About this ebook
Dangerously handsome Simon Northam, Duke of Hurstgrove, and his uptight brother Mason are hardly close, but crashing Mason's wedding and stealing his fiancée further aggravate their sibling rivalry. Duke's family has no notion he's a wizard, so how can he explain that magickind’s fate lies with the beautiful, tenacious bride he longs to seduce? Felicia is an Untouchable, a rare human whose presence disables magic--even the impenetrable forces surrounding Morganna le Fay's tomb. The evil witch’s malicious powers could propel nefarious wizard Mathias to ultimate world domination…if he can resurrect her. To conceal herself, Felicia must succumb to her smoldering desire for Duke, but he risks binding his life—and sanity—to a lover whose loyalties are forever torn. He faces a choice: betray his brother for ultimate survival…or lose the woman who tempts him beyond control.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Review courtesy of All Things Urban Fantasy
While the quick snap of love at first sight is a common occurrence in paranormal romances, falling in "trust" usually takes the span of an entire book or series. I would have guessed that a heroine with the magical ability to sense lies would have a fast track through the trust building process, but ENTICE ME AT TWILIGHT proved me wrong.
On the day of her wedding, Felica's truth-sense helps her quickly accept that her life is in danger and that her future brother-in-law is not quite human, but no magic will make her believe that love can last forever. Throughout ENTICE ME AT TWILIGHT there are hints that events in Felicia's past make her frightened of falling in love and opening up to another person. These hints were never sufficient for me to feel invested in her motivations, and I often lost patience with her behavior.
Luckily, this frustrating heroine had a stellar supporting cast, and a pretty great hero. I loved that when Felicia's magical power is revealed to the Doomsday Brethren, the cohort of wizards fighting on the side of good, Simon's only response is to be more careful in choosing his words (making him the only man on earth who would think having a soul-mate who can detect lies isn't a big deal). It was also interesting seeing how Simon, who holds the human title "Duke of Hurstgrove" and often goes by “Duke”, balances a life or death war with life in the public eye. I can't imagine celebrities like Paris Hilton or Colin Farrell having a secret, wizardly identity underneath the constant public scrutiny, and Simon certainly struggles with just that task.
While ENTICE ME AT TWILIGHT was an easy book to pick up and jump into, I found I was most interested in subplots rather than Felicia and Simon themselves. It is apparent from back-story provided in ENTICE ME AT TWILIGHT that there are some great relationships and uncommon plot gambits in this series' prior books. I plan on picking up books one through three and a half for my TBR pile, and will be in a hurry to buy any future book that will tell me more about the chief wizard's disappearing soul-mate or Shock, a complex mind-reader who can't seem to decide which side of the war he is on.
While I enjoyed the tantalizing (and damaged) future heroes in the background, I was never particularly engaged by Felicia and Simon themselves. Both of the main characters made decisions I found frustrating, and that decreased my enjoyment of their particular plot line. To someone familiar with the series (and perhaps invested in Simon from previous books), this book could be much more satisfying. As for me, while my appetite has been whetted for more of the Doomsday Brethren, the main event in ENTICE ME AT TWILIGHT just didn't click.
Sexual Content: References to sex, sex scenes, and a mutual masturbation scene. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I HATE storylines with cheating but I love this series.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my favorite books of this series. I enjoyed the romance, loved Simon, enjoyed the suspense portion of the story (kind of reminded me of the first 5 minutes of the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark"), and the interaction with the other characters from earlier novels. I liked the heroine and thought she had every right to be hesistant to accept her feelings for Duke when they only knew each other for a few days. I only wished we didn't have to hear her go on and on about it. It seemed like we had to revisit her issue constantly. The only other thing that bugged me was that Simon kept saying he would give her time, but then 3 days later he's questioning whether or not he should. Hello!! 3 days does not constitute exhibiting patience! Last, I wish there would have been 5 more pages devoted to a steamy epilogue:-) Shayla writes some of the hottest scenes so I'm always hoping for more. However, these were very minor annoyances bringing my score from a 100% to a 98%. This is an awesome series with a touch of everything. Can't wait for the next one.
