Okay, 4 stars for Deacon and Luke, but I took off .25 because it's short and I demand something longer. Hear me Jen please :)


I really, it was adorable and I liked to see how the two of them were when they first interacted with each other. I think everyone who read the series and enjoyed it read it. It's a quick read and it just puts a smile on your face. :)

Luke y Deacon, ellos deberían tener una saga, son personajes entrañables, muy divertidos, con su propia problemática, hay material 🥺🙏...

Esta es una historia, muy corta, que relata el "primer encuentro" entre estos dos.

Las cuatro estrellas van porque los adoro, pero en realidad aquí no pasa nada, solo es vistazo, mega chiquito, pero yo quiero saber como fue el primer beso, cuando Aiden se entero, que desiciones tomaron debido a que Luke era un mestizo, algooo, denme algo porfavor 😭😭

En serio, ¿por qué debe ser tan corto? ¿Por qué no tenemos derecho a conocer COMO Deacon dejó las fiestas, drogas, alcohol, su porqué para parar con esa clase de vida?

Luke es muy lindo, a mi me encantó cuando en Deidad le soltó ese precioso discurso a Alex que le hizo a abrir los ojos. Es un chaval achuchable. Deacon es sexy, diferente a otros, y está roto.

Los dos se conocen en ese relato donde rebosan química, pero queda precipitado que con eso ya sientan que van a enamorarse. Lo que no me creo nada es el cambio radical de Deacon, que pasó de drogarse y etc a ser chico sano al minuto de seguir a Luke).

YO NECESITO LIBRO DE AMBOS.

Io AMO Deacon!
Meriterebbe una serie intera e non 3 misere pagine di un ebook!
La storia è DECISAMENTE TROPPO BREVE.
Deacon e Luke sembrano essere una coppia fantastica, ma personalmente il fratellino di Aiden potrebbe tenere testa persino ad Apollo! 🙈
(lo so Ship impossibile ma io ci spero lo stesso). 😁

Ok, so I thought that this book would be longer. Like Daimon and Elixir kind of long and here I was looking for this damn book in kindle store, not realizing that Jennifer has posted it on Wattpad and is only one page long. 😅

While I absolutely have no problem with same-sex relationships in real life, it is not something I look for in my books. But Luke and Deacon are simply too adorable for words to not have a lengthy novella of their very own. That being said, while short, this story was sort of perfect. I loved seeing how Luke and Deacon started their relationship, though I really, really would like to have seen more (like what did they get up in that one time in the library while they were "studying" or what they were doing in the dark while in the sensory deprivation chamber - yes I know, my head is totally in the gutter).

Cea mai scurtă 'carte' citită în viața mea. Mi-ar fi plăcut să primim o poveste mai lungă despre cei doi, nu doar două pagini 🥲

Oh how I've wanted something of a story about Deacon and Luke. I would've loved some more pages.
But I'll take what I can get.

"I think I can like you."
"I think I don't care."
"I think you do"
"I think you're trouble."
"The good kind. Or at least that's what's I've been told."
"We'll see about that."

And then Luke smiled. No lip twitch. No grin. All even, white teeth. A real smile.

O yeah, he could really like this guy.

A lot.

Holy hell, that was absolutely sensational but too bloody short !

Who knew Deacon was such a promiscuous little minx? I love this little insight into how we flirted his way into Luke's heart.

His brazen words, cocky attitude and bold moves would make for a killer full-length novel!

emm i feel like i shouldn’t rate anything less than 5 pages. i don’t understand why this is included in the series and classifies as a “book”.

The feels and the memories with these two. So glad we still have one more Titan novel with both Deacon and Luke (and the whole gang) to properly say goodbye to them.

Way too short...but I loved it! Deacon is a character I would love to know more about so this story would be a great addition to this fantastic world that Jennifer has created. Reading how he became the Deacon we know and love and even more would be great. Especially how he and Luke came to be.

Ahh! I loved this! Seeing Deacon and Luke meet was ... definitely how I pictured it going down. Deacon with his sarcastic mouth and cocky attitude and Luke trying to play it cool but really, unwillingly impressed with Deacon's boldness.

Yes, this was a great short, short piece that will satisify the Deacon/Luke fans' cravings (well, for about 3 seconds and then they are going to want more, but oh well).

Thanks JLA for this little addition to the Covenant world!

*3.5-4 stars*
Deacon had me grinning during his quick first encounter with Luke after a night of debauchery he could't remember in any detail. It made me feel very nostalgic about the Covenant series in a very good way. I'm not sure if author Jennifer L. Armentrout plans to write a full length novella about these two, but I sure hope she does one day. I would so buy and read that!
