One ride across the country and back, on a motorcycle, sounds exhausting but easy enough? Ha. Nothing is ever easy. Tripp and Doll are about to find out what a getaway can do for your resolve!

I really liked this book. There was enough sass (haha pun not intended) and truth to keep me from putting this book down! Both of these characters are so much alike, yet neither are willing to see it. The old saying is that opposites attract, but in some cases, like this one, it is just the opposite. show more Sometimes two people who are so much like the other, are more of an extension of each other. This is the case here.

Stubbornness. Longing. Hard-headed. Determined. These two are embarking on a journey that will change their lives forever. They fight with themselves and with one another like there is no difference between the two. They try to keep each other at arms length. Then there is the doubt. More of the self-doubt than anything. Neither think they should be together because of who they are... even though they are practically one in the same.

This story is written so well that you will forget you are reading a book. It is almost like watching this story develop on the television. It definitely is not something you want to drag out. Once it's gets going, you don't want to stop until the story is complete... but at the same time, you almost don't want it to end! show less

So this is the second book in the Love in the Dark series and while I didn't enjoy this quite as much as its predecessor it still certainly packed a massive punch leaving me reeling with that cliffhanger finale.
This carries on almost instantly after the events of "Stay" and after the shocking finale we were given there understandably Fallyn/Angelina is deep down in a hole of darkness and despair with a life-altering desition straight ahead of show more her.
Does she reclaim her old life or follow Her Strangers wishes embracing her identity as Angelina.
With the help of her Uncle Zo-Zo Angelina embarks on a whole new pathway leaving her old life behind for fresh new shores and college living.
At first, struggling and feeling adrift without her Giano; Angelina struggles against the tide with feelings of loneliness and isolation almost adrift without a familiar anchor.
But there is one bright spot on the near horizon her new college professor Shawn Patrick and due to the forbidden aspect of there relationship these two start a slow build friendship that eventually culminates in so much more.
She feels an almost instant connection to him and with the parallels of there upbringings.
Shawn himself has walked away from his father's criminal lifestyle forging his own path ahead as a history professor.
And though Angelina is still knee deep in secrets and lies she falls hard and fast.
So as I said earlier I really enjoyed this; it was dialled back a notch from the previous book concentrating much more on the budding friendship emerging and also Angelinas growing rebirth of healing.
Told again from our girls POV; so you really do get a sense of where her heads at after previous fallout.
"Seeking Solace" does a great job of lulling you into a false sense of security and just when you think maybe out girl is finally due for some overdue peace and happiness; it strikes, like a snake injecting its venom; re-contaminated everything and dragging Angelina back into that world she has so desperately tried to leave far behind in her dust.
That ending; what a shocker that was, like seriously.
So I am so looking forward to the next instalment here and I'm hoping maybe there's a big pot of karma at the end of the rainbow of ruins that seems to be Angelina's recurring nightmare.
The poor girl so needs to catch a break.
I for one will be waiting with bated breath for the anticipated outcome here.
Thank you to the author for providing me with an ARC of "Seeking Solace: Angelina's Restoration (Love in the Dark Book 2)" of which I have reviewed voluntary.
All opinions are entirely my own.

This second chance love story is one of forgiveness and moving forward. I love these guys, they are out for nothing but doing right by the people they help. Chelsea Camaron can write great love stories with seriously screwed up crime and punishment intertwined in them. Perfect combination show less

This was certainly nothing like what I was expecting but I adored it anyway.
"Stay" tells the story of one tragic little girl's redemption by a very unlikely saviour.
I didn't find this a particularly dark read but it definitely had undertones with the physical abuse of a young girl prior to her liberation from the hands of the people who should have been her fiercest protectors.
In this, it's Her Stranger that takes on the mantle of guardian and show more unexpected benefactor to a young Fallyn.
In her, this stone-cold hitman sees his second chance at protecting the innocence he still sees in her.
An almost second chance if you will after his life imploded so dramatically; ironically it's his angel (Fallyn) that gives him a purpose to live for; I say ironic because considering his initial intention it really is.
So I really loved this and honestly didn't see that ending; it took caught me completely unawares.
Though I do think considering Her Strangers need to protect her things would have gone down slightly differently than they did.
After everything that Giano had done to shield and protect her, I can't see him then subjecting his Angel to such tortures of the soul and scarring her with recurring memories for years to come; one thing was very apparent here her stranger loved her so deeply so I just can't see it myself.
That is my only reason for removing half a star here.
This is told all from Fallyn's POV and it was truly intriguing witnessing the slow metamorphosis from Fallyn to Angelina to the point the two identities merge into one whole new entity entirely.
I also loved the fact we are then treated to two epilogues an almost you decide scenario; I adored that and is it wrong that the darker of the two possibilities is definitely where my own choice was edging towards here.
So This isn't a rainbows and ribbons type of story, it isn't even a romance if I had to put a label on this it's all about loss, redemption and temptation, finding a reason to continue the daily struggle that is life.
But where there is darkness there is also light and I truly believe that Fallyn was this for Giano, his redemption; And in a way, despite the conclusion here these two were each other's, unexpected saviours, there for each other at a certain crossroads in life.
I'm actually welling up here just writing this review so deeply did this story touch my soul.
This is one bittersweet story that will stay with me for a while and am so very glad to see the author has decided to continue this enthraling saga I for one can't wait to see where this goes.
A warning before I go this does very briefly at the beginning portray a scene of Fallyn's abuse by her father; just thought I'd give a heads up in case anyone is triggered by this.
