Release Blitz + Review: Legacy of Desire by Larissa Ione

The legacy continues…

Legacy of Desire, an all-new friends-to-lovers, why-choose, paranormal romance and third interconnected standalone in the Demonica Birthright Series from New York Times bestselling author Larissa Ione & Blue Box Press is live now!

Scotland, daughter of the Horseman of the Apocalypse known as War and a formidable warrior in her own right, has dedicated her life to fighting evil with her two demon best friends, Mace and Blade. Their extraordinary bond and uncanny ability to operate in perfect unison has made them legends as special operators with the Demonic Activity Response Team.

Afraid of ruining a good thing, the three teammates swore a pact to protect their friendship by declaring romantic involvement off-limits. But a recent near-tragedy changed things, and it’s getting harder for Mace and Blade to ignore their long suppressed feelings for Scotty. Especially after she announced her intention of losing her virginity and enlisted their help to find the right guy for the task.

So when a routine assignment goes wrong, landing one teammate in the hospital and the other in Scotty’s arms, the fallout puts their team, their reputations, and complete innocents, at risk. Scotty will need to make a choice, but how can she possibly decide between two males she loves equally? All the while, an enemy lurks in the shadows, poised to strike, and an angel finds himself at a crossroads that will test his faith and, perhaps, determine the very future of Heaven and all mankind.

**ARC provided in exchange for an honest review**

Larissa Ione continues to remind me why she’s one of my favorite paranormal romance authors. The Demonica world has been one of my favorites for years, so every time I return to this series it honestly feels like coming home.

Legacy of Desire was one of my most anticipated books in the Demonica Birthright series, especially after finding out the romance would center around Scotty, Mace, and Blade. I was really curious to see how Larissa would handle the relationship between the three of them, and I ended up really enjoying the way their longtime friendship slowly developed into something deeper. Their bond already felt strong from the previous books, so the emotional connection between them felt believable and natural.

One of my favorite parts of this series is honestly just spending time with these characters. I’ve spent so many hours with the Demonica world over the years that the characters feel very familiar and comforting to me at this point, and that connection makes every new installment even more enjoyable. I also loved seeing progress in some of the side plots that have been building throughout the series. I was fully invested in everything that was happening.

I also liked the balance in this book. There was enough action, humor, romance, and emotional moments to keep things engaging throughout. Some scenes definitely hit emotionally, which made me even more invested in the characters and their relationships.

While this wasn’t my favorite book in the series, I still thought it was a solid addition overall. The story kept me engaged, the romance worked for me, and I enjoyed being back in this world again.

Even though this book can be read as a standalone, I definitely think it’s more enjoyable when read in order because of the ongoing character arcs and relationships.
