The Dark Duology #1
M/F romance
From the outside looking in, Dr. Alex Marlowe has it all. A comfortable middle-class upbringing, a great job as a GP, a picturesque cottage in a quiet village, and all the support she could need to get over her cheating ex-fiancé. So, when dark and dangerous Jake Lawrence appears bleeding on the doorstep of her late-night surgery in London’s East End, she isn’t prepared for the myriad of feelings he leaves behind.
Respected and feared in London’s violent criminal underworld, Jake lives the furthest life from Alex’s safe suburban existence, yet he can’t get the classy doctor out of his mind. He’s forged his reputation from nothing on these streets, but no amount of fancy cars or high-end apartments can make him feel as if he belongs. Could Alex finally be his key to redemption, or will his growing obsession only lead them both into greater danger?
One thing’s for sure: Neither of them want to let go. But with so many secrets lurking in the shadows, Jake’s relentless pursuit of Alex starts to attract some unsavory attention. With all eyes on them and no clear way out, Alex soon realizes she hasn’t just fallen in love…but into something much darker.
Full disclosure: I've loved this series for ages from its earlier version and was beyond excited that it's finally available to buy. In this polished version the dynamic between Jake & Alex is thoroughly addictive. You get sucked into their chemistry from the start - it's almost tangible. Kudos to the author for her gorgeous, fluid writing style.
Jake is the mysterious and moody deviant with an airport's worth of personal baggage trying to win the affections of a women he thinks is far outside his worth. Alex is a cynical, cautious physician grappling with the chaos of desire and emotion this delicious man evokes in her.
Although the ending is a cliffhanger, with Jake & Alex, it's one I'll happily leap from. Can't wait for the next book in this series
Jake and Alex sizzle from moment one and the way their chemistry begins to bubble and boil is perfection. The writing is cinematic and if this doesn't end up on the big screen... Epic scenes still on replay in my mind.
Although dark, this will quickly become a comfort read and you will be returning for your fix. The only thing in my head when I finished was the fact that I need more! Jake is so well developed, so complex and written to jump off the page with his alpha protective streak, gah! Perfection. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a steamy love story that you just can't quit.
