In Piercing Ecstasy we finally get to know Jax beyond his harem. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about his mate having to deal with his sexual history and what he is mostly known for. I thought she might end up being a timid little mouse who'd just suck it up and deal with it. Ileana is NOT like that at all. If anything, she's the complete opposite. Ileana has a secret ability and because of it and her plans for vengeance, she doesn't have a lot of friends. Jax has been frustrated for awhile and his harem are not doing it for him. He dismisses them and decides to go without. Unfortunately, his energy levels are starting to suffer and he knows he'll have to do something soon to fix it.
Jax and Ileana meet and know they are mates. Ileana accepted it quite easily, but was not keen on sharing her memories when they blood bond. Jax has to work bloody hard to stay one step ahead of her. While she's fighting it, he's determined to keep her and make their mating as good as his Guardian brothers.
As usual, Setta Jay REALLY knows how to turn up the heat. Jax is the master of dirty talk and it's not just using dirty words. He's all about the feels and what his actions make Ileana want and need to get satisfaction. His dominance over Ileana was hard won, but totally believable. She just couldn't help but submit and what she thought would be abhorrent to her, ended up being something she and her beast needed.
We're still on the hunt for Elizabeth and her minions. Apollo is missing and Drake is losing his patience in trying to locate the God and what hell they will face if he's ever released.
The Guardian's of the Realms is still one of my favourite paranormal series and I'm definitely keen to go on. The way Piercing Ecstasy finished was beautiful for Jax and Ileana, but I am really interested to read if the next couple is who I think it will be. Addicted!!!
I received a complimentary copy of this story from Netgalley for an honest review.
