Holy. Crow. Before today, V.H. Luis’s name never crossed any of my conversations on authors that I must read. Now, l am sitting her like WHERE HAS SHE BEEN?? Waking to Black completely broke me to the point to where I was sobbing while reading it.
Have you ever read a book that owned you from the beginning and made it nearly impossible to put down? Well, Evie in Waking to Black had me from the start. That woman has been through heck and yet she still pushes through. She has her moments where she breaks down and wants to give up. Insert Adam, who is this major rude a–hole, and does something to Evie to bring her out of that shell she is in. Adam gives her a reason to live.
As I began to read Evie’s story I thought her being with Adam would set her back and cause her to do more harm. However, as I continued to read I realized that Adam is saving her and by default, she is saving him. Neither wants to open up about their past because of the pain.
Waking to Black is raw. Like really. It is full of angst — which I usually refuse to read — romance, sex, you name it. This book will have you crying those big fat ugly tears and you will want to beat some sense into both Evie and Adam.
You have got to read this book. No doubt about it. Their story continues in Fading to Black.
Evelyn first meets the mysterious Adam Black when he rescues her during a bank robbery. They begin a relationship but Evie is plagued by doubts. There is an intense attraction between the two but their story is a bit of a roller coaster with lots of angst.
This is my first book by VH Luis. I thought the author did a great job of creating two memorable characters and developing sizzling chemistry between them. I did get a little annoyed with Evie and her constant self-doubt but I like how she came to own it by the end of the book and take control of her life.
This book ends on a bit of a cliffhanger and I’m looking forward to the second book.
Waking to Black by V.H. Luis is the first book in Uninhibited Series. This is the story of Evelyn ‘Evie’ and Adam.
Evie and Adam meet in a dangerous way…Evie is at gun point being help by a bank robber. Once she is free the real panic attack sets in and Adam helps her through that also.
There is a immediate attraction between the two but both have stuff from their past that make things hard moving forward. Where Adam expects Evie to give all of her self and her life he holds his personal past life back.
Overall I really enjoyed this book. I am looking forward to the next book to hopefully see their happy ending.
Hot, sexy and packed with with the unexpected…
I loved reading this book, it’s good, hot, sexy and one very good read. I curled up with my hot tea, a warm blanket and couldn’t put it down. It leaves me wanting to read more of what you wrote as I love a good book. Was a wonderful read throughout. The characters pull you in and make you want to read more. Keep it coming…

This book dutifully explains why someone (the h) is insecure and holding back. Given Evelyn’s past, the reasoning makes perfect sense to me. This book is an insta-lust, but it worked given Adam’s character. I liked the symbolism in the book how it tied into the characters. I also liked how Adam brought out Evelyn’s true character and the growth was obvious.

This story draws you in and will have you on one emotional thrill ride. Adam and Evelyn are so unlike each other and yet the chemistry between them is intense. They both have secrets and it is their drama that keeps things intense. This story is so vivid you feel like you are right there within the story watching as the scenes unfold.
