really enjoyed this book! I very seldom give 5 stars, but the book made me laugh and cry! ( )

I enjoyed this. The main characters are a great pairing. I like the way they interact, and how their initial attraction morphs into something more. It does a good job as part two of the series; it builds on the overarching story line without rehashing too much of the first book. ( )

~ 4 Rogue Stars ~

Rogue’s Passion is book two in the Iron Portal series by [a:Laurie London|4178737|Laurie London|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1286488101p2/4178737.jpg]. It takes place slightly after [b:Assassin's Touch|16142959|Assassin's Touch (Iron Portal, #1)|Laurie London|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1352662827s/16142959.jpg|21861176] ended. Asher had lost a dear friend and he is seeking revenge. I was a little disappointed in this book, I enjoyed it, but not as much as Assassin’s Touch.

Olivea, is a Healer-Talent and has kept under the raider of the militant forces that want to use all Talent’s wither they want to go or not. I felt her talent never got used to it’s full potential. Asher, an Iron Guild warrior. Asher is attractive, has no talent, and is not looking for a permeant relationship. I liked the softer side that we got to see of him.
Olivia and Asher had good chemistry with each other. They played their roles well. We do get some pretty yummy scene’s between Asher and Olivea. I enjoyed Asher’s dominance. The ”finger” action was unexpected and something you usually don’t see.

The world building was ok! Could have been better. I miss the other realm that the Portal’s lead too. We really don’t get much of the Iron Guild’s world in this book like we did in Assassin’s Touch. The interaction between the characters was enjoyable. Rickert and Neyla do make an appearance and we learn something about them. I liked Rand as a secondary character he brought us some perspective. Their is a little action, but not as much as I would have liked.

Overall, Rogue’s Passion was an enjoyable read. It is part of the Dark and Deadly box set. I’m interested to see what takes place next in the Iron Portal series.
