Ascending Darkness is the sequel to Darkness Deserved and is the conclusion of Harper and Breccan's complicated love story. Harper and Breccan have been going back and forth since they first met. Harper is constantly pushing him away while Breccan is persistent in his pursuit. Harper thinks she finally got her way, even though it broke her heart, she thought it was for the best. She needed to protect him from her horrible past, she couldn't share the horrors with him and knew it wasn't safe for him to be around her. Of course Breccan can't give up so easily on his dove, will he be able to change Harper's mind? Will Harper be able to overcome her tragic past and find her happily ever after?Ascending Darkness was an incredible and powerful conclusion to Harper and Breccan's story, I was in love with both of them after book one and couldn't wait to see what else happened. I was rooting for them the whole time and hoping that they could find a way to make it work. I found this book to be intense, dark and emotional but it was also filled with love, hope and healing. The author gave the readers quite a treat with numerous scorching hot sex scenes, Harper and Breccan are like wild animals and they can't get enough of each other. I loved it!Their relationship is still an emotional roller coaster even though Harper isn't pushing him away as much this time around. She has finally accepted his love and it is so sweet and beautiful, unfortunately they can't escape her past and this novel is filled with drama and suspense. There were quite a few moments in this novel that had me on the edge of my seat and kept me engrossed in the story.I couldn't put the book down, I knew something terrible was coming but I didn't know what. I fell even more in love with Harper as she began to open up bit by bit, she grew stronger with each secret she revealed and Breccan gave her what she truly needed, acceptance. Their story is so much more then just a romance, it is about the healing power of true love and acceptance. True love can conquer so many things and Harper and Breccan show us just how powerful that love can be.This book also reminds us that family doesn't necessarily mean blood relatives, the reader gets to know a little bit more about some of the wonderful secondary characters. I especially loved Brynn and Avery, they are the very definition of great friends and it shows many times in this book!The ending was pure perfection, I had tears of happiness streaming down my face. The reader gets to know what happens to most of the secondary characters in the epilogue, not just to Harper and Breccan, and I thought that was fantastic. Its not often that we get to know if all the characters get their happily ever afters and thank you Jessica Spoon for sharing those details with us! I look forward to more novels by this talented author!REVIEWED BY JAYMEE O'NEIL PINDAR FOR SUMMER'S BOOK BLOG
