Enemies-to-friends-to-lovers between demonic FBI agent and CEO witch while on the run from magic enabled drug dealers. Super creative premise and characters.

Loved it
Absolutely loved this book and the characters. There is lots of plot, romance, steam and action. To keep you satisfied and wanting more. With a kickass heroine and a dark , dangerous and lovable hero.

I thought this an amusing, if shallowly developed, story. I picked it up because the blurb inferred that the male character used sex magic and the female one was a billionaire. I thought that subverted the norm, where woman are usually associated with sex and men with financial power. The book didn't really utilize it in any significant way though. The characters were actually pretty standard. She was plucky and, yes, rich, (but still somehow innocent and down to earth, of course) and he was extremely dangerous, dark and brooding (but not actually the psychopathic killer people think him, of course).
But I did like both characters. After the initial introduction we see a softer side of Zane that I appreciated. No alpha-asshole here! And Ever saved the day with her skill more than once. So, no wilting violets either. And the whole thing is easily readable with no contrived misunderstandings or too-stupid-to-live drama to complicate things. But the plot is pretty thin, the world basically sketched out, and and the whole thing more more fluff than depth. But I'd read the next book if it was put in front of me.

Ever is a high level witch who gets into the middle of an undercover agent's assignment. Ever gets involved with a drug lord after her father dies of a suspicious drug overdose. When his body disappears she is determined to find out what happened to him, and she knows Pennies is involved. She did not mean to get caught by his thugs while surveying him and she definitely doesn't understand the sudden lust filled dreams. She is a powerful level one mage, but she is no match for an incubus. But once she discovers that Zane works for the Magical Crimes Division of the FBI and they are investigating the numerous OD deaths and disappearing bodies, she is all in. She is new Magic. Zane is old magic.
Zane is an incubus. His mental magic sucks the sexual fantasies and wants right out into the own when he unleashes it on someone. He can literally suck them dry, and they will actually enjoy it. Unfortunately, his monster wants him to do just that over and over again. It causes him to vibrate with energy, and too much can make him drunk with power. If it wasn't for his control and his ability to bring down the bad guys he would have been locked away a long time ago. His current "boss" is a drug lord named Pennies Machnik and Zane is having a hard time getting the goods on him, at least with enough evidence to convict him of something. This is surprising considering the man is a simple with no magical ability. Everything starts to go to hell when the woman shows up to yell at Pennies and demand he tell her where her father's body is. What is going on? Forced to use his power on her to save her life he brings her home with him to protect her.

Hmm did I like it? I suspect so as I gave it 3 stars and there are no ranty notes on things that annoyed me. Was it memorable – apparently not, as I while I remember the gist of the story I cannot remember any details as I sit down to write my review a week later. The story was fairly typical of its sort and I did enjoy the romance as with their particular powers they are ideally suited to one another.

I got this as a free Nook book and decided to give it a try. It was an enjoyable read, that being said it was a very basic plot with very simple and predictable characters that was convenient. Add is a simplistic and vague magic system it was middle of the road read. It had an interesting romance that had great tension and sex appeal that was steamy. But not worth paying for the rest of the series in my book. But enjoyable, fun and easy read.

This is quite a unique scenario and I quite enjoyed this book! I wish there had been a bit more depth, a bit more exploration of the relationship, but this was a really good book!
If you like witchses, magick, undercover ops and sex, then this is the right book for you! I am looking forward to seeing how the story continues when we read about Ever's sister Mercy in the second book of the trilogy. The third book follows the youngest sister.

Zane is an undercover FBI agent & an incubus. Ever is a witch. She gets caught in a situation that could get her killed, but Zane saves her. They end up teaming up together for an undercover sting on a drug boss that Zane has been trying to take down. I won't give any spoilers tho.
This is not one of my faves from Alisa. It has a really interesting plot with well-developed characters. I found the first few chapters slow & hard for me to get into, but I ended up enjoying the storyline. It has plot twists & surprises along the way. It has a HEA but it ends on a big cliffhanger with more unanswered questions. I rated this down since it started out slow & I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get into the storyline. It deserves more than 3 stars but not a full 4, but that's just my opinion. Pick this one up & try it for yourself.
