Two months after the fateful day when they were trapped in
an elevator, Makenna James and Caden Grayson are still
together. Makenna is dying to tell Caden she loves him, but
still hasn't uttered the words. Caden is happier than he's
ever been, but nightmares still plague him. He can never
forget the horrendous accident that killed his mother and
younger brother, and left him damaged, mostly
psychologically. Caden still doesn't feel deserving of
happiness or love. Caden and Makenna are now leaving for
Philadelphia to spend Thanksgiving weekend with her family.
Caden is stressed out like he hasn't been in a while; will
he be accepted by the James family, how will they react to
a
scarred man covered in tattoos and piercings, will he be
good enough...
LOVE IN THE LIGHT is the long-awaited follow-up to the
astounding HEARTS IN DARKNESS, my expectations were
sky-high, and Laura Kaye met every one of them. I expected
an emotional read, which does not even begin to describe
LOVE IN THE LIGHT. I wept, not out of sadness or pity for
Caden, but for his suffering, his pain; those were tears of
empathy, of helplessness; Ms. Kaye conveys masterfully the
anguish he's going through, and the descent into hell did
not happen quite the way I expected. LOVE IN THE LIGHT does
not pull at your heartstrings; Laura Kaye's understanding
of
the deep emotions is well-known, but never has she probed
the darkest corners of the human psyche as she does here.
LOVE IN THE LIGHT is an extraordinarily textured story of
what it means to live, to love, and to hope. I read it in
one sitting, and I don't honestly know if I could have
stopped. LOVE IN THE LIGHTT is a remarkable story, intense,
and very powerful.
Two hearts in the darkness
Makenna James and Caden Grayson have been inseparable since
the day they were trapped in a pitch-black elevator and
found acceptance and love in the arms of a stranger. Makenna
hopes that night put them on the path to forever—which can’t
happen until she introduces her tattooed, pierced, and
scarred boyfriend to her father and three over-protective
brothers.
Must fight for love in the light
Haunted by a childhood tragedy and the loss of his family,
Caden never thought he’d find the love he shares with
Makenna. But the deeper he falls, the more he fears the
devastation sure to come if he ever lost her, too. When
meeting her family doesn’t go smoothly, Caden questions
whether Makenna deserves someone better, stronger, and just
more…normal. Maybe they’re just too different—and he’s far
too damaged—after all…
