LUKE
I've never been attracted to guys.
I definitely would never be attracted to a privileged, cocky bastard like Brad Henning.
Even though I've only been at St. Lawrence University for a few weeks, this prick and his friends are on a mission to mess with me-a scholarship kid who I guess they don't think belongs at a prestigious school intended for the nation's elite.
I've always been a loner, so I've dealt with my share of bullies. But unlike the bullying I encountered when I was younger, Brad and his friends have some unusual tricks up their sleeves.
They're using...
I don't even want to name it, but it's the only explanation for what's happening.
Magic.
These guys have powers, and Brad is using his to make me want him.
No-not just want him. Lust after him like I've never lusted after anyone in my life.
The way I crave him sears to my core, causes physical pain until I have the only thing that brings relief-his touch.
But when I discover that whatever he's done to me hurts him too, I realize there's more to all this than Brad and his friends trying to mess up my life.
More to it than these feral urges that are, at times, more than I think I can bear.
I have to get to the bottom of this, but until I do, there's only one way to end my agony.
I must surrender to the lust.

My Review: 4/5 Stars
Luke has always wanted to go to St. Lawrence for college. After losing both his parents within years of one another, he wanted to go the same college as his dad to feel closer to him. Sophomore year and he has finally made it with a scholarship. But things aren’t what he expected. First, there is Brad. The guy he is insanely attracted to but doesn’t get why him and his friends are so set on messing with him. Luke barely is coming to this realization that he is attracted to a guy for the first time and to one who clearly has some beef with him. But then weird things are starting to happen. And nothing is truly making sense. But it’s the only explanation…magic. Luke realizes that Brad and his friends have magic and according to them, something bad is coming. And Luke is in the center. Brad thought their plan to get Luke to leave would be simple. If Luke goes, the visions of bad things happening can’t happen. But it’s not that easy. Not when he can’t stay away with look and the chemistry and attraction between them is off the charts. Not when Luke begins to show magic of his own. There is so much they don’t know and understand about this world and powers they stumbled into but what they do know is that they can’t stand idle. They’ll have to work together to figure what is coming for them and how to stop it. I really enjoyed Luke and Brad’s story. The magic of this world was definitely beyond interesting and so different from other contemporary books with a magical and paranormal twist. I was super intrigued to see how the magic worked and all the paranormal things that came with it. Luke and Brad were also a fun couple! Loved their banter and the way their relationship changed from being more physical to more emotional. I’m definitely invested in this series and can’t wait for book two!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
