Lexi and Lucca have been through the wringer. Michael Parks, David, Gina and Kimberly are still causing massive amounts of havoc in the background With the help of their friends and family, Lexi and Lucca show how much love and support can help you get through things. Lexi shows her strength as we see her grow while dealing with issues from the past. The plot in this installment had more romance and twists which I loved. The beauty of Italy can be felt in the descriptions that SJ puts in her writing. Someday I will experience the beauty of Tuscany…Thank you, SJ

I’m continuing to get pulled into this great thrilling series. There was so much going on my head was spinning. I will warn this book is not to be read as a stand alone.
There is danger lurking around the corner for Lexi and Lucca is determined to keep her safe. They travel to Tuscany to get away. We continue to get a glimpse at memories that Lexi has which helps explain the darkness and her fears. Will Lucca be able to keep Lexi and her mother safe?
The author does a great job of pulling you right in with her writing. I continue to love the characters and Lucca is such a great loving man that I can’t help but grow more and more in love with him myself. His past does come back to haunt him in this book as well. My emotions were all over the place. Watching these two grow as a couple just makes your heart swell. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Another intense novel by S.J. Molloy. Lexi and Lucca once again must undergo an intense and terrifying journey as they try to find happiness and enjoy their love. S.J. Molloy takes the reader to a really dark place and slowly leads them back to the light. This novel is definitely not for the faint of heart but is it worth reading. If you enjoy dark drama filled books, you should definitely read this series by S.J. Molloy.

Luminoso (The Luminara Series, Book 4) by SJ Molloy – Review by Krista Vaughan
Lucca is trying to keep Lexi safe. He is doing everything in his power to do so. You can FEEL his love and his desperation to keep his love safe. Michael starts to taunt her, getting close and terrifying her. They return to Tuscany living closely with friends and family under security. The fear traps them mentally, the security traps them physically and they start to break. Lucca tries so very hard to be everywhere and everything Lexi needs. A baby! The love can only grow but the need to protect overwhelms. This continuation of Lucca and Lexi’s story is full of love, obsession, desperation, and sacrifice. There is nothing they won’t do to protect their love. Their light. I can’t wait for the next book!

Can I say, what a ride! This series I am so emotional over and this continuation of the story is definitely no exception. There is just so much raw emotion and the story sucks you in. Lucca and Lexi continue to grow as a couple, and the roller coaster of this relationship….wow! Lexi’s step brother, gosh, he is just …… his character is scary to me. SJ Molloy really captures each character and continues the Lucca and Lexi legacy in my heart so wonderfully!

This book is only for those over the age of 18 due to it’s graphic nature, adult content and triggering themes.
This is the continuation of Lexi and Lucca’s story, and that her past tormentor has been released from jail in Australia and is determined to make Lexi pay for what she did in their shared past and he is finding the most innovative and underhanded ways in which to do this. He is praying on her family and friends, as well as finding out all he can about Lucca at the same time, he has done his research and done it well, however, when Lucca finds out about it, his only concern is Lexi and her safety, however, while they are on a trip to see her family, it all comes out and Lexi is told that he has been seen nearby, it is almost more than she can bear as it all comes rushing back to her.
On their fated trip, Lexi is feeling extremely unwell, but just blames it all on a stomach bug, but when she finally gets to her grandparents house and she settles into the visit, Lucca is still looking after her while getting to know the rest of her family, but when she is still ill a few days later, her mum suspects it isn’t a bug and insists that Lexi takes a pregnancy test, in the end she takes triple that and when the realisation hits that she is indeed pregnant with Lucca’s child, this puts even more pressure on the couple than before. One evening as they are spending time together, it is reported that Micheal has been seen near the house they are staying in and that despite all the security which is in place, they are not safe there, so Lucca makes the drastic decision to take himself, Lexi and her mum Grace back to Tuscany immediately, so the hurriedly pack a bag, say their goodbyes and hurtle to the private airstrip as fast as humanly possible. While on the plane, Grace takes her medication, Lucca drowns his worries and anxieties in whiskey while Lexi panics that it is going to be Tuscany all over again, so as she tries to talk to him and get him to open up, the only way he can is by her giving him over the control so that he can work out his frustration without resorting to drink. Lucca hates himself afterwards, however, he does finally open up and talk to Lexi about the situation.
When they get to the farmhouse, all they want to do is sleep, however, Lexi’s nightmares continue and her mother starts having episodes of her own brought on by the traumatic events of the night before, but Lucca is there to pick up the pieces as best he can and support both of the ladies in his life, while also running his business at the same time. As the stresses all pile up and the media get a whiff of the story, scandals are broken and the family’s haunted past is dredged up and brought back into the spotlight, this is too much for Lexi to cope with and she struggles with the stress and anxiety, but when Lucca starts to become distant and closed off, Lexi is even more worried about him. Neither of them want to hurt the other and by continuing the cycle of non-communication this is only doing them more harm, but when a new threat is unleashed and trusts are betrayed, Lexi and Lucca begin to wonder who is really on their side and it brings out the determined and strong willed woman in Lexi while pushing Lucca to breaking point while trying to protect her and their unborn baby.
Will they have any peace while Lexi copes with a difficult pregnancy, while having the eyes on the world focussed on her and Lucca, or will Lucca’s need to protect his family break the fragile bonds holding them together? Will they be able to fight the incoming storm together, or will it break them apart on the rocks of their pasts? This is another compelling installment in a darkly romantic series where love, lust, light and strength will all be tested as past and present combine to create a turn of events which will change perceptions and realities completely.

This details the next chapter of Lucca and Lexi’s lives as they embark on the journey of parenthood whilst still dealing with their issues from the past. I did enjoy finding out what was next in their story and how they respond and adapt to the new challenges in their lives and how their relationships with each other and their families cope under these new pressures. My only criticisms of this series is that it’s very heavy emotional subjects and at times I would have to have a break and refocus myself. I also found the many deep and meaningful declarations of love quite repetitive at one point and they aren’t always needed for the story or the character development.
Luminoso is the 4th book in the amazing Luminara Series by SJ Molloy. I have absolutely adored this series so far and Luminoso was my favourite of the series up to now. This book is not to be read as a standalone, the series must be read in order. This book, as with the others in the series comes with a trigger warning as it contains dark and highly emotive material. As I said, this has been my favourite in the series so far. Most of this book takes place in Tuscany and I just love reading about all the family times that Lucca and Lexi have there. Gamily is such an important theme running through this series and we see much more of it in this book as everyone has to stick together against the threat of Michael Parks. As well as the happy family times, there are also many dark times as Lexi and her mother struggle with their mental health and we also see cracks appearing in Lucca as he struggles to keep everyone safe. He takes everyone’s worries on as well as his own and it’s beginning to affect him. The finale to this book is amazing and I felt that I forgot to breathe at times. It just has everything. The drama is outstanding and will have you on the edge of your seat. I cannot recommend this book and this series enough. I have absolutely loved every book so far and I’m so glad that I have the 5th book Luce Eterna Part One on my kindle as I really need to know what’s in store next for Lucca, Lexi and the family.

This book continues where from it left off. SJ Molloy’s writing style is such that you really feel everything that Lexi and Lucca go through. The love Between Lexia and Lucca is so genuine and unique. This book is of adult content. It contains strong language, hot sex, and violence so it is not suitable for everyone to read and has many triggers in. This book is a roller-coaster to read.

Luminoso (Book 4 of the Luminara Series) by SJ Molloy was a great read! This book could be VERY triggering for some however, so be cautious when reading not only this book but the whole series. Once you get past all the triggers and pages of sex, the storyline is incredible. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this series however due to some events that transpired in this book, I may not continue this series. But again, besides all the triggering content this series has been really good and I have for the most part really enjoyed reading. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future, hopefully with some less troubling content involved.

Luminoso: The Luminara Series, Book 4 by SJ Molloy. I simply cannot get enough of Lexi and Lucca. These two pull me in and I love getting lost in their story. Book four was just as amazing as the rest of the series. Yes this book may have triggers for some but I think the author handles them well. The situations in this book and series can be extremely difficult to see but I love how the author created our main character Lexi. She’s just so strong even even she feels at her weakest. And Lucca had me swooning just as much in this part of their journey. I love spending time with these two and all their amazing family and friends. So excited for more! Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

Luminoso (The Luminara Series, Book 4) by SJ Molloy. This is the 4th book in the Luminara Series and its a great read. It is a very emotional read so be prepared. It can be read as a standalone but is much better if you read the previous 3 books. Its the continuing story of Lexi & Lucca and their emotional relationship. Having escaped their home after the tragic event they find themselves in Tuscany. Michael Parks is on the loose and still after Lexi. Lexi and Lucca brought Gracie with them and Lexi and Gracie are still trying to process their past torment. Along with the tragedies Lucca & Lexi find out some very happy news as well. Lucca will do anything he needs to do to save Lexi. Lexi is Lucca’s world and he will stop at nothing to protect her. The chemistry between Lexi and Lucca is amazing and jumps off the pages. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat!

Luminoso is the fourth book in The Luminara Series by SJ Molloy . This is a ultimate love story that will have your emotions running all over the place at times my heart was breaking for these two.

Lucca and Lexi are back and Whew what a ride. Their love story is like no others , together they can conquer anything from a dark past to a bright future. Find out what happens next when Lexi’s past comes back with a vengeance and wants revenge. Can Lucca keep her save and protected? I highly recommend this book and I can’t wait for the next book in this series

Luminoso is the fourth book in the Luminara series by S.J Molloy. This story follows on from book three, so it isn’t a standalone. The series/books really need to be read in sequence to fully appreciate the story. I have been on the fence with this series, having read the first three books as a boxset, I had felt that the story was really drawn out and could have been condensed into one or two books- and after reading this one, I still feel the same way- as this fourth instalment still doesn’t conclude the series, as there are two more books (at least) still to come- so I definitely think that they could have been condensed into a trilogy. The whole thing is very wordy and that frustrated me. But, I have warmed up to Lucca more in this book- but still couldn’t connect with Lexi in the way I would have liked, which was disappointing. As mentioned in my review for the first three books- some of the dialogue/situations felt forced, somewhat awkward, or stilted- which was still an issue in this book, for me- although it does seem to have improved a bit from the first three books- and I did ‘enjoy’ this book more than the first three. Crossing my fingers as I head into book #5.

Luminoso by S.J. Molloy is the fourth book in the Luminara series. This is a series that does need to be read in order as it follows the same characters and is a continuation of their story. For me this series just keeps getting better. Which each new book I am pulled further and further into these characters and their story. This really is a book – and series – that has it all. This book is such a rollercoaster of emotions. It really is a testament to the author that you feel absolutely everything as you read this book. I am fully invested in this story and cannot wait to see where it will go in the future!

This is book 4 in the Luminara series and wow what a book. It carries on the story of Lexi and Lucca beautifully. Their story is definately a difficult one to read but at the same time it’s awe inspiring how they have overcome so much to be where they are. The author does an amazing job with such delicate subjects. Always approaching them and writing them with respect and a lot of compassion. You really feel every emotion of the characters which gives you a great connection with this series.
Lucca and Lexi have escaped to Tuscany after the horror that happened at their home. With Michael Parks on the loose and tormenting Lexi, Lucca wants her as far away from there as possible. Lucca is a protector and will stop at nothing to protect Lexi.
Meanwhile Lexi and her mum are still struggling with emotions and feelings from their past and with Michael Parks free this only intensify their fears.
Will Michael find them? Will Lucca be able to protect all that he loves? Will Lexi be defeated by all her demons or will she now feel its time to fight back? And if she does fight back what will the consequences be?

Grab your tissues!!! S.J. Molloy is at it again. I’ve fallen in love with these characters and it feels like I’ve been with them on their journey through all their ups and all their downs. This is yet again a nail biting, suspenseful installment of the love storie between Lucca (the wear’s his heart on his sleeve, dominant) and Lexi (the broken but Survivor). If you’re looking for a page turner this is it!!!

Luminoso us the fourth book in The Luminara Series by SJ Molloy will have your emotions all over the place. The dark of the past rears its ugly head again just when things seemed to have settled. There is heartache and a deranged psychopath hellbent on revenge. This is the last book in the series and whilst it grabs at you and you want to keep the lights on there is also some aspects of the story that were a little too wordy for me.

The next chapter of Lucca and Lexi can they survive or will the past catch up with them and ruin their relationship.
Lexi is going through a lot, finding out she is pregnant and trying to hide it for the time being from friends and family but with horrendous morning sickness can she keep up the charade. Lucca as always is the protecting Lexi but can he be there all the time and keep her safe.
This is the fourth book in this series and to be honest if you are coming to this series fresh I would start from the beginning, although you do get more of the backstory within the book you really need to understand this couples journey from the beginning. With that said this story was epic, you understand a lot more of Lexi’s story and the ordeal that this woman went through in her childhood. I also loved the passion that jumps off the page with Lucca and that Lexi is his world and the utter determination that drives him to protect her.
This is a well written fast paced story with wonderful developed characters and a utter joy to read, although there is some dark history coming forward the light definitely out shines the dark. I can’t wait to read more stories by this wonderful author.

It just keeps getting better and better. After reading Luca’s Lust, I anticipated that the ending chain of events would transition to the beginning of Luminoso but alas SJ had other plans. I delighted in the fact that predictability is not an ingredient in this novel. SJ captivates the readers’ attention and leads them towards an emotionally charged rollercoaster of a literary adventure. I was a bit bummed out about the conclusion of Michael’s character (blame it on me feeling vindictive). SJ created a work of art by incorporating a powerful description of the characters and plot of the story, a good balance of tension and release (at one point I almost threw my Kindle in the wall-almost) and a satisfying conclusion (all is right in the land of Lex & Luca). Overall, I would recommend this book- and I’m hoping that there is something in the works for Cameron- I’d love to see his story be told.

This is the fourth book in the Luminara Series. This is a Dark Erotica novel and is 678 pages. This story follows Lexi and Lucca. Lexi’s half brother Michael is bound and determined to make Lexi pay for all of sins. Michael skips parole and comes after Lexi. Lucca is bound and determined to keep her and her mother safe. So, he takes them away into hiding. The press leaks a scandal and creates an unnerving stressful situation. Warning – this book does contain sex, language, and violence.

I enjoyed this book. This is the fourth book in this series and I highly suggest reading the previous three books to help your enrichment of the series and the characters. I enjoyed this book just as much if not more than the previous books. I was pulled into the story by the characters. They bring the story to life on each page. Luca and Lexi are back in another fast paced page turner. Lexi’s past has come to her present life and it came crashing. The past is looking for revenge and justice. Will Luca be able to protect them? What will happen when she comes face to face with her past? These characters are strong and just make the story for me.

Lucca vows to protect them both, taking extreme measures to ensure their safety while trying hard to provide a stable and positive life for them both.

In an explosive and heart-stopping turn of events, you will be shocked beyond belief.
Can Lucca keep Lexi safe?
Will she fight and face her demons, or surrender to the darkness once more?
