Darker than love…

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.

Deeper than lust…

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?

A fall so hard there is no coming back.

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.

Moody & Delicious

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.

Thoroughly addictive.

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.

Together, they are sexy and explosive.

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

Deliciously Dark

This fall is exactly what you’ve been looking for.

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.

I need more!

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.

I always knew it would happen.

I always knew the day Alex found out the truth about me, was the day I’d lose her. And I did. She did what she had to do, she let me go, and I don’t blame her for it. I’d hidden too much from her, things she might never forgive me for, and now I can’t stop thinking about the look in her eyes when she told me she couldn’t love me.

Alex was the light, wholly unconnected to the dark filthy parts of my life and I’ll do whatever I have to do to get her back. Including betraying those who made me who I am. I may not get out of this world alive, but I know I can’t live in it any longer. And she’s worth it. She’s worth risking everything for.

I told myself a lot of lies from the moment I met Jake. And when I was confronted with the truth about who he was, I told myself a few more. Including the worst lie I’ve ever told – that I couldn’t love him.

The truth is, I’m incapable of not loving him. Despite who he is and the things he’s done. Despite the lies he’s told and the sins he still hides. None of it matters. None of it compares to the man he is when he’s with me. We shouldn’t work, I know this. Being with him is dangerous, I know this too. But I can’t be without him either.

His sins might belong in the dark, but I’m going to make sure he’s free of them, even if it means a few sins of my own.

Into The Dark is the thrilling conclusion to this dark romance duology, which began with A Dark Fall .

A gripping, fiery FIVE STAR sequel!

I would be hard pressed to find a book that had me falling in love with the dark romance genre more than ‘A Dark Fall’, the first in the series of the Dark Duology, because I was captivated from the first word to the last, but the sequel ‘Into The Dark’ might just be the crown stealer. Sequels are often the tricky sibling to a much stronger first born book baby, but the writing and story telling here by Drake is THAT good, that it just feels like a natural continuation of the first instalment and it’s certainly no worse off for being the second born in this amazing series.

Natural continuation of the first instalment.

There’ll most likely never be another couple that I adore more than the ever brooding Jake Lawrence and the wonderful Alex Marlowe. There’s just something about that good, respectable girl, straying over to the darker, and definitely filthier side of the tracks that always does it for me, and there’s no denying that Jake DEFINITELY does it for our Dr. Marlowe.

Gripping, tantalising and sexy.

Gripping, tantalising and sexy, with characters and plot that will definitely have you wishing this was a trilogy and not a duology, ‘Into The Dark’ is a real winner in the sequel stakes and figures high on my ‘must re-read’ list. A five star dark romance with high stakes and even hotter scenes!

One of my favourite books!!

This book had me feeling all the feels!

Wow, what a perfect book and a perfect way to end this duology! This book had me feeling all the feels! I was gripped from start to finish and could not recommend it enough!

Alex and Jake are just one of my favourite book couples, their connection was portrayed in the best way. Not only that but there was loads of super likeable characters throughout! I could read about Alex’s and Jakes story on and on and would LOVE some bonus content so I can just read more 😍 honestly one of my favourite books ever.

Scarlett is super talented and I’m excited to see and read more of her future work!
