Wild Hyacinth was such an amazing read for me. I started it mid-morning and finished it by dinner time. Initially we meet Asher (hot name by the way) who is an incubus. He is living a life that he wishes on no other human. He was the lucky twin, or unlucky to be cursed with this. At a time in his life when he should of been thinking of graduating high school, moving on to college, enjoying his high school sweetheart, he can't as he has sucked the life right out of her, Literally. Move ahead several years and he has managed to control his needs to about every six months, but can never have a meaningful relationship, never more than a one night stand.Next we meet Aria, bold and unable to censor her thoughts before they come tumbling out of her mouth. The physical description leaves nothing to the imagination and I love that like her personality she has hair to match, black with blue bangs. She is running from a past that she won't escape, not because she cannot overcome it, but because she really does not know the truth of it. She is living out of her car, looking for a one night stand. Across the bar is none other than Asher.Now enough of the spoilers, I have really only given you a little bit. I am a sucker for a good chase and the build up to the intimate encounter. I love that Nola has written such an addictive book bringing two very unlikely characters together and making them sort out their crap. I loved the addition of Gypsy to the story and how she is forever her brother's savior but also that she sees the writing on the wall for him. Nola has not given me the cliffhanger I normally see at the end of the book which makes me wonder if there will be a book two or not, but if not it is a great stand alone. I do think that it could be explored to have more in this as a series with all the characters added at the end. Very sexy read and very fulfilling to my imagination!
