to pop in my head as I read about Luz and Leandro’s attraction was Romeo and Juliet. As I progressed through the book I found that even the sex scenes were written in a creative way. There was a poetic quality to the way she described the sights and sounds of Luz’s surroundings and it pulled me in completely. The warmth of Spain shone through the author’s words right from the beginning.

The blurb really intrigued me with its promises of romance and family secrets, I couldn’t wait to get started! I would just like to point out that this is the second book in the Andalucian Nights Trilogy but in my opinion it worked well as a standalone novel – I didn’t feel as though I missed out on anything by reading this first. Reserved yet darkly compelling, he is totally different to Leandro but almost the gypsy s double.īoth men stir unfamiliar and exciting feelings in Luz, although mystery and danger surround them in ways she has still to discover.”įirstly I’d like to thank Midas PR for sending me this book to read and share my honest opinion.
