Sarah Baker is a paralegal in a law firm in modern-day Brooklyn. Her life is bouncing between her abusive lawyer boyfriend, the voices she hears in her head and her soul-sucking work at the law firm. On a New York spring day, she meets Caio as he plays basketball on a street court.
He is alluring, intriguing and young. Yet that’s the least of his mystery, for Caio was beaten, thrown into a hole and left to die. In 1905.
Sarah tries to understand this enigmatic stranger while juggling the dubious ethics of her law firm and the ghosts in her head. As she struggles with loss, grief, love, beauty… and lawyers, she will need to summon the strength to break all of society’s rules, save several lives and step into a new and potentially magical life.
Caio is the opening book of a new series of supernatural romantic thrillers that will pull on your heartstrings, challenge your perceptions and lead you on a singular journey of discovery and revelation.
Caio is the first book in the Limerent Series but it's the fourth one I have read so I was very eager to read more of Caio's story as he has become one of my favourite characters in the series. It's a great story and I don't think it was spoiled in any way by me sort of knowing the ending.
Caio may look like a teenager but he's older than you might think...a LOT older. Sarah Baker is in her forties so she is confused by her attraction to this basketball playing teen but Caio is persistent and when he trusts Sarah completely he finally shares his incredible secret with her.
Sarah hears voices in her head and they help and advise her throughout her life. I just wish they'd advised her to stay clear of Karl who abuses Sarah both mentally and physically. I was so mad at how he treated Sarah but her life is so entangled with Karl's that it's almost impossible to leave him. Until Caio makes an appearance in Sarah's life and changes it in ways she could have never imagined.
Spellbinding and mind-blowing, Caio is a brilliant start to a highly original series that will entertain and delight readers of many different genres.
