Desire Unchained (Demonica #2) by Larissa Ione

Desire Unchained (Larissa Ione)

SUMMARY

Pleasure is their ultimate weapon . . .

Runa Wagner never meant to fall in love with the sexy stranger who seemed to know her every deepest desire. But she couldn't resist the unbelievable passion that burned between them, a passion that died when she discovered his betrayal and found herself forever changed. Now, determined to make Shade pay for the transformation that haunts her, Runa searches for him, only to be taken prisoner by his darkest enemy.

A Seminus Demon with a love-curse that threatens him with eternal torment, Shade hoped he'd seen the last of Runa and her irresistible charm. But when he wakes up in a dank dungeon chained next to an enraged and mysteriously powerful Runa, he realizes that her effect on him is more dangerous than ever. As their captor casts a spell that bonds them as lifemates, Shade and Runa must fight for their lives and their hearts-or succumb to a madman's evil plans.

MY REVIEW 

Shade is Eidolon’ brother, i.e. a Seminus demon and consequently a maleslut. He cannot help it since he needs sex in order to survive.
On the other hand he is so lost in his little bubble where everything ends up in sex, that he does not really pays attention to people’s feelings and the way he truly hurts them.

Runa used to be his lover. She also used to be human i.e she had no clue about demons, the demon world and especially Seminus demons that use sex for survival.
Runa met Shade while she was working. He was good-looking, sexy, pushy (they had sex almost immediately after they met) and irresistible. All Seminus demons are irresistible...
So when she found him in bed doing a paranormal threesome, she ran away and got bitten by a warg (werewolf). It was her lucky night I suppose.

So now she's a werewolf and she absolutely hates Shade for his betrayal, while she considers him responsible for what happened to her.

The start of the book finds them chained up together in a dungeon. Neither of them knows what they are doing there, but they will need to cooperate in order to escape and survive.
They will be forced into bonding in the Seminus way and Runa will show her teeth. She is not that weak, stupid human anymore and Shade has a hard time not to fall in love with her.

There is some BDSM because Shade is into it and he uses it to help women heal inner wounds. But nothing too much. And nothing too believable and serious to be honest…

I did not particularly like Runa in this book; however she grew on me after I read the next books in the series.
The cave where Shade and Runa are hiding, far away from everybody also plays a vital role in the next books.
