Coming from a horrible past, Alexis has spent many years learning to live again. She has a few select friends that she lets in. She is always guarded and careful not to let many close to her. And she guards her body, she knows if anyone sees the scars left behind they will never be able to love her. Her past left her feeling like a shell of a person, not the beautiful woman she really is.But everything begins to change when she opens up her new clinic. An amazing Italian God walks in before the clinic is open and needs someone to look at his back. Though Alexis tries to have him come back when the clinic is open, he is persistent. She finally agrees to provide the initial consultation for him but insists he return in a week to meet with her partner for a follow-up. But the second she starts to examine him and she is forced to touch his skin, something inside her changes. There is something about him… But she is going on vacation and a man in her life is not what she needs. She knows that he will run the second he sees any glimmer of her past.When she and her best friend arrive at their vacation destination, she sees him and panics. She never told him where she was going… and why is he there? It was almost too much for her to handle.This book captured me instantly. I wanted to know what was so horrible in her past that she was afraid to even look at this guy, she was afraid to feel any real emotions for him… This book is a beautiful story about letting go of the past and learning to open your heart and learning that not everyone is a bad person. Everyone has demons in their past, but it is learning to accept and deal with them that is the hardest part in creating a future.I fell in love with this book. My heart broke for both Alexis and for Lucca. But had such sad tales. But the way they recovered from them left me with a smile and a warm feeling in my heart. I wanted to reach out and hug Alexis so many time while reading this book. You want to talk about a hard life… the next time I think something has gone terribly wrong in my own little world, I will not complain, the things this she endured were just heart-wrenching. Lucca dealt with dark past it seems a little better, but it was still so sad all the same.When I started reading this, I was afraid I was going to have a hard time with it, not because of the subject matter, but more because of the locations in the book. But as was reading, I was drawn more and more into the scenery in my mind and I fell in love with the places and the people I pictured. With that said, I think for S.J. Molloy to paint such vivid pictures in her book with words is an amazing talent.I know I talked a lot about the tragedies that these two characters have had to deal with from their past, but the passion between the two of them is just amazing. One look, one touch and it send the hot right over the edge. I loved the chemistry between the two of them!I am looking forward to reading more in this series by S.J. Molloy! It was amazing!**I received a complimentary copy of Lussuria in exchange for an honest review
