“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. … 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.

Dusk by Aleatha Romig takes us to an enticing, intoxicating and exotic world of love and suspense.I was so captivated and intrigued by this sensual and soulful love story.
This story is set in the Sparrow world. But you can read this without reading the other stories. Sterling Sparrow is the king of Chicago underworld that he rules with his friends who are more like family. Reid Murray is one of them. Lorna is his wife and his life. So when she gets kidnapped, Reid will set the world on fire to find her.
This story goes back and forth in timeline. So we get the whole backstory of how Reid and Lorna fall in love and they defied the odds to end up together. And that part was swoonworthy and sweet and heartfelt. Their connection was magnetic and palpable. I could feel the raw intensity in my heart. Lorna is such an amazing woman who has scars and had to fight for her place in Sparrow world. But she has so much fire and strength. And my heart melts for Reid. Bossy. Protective. Dominating. Uber possessive. Just the kind of alpha I dream about.
Another part was set in present. That was violent, suspenseful, mysterious and drama filled. Sparrow world is dangerous and deceptive. I adore Lorna so much more as she was pushed into darkness, manipulated and tortured. But she still didn’t give up on her friends and family. Reid’s vulnerability broke my heart. He was totally lost and crazy without Lorna and the depth of his love was so amazing. That ending left me stunned and I need the next book now!
Aleatha Roming put a spell on me and won my heart and soul in Dusk. An explosive and exciting combination of passion, drama and love.
I reviewed an early copy voluntarily
Danger’s First Kiss – If you want to see how Reid and Lorna meet before diving into Dusk, then be sure to check out this prequel novella.
The Sparrow web is a tangled one. There are always a million questions before we get any answers. We get to see the beginning of Reid and Lorna’s relationship and how she was accepted into the Sparrow webs. This book had my heart racing and brought forth many emotions. I can not wait to see where the story goes.
Absolutely amazing! The escape I needed. Aleatha has done it again. There is nothing that she has written that I haven’t loved.
As much as the 4 guys (Sterling, Reid, Mason and Patrick) are the Sparrow organization, Lorna is part of their backbone. She has been there, with them, mostly from the start.
Lorna was kidnapped by accident. A different target was intended. But the drugs she was given and the slanderous words spoken has her questioning her own sanity as well as questioning whether or not she is a burden/fits in to the outfit as whole.
I loved the way this story unfolded. It had flashback moments of how Lorna and Reid became the couple they are today. It was heartbreaking and beautiful to see the journey they took. The ending will have you dropping your jaw.
Can’t wait to read the next installment!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

I am so happy to be back in the Sparrow world. If you have read the first two series of books then you are just as excited as I am and I couldn’t wait to get Reid’s story. You also know that your going to have to go through three books to get to the end and this one certainly starts with a huge bang. The entire time I have loved Reid and thought he was the mystery man of the group. Now you get to find out a lot more about him and his wife Lorna. Lorna is the sister of Mason and she was in the other books too. She is the mother figure of the group and has taken care of these men until they started falling in love with different women. Now its time for their story and it delivers in a huge way. I think my heartrate didn’t slow down the entire time reading this book. We start with Lorna and Aranae missing and the men are besides them self and off to rescue them and deliver death to the ones who took them. Well, I have no idea who took them. I have no idea how this is going to play out and I don’t want to give away anything in the story. You just need to get it and enjoy the wild, rocky ride that will have your heart in your throat.
WOW!!!! What a beginning non stop action fast paced and heart stopping I could not put this down my head was every where saying no no, go go and alot of OMG’S this is not happening oh my heart.
Reid I always thought was the cool and calm but this right here and having his and Lornas’ story is going to be fierce and deadly the connection and love they share is beyond anything you realize from normal this is true love and beyond.
The writing is amazing every single one and is memorizing to the point you forget everything else , I truly love these two and I cannot wait for more.
Absolutely incredible!! A must read! I can’t believe we are coming to the end of this series. I have been waiting for Lorna and Reid’s story and I am not disappointed. This book is full of suspense, drama, answer’s, and yet your left in an extreme book hangover! I don’t know how she does it but….have you been Aleatha’d?!
Lorna and Reid’s story wowed me from its prologue and now with the first installment of Dangerous Web series, Dusk, I was definitely stunned by the head on chilling development among the Sparrow families. Can’t wait for the next unpredictable segment. Definitely, a must read.

Once again, I find myself enamored with the Sparrow world, this time with Reid’s and Lorna’s story. Both has made numerous appearances in the previous series but now Dusk delves into their lives-they met each other, how they meet and fell in love, and how they supported each other with Mason’s death. The reader also also discovers how Sterling felt about her both in the beginning and then when she wove herself into the Sparrow empire.
Reid finds himself lost when works takes a detour into his personal life. He finds out what he is willing to do when it comes to protecting his wife. Backing him up are his friends and all the Sparrow resources available.
I felt like Dusk was giving the reader all the back-ground information of Reid’s and Lorna’s life and then just began to move to the build-up of what is to come in the next two books. I got so into reading the book, that I didn’t even realize I had reached the end of the book until I tried to turn the page and I looked down to see I was at 100% percent. Fans of Aleatha will not be disappointed in this newest series. I love looking-in at the world of Sparrow. Aleatha Romig
The first in Reid and Lorna’s Web, and boy oh boy, it hits the ground running. Anyone familiar with the Sparrow world knows how it goes, but if this is your first, you might be surprised at the pace. Once you read the first words, you better hold on tight. The questions and suspense, the mystery and conflict are consuming. The breadcrumbs are left to make our minds spin, while small pieces of the puzzle are starting to be fit together. What we have here is just the tip of the iceberg, I can’t wait for Dark~
Get ready to be tangled up once again into the Web of Sparrow! Danger is on their doorstep once again in Dusk, the first book of the Dangerous Web Trilogy.
This story is fast paced, engaging with so many questions left to be answered. So get ready, this story is not over and I am thrilled that we are heading out on another exciting, crazy ride filled with intrigue and suspense.
Have you been Aleatha’d yet?
I thought that this was an amazing read and great kick-off to this exciting new trilogy. This book has a captivating storyline, compelling characters, a strong, thrilling storyline and an equally strong romantic tale. Lorna and Reid are incredible characters that are lovable and easy to root for. The secondary cast of characters is stellar and really help to flesh out this would and have you very intrigued about learning more about them. This book offers a consuming combination of suspense, drama, romance, emotion, action and tension that will have you feeling anxious and staying up later than you should just to keep reading. This is book one of three though, so yeah, try to prepare for that cliffhanger and the wait for the next book, Dark. This is my candid, volitional review.
Where does one begin to review the latest installment of the first book in the Sparrow World. Lorna And Reid’s story is truly amazing. First I know that Aleatha says you don’t have to read the first three series in the Sparrow world, Sparrow and Araneae’s trilogy and Patrick and Maddie’s story and Mason and Laura’s story who Mason is Lorna’s brother but in this first book in the last trilogy in the Sparrow world I know all the people and even though this is Lorna and Reid’s story everyone is in this book. So with that being said, this book starts off with a bang. Lorna and Araneae are kidnapped. They are being held in some bunker.. The only thing I will share it appears that they have kidnapped the wrong woman .I do not want to give away any spoilers so all I will say is that this book has twists and turns and does end on somewhat of a happy ending but no resolution for the kidnapping and then there is a major twist at the end. People outside the Tower should know not to mess with the the men inside the Tower because they will go to any lengths to protect their women and seek revenge. Absolutely awesome and cannot wait for the next book Dark. If I could give it ten stars I would. Aleatha you have done it again. BRAVO!! from your avid fan.
I am utterly captivated by the Sparrow World Ms. Romig has created.
I have loved every single book so far.
Dusk is no exception.
Centered around Lorna and Reid.
Although the rest of the group are a big part of this book.
I have adored Lorna from the start.
Growing up poor. She has worked really hard to make a better life for herself.
Not expecting or taking handouts from anyone.
While Mason would send her money every month.
She never touched it.
But continued to work tirelessly.
Until she was brought into the Tower and the Sparrow family.
Still wanting to be useful and do want she can.
She was the nurturer and caretaker for Sterling,Mason,Patrick and Reid.
Lorna brought in the brightness and cheer to the Tower.
I loved her strong character,her morals and her loving welcoming nature.
I also respected her loyalty and love of Reid and her friends.
What an amazing resilient woman she is!
Reid is every females dream man.
Not because of his good looks,his toned body or his confidence.
Although those don’t hurt to have lol
No it is for his sense of commitment.
And his unwavering love and support for his woman.
Even when he was faced with one of most important decisions of his life.
He chose Lorna.
Reid is one hundred percent devoted to her.
Their spiritual and emotional connection was undeniable.
The bond they have with one another is absolutely incredible.
Everything with them and between is enviable.
The plot is gripping and intense.
I was on the edge of my seat.
And my heart pounding hard.
That ending is a showstopper!
I read slow and savored every word. Aleatha Romig is building up to something, she always is. Her ability to intertwine her stories is unlike anyone else. Every little detail needs to be absorbed because somehow, someway in the next book or 10 books later you’ll slap your forehead and think “how does she do that?”
Everything in the Sparrow world feels like it is coming to a head and I can’t wait to see how many more a-ha moments I’ll have.
I can officially say that I have been “Aleatha’d”. This was my first book written by this author and with her Sparrows characters and will definitely not be my last. Holy heck this story sucked me in and spit me out. Dusk is Reid and Lorna’s first story in this trilogy. This story is not for the faint of heart, as there is some violence, but ultimately it is love that will overcome everything. You feel the highs and lows so distinctly, the despair leaches off the pages as does the love, trust and commitment between the friends.
As the first book of this Dangerous Web concludes, we end in Aleatha’s infamous cliff hanger…So much unanswered questions, yet you know they will be eventually answered not before more unanswered questions will arise. We follow the love story of Reid and Lorna, yet we get more than we ask for with additional sub stories of the other Sparrow men. Are we really at Dusk or are we in the Dark???
Dusk is a wonderful combination of white-knuckle reading as you try and figure out the who, what and whys and a relaxing, romantic atmosphere as you learn more about Reid and Lorna’s relationship.
Aleatha is the master of putting you on the edge of your seat as you delve deeper into Sparrow’s world and my first gut reaction after reading chapter one was “OMG Aleatha what have you done?!”
Dusk is a thrilling page turner and I guarantee you that you will not want to let go of your reader until the very last page.
Wow! Another amazing read by Aleatha Romig! Twist and turns will keep you hooked from the beginning to end. That ending will have you begging for more! Can’t wait to read Dark!
Ahhh! It’s so exciting to read about Reid & Lorna. I love the reminiscing and backstory. I do wish there were a bit more details and action in the unfolding present day events, but gosh, that ending! You’ll be blown away!!
I have officially been Aleatha’d! This is my first time reading Aleatha Romig and my mind couldn’t stop whirling and spinning, it was officially blown!
I was kidnapped, dragged and thrown into this story as the words bounced around in my mind. Dusk is dripping with description I was right there living in the nightmare with these characters.
Dusk walks us through Reid and Lorna’s relationship in bursts of how their relationship grew into husband and wife while we experience the frustration of their present.
Will they ever be by each other’s side again? The story continues in Dark and finishes in Dawn.
