Rogue's Passion is the second book in Laurie London's fantabulously unique Iron Portal series and is not a starting point. In order to understand the significance of the hostility between the Cascadians and the Pacificans, you really need to read the first book, Assassin's Touch. Rogue's Passion was a great next step in the series and tells the story of Cascadian and Iron Guild assassin, Asher, and Pacifican Healer-Talent, Olivia.Asher is looking for a man known as The Fixer as he is believed to have been responsible for the death of Asher's friend and fellow Iron Guild assassin. Olivia is on the run from the Pacifican Army because she is an unregistered Talent. When a bomb goes off outside Olivia's place of employment and Asher discovers that she is able to heal people, it turns her already unsteady life upside down.Laurie London's Iron Portal series is unlike anything else I've read which is great when you read as much as I do. It isn't often that I come across a really unique book and/or series so when I do I want to shout its praises to the world. If you are tired of the same old same old and want something different, I highly suggest giving this series a shot. The world building is intriguing, the heroes are beyond frakkin hot, the heroines are kick ass in their own right, and the smexiness abounds.After learning of Oliva's brother and his possible connection to Asher's past, I can't wait to see where the Iron Portal series goes next. The possibilities are endless and I'm really looking forward to Vince's book, Warrior's Heart.*eARC PROVIDED BY ASPENDAWN BOOKS VIA NETGALLEY*
