Summary (from Goodreads):
Two strangers…
Makenna James thinks her day can't get any worse, until she finds herself stranded in a pitch-black elevator with a complete stranger. Distracted by a phone call, the pin-striped accountant catches only a glimpse of a dragon tattoo on his hand before the lights go out.
Four hours…
Caden Grayson is amused when a harried redhead dashes into his elevator fumbling her bags and cell phone. His amusement turns to panic when the power fails. Despite his piercings, tats, and vicious scar, he's terrified of the dark and confined spaces. Now, he's trapped in his own worst nightmare.
One pitch-black elevator…
To fight fear, they must reach out and open up. With no preconceived notions based on looks to hold them back, they discover just how much they have in common. In the warming darkness, attraction grows and sparks fly, but will they feel the same when the lights come back on?

Review:
Bookish friends are the absolute best, am I right? I was
texting with the wonderful Krista at Krista’s Dust Jacket, lamenting about the
fact that I was suffering from a massive book hangover. Which lead to talking
about what she was reading (Hearts in
Light). She was raving about this
book and I admitted I had never read HEARTS IN DARKNESS – which is a seriously
stupid oversight on my part because I know and adore the author, Laura Kaye.
Two seconds later an email flashes that Krista gifted me the book.
Of course I started it and devoured it immediately. This
book was totally what I needed, so thanks, Krista (and Laura)!
HEARTS IN DARKNESS is a small-ish book, a smidge longer
than your usual novella, but that just makes the fact that in 112 and pages
Kaye makes me fall in love with and adore Caden and Makenna all the better.
This book takes off with a bang and doesn’t quit.
The entire novel spans one night. Now, I can already hear
the internal “insta-love” grousing, but hold on a second. I think it’s crucial
to remember that Makenna and Caden spend hours trapped together in total
darkness with nothing to do but talk to each other. So tally up all that and
what does that time equal? Three or four dinner dates? Twelve phone calls? A
thousand texts? There’s a beautiful intimacy in that the way their relationship
begins and unfolds is because they have nothing to do but be with one another
and learn about one another.
HEARTS IN DARKNESS is a freaking fantastic little
powerhouse of a book. It’s a superfast read that you won’t want to quit.
Thankfully, Krista just introduced me to this book (as I am now telling you
about it) and you only have to wait a few days before the sequel, Hearts in Light, comes out.
In the meantime, HEARTS IN DARKNESS is available for your
reading pleasure for less than $1. You're welcome.
I almost grabbed this the other day, but opted for another book with hot cover and interesting synopsis. I will be sure to get it on my next haul. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like my kind of read. I'm grabbing this one!
