“Sometimes our demons don’t stay in our nightmares, little doe, sometimes they chase us while we are wide awake too.”
Wow, what a read! This follows Maya and Torin. Maya is on the run from her past and Torin is dealing with his demons daily and at a standstill in his life until the mysterious beautiful woman Maya rocks up in the small town with a past that may come back and haunt her. Can this grumpy fisherman protect her?
I loved every minute of this book it is perfect if anyone wants to test the waters of Dark Romance. The character growth, healing journey and emotional side were fantastic. Maya is so strong and opens Torin up. Harper the daughter was a fantastic kid to read about and sassy which I loved. Ruthie was a brilliant older motherly figure and was just so welcoming to Maya when she arrived I love her.
THE SPICE stop this was incredible and delicious. The mouth, praising and commanding behaviour of Torin has me weak.
I nominate myself as a tribute.
Fantastic and loved every minute of this book excited for the next!
