Raphael is everything I should run away from…

Cora Milan came to Miami to get a fresh start, away from the memories and stigma that followed her and her brother at home. When she’s mugged, Raphael Ortiz rescues her. He’s sexy, successful, and dangerous—Miami’s most eligible bachelor and it’s most elusive. A cartel lord who lives on the wrong side of the law, with only a veneer of respectability. He is the exact opposite of a clean slate, and he makes no apologies for wanting her.

When Raphael forces his way into her life, Cora knows she should run. But the attraction between them is undeniable, and Raphael is a man accustomed to getting what he wants. The more she loses herself in him, the deeper she is drawn into Raphael’s criminal world.

But when her past, and his present collide, both of them will be left grasping for the only thing that can save them from the darkness around them—each other.

My Review

Illicit Desire by Taylor Michaels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Illicit Desire by Taylor Michaels is the first book in her Illicit Love series. It focuses on Cora, a women with a damaging past who is essentially in hiding with her step-brother Paul, and also on Raphael, the head of the cartel in Miami who is instantly drawn to Cora when he first set eyes on her outside his office building.

A mugging brings them into each others lives and it's Raphael's persistence that keeps them in each others orbit.

A really intriguing story that deals with Cora's tragic past, Raphael's less than legal business practices, and how the two of them can come together to make each others lives better. Things are great until the poop hits the fan and then they're not great.

This book ends on a cliffhanger and it's left me impatient for more. I really enjoyed this story. The characters have enough depth and faults to be realistic even while the situations are not normal run of the mill situations.
