Review
(By Cindy)

Dark is book two in the Dangerous Web series by Aleatha Romig, and it picks up right where Dusk left off.

Dangerous Web is Reid and Lorna's story, and, as its name implies, there's definitely some "dark" themes here, but in true Aleatha fashion, she had me turning page after page to keep up with the angst and grasping, albeit somewhat in vain, for an HEA. It's not uncommon for me to have to sit an Aleatha book aside and give myself time to breathe - her writing is just. that. good. And, also true to what readers have come to expect from this author, Dark has left us hanging, anxiously await the Dawn.

Five Stars!

Strangers to lovers, who don't know they're enemies...   Raven Donovan isn’t looking for a relationship. She’s married to her job and vice president of her company.

With his latest conquest under his belt, he should be flying high. But as much as he enjoys the thrill of the hunt, firing people takes a toll on him. So he heads to the beach for some alone time, never expecting to find a half-naked, dark-haired beauty in his rental.   With a storm raging outside, Raven and Jack end up sharing more than just the house.

Excerpt from Claim Me Now

Jack had never been so grateful for central heating as when they stepped back into the house from the biting nor’easter. Even the dog had the good sense to stay out only long enough to do her business then come straight back inside.

Raven’s jaw trembled. “We’d better g-g-et these w-w-et clothes off before we c-c-catch cold. L-l-laundry room.” She turned and sprinted for the small room off the rear of the kitchen.
She shed her jacket, then tried to peel her soaked sweatshirt off her body but got stuck mid-way through. “Um…h-help.” Her arms were tangled in the wet cloth above her head. 

Jack tossed his own sweater and T-shirt into the open washer, then freed her from her sweatshirt. 
“T-thanks,” she said, then whipped off her freezing tank, leaving her topless.  

Jack barely noticed, since he was too busy removing his drenched sweatpants which had chilled him straight to the bone. By the time they were in the washer along with the rest of the clothes, Raven was fighting to free her legs from her jeans. Jack reached down and gave her an extra hand, stripping them off her skin. 

Raven’s teeth rattled but she still managed a smile. “Th-thank you.” Her shoulders were hunched and her arms were tight against her body, her wrists crossed at her breasts. She shook like a leaf in a hurricane.

“Come here.” He pulled her to his chest and wrapped himself around her, letting his chin gently rest against the top of her head. Breathing deep, he drank her in. She was soft and smelled like rain. And though she was so much smaller than he, and her features so petite, in his arms, she felt like she was made to fit against his body. His wide palms stroked the length of her back. 

Raven exhaled and relaxed into him, releasing her arms. On a sigh, she threaded her hands around his waist and nuzzled her face against his left pec. He imagined she was listening to his heartbeat, and wondered if it quickened as their skin heated against each other’s. 
 
She tilted her head to meet his gaze. “You’re so warm.” Her brown eyes searched his.

“As warm as you.” God, she was gorgeous. 

“Kiss me.” 

Aaand there went his plan to keep things platonic. Together-but-separate was impossible with this woman. He wanted to be around her. In her. Whatever it took.

DUSK by Aleatha Romig - RELEASE BLAST

Release Date: November 24 

“When your whole world is shaken from all the risks we have taken, dance with me. Dance with me into the colors of dusk.” ~ Ben Harper 

I’ve served my country, a man, and a cause. I’ve given my whole being while at the same time finding its true meaning. There was no way for me to know that the day I met the men who were to become my best friends they would introduce me to the love of my life. 

Fiery, red hair and hypnotizing, emerald eyes caught my attention. 
Creamy soft skin, a stark contrast to mine, seduced my body. 
Strength, devotion, and determination stole my heart.

I am Reid Murray and I’ll kill without regret to once again dance in the dusk with my wife. 

This war has only begun. I won’t rest until it’s done.

Review
(by Cindy)

“Dusk” is book one of the Dangerous Web trilogy by Aleatha Romig, and it’s the story of Reid and Lorna (FINALLY!)

I have been waiting for this, but isn’t it just like Aleatha to give readers everything they didn’t expect or know they wanted. I loved the flashbacks providing insight into the evolution of Lorna and Reid, but also the acceptance of Mason and Sterling. Those warm and fuzzy chapters gave the reader a respite from the chaos, because “Dusk” is intensely thrilling and chilling.

Kidnapping. Torture. Death. My nerves were on high alert from the opening scene, and it literally never let up. All the Sparrows are here – Patrick and Madeline, Mason and Laurel, Sterling and Araneae – and not just in supporting roles. The whole Sparrow “family” is compromised and fully involved from page one. Yes, there’s a cliffhanger, but we’ve come to expect those from Aleatha’s trilogies. I can’t wait for my angst to continue with “Dark,” book two of the trilogy.

5 thrilling stars!

Book Blurb:

I always knew I was different.

From a young age, my mind has been plagued with things only I could see. Some hauntingly beautiful, others completely terrifying. Never knowing if these visions were real or just hallucinations, I learned how to lock them down and ignore them. I learned to take solace in the relative anonymity of city life and find peace in the rainy days my city of Seattle is known for.

But just when I think my life is getting on track and my dreams are achievable, a moment of weakness causes me to learn a hard and fast lesson.

My entire existence has been a lie.

Now I’m faced with a new reality that’s as implausible as it is fantastical. Filled with realms and veils, light and dark, fae and daemons, gods and angels—things I don’t understand but am forced to acknowledge. It doesn’t help that the man teaching me about my unique gifts is the gorgeously handsome Carrick Byrne, one of Seattle’s richest and most powerful men. He intimidates, annoys, and intrigues me all at the same time. I don’t trust him and yet there’s no one else to help me.

No longer certain who to put my faith in, what to believe, or how I fit into it all, one revelation is clear…

The world as I know it will never be the same again.
