'Twas The Darkest Night (A New Gotham Fairy Tale)I received a free copy, through LoP, in exchange for a review.As a witch and owner of a slightly failing shop, Bits and Pieces, Elsa never ventures to far from home. The mystery surrounding what she is and her negative attitude makes it easier for her just to stay away from others, as much as possible. Unfortunately, she does have an over the top beautiful, successful vampire tenant living upstairs from her shop. But, neither of them are what they seem and one day, Marshall propositions Elsa, for a job. She helps him figure out who this reclusive fey owner of clothing label Sinister Stitches is, so he can try to win her over to his marketing firm and in return, he would help her with her own store and bring it into the black. But, neither of them knew what would happen when they mascaraed around as a couple and what that will lead to.'Elsa's reflection in the car window caught his attention. Seated with her back straight and her attention to the scenery, she looked beautiful in the understated, classy dress. His eyes clung to her mouth, to the frown ever set there. What would she look like if she smiled? He'd seen a shadow of amusement, but the small flickers of humor died as fast as they surfaced. Washed away like waves against the sand. Leaving no trace on her stern countenance.'Wow, talk about a lot of Dom sex scenes! The story overall was interesting, but I felt like every time the actual story line started, oh hold on, here comes the next saga of their sexual tension and onward. I'm not a prude or anything, but I find that it can be a bit much and so I will have to admit that I skimmed over these parts, in order to get to the plot. I know that this is part of the plot, but I'm just not that into it. I did like Elsa's character and her background story, along with Marshall and the ending was great. A little on the long side, but overall, if you are into Dom/Sub and paranormal characters, I think this would be great for you!
