Lussuria by SJ MalloyI have to say that the first thing I noticed about the book was the playlist and I am in love with that first.  It made me want to read the book even more.  This is a series book so if you are looking for a standalone this is not it.2 things.  I need an Italian sex god and I want to visit Florence, Italy.  SJ Malloy's debut novel with the vivid scenes and graphic images to Lexi's past has left me wanting Lucca to protect her from every heart ache possible.Alexis Robertson has one horrific past that has left her broken.  She doesn't trust any man and lives by rules and boundaries to protect herself.  Trying to get her new office organized so she can leave on a two week Tuscan vacation, in walks in Lucca Caruso.  With his crystal azure blue eyes and amazingly sexy voice, she is flustered with being this close to him, but also unsure of what he seems to be doing to her insides that she has closed off.Lucca Caruso, sexy as hell Italian god has battled his own demons, is a smart man with his own business.  He walks into Lexi's office to get a consultation about his back only to be mesmerized by her beauty.Lexi and her best friend Hazel arrive at the villa to begin her vacation and are preparing to have dinner when in walks in the "Italian sex god" himself.  Feeling completely and utterly vulnerable, Lexi passes out from a sheer panic attack not expecting to see him again.  Lexi is not sure how to process these new feelings and emotions she is having towards Lucca.  Lucca, who feels the need to protect her,  insists on being the one to care for her.  Lexi wakes up to find Lucca in bed with her, but is not totally afraid of him.  She likes these emotions but is scared of letting someone in.The story takes you on an emotional roller coaster into both of their paths and leaves your heart breaking for both of them.  For Lexi to have suffered such a horrendous childhood and still have the will to do something with her life, leaves you rooting for both of them to find the light in each other.
