The Luminara Series: Box Set Volume 1: Lussuria – L’amore -Lucca’s Lust by S.J. Molloy
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

TRIGGER WARNING. This series has content that is not suitable for people dealing with certain traumas.
SJ Molloy is an extremely talented author, and her descriptive writing truly makes you feel as though you can see the characters come to life. This series is not what I expected, however. I will admit that I was a bit put off that the relationship between the two MCs developed as quickly as it did because it seemed unrealistic. Someone who dealt with the level of abuse that Lexi did would likely not put her faith and trust into someone so quickly. I was, however, enamored with the love story itself – even if I wish it had been more of a slow-burn. The first book was a bit rushed in my opinion as far as the timeline goes, but the second book seemed to make up for some of that. It was slower going and allowed a deeper delve into the families and friends that surround both Lexi and Lucca. The third book, written in the POV of Lucca, was a welcome change of pace. It was interesting to see things unravel from his perspective and to shine a bit of light (wink) on things that did not make sense from Lexi’s POV. All in all, it was a good read and I am glad to have been introduced to this writer.
