“I’m jealous of the sun because it touches your skin when I can’t. I’m jealous of every man that came before me.”
Nedless to say, the book cover is a perfect choice, I have fallen in love at first sight.
I have been hooked up already by the beginning of the story, I felt the pressure in my chest. It gave me a little hope than the darkness grabbed me again.

Ms. Asher has done it again. She had me hooked from the very beginning and I couldn’t put it down. At 40% the anticipation was killing me. I was so tempted to skip to the end but I was a good girl. I was on the fence at the start about whose “team” I was on. That was until a certain someone got his own chapter and revealed his true colors. After that there was ZERO competition in my mind…and my heart. LMitD was not only a beautiful love story but it was also a journey to finding your self-worth and self-respect after your world falls apart.
What is it about Mia Asher and her intoxicating prose. Already after reading the prologue I had feelings galore exploding inside me. I could hardly contain myself with excitement and the anticipation of what was in store for me.
I was slowly seduced into Asher’s magical world where everything felt real. Almost too real at times. Her words paints a vivid and powerful picture. I was in Paris and I could smell coffee and croissants. Feel the rain on my skin and watching two strangers struggling with loss and rediscovering themselves and love all over again.
It was truly magical to follow and experience Sébastien and Valentina on their journey.
I admired and sympathized with Valentina. So loyal and dedicated to her love and marriage that she comprised herself and her needs. Lost who she was along the way for the sake of her marriage.
My beautiful and wonderful Sébastien. Numbing himself until he became void to everything. That was until he met Valentina. Two strangers at the right time and again wrong because of certain circumstances. Their attraction and chemistry created sparks instantly. Fireworks! So fucking beautiful. I felt it down to my toes.
Watching them navigate through their growing feelings and friendship was emotional and intense. The story was fast paced and only strengthened my connection to Sébastien and Val and furthered my curiosity. Mia Asher is an expert at creating angst and she doesn’t disappoint. I loved the twists and turns in the story and I was definitely surprised a couple of times.
I loved LMITD because it’s so much more than a love story. It’s about loving yourself, seizing the moment and never let go. Sébastien is utter perfection with his French lines and could make me want to sin anytime.
Mia Asher is back and damn have I missed her and her flawless prose. Merci beaucoup!
I’m a little bit late to the Mia Asher party. I know, I hang my head in shame. I have all of her other books on my tbr so I figured I would start with this one. Because cover love! I can honestly say that I really liked this book. I started it this afternoon and I finished it in a couple of hours. I was really into Valentina and Sebastien. Those two kept me turning the pages waiting to find out more. Very interesting plot. There’s a lot of emotions happening all over the book. Not my black soul, with the characters in the book. I will for sure get to reading the other books that I have by Mia. The writing and story telling is really beautiful.
Worth every minute spent reading, the hours I didn’t sleep and the wait!
Mia Asher gives us nothing short from her best. What an amazing story with beautiful, real, broken characters that inspire.
There were moments I swooned, other moments I was like “Whoa” and at times *fanning* cause it got HOT! Oh and the sexual tension…Yup!
Overall superb. This book took me places and brought me back a happy person.
This story fell flat for me, she’s in Paris deciding if she wants to make it work with her husband and you find out her husband is not what he seems.
Sebastien hasn’t been able to feel anything for anyone since his tragic loss.
A story about finding your Happy and not settling for less.

Forbidden, second chance romance that will have you believing in fate and will have you rooting for this all-consuming, forbidden type of love. LOVE ME IN THE DARK will have you hoping and dreaming for unlikely possibilities. It will have you swooning, fearing, and empathizing. Mia Asher takes your heart soring to new heights with passion and desire, only to have it come crashing down with angst and uncertainty. #AlltheFeels
This novel was tearing at every fiber of my being. I was yearning right along with Valentina. I was desiring right along with Sebastian. I was feeling every internal battle right along with Valentina. I was needing and aching right along with them both. Mia Asher has the reader FEELING EVERYTHING while diligently reading every passage.
When I read the synopsis for LMITD, I knew that this storyline would take me personally beyond my comfort zone. Take me to a place where I had always said I wouldn’t go with a novel. BUT I also knew that Mia was the ONLY author that I would be willing to read this type of storyline from because I knew that she would be able to win me over heart and soul with her writing ability and her characters. And SHE HAS! I am utterly and profoundly in love with this story and these characters. They are constantly on my mind and had me hoping and aching for their HEA. LOVE ME IN THE DARK is like NO other novel I’ve read of Mia’s (or other author’s for that matter), but it still has Mia’s exceptional writing style and all-consuming storyline. Mia’s ability to spin a compelling story is unprecedented. She is truly an exceptional author.
This unconventional and emotional love story will have you craving for more with each page read. A passionate, desire filled, and angst driven novel with a touch of forbidden element that is addictive and unforgettable. A true masterpiece that I will cherish forever. LOVE IN THE DAEK is completely unique in ALL aspects and should be devoured by any and all romance/suspense lovers.
5+++ Stars

I didn’t end up loving Love Me in the Dark, but I did enjoy pieces of it.
Valentina was just a boring character… which made sense since she married a wealthy man early in her life and didn’t have to work. Her days revolved around her terrible husband and she never got the opportunity to discover other things in the world.
When she ends up in Paris alone, her eyes start opening up… and then she meets another man. Sébastien.
It’s a little frustrating that she finds another man to help her discover herself… But I didn’t mind too much because Sébastien was a sexy character.
If you can’t handle cheating in any form, stay away from this book. If you can stomach that and also take in a weak female trying to find her purpose in life, maybe you’d enjoy this more than I did.
