Now that Lucas has declared his love for her, Sienna is sure the drama between them is over.
She’s not afraid of Lucas’s ex-wife or whatever secret the other woman is holding over him. For two blissful days—the remainder of Sienna’s contract with Lucas—they hole up in a vacation house in the mountains of Tennessee, consuming each other. At the end of their stay, Lucas comes to Sienna with a proposition: his band, Your Toxic Sequel, is going on tour with Wicked Lambs, and he wants her with him the entire time. Sienna agrees to work wardrobe and be his official girl.
Life on the road is different from anything Sienna has ever known. Not only does she have to deal with Lucas’ band members, but she’s also forced to be around Cilla, the lead singer of Wicked Lambs, who’s clearly in love with Lucas. Despite horny band mates and a persistent gorgeous rock goddess determined to sink her claws into Lucas, Sienna stays by his side.
Then the threats start.
Lucas’ ex-wife Sam isn’t happy that he’s moved on, and Sam begins harassing Sienna—everything from threatening emails to phone calls and even fake accounts on Your Toxic Sequel message boards slamming her and spreading vicious rumors. Sienna keeps this from Lucas since she knows how bad Sam is for his music.
It’s not until Sienna is attacked by a crazed YTS fan hired by Sam, and Sam starts to aim her verbal threats at Sienna’s grandmother, that Lucas finally reveals his secret. And it’s a big one…
MICHELLE’S REVIEW
First off- huge thank you to Emily Snow for providing an ARC of Consumed.
So I have been very meticulous about reading the Devoured series in order. I started with the All Over You novella where we see the first time Lucas and Sienna met. And from that moment I was always Team Sienna. Yup. Lucas may be hot as sin but I was NOT impressed with his behavior. Well in matters of the bedroom I was very impressed. But beyond that-nope.
And then in Devoured I still wasn’t on bored. I LOVED Sienna. She was very strong considering what she was dealing with between her mother and Lucas being insane and unable to figure his shit out.
Now things started to change in the online Absorbed series. I was softening towards Lucas. Which then led me to Consumed.
FINALLY Lucas was doing the type of work Sienna was deserving off. We finally got the groveling I needed from him all along.
And really, Lucas was really willing to put his love for Sienna first which is all I really wanted all along. Also he told Sam to shove it which he needed to do for a while- so yay!
Now the sex was off the charts hot as usual. But my favorite part of this book actually was the friendship that formed between Sin and Sienna. I loved the way they interacted with each other. They just had this really honest relationship that was laced with humor and I loved it.
So the big reveal of what Lucas has been hiding happens in this book. And I have to be honest. After it was all said and done I was kind of like:
I mean it was a big deal but I kind of thought it wasn’t as big as I was expecting after waiting so long. I don’t want to spoil anything but I will say that Sam’s role in everything was kind of surprising and I am not 100% I was a fan of how it all wrapped up.
However, Sienna did think it was a bigger deal then I did and so she had some thinking to do. But that poor girl had no idea what to do and honestly, can’t blame her.
But the ending was perfecting and I think Emily did a great job of wrapping things up.
I cannot wait to see more of the rest of the guys in My Toxic Sequel!!
EXCERPT
“Nice move, Mr. Wolfe,” I mutter under my breath. Tapping my foot rapidly against the floor, I wait for my suitcase to come around on the carousel. Once I locate it, I lug everything to a row of chairs nearby. It’s too hot for me to wait outside for some driver to arrive.
No sooner than my butt makes contact with the hard seat do I hear snippets of a conversation between two women who are walking in the direction of the taxi exit.
“ . . . I have all of their CDs. I could spot him from a mile away. It was definitely him, and you—you are stifling me!”
What the hell?
I twist around in time to witness the shorter woman with the black, asymmetrical bob narrow her chocolate brown eyes at the tall, leggy blonde. “And just last night you just said they’re on tour. So which is it, Kate? He’s on tour, or he’s bullshitting around this place?”
“Or maybe,” Kate hisses, “Lucas is catching a flight because of his tour.”
Lucas is already here?
I clamber to my feet, allowing the argument between Kate and her friend to fade into the background as I scan as far as my eyes can see for Lucas. There are couples reuniting all around me, and what appears to be an entire busload of people holding up signs that say “Welcome Home, Gloria,” but no sign of him. I’m about to grab my stuff and go look, but then I see him. Heading directly toward me. His stride a little faster than it normally is, his soft grin entirely too confident, his hazel eyes cocky and yet so full of need.
God, that man and those eyes.
He’s wearing destroyed jeans and an olive green tee shirt that show off the green flecks in his eyes. His muscular arms hang relaxed by his side, but when he comes close enough for me to breathe in the clean, airy scent of his cologne, I notice that he’s worrying something between the thumb and forefinger of his right hand. I squint down at it as the toes of his Converse brush up against my ballet flats.
“Well fuck, Sienna. Looks like you’re more interested in my hands than my face.” But he opens his palm, holding it six inches from my face. My throat constricts when I realize what he’s holding.
It’s a guitar pick.
Holy hell.
“You’re grinding your teeth.” The volume of his voice is barely above a whisper and yet so powerful. “The things I want to do to you for that.”
