Wow is the word for this novella. As much as I not like
stories leaving me in a lurch about what next, I happily
anticipate good things for the beautiful couple in HEARTS
IN DARKNESS by Laura
Kaye.
Caden's and Makenna's story starts when the lift
they are both in stops mid-way and plunges into
uncomfortable silence and darkness. Neither of them is
prepared
for it, and Caden more so. They start talking, Caden first
just to cope with his claustrophobia and also because he
likes the sound of Makenna's voice. I almost have a silly
crush on Caden; having previously only seen Makenna's
hair and not her face, he says sweet things to her.
Usually someone comes to the rescue of people stuck in a
lift within a few minutes, but that doesn't happen here.
Our
new lift mates are stuck in there for quite a long time.
A
tall, inked bad boy and a beautiful red-haired
beauty, literally strangers are stuck together. We only
know
how gorgeous they sound, but their getting to know each
other is part of the
story that made me mushy. I am sure you, too, will love it.
HEARTS IN DARKNESS
ends with them getting rescued and a short scene
post rescue, so there's the cliffhanger with loads of hope
and promise. If the story was to end here and continue
with the ever after left to the reader's imagination, I
would definitely give them a happily ever after.
A future with the beautiful couple happy, surrounded by a
gaggle of children and keeping the light alive in their
lives. HEARTS IN DARKNESS is warm and fuzzy and sees the
characters overcome
the darkness in their hearts and lives with each other's
help. This is a beautiful relationship off to a gorgeous
start.
Two strangers...
Makenna James thinks her day can't get any worse, until she
finds herself stranded in a pitch–black elevator with
a complete stranger. Distracted by a phone call, the
pin–striped accountant catches only a glimpse of a
dragon tattoo on his hand before the lights go out.
Four hours...
Caden Grayson is amused when a harried redhead dashes into
his elevator fumbling her bags and cell phone. His amusement
turns to panic when the power fails. Despite his piercings,
tats, and vicious scar, he's terrified of the dark and
confined spaces. Now, he's trapped in his own worst
nightmare.
One pitch–black elevator...
To fight fear, they must reach out and open up. With no
preconceived notions based on looks to hold them back, they
discover just how much they have in common. In the warming
darkness, attraction grows and sparks fly, but will they
feel the same when the lights come back on?
