⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hooked me in, but wish the fact it’s not a standalone had been clear.
Wealthy. Reclusive. Dangerous. Emerson LeBlanc doesn’t enter society much. He only ventures out in pursuit of new art
Emerson is an art collector who one day stumbles upon Daphne and becomes obsessed with her as well as her art. He decides he needs to collect her, just like a piece of art. Daphne is part of a powerful family with dark secrets, but has always longed to be free, living an independent life, free to choose to her own way and make her own path. This dark romance hooks you in from the beginning and keeps you reading.
Had a rough time figuring out how to rate this one. It’s well written with wording choices and imagery that work well with the dark romance and the art that features heavily in this story. But I was frustrated to realize this isn’t a standalone, and that whether this is a duet or trilogy or more isn’t mentioned or listed anywhere in the details for this book on retail sites. You discover it when you get to the end and hit a major cliffhanger and then the next book’s linked for pre-ordering, yet isn’t linked in the retail sites. This feels deceptive and misleading, and I struggled with how this would or should impact rating this story. The other issue I had while reading, is it felt like there was a lot going on with Daphne’s family – especially her brother Leo and his girlfriend Hayley. I started to feel I was missing information so went searching and discovered there is another series, that takes place at the same time as this story, featuring Leo and Hayley. This is the sort of information I like to have up front when reading or purchasing a book and I find it frustrating I had to work to find this.
Dark Reign hooked me in and kept me reading, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next installment.
