I always knew that I was obsessed.
With him.
With the monster that he could become.

This may not be for everyone, but as dark and gritty as this book is, ultimately it is a story of redemption and the power of love. Dylan and Miranda are both deeply damaged by people they trusted and loved and see themselves as defiant and “sick”. That damage has effected most all they’re relationships since. I loved these two!! This story tells how they find each other and the fight to come to terms with their “darkness”, and accept themselves and each other. This was well paced, so absorbing, and without a doubt, my favorite Stasia Black book. Fantastic Read
I received an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
Book three in the Break so Soft series. Can be read and enjoyed as stand-alone. Told in dual POV with HEA. WOW! Dylan grew up in a home where he would try to protect his younger brother and sister from their father who would abuse and rape their mother. Dylan has been celibate for six years believing himself a monster for his sexual proclivities. Miranda has been broken by a former boyfriend who shared and abused her. A chance meeting between them has sparks flying, and while Dylan feels guilt Miranda shows him to not be ashamed for their needs. Parts of the story are dark (their pasts) but what a wonderful love comes out of the darkness!!
ONE DARK DELIGHT!!!
This ain’t no Twilight Zone. Holy crap! Talk about deep, dark and twisted. If you like living on the edge with a plethora of events, emotions and dark cravings, congrats my friends you’ve found it. Twisted, twinned and put through the wringer as you watch totally frozen to your seat, holding your breath waiting for the other shoe to drop. Drop it did. I don’t know what Stasia used as inspiration, but holy hell this is one over the top page turning, nailbiting, heart pounding, pulse racing, spine tingling and explosive plot twists that really brings this bad boy roaring to life. The drama and suspense builds as the tension spirals, following mesmerizied as the tale unfolds. Stasia did an excellent job bringing this read together flawlessly. Fantastic job Stasia, thanks for sharing.
