A doctor in a hospital that caters to demons, Eidolon has dedicated his life to protecting and healing his kind. He is a Seminus demon, a breed bound by desire, and he is nearing his transition where he will desire to impregnate every female in sight. Arousal is a constant for him, but when he feels lust for a demon-slayer who enters his ER, Eidolon knows that his hormones must be going out of wack. The slayer, Tayla Mancuso, sets his blood on fire even as she knows that she's probably been responsible for hundreds of deaths of his kind—including his older brother. But when he opens Tayla up on his operating table, he learns that his little killer is hiding a big secret—she's half-demon.

Tayla Mancuso is an Aegi, a slayer who has been raised and trained to hate all demons and taught that they are all evil, malicious creatures that need to be killed on sight. When she wakes up in a demon hospital, immediately her slayer instincts begin to fire, taking in her surroundings and coming up with ways to dispatch the evil creatures surrounding her. She also feels a healthy dose of lust toward the doctor who's helping her, who she affectionately nicknames 'Hellboy'. Suddenly when demons begin turning up with their organs harvested, and the Aegi are the primary suspects, Tayla has to question everything she's been taught. Could an evil, sadistic being heal her injuries and help her to safety? But why would the Aegi harm these creatures who they believe to be the sources of all evil? Confused and betrayed, Tayla finds herself falling for her enemy while trying to hold on to her humanity...

PLEASURE UNBOUND is the beginning of a new Demonica series from Larissa Ione and it is hot, HOT, HOT! The demon world she has created is filled with a variety of shapeshifters, vampires, and other paranormal beings, and a society bound by honor and oath to protect humans from them. While the Aegi, the group that Tayla serves, doesn't know everything about the beings they seek to kill, they believe that they are fighting for the right cause. This is what makes it so confusing when Tayla finds out that not only might she be wrong about the being she's dedicated her life to killing, but that she might be one of them as well. Eidolon, on the other hand, is sugar and spice and everything nice, despite Tayla's repeated attempts to harm him. He tells her about her demon nature, and helps her learn to accept it, while at the same time using his Seminus powers to seduce her. The chemistry between these two is electric, and watching their relationship progress was enthralling. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in the Demonica series, and Larissa Ione has entered my list of authors to watch.
