He was everything I should avoid…A silent lion in the dark; watching, studying, devouring me without a single touch.His voice sent shivers up my spine, stopping my heart inside my chest as if he controlled the oxygen it needed to beat.I danced for him, because he demanded it. I lied for him, because he wanted it, even though I knew a single lie could get me killed.He told me I was too pretty … told me I was too pretty for this world, that there were things he could do for me. His eyes, the way they wander over my body, it makes me feel things I never felt before.
Feelings that have no place here. Feelings that don’t exist in my world.
I couldn’t ignore what I felt, and decided to risk my life to ask him for help.
But I was a fool wishing on fallen stars.
When the smoke clears, I’m able to see him for what he truly is…
And it’s not the hero I wanted him to be.
How could I ever find love in the dark?

Berlin is taken at the age of nine by Virgo. She’s not harmed until she turns eighteen. Salt is drawn to her, and rescues her. This is a dark romance. Very good book, well written!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Love In The Dark will pull you down into the depths of the story and will hold you captive to the pages. This isn’t your normal hearts and flowers kind of romance, it is dark, twisted, gritty and at times will feel despairing for Berlin. However it takes just a glimpse to bring hope amongst the darkness and ignite a fire in the numbness. This dark romance will show that not all heroes and saviors wear capes, sometimes they are cloaked in just as much devilry as you have been drowning in for years.
Berlin lost the life she knew at 9 yrs old, she was taken from her family and forced into a terrible life, one nightmares are made of. Salt is all alpha male, and for some reason when he sees Berlin dance he knows he wants her, she has ingrained herself in his brain. He wants to save her, she wants a free life. Together they have one hell of a fight but damn I love these two together.
This is a story about survival and strength, the strength to survive unimaginable horrors and still have the capacity to love. It is a compelling story that makes the reader want to discover the secrets hidden in the miserable life Berlin is made to suffer. It is also a love story with an unexpected happy ending. There are no hearts and flowers but it is all the more powerful because of their absence and a single lily carries so much meaning.
Boy, this was a delicious read. The book offers a well written, engaging, nail biter of a storyline. Dark, twisted, intense, dramatic, sweet and passionate, there is plenty here to capture and hold your all of your attention and keep you reading long past your bedtime. I loved the pairing of Bentley and Berlin. Opposites in many ways but with some surprising similarities. Both these characters were complex and had many layers for the reader to explore. The attraction between them was potent and their chemistry simply sizzled and burned throughout the book. If you enjoy reading dark romances and everything that entails, I highly recommend this wonderful standalone romance.
