Black & Blue: The Triad Series, book one; a story of forbidden love, between the psychologist and her patient

Rate this book
In Black & Blue ( “ Taming the Beast Within ” ), Natalia, a skilled therapist, finds herself drawn into a world of danger and desire as she attempts to unravel the enigmatic psyche of her patient, Ben Stone, known as Black. As she watches him in their therapy sessions, Natalia senses an undeniable spark, a love-hate tension that simmers beneath the surface. Black, with his rugged exterior and a past shrouded in shadows, exuded an air of danger that should have kept Natalia at a distance. Yet, she couldn't resist the allure of his troubled soul, sensing a profound loneliness he's struggled with for years.

Natalia's determination to heal the wounds of his past leads to navigate the treacherous waters of a love that defies ethics and boundaries. This journey is a slow burn, a tantalizing dance between opposites, as Black's traumatic past threatens to consume him. His volatile temper and the dark, violent side he battles to control only intensify Natalia's mission to unlock the secrets buried deep within him.

But as Natalia gets closer to the truth, danger lurks around every corner. Their relationship blurs the lines between professional boundaries and personal involvement, a slow-burning romance born from opposites attracting, a redemption arc, and the enduring power of the human heart.

Will love conquer all, or will the darkness within Black consume them both?

Una din cărțile mele preferate din Triadă. BLACK este cel mai intangibil personaj și totuși cu un suflet mare care este oricând gata să se sacrifice pentru cei dragi dar și unul dintre cei mai de temut. O carte care dacă te apuci de citit nu ai cum să o mai lași din mână. Merită să o ai în bibliotecă.

Black&Blue este povestea mea preferata din triada, iar Black este primul personaj din cartile autoarei pentru care eu am avut o simpatie mai aparte(nu si singurul). Actiunea acestei carti are darul de a ne purta pe multi dintre noi pe cararile amintirilor, ale capilariei, dar nu numai. Profunzimea trairilor personajelor ajunge foarte usor la citiror si face din aceasta poveste una sensibila si speciala. Felicitari, Ellen!
