A Dark And Delicious Tale From The Mind Of Jade JonesAt first glance, Taboo comes off as a perfectly normal guy, albeit a very attractive one – handsome, charismatic, and alluring, all in a dangerously sexy way. However, he is anything but ordinary.The son of a powerful Succubus, Taboo is a rare Sanguinarian vampire with an eternal and unquenchable thirst for blood. When he sets his sights on Charm, a bad girl from the hood full of attitude and spunk, the vampire doesn’t know what he’s in for.Left to fend for herself at a young age, Charm had no choice but to land on her feet, cleverly conning her way through life in order to take care of herself and her younger brother. But things go south when she cons the wrong guy, never imagining in her wildest dreams that her victim could actually be a real vampire.
Jade Jones discovered her passion for creative writing in elementary school. Born in 1989, she began writing short stories and poetry as an outlet. Later on, as a teen, she led a troubled life which later resulted in her becoming a ward of the court. Jade fell in love with the art and used storytelling as a means of venting during her tumultuous times.
Aging out of the system two years later, she was thrust into the dismal world of homelessness. Desperate, and with limited income, Jade began dancing full time at the tender age of eighteen. It wasn't until Fall of 2008 when she finally caught her break after being accepted into Cleveland State University. There, Jade lived on campus and majored in Film and Television. Now, six years later, she flourishes from her childhood dream of becoming a bestselling author. Since then she has written the best-selling "Cameron" series.
Quite suitably, she uses her life's experiences to create captivating characters and story lines. Jade currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia. With no children, she spends her leisure shopping and traveling. She says that seeing new faces, meeting new people, and experiencing diverse cultures fuels her creativity. The stories are generated in her heart, the craft is practiced in her mind, and she expresses her passion through ink.
Well, I’ll be damn! I was not prepared for what went down in book two of the Succubus series. The story continues 26 years later. Inari is living her best succubus life as the mother of Chicago’s youngest mayor, Tremaine “Taboo” Harris, and Lavish fights to get her flesh and blood back. In book 2, we’re introduced to a new character, Charm Parish, a scammer from Cotver, Indiana who takes care of her disabled little brother, Channing, since the loss of their parents. With a dark secret that could ruin his reputation as a prominent figure in Chicago, Tremaine tries to keep his habits under wraps, but after an incident calls for a new housekeeper. Charm finds herself on the receiving end. This could be a huge money grab for her or a big mistake that could cause her to lose her life or her brothers.
I loved every moment of this book. Jade’s take on Taboo’s secret was different, and I like that. What I didn’t appreciate was how he was talking to Charm in the beginning. Charm was a sweet girl who had some rough edges due to caring for her brother and living in poverty. The way she handled Aneese was perfection because she was asking for it. As for Inari, it was only a matter of time before her lies surfaced and she got what she had coming to her. Even though there weren’t a lot of chapters with Lavish, her ending turned out perfectly.
Title: Sucker for Love Author: Jade Jones Publisher: Jade Publication Series: Succubus Book 2 Reviewed By: Arlena Dean Rating: Five Review: "Sucker for Love" by Jade Jones
My Opinion:
'Sucker for Love' was a good read and followed up from book 1, where one will not want to put it down until the end. The characters were all well-developed, from Taboo, Charm, Chinning, Inari, Aneese, Dani, and Lavish Thompson, to name a few that gave the reader quite an exciting read. What will Taboo do when he finds out where he came from instead of what he had been told all of his life? What was the instant attraction that Taboo had for Charm when he first met her?
To get these and many other questions answered, just pick up this good read and see how well this author brings it all together by the end.
Inari is a whole entire mess. Grief is a serious emotion if not tended to it will manifest itself into great pain. Taboo innocent and betrayed by the very person who was supposed to Love him. Charm caught up in a nightmare with her brother. This book definitely will take you on wild ride.
Jade had done it again! I enjoyed every bit of this story from beginning to end. Couldn't put it down at all. It was good to see former characters making their appearances in Book 2. I love Taboo and Charm together. Oh! They are everything! I am hoping for Book 3 to see how Taboo's life has changed from being what he was.
Taboo mama was crazy from the first book to the second! She should have been killing and seducing all those men who killed Mane Sr. I'm glad Mane Jr can finally live a simple life. He definitely deserve it. His punk ass egg donor can't be blaming nobody for Mane Sr death but her. Her get back backfired.
Well worth the wait. I'm so glad lavish found her son and told him the truth. I really couldn't stand Inari at first but I'm glad she got it together before she died. I really wish this wasn't the end. Great read
That was one heck of a story. It will definitely take the reader for one hell of a ride. Just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, it took a different turn crazy and entertaining for sure.
This book was so good. I need a part three. I really thought Charm brother was dead, glad to see he's still with us. I hope her and the mayor can get it together and fix things for the sake of the baby.
Inari is crazy but we knew that from book one. This book kept me intrigued from the start. I’m glad that Lavish found her courage, but I don’t blame her for being scared to death of Inari. The ending was perfect. Good read!
This duology grabbed me by the throat and didn't let go! I enjoyed it so much! This book was like listening to a friend tell you good steamy life changing gossip. Read it NOW‼️
Inari finally got what she deserved. Taboo finding out who and what he really is was a shocked to his system. Glad Lavish finally got to meet her son. Taboo taking steps to get off the blood and quit politics was a surprise.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and it kept me engrossed til the very end. I highly recommend this book to everyone who reads. You won't be disappointed.
