By TT reviewer Hunter McKenna
Dark is a Wolfen female, who runs to Lucavarious (Luca), a Vampesi, to fulfill a promise from her dying parents. A marriage contract has been drawn up between the two factions. Someone is out to stop the marriage and when that fails, Dark becomes the target. Dark is getting to know her husband, helping her people, and learning about the Vampesi people.
Luca is 400 years old and Dark is twenty-something. It is interesting to watch his patience with her. Dark, being Wolfen, naturally is in heat. Poor Luca. He gets bruises all over trying to keep up with her in bed, but he's not complaining. Her comment is that Luca is the best in that department, so why wouldn't she go back for more.
LUCAVARIOUS is a wonderful story. I started reading it late the first night and was up until 5am, when my eyes started getting blurry, and I could no longer see the screen. I didn't want it put it down. I hope there are men out there with Luca's charisma and humor. There are two lines of Luca's that I love, one being "Your walking vibrator with fangs awaits your every command, Lady", and the second is... Women were strange creatures and better dealt with on a full stomach, with a clear head, and an owner's manual to figure them out. I think I will put these lines in big bold font on my wall. They made me smile everytime I read them.
Ms Burke's one liners and witty segments are priceless. The secondary character of Luca's cousin, Omnubius, has you shaking your head at his antics. I look forward to when we get to see more of cousin Omnubius and BB.
Anyone who likes Vampires, Wolves, or just plain romance should get LUCAVARIOUS, you won't be disappointed. I'm looking ahead to reading more by this talented author. LUCAVARIOUS is a keeper.

I just loved Lucavarious!He was very unique amongst his kind and was often tender, caring and funny, yet frightening in his concern and protectiveness of Dark. Very steamy!!A keeper and I will be reading anything else by S. Burke.

I have been reading books on erotica for about two years. I did not care for this book, I felt it could have been written better. This book is about a woman who is a wolfen and a man who
is a vampire. The two are to be joined because of a contract. They get together and have mind blowing sex( if you know what I mean)). They also have a woman name BB in the book, BB stands for bloodbank. Original right? The book has some twist that could hold your interest. The book has good and evil and two kinds of vampires. I do not think this book is well written like Lora Leighs wolf breeds.
