A review by fortheloveoffictionalworlds
Dark Edges by Kane Caldwell, Anthony Dwayne
4.0

I received an eARC of the book from the Enticing Journey Book Promotions in exchange for an honest review.
I had no idea what to expect when I opened this book up - all I knew was that the blurb had intrigued me and that I would have an alpha hero on my hands and a wild ride to contend with.
And I honestly COULDN'T WAIT!
Day against night. Polished against rough. Dull against adventure.
Right off the bat - Chase Black is douche - no, I am not kidding - he really comes off as a douche - and that honestly is the most complimentary term I could come up with - but even with his douche-ness there was something about him that you JUST couldn't ignore - I didn't exactly know what IT was, but it was that simple reason that kept me going ahead with the book.
Naomi McAllister, on the other hand, is a woman who is slowly loosing the grip on her marriage - absolutely in love with her husband, and newly married, she is slowly getting a grip on the fact that not everything is right with shiny world - a husband that should have been by her side, is not only ignoring her, but might also be having an affair.
So she decides to take the matters in her own hands - and hires Chase's PI services.
Now Naomi and Chase had a slightly unorthodox meeting - a meeting that starting defining both their lives.
As usual, I was right to keep with the story - It is an interesting one - not just because it's written by a male author (Yep! I didn't know that until I checked Goodreads, AFTER completing the book!) but because there is something infinitely RAW about these characters - and their connection with each other that I just couldn't let go off.
A debut novel for Mr. Kane, it has everything - a romance that knocks your socks off with some twists and turns that you just never really see coming.
However, there are instances of cheating in this romance, which when you look at it, can be understood, but it is a hard limit for me, no matter what, why or with whom.
Beyond, this little snag, I really liked this romance, and I am quite excited to see where the author goes from here!
He may not have been the perfect guy. I may not have been the perfect girl. But together, we were pretty fucking perfect.
