“Mine” One day I’m gonna marry you”Dark Innocence by Madeline PryceIf you had the opportunity to read Madeline Pryce’s Dark Cravings book #1 of this delicious series you had the pleasure of meeting some absolutely Alpha, hot, sexy characters, and you got a little background about Hannah who is Ella’s sister.So Dark Innocence in theory is the novella about Hannah and a OMG Hot Hot Hot, protective, possessive Lion Shifter Dante.  I’m telling you I fell in love with Dante in the first book. Don’t ask me why but just something about him made you want to just melt into him.  That’s how this entire read is.Hannah who was cursed with an eidetic memory (photographic memory) remembers every single thing in her life.  Everything down to the last detail. After being abducted and tortured by Lizbeth Hannah took a spiral downward trying to numb the pain.  She turned to drugs, alcohol and meaningless sex to try and wipe her mind of the horrible event.  Two good things about that night were Dante and Ella.  As horrific as the scene was from Dark Cravings Hannah was rescued by Ella and Dante and from that moment on you got the feeling Dante would never ever let her go.  As Dark Innocence opens Hannah is at a Frat Party getting banged my some meat head.  She more or less is in a Zombie state between the drugs and alcohol, she could feel nothing.  When all said and done she ran from the house and the first person she called to come rescue her since she was to drunk and drugged to drive was Dante and the love story begins.Hannah always was infatuated with Eli and I really thought the two of them would get together.  But when certain scenes in this book played out Hannah quickly figured out what she felt for Eli and what she felt and got from Dante were totally different.  She needed her lion, she needed Dante.  He saw her differently than most and treated her differently.  Not like a porcelain doll on a shelf.  Don’t get me wrong he was super protective and possessive of her but he held back.  In one part where she makes up her mind to go seduce her Lion what she thinks is rejection is pure will power on his part.  My heart broke for both of them.  When she runs from his house and ends up in an accident because someone tampered with her brakes Dante explained why he resisted. I’ll clean it up a bit “She deserves better than a (here’s the clean version) quick roll in the hay.  My heart melted.I could go on and on but I really don’t want to give the story away.  You need to read for yourself and feel all the emotion put into their story.  I will say one thing however, a spoiler or not here goes:  When Hannah and Dante were going on their first official date to the Vault (where he worked) they were attacked and shot at.  Right there I held my breath thinking no this isn’t happening.  Dante and Hannah were taken captive by her stalker and Dante drugged and thrown into the trunk of the car.  What happened next had me fist pumping like crazy.  And yelling you go girl.  Hannah found the opportunity to use her training and attacked her captor. She even broke his neck.  When the world turned black around her she found herself waking up in a warehouse and all the torture came rushing back.  She saw Dante suspended and Vampires biting and drinking his blood.  Dante was able to stave off some but they kept coming.  It was here Hannah again pulled her strength and actually killed a vampire and tired to assist Dante with the battle when he was finally able to shift to his Lion.  What happened to Dante choked me and my eyes started to well up with tears.But in the end, yes in the end all turned out good.  I so want more of Hannah and Dante.Madeline Pryce I’m so glad I bought this series.  I give Dark Innocence 5*, if I could give it higher I would.  BUT I don’t want to wait until summer for Dark Secrets.
