LOVE IN THE LIGHT is Book 2 in the Hearts of Darkness Duet by Laura Kaye. Getting to read both the books in this Duet series together has been as satisfying as eating a good dark chocolate.

The covers of both books have man, muscle and ink; ticking all the right boxes in my book. LOVE IN THE LIGHT continues the story of Makenna and Caden from HEARTS IN DARKNESS. After getting rescued from the "darkness" of being stuck in the life together, which brought them closer, they see each other for the first time in full light. That should be a happy moment right, but there is more of awkwardness in the air. But sweet Caden again breaks the awkward ice and gives us a swooning, knee-weakening kiss.

Falling for and getting to know each other mixed with sweet, sweet desire and love is a winning combination here. Their exploring each other's sweet spots, Caden's tattoos and scars is sensual. The conversations between the couple give me the warm fuzzies. The parts where Makenna does things she wouldn't normally do just for Caden's happiness is Ace, exactly how love should be—wanting to do things for each other not only out of love but for the right reasons too. Caden's efforts, even in small conversations with Makenna, to ensure he treats Makenna right and not end up throwing his frustrations at her is brilliant. LOVE IN THE LIGHT is one of the most beautiful and wholesome love stories I have read in a long time. There is no conflict in my mind to call it anything but a Love story(with a capital L). LOVE IN THE LIGHT is a freaking gorgeous Love story.
