I was drawn in from the first page. I really enjoyed the characters and the story progression. And the swoon worthy Jason.

*****5 DANGEROUSLY DARK STARS*****
***WARNING…the contents of this read are at times extremely violent. If you’re a victim of physical/sexual abuse; read with caution***
This is my first journey through the intense words of storytelling by L A Cataldo! A 5 STAR experience that had me on the edge of my seat! It wouldn’t surprise me to if this author had difficulty writing some of these horrible scenes; however (for me personal) it left a lasting impact. AMAZING and POWERFUL portrayal of an extremely dangerous situation!
Isabella (Bella) Lovino has left her family behind; running and hiding from her “Dark Past.”
Jason Hart carries many memories of the woman that never caught his eye. Now he has the opportunity to rectify his previous short comings! Will he be able to save her from her “Dark Past?”
A suspenseful, hot, thrilling read…
…..with a sexy suit wearing alpha…
…..with dirty mouth…
Intriguing plot, the characters felt real..
…love this story…
This was a really suspenseful and intriguing book.
I have read lots of books with stalking and crazy ex boyfriends but I do believe David takes the award for the craziest and most evil.
I loved Bella’s spirit and determination to go on with her life after everything that she went through. I also felt the author portrayed her mental state in a very realistic way.
I loved how Jason was so in love with Bella that he would do whatever it took to protect her.
I highly recommend this book!
Isabella and Jason’s story is a lot longer than Bella realizes at first. She is running from a past Jason is not aware of. Once it’s determined her life is in jeopardy, the suspense and intrigue grow. Thank you L.A. Cataldo for the epilogue. I always enjoy knowing how the future plays out.
Dark Past is a short but action packed book. Filled with love, lust, and plenty of suspense, it feels like a much longer book packed into a smaller one. Bella is a woman haunted by her past and ex-boyfriend. As she hides out in New York, she meets Jason. She doesn’t remember but the two of them have a history. Just as their relationship is gearing up, her ex begins slinkin around again, looking for opportunities. And he’s out for blood. I enjoyed reading this book. I especially enjoyed the suspense.
Isabella is trying to escape her past and moves away from everyone. On the way to her new job she notices a handsome man who she later finds out is Jason her new boss.
When her nightmares return she tries to shake them off but continually bumps into Jason Hart. Deciding to head out with her new friend Jen.
Whenever her past triggers her Jason is always there to help her through it, after a steamy kiss, Bella decides she may have reconsider her non-dating policy.
When Bella’s nightmares turn real Jason is there to save her. With the worst happening to Bella – Jason confesses that he knew her in college and she never noticed him.
They go through so much with working through Bella’s past and seeming to be happy until her past again catches up with her. After Jason decides that they won’t be apart again for anything, Bella finally gets her happily ever after. Great read full of suspense and romance.
What a great book! Bella and Jason were a great couple. I love how they have a history even if she doesn’t remember right away.
Bella is trying to make it in the city. She can’t look back at her past. Only forward. Until her past collides with her future. Will Bella be able to survive it?
Jason couldnt believe his luck when he finds Bella again. She doesn’t seem to remember him. It isn’t until he finds a letter that he digs into her past more. Can he protect her and keep her safe?
A great read. A few parts were hard (emotionally) to read but the author did a great job. Will definitely be reading more of hers.
This is a really good romantic suspense. I really love that there is a past with the characters and the way it wove into the story. It’s an edge of your seat kind of read and a few teary eyed scenes. You just have to know what is going to happen next. I really liked these two characters attraction and the romance that comes of it. Jason is just a swoonworthy guy.
I think it’s around the halfway mark that something happened and my stomach dropped and I was like “OMG OMG OMG” and just had to keep reading.
All in all an enjoyable read. I found it a little fast paced and would have liked it to slow down just a little. But a good suspense filled romance. I look forward to more from this author.
Bella is being stalked by her crazy ex-boyfriend, so she moves to New York and meets Jason, not realizing she has already met him before. What I loved about this story, you get exactly what the description says. I thought Jason and Bella were great together. I thought Bella was sweet and sincere, Jason was protective and brilliant and flirty. They were really perfect for each other. I would have loved a dual POV for this book. I think that would have made this absolutely perfect.
This was a short story not to long. Isabella ran to New York. She needed to hid from her past. But starting over isn’t easy. She finally lands a job. As she goes to her 1st day of work, she sees the most handsome man she has ever seen. Then she falls literally in front of him. She’s such a clumsy person, daydreaming about a guy she seen on the street. Come to find out that man is her new boss. Will she be able to get over her dark past and live again?
Good story, I enjoyed reading it.
This is a first time in reading anything from this author. The allure of mystery was a big factor it also one of the things that kept me in it also. You will become intwined in Isabella and Jason’s lives especially when theirs meet. The air of mystery hangs over them thanks to a dark cover one used for hiding too. Heat slowly seeps in too fusing us more into this then we expected. Carefully you are pulled to the edge by drama but you are already in it until the end.
