Two hearts in the darkness…

Makenna James and Caden Grayson have been inseparable since the day they were trapped in a pitch-black elevator and found acceptance and love in the arms of a stranger. Makenna hopes that night put them on the path to forever—which can’t happen until she introduces her tattooed, pierced, and scarred boyfriend to her father and three over-protective brothers.

Must fight for love in the light…

Haunted by a childhood tragedy and the loss of his family, Caden never thought he’d find the love he shares with Makenna. But the deeper he falls, the more he fears the devastation sure to come if he ever lost her, too. When meeting her family doesn’t go smoothly, Caden questions whether Makenna deserves someone better, stronger, and just more…normal. Maybe they’re too different—and he’s far too damaged—after all…

Hearts in Darkness is one of my favorites books. I was ecstatic when I learned Laura Kaye was going to write a sequel. I knew it was going to be awesome. One of my favorite things about Laura's books is that she weaves into the romance an important topic too. In this case, panic attacks and depression. 

The last time we read about Makenna and Caden they had shared an incredibly intimate time in a broken elevator. Months later, they are still together and going strong. Caden still suffers from claustrophobia and anxiety. His new anxiety comes in the form of Thanksgiving and meeting Makenna's family. Caden still has self-doubts and doesn't feel worthy. Things get even more complicated when Makenna's ex-boyfriend is in attendance.

As with Hearts in Darkness, Love in the Light made me swoon a little bit. Caden had to deal with so much about himself before he was ready to feel worthy. It had to come from within. If anything, the one thing that bothered me is that he kept Makenna in the dark and it took him so long to get help.
Makenna was beyond understanding and supportive. She was a very strong character. I love that her family was supportive when it counted.

I hope we get more stories from the other characters soon.

Cliffhanger: No

4/5 Fangs


A complimentary copy was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.





“So Caden said you two met in an elevator,” the tattoo artist said to Makenna, amusement plain in his voice.
           
“We really did. We were trapped in it for over four hours,” Makenna said, smiling. It was a little weird to talk to someone she couldn’t look at, but she couldn’t move while he was working. “In my office building. I rode it just today.”

“That’s quite a way to meet someone,” Heath said with a chuckle. “How come nothing like that ever happens to me?”

“Maybe you don’t ride enough elevators,” Makenna said.
           
The tattoo machine pulled away from her skin. Heath laughed. “I guess I don’t,” he finally said, leaning back in.
           
The needles hit a sensitive spot along her spine that had Makenna grimacing. Originally, she’d been thinking of putting the piece on her shoulder, but when she’d decided on the bigger size, she thought it would look better in the center. Heath had warned her that the central placement meant inking over bone, which could hurt more, and it sure did.
           
Caden braced his elbows on his knees so he could lean closer. “Want to play twenty questions?” he asked.
           
She smiled, knowing he was trying to distract her and appreciating the heck out of the gesture. “Are there still questions left we haven’t asked each other?”
           
“Probably,” he said. “For example, I don’t think I’ve ever asked you your favorite sex position.”
           
“No laughing,” Heath said, as Makenna tried to hold back her humor. Heat filled her cheeks. “Also, TMI. However, I like TMI, so feel free to answer, Makenna.”
           
Since the needle was away from her skin, she did laugh that time. “Okay, so maybe there are questions we haven’t asked.” She winked at Caden as Heath got back to work. “And, to answer the question, the second part of the night on my floor.”
           
Caden’s gaze went molten. He flicked at the spider bite piercings with his tongue. And that had parts of her going molten, because she knew how freaking talented that tongue was.
           
“Yours?” she asked, arching an eyebrow.
