An amazing sequel to a fabulous series. The story was truly captivating and I found myself turning page after page as I was eager to find out what happened. There was so many twists and turns in this book. The characters are very strong which just solidifies the storyline for me. The only thing that I would say could have been done better personally for me was that the ending seemed to be a little drawn out. Absolutely amazing ending though.
Love Bites Harder (Darkness & Light Duology Book 2) by TL Clark
I absolutely loved reading the first book in this two book series and I was hoping this one would be just as good. I am happy to say that I was not disappointed this book is amazing!! This book starts out where the first one leaves off, and its just as magical and intriguing. I love how just when you think Shakira (Kiera) and Pryderi have it worked out so they can be together, some trouble comes their way. The story is true to its title, there is a fine line between the darkness and the light, good and evil, and sometimes it’s hard to tell tell the difference. This story is written so well that it takes you on and adventure of magical creatures and tough choices. Will Kiera find a true home, a true belonging? This book captured the imagination and holds your attention throughout the entire story. There are awesome characters and some steamy moments that you won’t want to miss, so take my advice and read this awesome original story/stories. This is a 5 star read for me!!!
a great read about fighting darkness. everyone is affected by the events of the last book, especially Kiera and Pryderi who struggle to carry on when they are separated. attempting to distract herself from this, Kiera sets out to save her father from the curse. but when she also releases an evil spirit at the same time by mistake, will she be able to stop it before the evil force hunts her loved ones down?
a great read. well developed plot with twists and turns. that I just couldn’t put down. well developed characters like Kiera being brave but also struggling with everything new in this life or Pryderi trying to keep going despite the pain. I also loved the character arc of Threaris with hope and love and there more to his story. a great example of a sequel furthering the world building with new creatures and magical realms each with their own rules and societies which was beautifully written.
the emotive start to the novel was captivating and perfectly depicted depression and loss and heartache, a feature we dont often see in magical creatures. I loved the visual details throughtout the novel such as in the fae realms with the variety of vivid colours in the dance and the sunset or the elves and their palace which stunning in visual detail.
I also loved the smaller details of the flowers and names which was a lovely addition adding tot eh sense of community and family. overall, a brilliant read and I would give it five stars.
Love Bites Harder by T.L. Clark is the second book in its collect. After reading the first book I was hooked. Much like the first book it did not disappoint and kept me wanting more. I love to see characters continue to develop thought the books and really enjoyed this continued story line. Having never read this author before today. I’m quite impressed and cannot wait to read more by this author. I give this book 5 stars easily .
Love Bites Harder is the second novel in the Darkness & Light series T. L. Clark. This is my second novel by this author.
In this book we find Shakira struggling not only without the ones she loves but with the forces trying to kill her. Nevertheless, she is determined to fight against it. She is determined to protect those she cares about it.
While you don’t need to read the first book to understand this one, I highly recommend it. The author does tie up things that it’s understood even if you pick this one up first.
I felt it was slow at first but it started to pick up and I really started to enjoy it. With faeries, witches and other supernatural creatures, it’s a wild ride filled with twist and turns.
Great read!!
Love Bites Harder by TL Clark is book two of the Darkness and Light Duology and is a great follow up to book one. I highly recommend that you read book one before this story as this is a continuation of Shakira AKA Kiera’s journey. This book just like the first will have you hooked from page one and keep you hooked to the very end. This book is packed full adventure, fantasy creatures, good and evil, and love. I recommend all readers be over the age of eighteen due adult content. I give this book 4 stars.
Love Bites Harder(Darkness & Light Duology #2)
By T. L. Clark
Rated 4 stars
This is the second installment of the story of Kiera and Pyderi. This book picks up right where the last book ( Love Bites) left off. Pryderi getting an ultimatum from his clan leader. Choose the clan or the mate. So Pyderi and Kiera are separated again. Can they not catch a break? Each is just trying to survive not together. Mates pairs struggle when they cannot be together. It’s painful. Plus there seems to be a dark Magic infiltrating the people around Kiera.
This story has all the characters of the first book along with a few new ones. I liked that we got to spend some time In Faerie land. Things are a little different there and a bit fun.
Thearis, Zondra and the witches try many different things to get Pyderi and Kiera to be able to be together. The dark magic keeps trying to attach itself to Kiera. It might take everyone working together to squash the darkness.
This is a good story but something just seems off. I struggled with it keeping my interest. I am not sure what. Others me about it. The writing..too much minute by minute? It just didn’t flow nicely The storyline was very interesting but i just didn’t care about the characters like i did in Love Bites. . Did i stop reading No! I kept up to see what was going to happen.
Love Bites Harder is the second book in the Darkness & Light Duology by author T.L. Clark. Shakira’s life has truly changed. She has met her soul mate, Pryderis, found out that she is an Elinefae, and a sorceress. Her life before coming to Wales was not the life she was meant to live, now she has found her place and a new family. But when that family and her soul mate are threatened it’s up to Kiera, as Shakira is now known, to find and fight the newest big bad that has disturbed her happiness. Can she be the being she was born to be or will all this be for nothing.
If you like a story chock full of fae, magic, witches and other beings this is the series for you. The journey that Shakira/Kiera takes is exciting and the creatures she meets through her search to find herself are interesting. The author’s take on the supernatural is very unusual taking different fairy and tall tales and weaving them together to keep the reader enchanted. Plus I liked the way the author begins the book summarizing the events from the first book, that was very unusual and I wish other authors would do similar when continuing on to a second book, it was a refreshing way to jog one’s memory.
Love Bites Harder by T.L. Clark is the second book in the Darkness and Light Duology. I highly recommend reading these books in order as this book continues the story from book one.
We are back in Shakira’s world. Still searching for the way to fit in and with so much going on her life has been turned upside down. With curses and fantastical creatures, fae realms clan leaders, her life has become much more complicated than it ever was. Can Shakira find the way to fit in like she has always wanted? Or is she forever destined to be in the outside?
I had very much enjoyed book one and this sequel did not disappoint. The character development was strong and I enjoyed being able to track in through the course of both books. The story was complex and intricate, with plenty of things going on and interlinking. It helped to create an interesting depth to the story. The authors writing style helped to grip your attention in a way that carries you through the series with ease. A great duet and one I will recommend.

Love Bites Harder is the second and final book in the Darkness & Light Duology by T.L Clark. WOW! What a spellbinding instalment to this wonderful Duet/series. As I discovered in the first book, the author weaves a superb tale that bursts to life under her magical touch. I got to discover witches, faeries, sorcerers, Elinefae, magic, mystery, suspense, and so much more between these covers that enthralled and enchanted me . This story is an original, quite unique from anything that I had read in this genre before. I can tell that the author has put a lot of thought, imagination, heart and soul into this story. After reading the first book and loving it as much as I did, I must admit that I had some high expectations for this book- and I am sooo happy to say that Ms. Clark didn’t disappoint, she delivered everything that I was hoping for, and then some.
This story picks up right where the first book ended. Shakira and Pryderi thought they had finally got the chance to make a life together after the events in the last book. But, Pryderi decision leaves Keira devastated and reeling from the hurt. Pryderi is torn in two, put in a no-win situation that shreds him to the core. Can these two find a way to be together and live the life they both dream of? Will Kiera finally find the home she longs for and a place where she truly belongs? But with dark force lurking in the shadows, danger seems to follow her. With her safety on the line, she must decide who she can and can’t trust. This story sees her making wondrous new discoveries, as well as experiencing some soaring highs and heart aching lows. Things aren’t all as it appears and she will need to navigate through it, all the while learning about her newfound powers. What unfolds will keep you captivated the whole way through.
The characters are wonderfully developed individuals with their own personalities, quirks and flaws. Kiera and Pryderi are fantastic, as are all the secondary characters. I loved Shui and Tarrah, they added a little extra magic to the story. As with the first book I have to say again that I am blown away by all the unique touches that Ms. Clark has given her story and the characters- and there is such a vast array of magical creatures who inhabited these books- they really made the story/series such an exciting and memorable experience. And then, there is the matter of the incredible world building skills that Ms. Clark demonstrates throughout this story. She really brought the whole thing to life using her wonderful imagination, and flare with words.
I really can’t wait to read whatever Ms. Clark writes next!
Thank you, Ms. Clark!
This second book in the series stands easily on its own but is more greatly appreciated if read in the order provided. This book was another page turner from TL Clark and as enjoyable as it’s series predecessor. The universe expands. The characters and plot continue to richly develop. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and series and hope to read more from this author in the future.
Love Bites Harder by TL Clark
5 Stars!!!!!
I absolutely enjoyed the first book and this second book only added fire to my already hooked self. I really thoroughly
enjoyed this book and was even more enthralled than with the first. I love how the author was able to draw you into the
world she has created and keep you at the edge of your seat to see what would happen next and if there would be a happily
ever after!
The chemistry between Shakira and Pryderi is absolutely on fire. I really enjoyed how the author brought Shakiras past
and beginnings to life. The whole forbidden sort of love and the twists in this book made for such a rivioting read. I never
once wanted to put this book down. I was absolutely glued to the pages. The author had just enough mystery and twists in
this book that it was such an easy flowing read. I will definitely be reading more from this author in future.

Once again, it was original. I enjoyed the mixture of supernatural beings that the author uses in the story. Although Kiera saves the day in the first book, Rhion (the elinifae leader) still doesn’t trust her. Giving Pryderi an ultimatum, Rhion has broken both their hearts. Kiera has no time to dwell on the pain though, she still has to help lift the curse on her father and find a way for her and her soulmate to be together. With an evil pursuing her, she has to keep safe.
My favourite part has to be when Frydah brought Kiera into the Fae realm. It was like being at the Madhatter’s tea party. It was amusing, chaotic and beautiful all at once.

Four Stars
In this story we pick back up from where book one ended. Shakira now Kiera has just had the craziest choice presented to her mate. His clan or his soulmate either choice will have him feeling incomplete. Seeing his choice she flees. Once again I am intrigued by this authors imagination. The plot was well thought out and interesting. The pain that the characters were in due to their separation was felt through every word. There were moments that lagged but not too bad. The flow of the story had bumps but overall it was well written and put together.
Love Bites Harder is the second book in TL Clark’s Darkness and Light Duology. It isn’t necessary to read part one if you haven’t had the chance to fully enjoy this book. TL Clark has dedicated the first part of the book to catching you up on what is going on in this fantasy world that TL has created. I really did enjoy book one though and think if you do enjoy this genera of books you will want to go back and devour book one first. It really enhances the reading experience.
In this book we find Shakira, or better known now as Kiera, struggling with the dark forces that are out to destroy her. She also is facing the challenge of being without the love of her life. The little firecracker that Kiera is, is set on banding together with her friends to fight the evil darkness that threatens her and the ones she loves. She is determined to find a way to protect the ones she loves and reunite herself with her love. Can she manage to do all this and keep herself safe at the same time? Will the power of good light outshine the evil darkness on her doorstep? Can she save the ones she loves, and her father or will the dark rise up to overtake all that she has worked hard to protect?
I found myself often waiting with bated breath to see what would come next. Just when I thought that I had figured out how this story was going to conclude I was pleasantly surprised with a twist and turn that took the story in a whole different direction from what I had anticipated.
I don’t usually pick up books with werewolves, witches, faires, and unicorns, to just mention a few of the otherworldly creatures that are gracing the pages of this book. I wasn’t disappointed with this one though and am really happy that I had the opportunity to try something new to myself and enjoy it. This book also balanced the darkness and evil battle with some steamy hot love scenes that break up the disaster that is Kiera’s life. I would recommend that this be read by the older young adults or adults in general.
I look forward to seeing what other novels by TL Clark will suck me in. I can for sure say that I will now have a much more open mind when it comes to picking up a fantasy romance novel in the future!
Love Bites Harder by TL Clark is book two in the Darkness & Light Duology. I would highly recommend reading the first book before this one. There is a short recap but the first book was amazing all on its own. This book continues from where the first book left off. I truly enjoy reading TL Clark’s writing style! Her words flow well and I love the dramatic build in her books. I can’t wait to see what else she has.
Love Bites Harder, Darkness and Light Duology Book 2 by TL Clark
4 out of 5 stars
This is the second book in this series and highly, HIGHLY recommend that you read book one before you read this one. This author knows how to build a very unique story and I have loved how this story is built and dissolves into the characters. This author was new to me with the first book but has since been added to my Must Read List. This fantasy novel and series has fairies, elves and dragons This story reads like a fan fictions and I love that in a good book. The writing is easy and smooth. The characters are loveable and brave, both stupid and smart. Both the book and series were great reads and I would read them again in a heartbeat

4 out of 5 stars
Straight away I like how this book was set up, it is the second book in the Darkness & Light Duology but gives you the flexibility to read a “recap” and start from book 2, use it as a refresher, or skip right to chapter 1 if it’s fresh in your mind.
The elements I enjoyed in Love Bites Harder are similar to those in the first book, I love the depth of the characters and the humor in some of the writing. The description to detail is incredible vivid and makes me feel as though I am within the pages from time to time. I especially liked some of the celebratory type imagery as the story began to come closer to it’s end. Overall, I really enjoyed Love Bites Harder and the Darkness & Light Duology as a whole and I look forward to seeing some other stories TL Clark has written.
This is book two in a duet… I did not read the first book in the series and at the front of LOVE BITES HARDER there is a fantastic summary which has enough background that I never felt lost.
This is one of those books that has fantasy, and magick, destiny and love. It also has a unicorn…. “Holy Cow, he can talk.” “Hush you silly girl. Of course he can talk. And he’s a unicorn, not a cow.” “I can see he’s a unicorn, I didn’t mean he was…oh never mind.” Hehehe this story also has a bit of humor.
The story flows well and all of the characters are dimensional and well developed. This story is also full of symbolism. Everyone should “(see) the beauty truly within” their soul mate.
Because of descriptive sexy times, I wouldn’t recommend this duet to my younger cousins but I would recommend it to their older siblings.
****
Love Bites Harder by TL Clark is the exciting second installment of the Darkness & Light Duology. I would give this book 5-stars, there is more excitement and more danger for the main character.
In this book we find Kiera battling between good and evil. On her journey she is finding out who she can trust, and trying to stay safe while searching for her father and trying to reconnect with her soulmate.
Kiera grows a lot in this book and I see her becoming a strong fighter as well as a stronger person mentally. She must make tough decisions and learn how to trust herself and her own instincts. While she has many protectors watching over her, it is ultimately up to her to win each battle she is faced with.
Overall this was a great follow up book, the characters are very loveable and well written and the story line is interesting and kept entertained and engrossed. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a little romance, danger and supernatural. I would also recommend reading the first book before moving onto the second.
