CLICK TO PURCHASE! Hades Helmet Crew member Anarrae is on shore leave on planet Il Doge and finds herself swept away in their festival of Carnevale. In the process, she finds herself kidnapped, seduced and swept away by a mysterious stranger. The weekend is the best of her life but will she be able to walk away from the one man who has secrets of his own?

CARNEVALE picks up where At Drogan’s Command left off and this time it is Hades Helmet Crew member Anarrae trying to live out her own fantasies. I love this series and frankly, CARNEVALE is no exception. Masks, abductions and seduction all play a roll in Anarrae’s fantasy and when a mysterious stranger sweeps her off her feet; can she let him go after a wild and passionate weekend?

Meet Anarrae, a member of the Hades Helmet Crew who is on weekend leave. She wants her secret fantasy to come alive and she paid good money to make it happen but when she meets a mysterious man who she finds exceedingly handsome, can she find a way to let him into her heart and her bed? Ms. Illyria always has some interesting characters and this time she introduces some wonderful secondary characters that will keep you guessing. I loved the way Anarrae is tough yet vulnerable at the same time. She wants to live out her fantasies yet she never expected to fall for the man who gives her the best time of her life. Anarrae is a character a reader can relate to and enjoy. I really enjoyed how she can be tough one minute yet the next her knees are weak and her blood is singing for the one man who makes her body sing with desire.

I love the way this author writes- Tight writing, fast paced storyline and a really cool cast of characters. She definitely leaves you wanting more. Will Anarrae find out who her mysterious seducer is or will she find out a secret of her own about him that will jeopardize everything she has worked for? With some really yummy scenes and a climatic ending that has you scrambling to find out when book three comes out, CARNEVALE is a book that will keep you entertained on a lazy afternoon. I am looking forward to the next adventure for the Hades Helmet crew…how about you?
