If you like brainy heroines and badass, brainy heroes, this book is for you! I enjoyed the emotional layers of this story as the heroine dealt with a painful and dangerous relationship.
This whole series is worth the read, but you can’t go wrong with Parker’s story! He’s a fantastic character and I was totally rooting for his HEA!
I loved reading Parker’s story. It was so cool to get the story behind the guy who’s behind the scenes running everything- besides Jared anyway. Lexi was awesome too as she was coming back into her own after being in an abusive relationship. Together they’ve been an unstoppable team for years, in the hacker world. Once their worlds collide there is nothing Parker wouldn’t do for Lexi, and I loved it.
Black Dawn by Cristin Harber has become one of my top reads!
I first discovered Cristin when I read Winter’s Heat, the first book in her Titan Series. Every book in the series brings you hot alpha heros and their sassy as brass heroines, intrigue, action, steamy sex and true romance.
Let me tell you, Black Dawn did not disappoint. Parker Black, the eyes and ears of Titan, spends his time behind computer screens directing the special ops team the best way out of dangerous situations. However, don’t believe for a moment that Parker is a typical computer nerd. He is a former marine and is as well trained in combat tactics as his fellow team members. Parker just has the added skill of being analytical and a computer genius. Oh, he is as sexy as all get out too, with black hair and dark blue eyes, rippling muscles and over 6 feet tall, add in his brain power and Parker is the whole package of an alpha male! The perfect book boyfriend.
His heroine is a cute sassy blonde, Lexi, who happens to be his friend, Matt’s fiancée. Lexi is in an emotionally and physically abusive relationship with Matt and wants out desperately. Cristin did a wonderful job in addressing this subject that many women remain silent about because of the fear they live with every day.
One day, Parker is a witness to Matt abusing Lexi and takes action. She is battered and bruised, physically and emotionally. He sees that and decides to take care of her, he brings her to his home. However, unknown to Parker is that Lexi is hiding a secret. She doesn’t appear to be who she seems to be, and it is this that wreaks havoc for them both. Soon Parker and Lexi become deeply involved with the underground world of computer hackers, dual personas, stolen computers, and terrorists.
This is what makes a Cristin Harber book exciting and a page turner.
I loved Black Dawn. Parker and Lexi are ideal for one another. Word of caution, Parker Black is extremely addictive!
Cristin Harber does it again! A great read!
Oh my word!!!! Gotta catch my breath…. what a ride!
Parker and Lexi!! Oh my goodness!!! These two totally blew me out of the water!! I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect, seeing that while Parker has been around since the beginning of the series, he was the quieter brains/tech guy behind the ops for the most part and we didn’t hear a whole lot from him. There’s a bit of a different feel to this story from the rest of the series — and that’s what makes this book amazing in it’s own right!
Cristin Harber has yet to fail in delivering on all the emotions! She captured my attention from the beginning and provided the sweet, the heart-pounding, the heat, the tension, the tears, the comfort, the surprising twists and turns. Parker left no doubt in my mind the kind of Titan man he was, but in a more unique kind of way. And when it’s time for his hackles to rise to get your attention and protect his girl – better watch out!! Lexi burrowed deep into my heart quickly with her mix of worldly innocence. They complimented each other with their differences and similarities – basically, they were simply perfect for each other! Meant to be!
You do not want to miss out on experiencing Parker and Lexi’s story. It’s beauty. It’s Titan.
Along with the main story, there were several memorable scenes with favorite characters from previous stories – I giggled and swooned a lot with them!
Just finished this one. Always enjoy the Titan books, but Black Dawn is now one of my favorites!
