It's real, it sucks, and I've struggled with it before - as I'm sure a lot of people reading this might have too. The reason I am having a hard time rating this is that - despite wanting to DNF this bad boy several times up until about the 50% mark - I really felt a kinship with Caden. I am also having a hard time putting my thoughts into words this morning, because, you know, This was a disappointing sequel in my opinion, and I am having a hard time rating it. Do you know that? There isn’t a part of me that isn’t yours completely.” Thank you, Laura Kaye for giving us a sexy, emotionally charged conclusion to such a beloved novella!
I love the writing, the feels and the closure we get with Caden and Mackenna. It’s easy to get lost in the darkness, and difficult to get out, but it helps when you have someone that is on your side no matter what.įor all of you that have read Hearts in Darkness you will most definitely want to pick up this book. Watching Caden with his PTSD was devastating, but watching him eventually learn to cope with it and grow was wonderful. I loved the direction the continuation of this story took. She didn’t love him despite of all his issues, she loved him because they were part of who he was. Caden still has things he deals with from his past. It’s been a few months since that fateful day that Caden and Mackeena got stuck in that elevator together. I loved getting more of Caden and Mackenna! It’s been a while since it was released, but better late than never! Love in the Light gave me that ‘more’ I wanted from the novella. I was intrigued by the concept and I wanted more of these characters. I read Hearts in Darkness back in 2012 and it was one of the most memorable novellas I’ve ever read. Love in the Light is due out on January 12th. If you loved the first book, you definitely have to get your hands on this one. Will he be able to pull himself out of the darkness in time? Or will he let the darkness take over and lose the one true love he has ever known? Caden lets his emotions take him back into a very dark place. Circumstances arise and in the heat of the moment Makenna reveals her feelings. Makenna is crazy in love with Caden and wants to make her feelings known to him but she knows about his condition and that it could make him spiral out of control. He also seems to think he isn't good enough for her. He's afraid that things are too perfect and life will deal him another blow by taking Makenna away from him. He still suffers from PTSD, a result from the deadly car accident he was in when he was young, where he lost his mother and younger brother. Life has been pretty cruel and unfair to him. However, Caden is afraid of what he is feeling and how much Makenna has grown to mean to him. Also there is PLENTY of ANGST!!! Hello, just what the doctor ordered!Ĭaden and Makenna have developed deep feelings for each other in a short amount of time. I can tell you that there are no shortages of panty melting moments in this one. Their passion for each other is even more SIZZLING.
Caden and Makenna are still going strong. We pick up two months after their fateful and scorching HOT rendezvous in that broken down elevator. This is the continuation of Caden and Makenna's story.
I thought that the story had ended perfectly but to my utter surprise I found out that there was a second book about to be released. I read Hearts in Darkness over two years ago and hell if I didn't think it was one of the hottest short stories I had ever read. If anyone could take some of the weight off his shoulders, if anyone could make it easier for him to breathe, it would be her. She was the light to Caden's darkness and had been since they'd been trapped in that elevator. *****FOUR YOU AND ME TIL THE END STARS*****
