Assassin's Heart

Here's the official summary:

The truth of the soul.  

Lysander Condellaire never understood why he had telepathic and telekinetic powers until the night his Praetorian father tortured him and left him for dead. Now, the half-angelic, half-demonic face he sees in the mirror is a reminder of the monster he must keep hidden or face expulsion from the order of assassins known as the Sicari. But his dreams of Ancient Rome hint at a destiny he finds hard to accept, especially when it involves the woman he loves, but can never have.

The consequences of desire.

A gifted healer in the Order, Phaedra DeLuca witnessed her mother’s murder when she was just a little girl. The haunting memory makes her loathe everything Praetorian. When she travels to Rome in search of an ancient artifact, she must work alongside a man who once cruelly rejected her love and healing touch. But her dreams of Ancient Rome tell of an irreversible and possibly dangerous future. For the distant past and present are about to collide--with the one man she is destined to love.

Review

Assassin’s Heart is another wonderful adventure into the Sicari world packed with action and intrigue. It is rich and descriptive with awesome fight scenes with wicked villains. All of the Characters are just phenomenal.

The romance between Lysander and Phae is dark and tortured. Lysander tries to deals with his past and hopes to save the woman he loves, from the evil that lives within him.  Phaedra is determined to love Lysander, not realizing he is protecting her from the evil that haunts her past. Lysander and Phaedra’s journey is a difficult one, yet so romantic and moving.

This is one of those series that will just continue to get better and better. I eagerly look forward to more in this exciting series.

I gave this book 5 out of 5
