Three decades after the events of REAPER, the world is a different place. The secret is out. The existence of demons, vampires, shapeshifters, and angels has been revealed, and humans are struggling to adapt. Out of the chaos, The Aegis has risen to global power on the promise of containing or exterminating all underworlders, even if that means ushering in the End of Days.
Standing in their way is the next generation of warriors, the children of demons and angels and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
See how they become legends in their own right.
Legacy of Desire
Scotland, daughter of the Horseman of the Apocalypse known as War and a formidable warrior in her own right, has dedicated her life to fighting evil with her two demon best friends, Mace and Blade. Their extraordinary bond and uncanny ability to operate in perfect unison has made them legends as special operators with the Demonic Activity Response Team.
Afraid of ruining a good thing, the three teammates swore a pact to protect their friendship by declaring romantic involvement off-limits. But a recent near-tragedy changed things, and it’s getting harder for Mace and Blade to ignore their long suppressed feelings for Scotty. Especially after she announced her intention of losing her virginity and enlisted their help to find the right guy for the task.
So when a routine assignment goes wrong, landing one teammate in the hospital and the other in Scotty’s arms, the fallout puts their team, their reputations, and complete innocents, at risk. Scotty will need to make a choice, but how can she possibly decide between two males she loves equally? All the while, an enemy lurks in the shadows, poised to strike, and an angel finds himself at a crossroads that will test his faith and, perhaps, determine the very future of Heaven and all mankind.
We were all disappointed when we had to wait for this book. Of course, we understood sometimes life sticks its nose into book business. The good news is that it was well worth the wait. I so loved it. I always enjoy the books I read by Ione, but this one is a five-star romance for me. I don't give them out lightly. I have only given out less than 50 in over 40+ years of reading. Happily, I've given her two five-star reviews. The other one was for Reaper. I loved that one.
You'll enjoy how she handles the relationship between Mace, Blade and Scotty. The three of them have a very tight friendship and the also love each other. That they have trouble dealing with. Sure, they love each other as family, but they also love each other as want to be mates. That one is a bit harder to deal with.
The author handles it really well. She intertwines their stories and has you voting for both the guys to come out on top. Both Blade and Mace are very likeable heroes. You don't want to see either of them hurt. I know I wanted them both to get the girl. Sadly, for them there is only one girl.
While dealing with their inner turmoil they also have demons to kill and people to save. Not easy to do with emotions are running wild.
This is a great story that will leave you wanting more and wishing that the next book would be out already. I hate that I'll have to wait a bit for it but I'm sure it will be worth the wait. I read some of it at the end of this book and was like, wait, I have to wait for this? Then I dropped to my knees (not happening because I wouldn't be able to get up again) and screamed out NO!
If this isn't an author that you've read before make sure to go back to the beginning and start with the very first book that started it all. I promise it's worth it.
