MICHELLE’S REVIEW

I LOVE ARAYA AND RYLAND!!!

Seriously though. I am obsessed with this couple. Their need for each other is rivaled only by my need for them to be together.

So I feel in love with these two in The Edge of Darkness and you can read my review here.

The Grace in Darkness picks up right where we left off. Araya is at her special schooled paid for with JD”s dirty money. But Ryland has found her. A part of me died a little when he didn’t just rush in and gather her into his arms but I got it. He thought she was happy and in a lot of ways she was. But these two apart just doesn’t make any sense.

As the book progresses we finally get our reunion and it is so fucking hot I can’t even stand it. I mean we’re talking hot angry sex here people. But it’s followed by a ton of sweet. It just fits this couple perfectly and I love every sexy moment.

Araya is still dealing trying to be independent and not feel like she needs help or that everyone around her thinks she needs their help. What I love is that she learns that her limitations are ok and that everyone has them and that this is how Ryland sees her no matter what:

Ryland is so angry through so much of this book and it is painful to see sometimes but it’s also very powerful.

Other characters that were amazing were of course Careless- who really redeems herself in this book and Sebastian. OMG Sebastian:

He is AMAZING in this book. He really steps up as a brother and a friend in a huge, major way. Like you will die. It’s everything. And I need to know more about him and I need him to find love.

There are two new characters: Pierce and Makayla. I am a little torn on these two. Pierce seemed nice enough but he wasn’t Ryland so I just didn’t care.

And Makayla- something happened to her or she is hiding something and until I know what this is- my decision on how I feel is left hanging. There is a pivotal scene in the book and after than moment it is clear she is hiding something. I don’t know what it is but it made me unsure about her.

And unfortunately we still have to deal with the super villain that is JD. Seriously- this man is one of the most evil characters I have ever read about and I hate him so much.

I can’t spoil it for you but people who hate JD (which should be everyone) you will end up loving this book for a lot of reasons. You won’t love him- in fact you will hate him more- but well just read it to find out what I am talking about.

There is nothing about this book that I didn’t love. It was sexy, sweet, romantic and kept me guessing.

There were some heartbreaking moments along the way and I cried- especially for Araya but by the end I was crying happy tears. The epilogue was utter perfection. I mean I could not have loved it more. The way it was broken up into 4 months, later 6 months later, etc. was just wonderful. I loved getting these little glimpses and I ended with so much joy for these two characters you would think I knew them personally.

Do yourself a favor and read this series. It is emotional and beautiful with the perfect amount of angst and sexiness and I just love it.

TEASER

His fingers wrapped around the back of my neck, pulling me hard against his body. I knew what he was attempting to do, but his plan was backfiring. My body sighed at the contact, and every curve molded against him; desperate to feel all of him.

“If I feel you beneath me, I won’t be able to stop Araya. I want you too damn much! I want you, all of you. I want to be buried so deep inside of you, you won’t know where I end and you begin.” His breath showered my lips with warmth.

“I won’t want you to stop Ryland. I need you, all of you, now and forever.”

“And the rest?”

His eyes move over my face, flushing my skin with the intensity of his gaze. The rhythm of my heart increased, because I know what he wants me
to say.

“Say it.” He growls against my lips.

AUTHOR INFO

I find it hard to sum up my life in one paragraph, but I’ll try

I am the author of Flutter, The Discover Series! Reading has always been a passion for me, and writing as instinctive as breathing.

Every inhale is an idea; every exhale a creation. The only thing I do better than writing you ask? Making beautiful girls. My daughter’s will always be my greatest accomplishment.

I was born in Denver, Colorado–but I will always think of sunny Arizona as my home. I don’t have a big family, but I’m close with my sister, brother
& my mom. My mom is my hero, my inspiration, and I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing person to be raised by.

4 things you should know about me: I’m very girly, but I can get down and dirty with the best of them. I adore the color pink and things that sparkle
(including vampires), I am a firm believer that chocolate cures ALL and I like even numbers (hence 4 things about me, not 5) Okay, maybe I cheated a little with my list, shhhh.
