Noah Braverman knows life is pain. With everything he’s lost—and everything he’s done—he doesn’t deserve anything different.
Then Cory Dawson shows up at Vesperwood Academy, a paranormal university, bringing mystery and mayhem in his wake. It’s bad enough Noah has to teach Cory in combat. Now the dean wants him to teach Cory to be an incubus too.
But Noah’s not an incubus anymore. And he can’t get close to Cory. He won’t.
Cory is unfairly gorgeous, his luminous eyes and soft lips haunting Noah’s thoughts. Noah’s desire surges anytime he’s near his new student. But worst of all, being near Cory reminds Noah of everything he can no longer have. Everything he swore he would never let himself want again.
But Cory’s in danger. Evil incubi want to steal his power and turn him to their cause. And some of the witches at Vesperwood would kill Cory if they knew what he was.
The only way to keep Cory safe is to keep him close. Can Noah do that, and keep his lust hidden? Or is he destined to give in to his forbidden desires?
Strength of Desire is Book 2 in the Vesperwood Academy: Incubus series. This dark gay romantasy series is high heat with a romance that evolves across all six books. It’s a little more intense than a contemporary Spencer romance, but it still has all the Spencer feels you know and love. It features forbidden romance, professor/student, and hurt/comfort themes with gay awakenings, daddy issues, mystery, and suspense. Strength of Desire ends on a cliffhanger.
My Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We pick up right where the cliffhanger left us, diving deeper into Noah’s thoughts and emotions. With everything he’s lost, being near Cory is both a haunting reminder of pain and a sharp warning of the dangers lurking around every corner. Cory’s power pulls danger in, even as it pulls Noah closer.
Determined not to let Cory get hurt, Noah finds himself drawn back to life—and to the fight—despite every promise he made to himself. The tension is constant, the danger is real, and the pull between them is undeniable.
Just when you think you can breathe, Spencer Spears leaves us hanging again with another heart-stopping cliffhanger that will keep you desperate for the next book.
