Tavin is a Seminus demon haunted by his past deeds as a former assassin. He works at Underworld General Hospital to atone for all the lives he took. Tavin finds himself the target of his resurrected victims… And his savior is one of UGH’s newest nurses. Something about the beautiful yet prickly female feels familiar. Will Deja give Tavin the redemption he desperately needs? Or will she spell his doom?

Deja wants revenge on the lover who killed her twelve years ago. She is given the chance when her soul gets resurrected into a new body. Deja becomes a nurse at Underworld General Hospital, so she can get closer to Tavin. A life and death situation causes her need for retribution waver. Will Deja get the vengeance she craves? Will she learn the reason for her death? And can Deja forgive Tavin?

Poor, poor Tavin! The guilt that man lived with for twelve years. Yeesh, I would have buckled within an hour. What I admire the most about Tavin is that he chose a profession that is the opposite of his former one. He believes it is the best way to atone. Sure, it does not absolve Tavin for all he has done. But he truly did not have much of a choice.

I understand Deja’s need for vengeance. The hurt and betrayal she must have felt when her lover killed her. That would make anyone, demon or human, want revenge. But I love how that all changes once Deja learns the truth behind her death. And Tavin’s circumstances. Plus, Deja is granted another chance at life, one that she does not have to worry about because of her species.

BOND OF PASSION is the twenty-first book in Larissa Ione’s popular dark-paranormal romance series, DEMONICA. It is imperative (I cannot stress this enough) to read these books in proper order. Things will make sense, especially the state of the world, etc. What I absolutely adore about BoP is that it takes place in Underworld General Hospital. Oh, how I have missed this fictional place! I may not like real-life hospitals and doctors (have been there enough for the hubby), but I love these ones!

And the Seminus siblings! Eidolon, Shade, Wraith, Lore and Sin! I could not contain the huge grin I got when reunited with them. It is almost like seeing friends that have been absent for years. They, especially Eidolon, Lore and Sin, play an important part in the story. Azagoth and Lilliana even make an appearance. Now I must buy the novellas I need (two or three I believe) and Revenant’s book, so I can say I read every DEMONICA book out there!

The whole highlight of the book for me is when Lore brought up D&D’s drow. My favorite species of elves (just as past role-playing friends).

BOND OF PASSION’s first publication came in November 2022 by 1001 Dark Nights Press. The author re-released it, BOND OF DESTINY, and seven titles in her DEMONICA UNDERWORLD series. It received a new cover and bonus content.
