Review: Dark & Intense
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 09 26, 2013
There were a few places within the first 50% of the book where I thought about stopping. I'm not a huge fan of extremely dark or disturbing storylines. I know there are quite a few bestsellers out there featuring some intense subject matter that I've avoided purely because I know I won't like them. I gave this book a chance on a whim and I'm glad I did. The book is well written. It's a mix between erotica/romance/thriller/mystery. It's a very rags to riches tale featuring an unlikely exotic dancer and an extremely secretive, wealthy man.  The author does a good job slowly letting us into the plot. You spend a good portion of the book floundering around- not having a clue what is going on. As the storyline progresses so to does the characters. By the final chapter I was extremely glad I had stuck it through to the end. I don't think there's a follow-up to this series but I find myself wishing there was just to see the progression the characters make.
