Luca was a watcher and an immortal. He was given a body to fulfill a very important
assignment. The mystical force field, known as The River of Light, was being affected
by an imbalance between positive and negative energy on Earth. He had to help restore that balance and look after Kamillia.
Kamillia was a fantasy author. She had mind-reading powers, which she kept to herself.
She also was a witch, but she did not know. Luca shows up at her doorstep to tell her the truth about herself and to protect her.Little did he know that once they confronted each other this strange connection was going to overwhelm them. There was going to be a strange familiarity and an unexplainable attraction, desire, lust.
Kamillia doesn't understand all that is happening. She is lusting for Luca.
Luca wants her too. She wants to find out the truth. But, what is the truth? Will she be able to handle it? Can she help Luca? Will he be able to restore the mystical force field? What will happen to them at the end?
This was a very good story. The plot was good enough to keep the reader's attention. The description of the characters was enough to understand them properly. The sex scenes were subtle, descriptive, yet not vulgar. I give it an over all rating of 5 stars.

After leaving an emotionally abusive marriage, Maddie decides to participate in a Wiccan binding ceremony to symbolically let go of the past. Her childhood friend Ryan leads her in the ceremony and they both soon find that along with letting go of the past, their eyes have been opened to a possible future with each other. As they explore possibilities, they find that Maddie’s past has caught up with both of them…
“Rituals” is the first book I have ever read that had Wiccan ceremonies and/or rituals as part of the storyline. I was immediately fascinated. The story started off with the main characters, Maddie and Ryan, participating in a Wiccan ceremony, and at first I was a little confused. But the confusion did not last long, and I was immediately engrossed in the ceremony, the binding ritual and the meanings in the rituals. I could tell the author has done her research concerning Wiccan rites. As a result of the author’s attention to detail and excellent writing, I would definitely love to read more of this author’s work as well as read other books along the line of this genre.
Now…I love a steamy love story…and, boy did “Rituals” deliver!!! It wasn’t steamy, it was scorching!!! Did I say scorching? I meant blistering!!! The love scenes with the bondage were explicit, and I loved them because of how the author tied (pun unintended!) it into Maddie’s past; essentially her foray into the world of bondage was a way to set her inhibitions free. I loved it!!! I also love when two best friends all of a sudden start to see each other with new eyes. As the reader, I know they already have a solid foundation of love, the passion is just another layer. This added credibility to the love story when they did fall in love.
Last, throw in the crazy ex-husband and I fell in love with “Rituals”! I love a story where a devious, controlling, abusive ex-husband who gets his comeuppance! “Rituals” has all the components I need in a love story to keep me glued to the pages: love, lust, and suspense. With the added benefit of a new genre that I see myself indulging in more in the future, you are looking at one happy reader!!! “Rituals” is a must read!
