I got one taste of him and now I can’t stop.I know I should stay away from Case Hammett. First, there are the rumors: killer, thief, bastard. Then, there’s the fact that he’s a player and an a**hole.He’s notorious for a reason: handsome face, muscular body, enough money to own the entire town. The confident and cocky bastard is totally all-wrong for me, and I should be very afraid.But I take a … very afraid.
But I take a job cleaning his house to help support my sick mother against my better judgement. And I was right to be nervous: he loves getting me down on all fours to scrub his floor. He’s always teasing, his hands on my skin, his cocky grin pushing my limits.
Things seem fine on the surface, but there’s a darkness in his house that I can’t escape.
I’m starting to think the rumors are true.
But when his hands brush against my skin, I don’t care about anything else. I just need more of his taste, more of his body.
He corners me in his bedroom and asks a simple question: Do you want me to take care of you?
I’m terrified, but I think the answer is yes. If I can’t escape, I might not leave this house ever again.

I liked this book, I think too often the term “dark romance” gets overused and I end up reading an erotic romance that isn’t really dark at all. I liked this one because it truly was dark. Eden gets a cleaning job at Hemmet’s End, the home of the Hammett’s who are the richest family in town. There has always been rumors of what goes on at Hammett’s end, like little girls disappearing, murders, the house being haunted and more.
Case Hammett is now the head of the family and is about ten years older than Eden and very handsome. He starts telling her how much he desires her right away and the filthy things he would like to do to her. Within a few days he is doing some of those things and she is following his every command.
Though his sister and his butler are very strange and Eden gets very odd vibes from them, and she doesn’t know if she can completely trust Case either. The book is a pretty quick read and has some very steamy sex scenes.
This was a freebie, and it was a little weird not gonna lie. BB Hamel like to flirt with the crazy characters, but there are honest to goodness sociopaths in this one! Kept me on the edge of my seat though! Happy Reading!
Steamy suspense. Love this author. She can really squeeze a crazy plot arc into short page amounts and make you feel fulfilled. Edge comes home from college with a degree and loans but to take care of her ailing mother. She takes on a house cleaning position at Hammett End. Where loads of rumors have been sprouted from all through the small middle of no where town. But that’s just the type of town it is and it is a killer pay check. Instant attraction between Case and Eden leads to some quite debauchery filled scenes. This dark romance follows Case trying to keep the small town afloat after all the horrific things his family has put him through. And while he is still trying to keep the darkness at bay. Deals with real mental issues and an family that preys’. Eden helps him see there is a light to the darkness and he can escape.
This definitely has a dark element that I really didn’t expect. It adds another level of intensity to the story as well as being creative and romantic. The characters are interesting and intriguing to say the least and that includes the small town of Pine Grove. You won’t be able to put the book down. I recommend this dark romance especially for those who enjoy a bit of a scare.
Can there be truth to rumors?
Eden has had to return to her home town to care for her ill mother. She has a degree but no one is hiring except the Hammett family. The creepy family that everyone talks about but no one knows. However Eden is desperate and will take anything. Just how desperate is she?
Case is the head of the Hammett family and he’s trying to keep everything together. He knows that their mill is the only thing keeping the town above water, but things are getting hard. He’s also keeping secrets. Will Eden pay the price for the family’s secrets?
Small towns are notorious for holding onto something, whether it is correct or not. Pine Grove is a just such a small town where rumors, no matter how they started, no matter how close to the truth they are, are still hanging about one family. Dark and tormented secrets loom over Case, the son in this family. Part of these rumors include him, in an even darker side to the stories.
School bills adding up, a family member needing some help are the two reasons Eden answers the ad in the paper for the house cleaning job at the infamous estate of Case and his family. Sure, she has heard the rumors, but needing money for school and her mom, she ignores those.
Eden quickly learns that not all is what is seems. People who have dark sides also can have bigger hearts. Case and Eden quickly realize they are unable to ignore their feelings. Odd and eerie things begin to occur, and little by little the dark side to the rumors of that family and that house appear. There is a force that is trying to ruin the only good Case has had in his life, however the power of Eden and Case together are stronger.
Twists all throughout the book keep you turning the page to find out what is going to happen next. Lots of steam in this book, not a dull moment. It does have a little bit of an open ending, in the sense of one of the people in this book will make appearances in others. But a happy ending for Case and Eden, hands down.
