Imagines is the Latin plural for Imago, and the only thing better than one metamorphosis, is two.
Jack Brighton and Lawson Gale have been together for six months and are very much in love. Lawson’s work ensuring the survival of the Tillman Copper is demanding as ever, and Jack’s work with the regeneration of the bushfire-ravaged national park is just as hectic.
When Jack suggests they take a short trip, Lawson agrees. But then he is offered a two-week research position in tropical Queensland to help determine why the Ulysses butterfly is on the decline. Figuring they could combine work and pleasure, Jack and Lawson go on their first vacation together.
Working alongside renowned professor Piers Bonfils isn’t easy. But personal and professional differences aside, Lawson is offered a more permanent role in Queensland. Torn between his new life in Tasmania with Jack and a dying species of butterfly he feels compelled to save, Lawson has to decide where his fate lies.
But fate changes the rules. On a research expedition into the depths of the rainforest, suddenly it's not only the butterflies’ existence that hangs in the balance
A butterfly’s life cycle never changes. From larvae to imago, their course is plotted by design. Jack and Lawson need to determine where they stand, if they live through it. Because the only thing more incredible than one imago is two.

Imago (Book #1)
Review
The second book in the Imago series (or maybe it’s a duet?)
and this book starts six months after the last book ended.
Jack and Lawson are still very much together but still
living apart. Each knows though they are on the precipice of taking that next
step of meeting the parents, moving in together and maybe more? Jack is all for
this now but Lawson is still hesitant to take that step. When Lawson gets
another job request that could be a major step in his career the two combine a
holiday along with Lawson’s work in Queensland. This time it’s another variety
of butterfly that is under threat. Can Lawson save the day again?
This book runs with the same gorgeous and sweet romance of
Jack and Lawson. I kid you not these two are just so wonderful together. The connection
between them is undoubtable and a joy to read. There is little angst or
frustration to their love but the darker side of the story comes in an outside
threat and a brush with danger on a night time expedition. Jack is always there
to rescue his man!
The attention to detail and the research was amazing and you
can see the amount of work this author puts into her stories. I’m not a lover
of butterflies and this strange fear I have was one of the reasons it put me
off wanting to read but even I came to respect and adore Lawson’s work. Clever
stuff.
This was so romantic and lush and had me swooning again with
the outpouring of love and devotion between these two sweet men. For me though
the last part of the book moved this from a four star to a five star read as it
was so heart pounding and emotional. I had a big beaming smile on my face as it
came to that perfect ending. I was so sad to leave Jack and Lawson and cute as
pie Rosemary in their lovely home. I just wanted to stay there forever. Naw, so
blissful. Five Stars.
