As a teenager, Mia had one true love – Alexander. For most of her teenage years he was off limits. With her fierce older brother and the fact Alexander works for a crime gang, she can’t be involved with him. But he is the hero in every one of her fantasies, and she has a pretty good feeling he has naughty thoughts about her as well. When she turns eighteen, she ups the pressure on him to take things further. He finally gives in, only to die at the hands of the very gang he works for. His life is not over though – he is turned into a vampire, but he is not allowed to tell Mia that. Ten years later, they meet again. Mia has been mourning his loss all this time. They not only rekindle their relationship, but much bigger things are in store for them. The battle against the Grimore is in full force, and they soon realize, Alexander and Mia, along with the hunter Wyatt, are destined to form a second trinity. The first of Zachary, Lindal and Beth, which we saw formed in Beth’s Acceptance have been awaiting this next trinity to form. All three have their own personal demons to fight before they can come together as one and fight for something bigger.

Mia’s Return is the second book in the Destiny Trinity series and it is just as steamy as the first, Beth’s Acceptance. If you want really well written sex scenes, this is definitely the book for you. Teal Ceagh does a great job of including many steamy scenes, but also writes enough plot to keep the story going.

I really enjoyed Alexander’s back story. Many times when an author puts a flashback in a book, I tend to get antsy to get back to present tense but this is not the case here. It is integral that we see Alexander’s and Mia’s relationship start and grow and I was greatly entertained to get their story. Teal Ceagh does a great job in a novella length book giving the reader an emotional connection to both Mia and Alexander. As I say that, I think Wyatt, the third in their trinity, gets left behind. I understand they can’t pick who is going to be part of their bond, but I just felt like we never really got to know Wyatt. He comes out of nowhere towards the end of the book and his part felt rushed and I think more background on him is definitely needed.

I am very interested to see where the story goes from here. We did not get a lot of the actual battle in this book, and I wonder how that will play out in the third book, Sera’s Gift.
