Jessica Montgomery, as a curator for a big museum, is nervous. The museum she works for has discovered a highly sensitive historical document; the same document her mother spent years of her life trying to find.   This document contains information that the Darkland Beasts want and information which the Knights of White must protect at any cost.  Though Jessica doesn’t know what is in the journal, she is very familiar with the information and facts her mother told her. Regardless, Jessica isn’t sure that she believes in ancient Knights and dark beasts intent upon killing humans throughout the world.  

Des has been sent by his leader, Jag, to find the Journal of Solomon. It seems the journal contains information that could affect future generations of humans. Since the Knights of White has sworn to protect the human race at any cost, it is imperative that Des find and steal that journal before the Darkland Beasts. His plan? Find and earn the trust of one Jessica Montgomery, the daughter of the woman who spent years trying to find the box mentioned in the journal. It will be an uphill battle between good and evil because the Darkland Beasts have help this time in the form of Jessica’s nemesis.  

Jessica and Des are attracted to each other immediately at first sight. Des readily believes that he is not worthy of a woman such as Jessica. Though he fights his attraction and desire for her, he knows it is only a matter of time before his inner beast succumbs to the woman that it craves.   Unwilling to hurt her, yet unable to leave her alone, Des succumbs and quickly finds that he can’t get enough of Jessica. Only when Des is fully able to commit and believe that she is the woman destined to soothe his inner beast will they be truly together.  

BEAST OF DESIRE is right! I immediately desired Des upon opening this book. His ability to see situations from all sides while doing his best to be honorable touched me tremendously.  Even though he couldn’t see it, I could tell what a pure and noble soul he was and his attraction and desire for Jessica showed through on each page. Jessica is a very strong character and to be the mate of Des, she has to be. She is loyal, has fortitude, and is strong enough to stand up to even the foulest of men. They make the perfect pair.

My name is Natasha Smith and I am addicted to this series! With BEAST OF DESIRE, Lisa Renee Jones grabs you, holds you, and with artfully written words and sensuous love scenes hot enough to melt even the most frozen of hearts, she weaves a timeless love story between two truly deserving characters. Then, on top of that, she leaves you hanging with just enough suspense that as a reader I am simply dying to read the third installment, BEAST OF DARKNESS. BEAST OF DESIRE is definitely a five blue ribbon read!

BEAST OF DESIRE releases from Silhouette Nocturne in March 2008 and I, for one, could not be happier!
