Lucca’s Lust: The Luminara Series, Book 3 by S.J. Molloy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a totally new perspective of Lucca. Seeing the story from his view allowed us to see why he is so fragile and insecure at times. He has experienced loss and trauma. Hey, the man is rich and isn’t really sure who he can trust. Very few seem to get into the inner circle. The story has a rare masculine romance feel to it. Lucca describes his feeling for Lexi as “grab your breath.” SJ carries you right on into getting ready for book 4. The plot was well developed. It was pretty easy to follow along and now right where Lucca was. The characters still felt realistic. My favorite part was when Dominic laid one on Lucca. On to book 4…

The Luminara Series: Box Set Volume 1: Lussuria – L’amore – Lucca’s Lust by SJ Molloy.
This series is one of my top picks for 2021. I’m a girl who loves a story about people mainly women living through awful things and rising above it all. Throw in a guy who makes me swoon all that much better. Lucca and Lexi are a couple of main characters that will pull you so completely into their world you won’t even know the time passing. Books one and two are a continuous of their story and book three is Lucca’s view of book one. My only complaint is that I had a hard time getting through book three simply because I wanted the furthered storyline quicker. Don’t get me wrong I loved getting Lucca’s point of view but I’d have liked it a bit later but please don’t take that as a hit against this amazing series because even though I didn’t like the timing per say I still absolutely loved Lucca’s point of view. This series is definitely not for the faint of heart there’s situations that could trigger some and be uncomfortable for others but if you love a strong character who fights hard to live her life I highly recommend this series. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I’m so excited to get more time with Lexi and Lucca. Five great big stars!

Hazel and Lexi are off on a vacation in Tuscany, Italy. They want to learn to cook Italian cuisine and bask in the lovely Tuscan countryside. Lexi loves the villa, and their hosts, Sophia and Franco.

Finding out that this is his grandparents’ villa, Lexi learns to trust Lucca Caruso.
Follow Lexi’s story fighting off the darkness of abuse and insecurity, to finding light in love and lust.
L’Amore
Lexi and Lucca have discovered that they are each other’s present and future. The second book in the Luminara series focuses on how that love grows.

Lucca’s Lust
The third book of the Luminara series focuses on Lucca’s past. SJ Malloy does an outstanding job of describing how Lucca deals with life and tragedy. From his past to his present, the story of Lucca is an outstanding story of how a man deals with life, love, and tragedy.
This is a true story about overcoming your past to find love and light. I was captured by the stories of the characters from the moment I begin Lussuria. This is a true love story.

Very very very good read! May I say……… Oh Lucca!!!! These books are so full of pure raw emotion. Lucca makes my heart swoon! The love between Lucca and Lexi cannot be denied.

Lussuria by SJ Molloy
I enjoyed this novel by S.J. Molloy. The novel really touched onto some dark and intense topics. The subject of abuse and how recovering from it can be intense and take time. The story of Lucca and Lexi proves that out of darkness light can come. Lexi’s journey to discovering love was intense and full of many twists and turns. S.J. Molloy writes with passion, and I don’t think that her stories are for the faint of heart. It is an interesting read and I look forward to continuing the journey in future installments.
L’Amore by SJ Molloy
Once again SJ Molloy did not disappoint. The continued story of Lexi and Lucca continued on its journey exploring a dark and intense topic. Lexi and Lucca proved in this latest installment that finding love is possible but keeping the love takes a lot of work. The passion of the first novel continued in this one and I look forward to the future novels in this series. SJ Molloy is a good author and I really enjoy reading her books
Lucca’s Lust by SJ Molloy
The third installment of this series was also very good. I liked the fact that this one was seen from Lucca’s point of view for most of the book. Lucca and Lexi have to overcome a lot of obstacles as they try to make a life together. The subject matter is intense and very interesting. I look forward to reading more.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the books 1-3 and the rawness of Lexi’s and Lucca’s love for each other, I couldnt finish the rest of the series. The writing was really good and it brought you literally into Lexi’s mindset. The abuse scenes got to be a little much for me and i had to skip some parts of it. I would recommend to my my friends, but I wouldnt recommend it to those who have gone through abuse. Lexi’s development through all 3 books was nicely paced out. You could see her growth and there were some parts that weren’t realistic, but still added to the story. Overall I enjoyed the Authors storytelling and her writing style.

The Luminara Series (Boxset 1-3) by SJ Molloy is a Dark Romance that once you start reading you will find yourself lost in the pages and wont want to put it down. I truly enjoyed this Boxset and reading about Lexi and her journey from dark to light. I found myself on the edge of my seat throughout the books and my emotions were all over the place. There are dome scenes that may be a trigger for some and a couple times I had to walk away for a bit and then picked right back where I left off. Can Lexi and Lucca together get past the dark and into the light together? I highly recommend reading this Boxset and I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

The Luminara Boxed Set by SJ Molloy contains the first 3 books in the Luminara series by SJ Molloy. It contains the full length novels; Lussaria, L’Amore and Lucca’s Lust. I had never read and of SJ Molloy’s work but the blurb of the boxed set had me very intrigued and looking forward to reading these 3 books. I am so glad that I chose to read these books as they totally captivated me and had me hooked from the very first pages.
This series is definitely for those aged 18+ due to the adult nature of the content. It should also be stressed that these books could be triggers for some due to some of the darker content.
The Luminara series is dark, very sensual and erotic and a fantastic read. Lucca and Lexi are amazing characters that I loved reading about. Lexi had a very traumatic childhood and has never gotten over the horrors that she had to endure as a child. Lucca is totally enchanted with Lexi and is determined to be the man to heal her.
I absolutely adored Lucca and loved that we got to revisit some of the story from his POV in Lucca’s Lust. It made a huge different getting to know his past, his own demons and what makes Lucca tick.
I really can’t wait to read the 4th book in this series and I’m so glad to already have it on my kindle waiting for me as I really can’t wait to see what’s in store next for Lucca and Lexi.

Intricately woven and creatively written novels. I enjoyed these novels immensely- I appreciated that each novel depicted various aspects of Luca and Lexi’s relationship. Love is patient, which is a predominant theme throughout this series. Luca’s love, patience and devotion to Lexi enabled her to be receptive to intimacy not only on a physical level but also emotionally. Readers beware of the erotic scenery that jumps off the pages at you. A promise is a promise.

The Luminara Series: Box Set Volume 1: Lussuria – L’amore – Lucca’s Lust
By SJ Molloy
Wow this series was such a great read. The first book gripped me from the start and as I read this book my heart broke for Lexi and her mom and brother. This family has been through some horrific stuff and the author handled these things very well. There are definitely some issues in this story that can be triggers for some people. We get to meet Lucca, the hot Italian man who wants to bring Lexi into the light. In the second book we get to watch both of these characters love grow and it is heartwarming to experience. There are also other wonderful characters in this story. Lexi and Lucca go through a lot of trials and tribulations in their relationship because there are people that don’t want them together and because both of their pasts bring its own problems emotionally for both of them. The 3rd book is Lucca’s pov and I thought it was going to be a repeat of the story but it was so much more than that. We find out some shocking things from Lucca’s past. I feel like it also gave me a better understanding of where Lucca is coming from and why he is the way he is. These books were an emotional read for me and they are full of romance, family, steamy moments, friends and more. I cannot wait to read book 4, I highly recommend this box set, you will not be able to put it down.

If you like super descriptive books with instant romance plotlines and a trauma filled background then this book is right up your alley. I, however, found this series very difficult at times to get through and I did take some breaks and keep coming back to it. I understand that this is supposed to be a tale of romance and lust however I found some parts of Lexi and Lucca’s romance unrealistic and at times cringey. This is down to personal preference however, and some may enjoy this style of writing.

8 only would recommend this series for those of 18 + because of the content and triggers.
Book 1 – Was a fabulous start to this series. We are introduced to Lexi’s life as whole and realising what she has came through is so heart touching. Watching her fall in love with Lucca was beautiful. Lexi has an extremely troubled past which you get an insight into and Lucca is there the Italian stallion with a heart of gold trying to bring her into the light. The story grips you and you wish to read more and make sure that Lucca excels at his duties and main aim.
Book 2 We are counting with were our story left off. Lexi’s past has come to Haunt her.
Book 3 This time we are reading through a diffrent POV.
However the series to me was a tad slow and development of characters could of been done at a faster pace.

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.

It was nice having the first three books in the series so I could continue on without having to wait. I do have to say that the first book was a bit slow for me in the beginning but I eventually got pulled right in.
Lexi has a terrible and scary past that she continues to have nightmares over. She is moving forward with her life and getting her new office set up before she goes on holiday. This is when she meets Lucca for the first time. There is something about him that ignites some different feelings in her. When she runs into him again while on holiday things take an interesting twist.
Overall this was a great read that leaves us with a heck of a cliff hanger leading into book 4. We get several hot and steamy moments. All of the characters added a great element to the story. I will warn there are some dark moments that could cause triggers for some. If you like dark reads this is a great series for you to read. I can’t wait to get my hands on book four.

The Luminara Series (Boxset Books 1-3) by SJ Molloy was a great read! This series was dark, full of suspense, drama, romance and drama. This was an enthralling series that had me on the edge of my seat wanting more. It was so easy to get lost in the scenery and imagery in this series I felt like I was right there where the characters were located. My only complaint for this series was all the sex scenes. I feel like they made the story drag on, and that without some of them you wouldn’t get as lost in the story. Or at least I felt like I kept getting lost from all the sex scenes. Besides that if you’re interested in a dark, sexy romance, this series is for you! This series definitely contains content for ages 18+.

This book is only suitable for those over 18 as it contains adult themes and content which could trigger some readers.
Lexi is a woman who has been to Hell and back again, but the things she experienced there have broken her in more ways than one and she is mired in darkness, but she is also afraid of her own shadow, afraid that she will be dragged back to Hell and she is terrified of what will happen if she is. At night when she sleeps, she has nightmares where she relives everything she has been through, she is closed off and anxious about everything and uses her medication and therapy to try and just survive her everyday life, but when Lucca walks into her life out of the blue, things will never be the same again.
Lexi is preparing for a girls holiday away with her best friend, but before she can get home to pack, she has to finish unpacking the moving boxes in her new physiotherapy office in a leisure centre, the lease has just been agreed and she needs to prepare everything for her business partner when he opens up while she is away. She is also trying to field messages and phone calls from her other friends and family, but she hasn’t got the time or energy to deal with all that drama as well as everything else, however when she does acknowledge them, it leads her into a panic attack and just as she is going full pelt into it there is a knock at the door. She jumps up in shock and turns her back on the Italian voice she hears, but he ignores the request to give her a moment and comes straight over, lifting her chin up to look at him and asks again if she is ok. As she slowly raises her eyes, she cannot help but admire his physique, he is tall, muscly, domineering and very masculine, but the moment that their eyes meet she cannot look away, he is gorgeous and has a warm aura, but the intensity is off the charts, never mind the sex appeal.
After he introduces himself as Lucca, it turns out that he is there for a consultation as his back is hurting him, but she is finding it so hard to concentrate, as she hasn’t been affected in this way by anyone in this way before, however, she manages to get through the consultation, despite trying to ignore the fact that he is most definitely aroused and that it is affecting her in the same way and it terrifies her, especially when he asks her to dinner, but she refuses and just about maintains her professionalism until he leaves. When she eventually finishes work and she goes home and discusses it with her girls, they are all happy that this has happened and help her to get to grips with the feelings, she also deals with her family and the news they have for her, then she focuses on her girls night in and preparing for her holiday the next day.
The next day dawns early and she finialises her preparation, she is looking forward to the three weeks away she has planned, when she does set off on the journey, she is nervous, but excited, especially when they are traveling through the countryside and see the hotel for the first time. They are warmly welcomed with food and drinks and given time to freshen up before heading down for dinner with the other people who are staying there, however, when she entered the room and sees Lucca, her brain goes into panic mode, fight or flight sets in and she does what she always does and runs away. She feels like she is being stalked and just wants to go straight home, however she finds out that it is an accident and that it is actually the hotel owner’s grandson. It turns out that he wants to see her and apologise for the shock, she reluctantly agrees and is happy when her friend supports her with the decision, but when she finds that she finds comfort in his touch and is not acting in her usual way she is shocked, but when she starts to open up and agrees to spend some time with him to get to know him because he is persistent in his requests and this is the start of something neither of them is prepared for.
Will Lexi be able to spend time with Lucca and feel comfortable doing it, will she spurn his advances or will she let her walls down and allow him to see her and everything which she is holding behind those walls and will Lucca be able to accept her as she is, baggage and all, or will this just be something to break out of her shell? This is a story of trauma, emotions, love, acceptance and finding light in the darkness which will pull you into their lives and keep you there as you go on their journey with them.

This is a collection of 3 books that follows the story if Lexi and Lucca. It is a dark romance that keeps you gripped from the first book. The characters are so well written that you can help feeling like your going through every emotion with them. Parts of the story are hard to read due to Lexi’s abusive past but really well written.
Lexi has had a terrible past which has now made her an adult that is untrusted, suffers bad with anxiety and she can’t see any way she will let another man near her.
That is until Lucca comes into her life. The attraction is instant but she is so scared of what could happen between them.
Can Lucca be her light out of the darkness she has been living in? Can Lucca help her overcome her past and open herself to love? Or will Lexi push him away and not give him the chance to prove he can be trusted?

50 Shades of Gray…. with some Italian sexiness.
This is the first time I’m reading something by S.J. Molly, she brought an interesting new take on the dominant and submissive nature of some relationships. I was really intrigued by their backstories especially because they first met outside their therapists office.
The characters are well developed and I liked the different perspectives of the story. My only critique is that some of the dialogue was a bit repetitive. I also wish that the 4th book was also in the series.

When your whole life has been in darkness can a light seep through the cracks and blast through the darkness, that’s the hope Lexi is looking for.
Lexi has had a dark past, full of hurt and evil but as she is trying to piece her life together she stumbles upon someone who could ignite to spark that has been buried so deep she feels she may have lost forever. Until Lucca walks into her office and then all bets are off.
Lucca is not particular looking for the one but when he walks into the physiotherapists office that day he did not know that it would change his life forever and meet the woman of his dreams.
This series is in three stages like a play, the first book introduces us to Lexi and the hideous life she has been through until this time and you truly cry inside for this woman, with her feeling so closed off and existing not living until one day Lucca walks in and then her feelings change. The story is pretty fasted pace from then, there relationship is in warp speed and very sexual which was a joy to read.
The stories were well written and I am glad I got to read them one after the other and fully appreciate the chemistry burning between these two character was a pleasure to read. As each book progress you get to see more into this beautiful couple and slowly see the boundaries that Lexi had built up breakdown with each confidence and trust she has with Lucca. I also loved that although through the first two books we see it from the prospective of Lexi the third book is written in Lucca’s prospective and is a brilliant counter to the thoughts and feelings you read within the page of the first two books.
This is the first books I have read from this author and would love to read more of them in the future.

The Luminara Series: Box Set – Volume 1 (Lussuria – L’amore – Lucca’s Lust) by SJ Molloy.
This boxset contains the first three books in The Luminara Series: Lussuria (Book #1), L’amore (Book #2), and Lucca’s Lust (Book #3).
I was drawn to the series by the beautiful covers and the promise of a “an emotional erotic heart wrenching story of lust, love and light.” Seeing that there were more books in the series, either published, or soon to be released, I snapped up a copy and dove in.
I love a great series you can sink your teeth into and get lost in- and that’s what I was hoping for here. But I am so sorry to say that I felt a little disappointed in the end. While the story was okay- it didn’t pack the ‘punch’ I was hoping for – and for me it just didn’t live up to the promise or expectation.
I really wanted to love this book/series so hard- but just couldn’t connect with the characters and their story in the way I had hoped. I also felt that the story was really drawn out and could have been condensed into one or two books. For the size of the books/boxset and all the words- there isn’t a great deal of development or the substance I would have expected- so I was left feeling disappointed. If the story had been condensed a little and had some ‘meatier’ development- then this could have been a really stellar read. There is a lot of potential here- but just failed to hit the mark for me.
Added to that, some of the dialogue/situations really felt forced, awkward, and stilted- they didn’t flow well or seem ‘natural’- which made for a bit of an unsettling read. I also note that there has been nearly six years between the previous books’ release and the pending new release. That’s a LONG wait between books- so I am very glad that I didn’t start this series sooner.
The story/series did get a bit better the further in to it I got- so I am holding out hope for the next books- and yes, I will be finishing the series- I always finish what I start. So fingers crossed.
I really did want to love this series so much more than I have (so far) and I am sorry but I just didn’t connect- but maybe it’s just me. Maybe next time I will?
Thank you, S.J. Molloy!

The Luminara Series: Box Set Volume 1: Lussuria – L’amore – Lucca’s Lust by SJ Molloy is the first 3 book in the Luminara series. These books follow the story of Lucca and Lexi and it is a story you will really find yourself hooked on. There is such a raw and intense connection between Lucca and Lexi, it can felt in absolutely everything. You cannot help but connect with them yourself and feel everything about their journey.
I was a little less taken with the overall story – it was good and I enjoyed it but I didn’t quite connect with it in the same way. I thought it was a great bonus that the third book is Lucca’s POV. I prefer books that are dual POV so to get his was something I really liked. This is an overall great series and I am looking forward to the next ones!

The Luminara Series: Box Set Volume 1: Lussuria – L’amore – Lucca’s Lust by SJ Molloy is delightfully dark and erotic. There are three books in this box set which is one of the reasons I love box sets is because you don’t have to wait for the next book. There are some stark themes in these stories with abuse, kidnapping and imprisonment which some readers may need to be aware of and be careful with. The first book starts out as little fluffy but as it goes on the writing gets stronger and more fulfilling. SJ’s descriptive writing gives us something that is gut wrenching, heart pumping and edge of the seat intense.
Together can they put the dark and harmful past behind and forge ahead into the light and sunshine of love and life?

This is a dark romance box set that I enjoyed. This is a collection of three stories about Lexi and her journey from dark to light. Each book is well written, engaging and page turners. Lexi is a character that is connectable but also she brought the stories to life for me. The story was an emotional roller coaster but that just added to the stories. Lucca is everything she thinks she needs and wants but is he really that good for her? I highly recommend this box set. I am glad I picked it up and so will anyone who enjoys dark romance stories.
