This series has lots of potential. Its a gangbanger romance. (At least I think that's a trope now.) Obviously, being gang members, the men are all tattooed bad boys. There was lots of drama, a good amount of action, and a really good plot twist. All good things for fans of these types of books.

That being said, while being a good enough read, the story did not resonate with me. It was lacking a level of maturity that I would expect from 30 y/o characters. I thought, based on the super show more emotional and engaging prologue, that this book would get under my skin. But we go right from the prologue to raunchy sex in the bathroom of the bar, where the girl is holding on to the nasty toilet seat. At one point she even rests her head on her arms on the toilet seat. This grossed me out so much that the story started to unravel. I mean, ew, public toilet seat in a bar??? And you know public toilets dont have lids - so she was up close and personal with some nasty bodily fluids and lots of germs. I wanted to shower just reading it. And it was repeated every night for the next 3 weeks! No thank you. Why couldn't they just do it against the wall? Another thing... most of the sex was doggystyle. I prefer variety in my smut, otherwise I'm just gonna skim those parts.

I think this book may appeal to a younger crowd, but I wouldn't be surprised if the over-30 age group aren't satisfied. 3 stars / 3 flames. I was provided a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. show less

So I seem to be on a bit of a dark romance craze at the moment. Don't really know why that is. But change is always nice.

All I knew about this book going into was that it was a dark contemporary romance. Not sounds good enough to me. What I was not expecting was the emotional roller coaster that would follow upon reading this book. The story was gripping and the characters were well thought out and developed at the right speed with the growth in the plot. There were even a few surprises that show more I didn't see coming. Love that in a good story.

The two main characters, Lilly and Jake. Man what do I say. Love really does come at the worse possible time for some people, yet I believe they dealt with it perfectly. Love is never easy, and this story proves that it is worth fighting for.

You loved me at the darkest is a must read for any for that loves a good dark romance read. You won't be disappointed. show less
