Luke's Touch

Walker Security: Lucifer, Book 2

De: Lisa Renee Jones

Narrado por: Andi Arndt, Jason Clarke

She loved him. He betrayed her. Nothing is what it seems.

One touch can change everything though, and it did. The minute he showed back up in her life, all deals were off. He touched her and she melted. He promised her everything, and she wanted everything. The question is: is he her salvation or her destruction? Love. Hate. Passion. Danger. It's about to get hot in here . . .

Contains mature themes.

Oooooo

Well, this just keeps getting better and better! I cannot believe that Kurt is still alive. Cannot believe that Parker is his nemesis. ! I am looking forward to the next chapter. I wonder if Casey and Trevor are still in the picture as well. This is just getting too good! I am looking forward to the next chapter.

I can't wait to see how it ends!

I love diving into another Lisa Renee Jones series and I had been waiting for Lucifer’s Trilogy to be completely released. Then I decided to grab it in audio for the ultimate experience since the always amazing Jason Clarke and Andi Arndt narrated this story. Let me say, this was just what I was in the mood for. The story has tension and suspense - a second chance, romantic suspense that will keep you guessing. Luke (Lucifer) and Ana have so much tension between them with the events of the past keeping them from giving into the red hot chemistry that brews between them. All 3 parts of this story are high on fast paced action, steamy tension, mystery, and quite a lot of tension breaking spice.

They were once in love, but life and tragedy tore them apart. When threats from an unknown enemy thrust them together, they must learn to trust each other again. Their heat and passion ignites while they track down the source of their trouble and uncover truths from their shared past. Their journey to find a mysterious package reveals ghosts - both dead and alive - and they discover that they may have a future together after all.

I have always loved Lucifer in the other stories he appears in and was one of two characters I wanted to have their own stories. He was every bit of the good guy with dark edges I’ve always known him to be. Ana wasn’t what I expected, but I liked her better for it. She was just as skilled as the guys, but more emotionally vulnerable that you might expect. It made her a bit of a paradox at times, but honestly she worked for the story. I wished they had worked it out a bit sooner and had more of an opportunity to work together as operatives in the story. There is more focus on their past and the rocky dynamic that it created between them rather than the suspense plot. While I really enjoyed this trilogy, it doesn’t top my favorite of LRJ’s stories. Overall, I felt like this was an excellent addition to the expansive Walker Security series and sincerely hope to get more in the future, particularly Adam’s HEA.

3.5 stars

Story picked up more in this installment. Characters are still interesting but the whole “I don’t know if I can be with you” and “killed my brother” is getting annoying. Narration is excellent as always by Andi and Jason. Moving on to the next installment.

Story & narrators are great, but Ana drove me NUTS!

The story line is great. Narrators are great - ANYTHING with Jason Clarke is good! He could make reading the phone book sound erotic. having said that, ANA drove me NUTS! Her feelings vacillated multiple times a day - especially feelings toward Luke (Lucifer). Her lack of self-preservation at times was nonexistent. She frustrated me to no end. I’ve downloaded Luke’s Revenge and will finish the series, but I really hope she makes a decision to stick by Luke and stops trying to be a one man show when it comes to her self-preservation.

¡Se prendió esto!

Le puse sus cuatro estrellas a esta segunda parte porque, la verdad, me dio exactamente lo que estaba buscando después de tanto misterio. Aquí la cosa se pone color de hormiga con Luke y Ana en plena huida, y ese choque entre un ex-agente todo rebelde y una mujer del FBI que no se deja pisotear es lo que le da el verdadero gusto a la historia. Se siente mucho más movido que el primer libro, con la adrenalina a millón y esa tensión de no saber quién te va a traicionar a la vuelta de la esquina.

Lo que más me gustó fue que por fin se siente que la relación avanza de verdad. Ese "toque" de Luke del que tanto hablan no es juego, la química entre ellos dos es un incendio que quema las páginas y, aunque a veces usan la pasión para no tener que hablar de los problemas reales, se nota que hay un sentimiento profundo que los une. Me encantó que ella tiene su carácter y no se le dobla tan fácil a ese lado alfa que él tiene, lo que hace que sus encuentros tengan mucha más chispa y no sea el típico romance aburrido.

El audiolibro es otro nivel, porque con esas voces una se imagina todo el drama y la seducción como si estuviera viendo una película. Es un libro que se va volando porque entre la acción, los secretos del pasado que van saliendo y ese final que te deja con la boca abierta, no hay forma de soltarlo.
