"She brought chaos to his ordered world so it has to be love."

Fresh Fiction Review

Romance Suspense

Lexie Dare should be ecstatic. She has finally invented a sought after intelligence program that governments are salivating over. Instead she is on a mission to stay alive -- at work and at home. Somehow she has wound up with an abusive fiancé and he isn't the only danger she faces.

Parker Black is the brains behind Titan Group, an elite security firm. In his world, everything is ordered and controlled. That is, everything but his feelings for his buddy's girl. Something in her eyes screams for help but he has no idea why? When she disappears, he knows he should have acted. The lines between friendships and work become blurred as they must find each other and work to survive a terrorist plot. One that only Lexi can unravel.

BLACK DAWN is edgy, steamy, action-packed and different. Usually when one reads a romance, even a suspense/romance you have: girl meets boy, they fall for each other, they fight the bad guys and live happily ever after. Well, BLACK DAWN is a bit different. In this one, the girl meets boy; he turns out to be a jerk; then she meets another guy who turns out to be a very good guy and the jerk's friend; they fight the bad guys including the first jerk; and live happily ever after. Lexie is a genius when it comes to computers and programs, but she has a number of secrets from her past and she fears letting others in. Parker is blindsided by his feelings for Lexie and it takes a bit for him to get his act together, when it is almost too late.

The action is non-stop; the characters believable in attitude and dialogue, and Lexie and Parker are made for each other with very similar backgrounds. I have to admit that this is the first of author Cristin Harber's Titan books I have had the chance to read, but BLACK DAWN is going on my TRA shelf and I will be looking for the others.

SUMMARY

What happens when nothing is as it seems? After inventing a sought-after intelligence program that foreign governments are salivating over, Lexi Dare is on a one-woman mission to stay alive. Both at home and at work. Because how did she end up with a ring on her finger and an abuser in bed as she readies to hit the high point in her career? Everything should be perfect. Amazing job. Handsome fiancé. It's all a disaster. Parker Black is the brains behind Titan Group, an elite security firm. In his world, everything is ordered and controlled, except what he feels for his buddy's girl. Something in her eye screams for help, but he has no idea what. When Lexi disappears, Parker realizes what he should have known. The lines blur between friendships and work, and they must find each other to survive as a terrorist plot that only Lexi can unravel draws closer. Black Dawn can be read as a standalone and does not have a cliffhanger.

love at the same time. Your review was spot on!!!
