A cold and arrogant criminal. A Billionaire’s Daughter. An arranged marriage.
Maria
Being the daughter of a billionaire you would think my life had always been easy.
But no, not for one second has my life ever been easy.
And now I’m being forced into a marriage with my father’s right-hand man, and if I refuse him I stand to lose my inheritance.
And while I find him extremely handsome, … stand to lose my inheritance.
And while I find him extremely handsome, it’s the darkness that I sense in him that both frightens and calls to me.
Damien
My boss wants to give me his daughter.
Sounds simple, doesn’t it?
If only that were true.
His rivals have threatened her life and now he wants me to take her as my wife.
To love, honor, and protect her for the rest of my days.
I want her.
But how can I protect her from myself?
How can I honor her when the darkness inside me demands that I defile and break her?
Each book in the Boyne Valley Club Series is based on a different couple but in the same world.

Absolutely nothing like it. This book was incredible. I fell in love with these characters. Vi Carter brought these characters to life in a very vivid way. Damien is a character from the previous book, Dark, but Maria is a new character. Damien is suppose to protect Maria, but not lay a hand on her. Damien does his job well, until he does not.
This book contains some pretty hot scenes, but that is not all. There is lies, deception, and suspense as well.
I definitely mean it, when I say, I could not put this book down. The storyline had me turning the pages to find out what was next.

This was a dark but very thrilling and suspenseful book. I loved reading this story and the twists and secrets that were reveled made it even better.

This was a good read that had me intrigues from the beginning. We are first introduced to Maria who comes off as this stuck up obnoxious spoiled rich girl trying to pull a tantrum on her husband. Then as we read some more, we find out that her whole life has been laid out in front of her so she is in an arranged marriage to a guy that acts like he can’t stand her. Damien is this tough guy that agrees to marry Maria in exchange he gets help from her father to start up his security firm and he secretly is attracted to Maria but can’t do anything about it. Can these two fights their attraction to each other or will they doom themselves because they can’t resist each other? This read is full of twists, turns, and mysteries that I never saw coming and it kept glued in the whole time.
Darker is the second book in The Boyne Club series by Vi Carter. If you love to read books filled with intense drama, lots of trauma, suspense, twist and turns you have found a book that offers you all that. Damien and Maria are in an arranged marriage and their personalities are constantly clashing. This is a hot, steamy read that I couldn’t put down but all of Ms. Carter’s books are like that. I highly recommend this book. Each book in this series is about different couples so there are no cliffhangers.

This was an excellent read. Book two of the series certainly didn’t disappoint.
This is a rollercoaster of secrets and lies.
An arranged marriage with a twist!! And what a twist this was.
Vi certainly has a way of writing these dark romance novels and keeping you captivated, she draws you in and then you just can’t put the book down.
The story is one that draws you in. It is a bit dark but beautifully written. Maria and Damien have chemistry that is felt. Maria was a bit demanding at times that makes it harder to connect with but you can also understand why she is doing it from the reaction of Damien. They both grow throughout the story and it adds a really nice element to it. Even though this is part of a series I feel that it can be read as a stand-alone. It is most definitely worth a must read.
A bit of a confusing mess with broadly unlikable characters
I double checked if I did not miss a first book in a duet about 2 to 4 chapters into Darker. Although part of a series, each book is based on a different couple. I can say this – you really have to keep the book blurp in mind to be able to follow the story as the book starts about a month after the blurp. On to the characters: Maria was a tantrum throwing brat that was really unlikable. TSTL does come to mind although, as she doesn’t “know” she is in danger, this gets excused. A totally contrived plot point in my opinion. And Damian? He came across as a whiny wimp. Although some of the steamy scenes had a bit of rough play the rest of the book just felt like a muddle through with very little character growth (even the back story felt flat). I did finish the book for the suspense element and I do believe Maria and Damian deserve each other, therefore I am satisfied with their HEA.

Damien and Maria story was different. Damien is her father right hand man. Kane Maria’s father has Damien marry her to keep her save. But he is not allowed to touch her. Maria on the other hand she doesn’t know this and she doesn’t understand why Damien won’t touch her. Damien can’t hold out too long, he starts to fall for her big time. You will have to read the book to find out what happens next
This book is for sure dark! Fantastic read. Must get! You’ll love the chemistry between the characters and the hot, steamy relationship. Very dark. Keeps you on your toes! Read the series!
Book 2 in this brilliant series from this wonderful author. This is Maria and Damien’s story and it’s a fantastic read. A rollercoaster of emotions and some really well written twists and turns in it. A fantastic read.
