Black Dawn

Rate this book
Parker Black wants the one woman he shouldn’t have—his buddy’s girl. She's sweet and smart, but clueless about how deep Parker lives in Titan’s virtual world. Everything is controlled. Chaos is mastered. Black and white data and risk analysis. That is the way he understands his world, how he plays his role to keep Titan teams alive.

But he’s wrong.

About everything.

Lexi Dare lives two lives. She’s an unhappy fiancée stuck in a spiraling relationship, unsure how she ended up with a ring on her finger and an abuser in her bed. But she’s also elusive. Elite. A master hacker playing deadly stakes.

When the lines blur and the truth comes out, Lexi’s only shot at survival is the trust of her rival—her equal—before it’s too late.

Re-read April 2023 because .... Parker Black. This is still a 5 star read and still one of my all time favourite RS books, because .... Parker Black. ❤️️

Re-read June 18 because I needed me some Parker in my life and I know I'm guaranteed a brilliant read. I've started and ditched so many books lately I've decided to go back to my favourites, Black Dawn being one of them. My original review still stands:

Really enjoyed this one, Parker was so unexpected (in a really good way). A computer geek that had it GOING ON in a big way, and really hot to boot. Parker is THE hero of the series by a million miles, loved his alphaness sans beating his chest, he's super intelligent and knows how to string a sentence together, he listened to Lexi and didn't mess her about - he was IN from the get go.

If it wasn't for the fabulousness of all that's Parker I probably wouldn't have 5 starred this because Lexi. She was a bit of an idiot at first, but she grew on me when she got over herself and walked away from Matt the mofo.

There is abuse (physical, mental and sexual), a trigger for some. Which is why I so totally got why Lexi put up with Matt the mofo until she woke up and realised she did not need to put up with his crap. She wasn't alone, and how Parker stepped up to the plate for her was bloody awesome.

Black Dawn is fabulous addition to the Titan series.

This story had a very interesting plot. Enough elements to keep the reader on their toes. Action. Intrigue. Lexi and Parker are combustible together. I really enjoyed Parker's alpha personality, sexy and nerdy. Lexi is a strong fmc in a bad situation and I don't fault her for having stayed as long as she did, nor do I think her weaker for it. The love scenes were very well writing and wrapped up in great pacing.

From the start of The Titan Series, I have been in intrigued by Parker Black. He is The Titan Group "Go-To" for all things technology. He can hack into almost anything and has amazing abilities to save the day from the confinds of his computer. I was more than delighted to learn more about Parker Black in Black Dawn. It was fantastic to see the man come out from behind his keyboard and show what he is really made of.

Lexi Dare has two distinct sides to her; professional and personal. Though she is among the best in her field professionally, her personal life is turning her into a shell of the woman she used to be. She is fighting to free herself from the control of a domineering, abusive man.

When her professional life collides with danger, Lexi has to trust her instincts. She attempts to hide in plain site and be untraceable, but even she can't run from Parker Black.

Cristen Harber took a different turn with this story. Though she still infused Black Dawn with suspense and combustible chemistry, there was so much more to the storyline. I devoured this book as I burned through the pages to find out what would happen next.

PS- Jeffrey Kafer does an amazing job of narrating this story. His performance only enhances Cristin's work. His ability to make the characters come to life continued to keep me hooked on this book!

This would have been 5 stars if not for the way too long spent with Matt the abusive, rapist fiancé. Gotta say it was upsetting to read but I was infuriated that she kept putting her puppy in danger. Yep my priorities are screwed up. I was tempted to stop reading. It just went on too long. I was so frustrated she did not leave him on several occasions she had the opportunity.

But once it was over I was all in and loved the rest. Parker was awesome on many levels and I ended up liking Lexi a lot more. All in a great addition to the series although if I reread I may skip the first few chapters.

Parker, smoking hot Titan tech guy! He was amazing, so perfect for Lexi. Why didn't he meet her two years ago? Love this book. It didn't start like the others which had me wondering for a minute, but I still loved it. Still plenty of action, suspense, romance, and sex. Great epilogue. Loved seeing Jared, Winter and all the pregnant ladies. Plus they are bringing in three new team members...yes, more Titan boys for me.

Enjoyable. This one wasn't as suspenseful as the previous books in the series, but the characters were great. And it's about time Parker got his HEA, so that was good. It sounded like there's more books to come too, which made me happy. Overall, a pretty good read.

Parker Black’s world is very black and white. There's no room for gray in his controlled Titan environment. Chaos does not reign—it's mastered through data and risk analysis. Parker doesn't “do” risky—especially not risky like going after the one woman he's wanted for years.

Lexi Dare lives a double life. In one she's a miserable fiancée, stuck in a horrible relationship that's getting worse by the day—more abusive too. In the other, she's an elite, master hacker—one highly regarded in the hacker world. One coveted by legitimate organizations, who’d like to use her skills for good, and also coveted by those who'd like nothing but to unleash her skills on the masses for bad, potentially deadly, deeds.

What happens when hacker meets Titan? When the lines blur and gray out? When lives are at stake—can Parker and Lexi share some of their secrets with each other or is the risk too great?

Another fantastic, on-the-edge-of-your-seat installment of the Titan series! Doesn't get much better than smokin’ hot, black ops, Alpha males and the women in their lives. I loved seeing a “humanized” Parker—a person behind the computer geek whose role is to keep the rest of the Titan team alive through technology.

And Lexi. Holy crap. That woman is put through hell and back yet she's still strong as steel and willing to sacrifice herself for the good of others. I loved Parker and Lexi together as much as I loved the good natured ribbing of Parker by his Titan teammates and their wives. Can't wait for the next one!! ~ Missy, 4.5 stars

Holy unicorn nuts dipped in awesomesauce! Cristin Harber is genius and when she puts pen to paper she draws a world so realistic, it's like I'm part of the action.

Black Dawn is Parker Black and Lexi Dare's story. Lexi aka SilverChaos is an underground computer hacker who has created a highly coveted program called Monarch. She is currently engaged to a very abusive asshole and has a dog named Bacon Byte. Lexi captured my heart from the start. She is smart, strong and loyal almost to a fault. She does struggle with low self-esteem and abandonment issues. I felt her pain, struggle and fear. I connected with her and my heart went out to her. I know what it's like to be in a domestic violence situation very similar to hers. I haven't been in that situation since 2001.

Parker aka BlackDawn, as we all know, is part of the Titan Group, which is an elite team of exmilitary special ops. Parker is also very involved in the underground hacker scene. His world is very black and white, structured, a man that speaks numbers and code, statistics and risk analysis and everything is mapped out. He is the very definition of a geek but in the body of an Adonis. I've been waiting for Parkers story for so long and I was not disappointed. He is seriously swoon worthy and book boyfriend material. Who wouldn't want a knight in shinny armor, armed with a weapons, computer skills, and killer abs to come and sweep you off your computer. Nerd-girl-gasm *THIS GIRL*

"Sweetheart, I just finger-fucked you in the back of my car. Not a raving sign of chivalry."

That first sex scene in Parkers car gave me a swarm of butterflies in my belly. It wasn't even that long of a scene, but it was so amazingly hot. I loved it. Then, the safe house scene.... umm... this scene really spoke to my... crotch. The rest of the sex scenes were also really damn good, but these two are my stands outs.

"He slowly stroked himself. "Got me naked. Wasn't my plan, so what do you want-"
She cut him off with her hands covering his. He quickly switched their fists so that the hot, silky flesh was directly under her touch, and his hands clamped tightly on tip of her.


description

The story itself isn't really a Titan op. It's something that Parker is doing on the side that brings this to the Titans front door and makes it personal. The story is very well developed, totally believable and a little frightening. The story pacing is perfect, filled with action and suspense which makes this book hard to put down. I felt like my heart was going to pound out of my chest a couple of times during some of the more suspenseful scenes.

fuck a doodledoo

Overall, this is another kick ass and awesome addition to the Titan series. From the beginning to the very end I was captivated with heart gripping adventure, love, suspense and I was glued to the pages. Cristin Harber is a wizard with her Titan series and I can't get enough. She paints a world so vivid that I can literally see the movie playing in my head. Actually, I think this series would translate really well to the movies. I would be first in line to purchase that ticket! Cristin Harber crushed this. We even get a little tidbit that Titan may be expanding and recruiting in the future. I can't wait to see whats next!

Tremors. According to the web it means an involuntary quivering movement. A sudden feeling of fear or excitement. And the most common definition for this is slight earthquakes. You know, a few little ones before the big one. All these directly relate to how I felt reading Black Dawn by Cristin Harber.

Involuntary quivering movement...absolutely. How could you not have this reaction when we are dealing with Parker Black.

'The guy was into numbers, which she totally got. When they talked sports, Parker talked statistics. When they talked news, his answers were based on risk and analysis. All of which magnified his smoldering blue eyes and tussled near-black hair. Intelligence made a man crazy attractive. His broad chest and sculpted butt were pretty amazing too.'

Sudden feeling of fear or excitement...bullseye. From the very beginning I felt fear. Fear is the most prominent feeling throughout the beginning of this book. In fact, I remember messaging Cristin Harber just to say, “You are scaring the shit out of me! I don't want to turn the page!” Excitement quickly follows and I could feel myself take a deep breath, and quietly think to myself, 'Thank god for Parker.'

'It was as if her savior had shown up, even though he had no idea she'd cast him in the role.'

And finally the most common definition, slight earthquakes....This hits the nail on the head for me. In most books we get the gasping HOLY SHIT moment in the end. Not with Black Dawn. Cristin gives us so many moments to think, 'WTF, I just started reading this book! I can't be freaking out already!'

Question...what do cliffhangers, earthquakes and Cristin Harber all have in common? Don't know? Here is the answer. They all have you hiding under a table with your head between your knees while rocking back and forth mumbling to yourself.

Like to live on the edge??? BUY. THIS. BOOK. This is one earthquake you will love. It's no surprise I give Black Dawn 5 ground shaking stars.

Oh my word!!!! Gotta catch my breath.... what a ride!

Parker and Lexi!! Oh my goodness!!! These two totally blew me out of the water!! I wasn't sure exactly what to expect, seeing that while Parker has been around since the beginning of the series, he was the quieter brains/tech guy behind the ops for the most part and we didn't hear a whole lot from him. There's a bit of a different feel to this story from the rest of the series -- and that's what makes this book amazing in it's own right!

Cristin Harber has yet to fail in delivering on all the emotions! She captured my attention from the beginning and provided the sweet, the heart-pounding, the heat, the tension, the tears, the comfort, the surprising twists and turns. Parker left no doubt in my mind the kind of Titan man he was, but in a more unique kind of way. And when it's time for his hackles to rise to get your attention and protect his girl - better watch out!! Lexi burrowed deep into my heart quickly with her mix of worldly innocence. They complimented each other with their differences and similarities - basically, they were simply perfect for each other! Meant to be!

You do not want to miss out on experiencing Parker and Lexi's story. It's beauty. It's Titan.

Along with the main story, there were several memorable scenes with favorite characters from previous stories - I giggled and swooned a lot with them!

Thanks Cristin for giving us readers another great Titan story!!

Alright, I'm just gonna come right out and say it. READ THIS BOOK! Ok, only if you've already read the others in the series. You don't have to read the others, but you'll be kicking yourself if you don't.

The Titan series as a whole is amazing and each book has its own little things that pull you in and keep you there. But for me, Parker is on his own level.

I honestly have been worried about writing this review and I'm sure I'm not going to do Cristin Harber or Parker Black justice with this. There are things that I want to say and I probably should say here, but I can't.

This is most definitely a 5 star read. If more stars were available, it would be the highest rating.

Black Dawn is an eye-opening, emotional, sweet, sexy, suspenseful ride... and now I will go send Cristin Harber an email, to say all the things I couldn't say here.

I was lucky to receive an ARC for this book and devoured it in one day Cristin Harber has done it again these TITAN Men will literally rock your world. We met Parker Black Titans tech genius in Winters Heat and have had glimpses of him through out the rest of the books but this is his story and you definitely don't want to miss it.


This book starts off very differently to the others we are introduced to some secondary characters and the main female character Lexi Dare. Lexi Dare has lived her life the best she can but one things she craves is the love of a family so when she meets Matt and he offers her this she takes hold of it and doesn't want to let go even when she knows she has too. Lexi is also a tech geek and whilst Matt her finance thinks she playing games on her laptop she's creating program's hacking and living her secret life as Silverchaos and helping Black Dawn out on some ops when he needs the extra help. These two have never met face to face but understand each other as others cant, they think in numbers, strategies, risk and analysis.


Parker Black is Titans tech genius always looking for the next cyber challenge/threat he comes across as quiet and different to the other Titan men as we don't hear of him jumping from helicopters, fighting in the physical sense but this book shows that he's just as physical as the rest of the Titan men and can definitely hold his own in and out of the War Room.

Parker and Lexi have known each other for 2 years now as he is also friends with Matt, Parker has known Matt since he was a child but their friendship is about to take a turn when he finds Matt and Lexi in a situation he doesn't approve of and intervenes but Matt has a hold over Lexi and uses her weakness at every chance he can.


Lexi's life is about to change in more ways than one and she will need the help of her trusted friend Parker but also Silverchaos is going to need the help of her cyber friend Black Dawn. I don't want to give too much away but please go get your copy you are definitely going to devour this book and fall in love with Parker Black his quiet strength and sinful body will leaving your wanting more.


It's also good to see some of our favourite Titan men and women showing up in this book Colby and Mia Winters, Jared Westin, Rocco, Sugar, Beth and Nicola plus we also get the names of 3 new Titan Men so I can say that I don't think this will be the last book in the series plus the epilogue to this book will literally leave you laughing out loud.


Well Done Cristin on another great book keep up the hard work we do truly appreciate it.

Foul mouthed and stupid men populate this book, in which a woman who has been through foster homes has gained a boyfriend who really doesn't deserve a live woman. From page one she is calling him - mentally - a jerk, violent, abusive, alcoholic, violent when drunk, rapist, threatening to kill her dog as he's a control freak. No woman who could earn a good living in any kind of job would stay with this man.

The lady is secretly a hacker who works with others to earn money from blackmailing companies. They have gained a compromising access to a social site like facebook but used by the families of military people in America. So it never occurs to them that the US government is going to track them down because if they do this once they'll do it again. Not very bright, and these people are usually paranoid.

We don't see any actual hacking techniques, we're just told that they are writing code very fast. Hacking would often be done by finding some information about a firm, like ringing a branch office in another country and using a name of an IT manager who needs to change a code for access or something. But we don't see any of that happening, so the book has the appearance of being about hackers but really isn't. It might as well be spies.

A big burly guy who takes the fleeing lady under his wing after things go badly wrong, brings her home to his tech cave / arms dump, well it is America, and decides that there's nothing a stressed out, terrified, shocked lady who is being hunted by bandits and government would like better than... a nice hot bath? To wash her hair? A change of clothes into something warmer? A glass of wine and some finger food? A cup of cocoa and a rest? No, actually, he thinks she'd like some sex. What's more, the lady doesn't think the first few activities they get up to constitute sex. Yes they do. This is the Clinton defence. If it's not sex what is it, personal grooming?

If you love action stories with many mentions of motorbikes, hackers and swear words, and plenty of the other, you can enjoy this as a mindless read.

An ARC copy was supplied to me and this is an unbiased review.

Everybody who has read the Titan series has their own ideas and wishes of how Parker Black should be, but nothing will prepared you for discovering the true man that was responsible for the success of multiple missions. Stereotypes be damned. Black Dawn differs from the other books in the series because Mrs. Harber is true to her character's personality, and Parker Black is indeed an elite character. This book will take you into the intimate inner life of brilliant people that have immense difficulties participating, integrating, and understanding what the world calls normal life. Geniuses that are vulnerable when facing safe choices, feelings, trust, and love.

Lex is a young, good hearted woman that will steal your heart from the very beginning. She possess a brilliant mind, but she struggles with the pain and insecurities of not having a family of her own, a place where she belongs. Looking for what she desires the most she has the misfortune of meeting a man she mistakes for Prince Charming and survives him by immersing herself in the designing of social media, programming, and her hacker elite group of loners.

Parker, a loner, ex marine, analytical genius, elite hacker, and member of the Titan, is thrown into a situation that overwhelms him with the desperate need to learn how to deal with and understand his feelings for a woman that is collapsing his black and white view of life. He embarks on a journey into the unknown, where he has to learn to color outside the lines. Parker and Lex team up on a mission that will change their lives and that can jeopardize their lives forever. I believe that they are truly perfect for each other.

Parker Black is that perfect mix of alpha hero, wicked intellect and incredible sensitivity and sweetness. Cristin Harber has constructed the man to make every girl with her "nose in a book" loose her breath.

The intrigue and action was more than enough to keep you on the edge of your seat, and seeing glimpses of old Titan friends just made everything better if you are a raging Titanholic, like me.

There is also a message in this book--an unspoken dedication to every woman who ever felt that she "was not that girl" that she had become. From all of us who have been there, thank you, Ms. Harber.

My Review:
I have several books from this series in my to-be-read pile, but I've never actually read this author before and hello...she writes my genre...romantic suspense. And I'll give you a hint...she does a fantastic job with it.

There are two covert hackers at the center of this novel. SilverChaos is the heroine. In the computer world, she's seriously badass and is developing a new highly-in-demand program that is set to make serious waves. But in her real life, she's Lexi. A girl who grew up being shuffled around the foster system with no place to call home. As a result, when she meets Matt, she just wants to belong to someone. He's good with that and completely views her as a thing that he owns. For such a smart girl, when it comes to this relationship, she's really, really dumb.

SilverChaos has a friend who she helps out online sometimes. That person is BlackDawn. In all actuality he's Parker and works for Titan, a super-sexy, covert military contracting operation. He also happens to be friends with Matt. They've been friends for years, although Parker has no idea who the real Matt is.

There are a lot of different layers to this story. You have the abusive relationship between Matt and Lexi. Then there's the awesome group aspect that comes from Titan (I do love stories that has that team aspect like is found in Titan.) There is the wonderful geekdom that comes from the hacking world, and although I know nothing about all that they were talking about, I loved that slightly nerdy aspect to these serious kickass characters. Then there's the romance brewing between Parker and Lexi. I loved that despite Matt, that's something that's been between them (their friendship, although they had no idea who the other was in real life) for over ten years.

It was a great read, overall. I liked the high-octane danger and the incredible chemistry between Parker and Lexi. My only slight complaint came because of Lexi's character. She's this super-smart character, but there were moments when that just didn't come across the page. It started with her relationship with Matt, but there were glimpses of it in other places, too. I just expected her intelligence to come across the page more, but I'm probably being too nit-picky. I know that her relationship with Matt made me more critical of her, even though she had good reasons from her childhood why she stayed. She's a smart girl...it just seemed like she should have been able to take Matt out somehow through her computer skills to give herself time to escape.

But seriously, that was my only mild niggle with this one. Otherwise, it was super-fun, high-adrenaline reading. I loved the 'nerd' aspect of it especially in light that both of these computer nerds are anything but that. It was fun!

I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for an honest review.

I tried really hard to like this but I'm quitting at 56%. I just cannot get into it and I don't care anything for the characters. The heroine is really confusing as a character and as such not all that likeable. And I don't REALLY know why the hero likes her.
Sorry, this one didn't work for me.

Full Review now posted!
{ here }

My goodness gracious, did I enjoy this book. I mean, how could I not -- it's Cristin and it's Titan! I've always liked Parker but wasn't super fan-girl over him and when I first sat and started to read the book, I wasn't quite sure it was going to live up to my Titan expectations but...

Five hours later, I knew that it did.

It's slightly different than those other Titan boys, but that's just because it's the book for boy genius Parker Black. I loved seeing what is 'behind the scenes' in the other Titan books. Parker has himself a temper when he's in the war room, just he and Boss Man, trying to get their boys out of tight spots. And when he needs an extra code or two to help the hacking? He goes to his 1/3-of-his-life hacking friend SilverChaos, and between those two, they've always gotten Titan out of tough spots.

I loved watching Parker with not only his military mouth, but the man has some fight in him too. He's just as much of a fighter as his friends/co-workers, you just don't get to see it in the other books.

Equally, I enjoyed that Cristin goes to that dark place again (see: SAVAGE SECRETS). Another gutsy move, but she pulls it off brilliantly.

AND! Cristin put out the little rumor that there may be more Titan guys... Sure enough, we get (verbally) introduced to three men, one of which has worked with Winters in the past.

OH! (So much excitement) We get a whole lot more Mia and Colby in this book and I. Just. LOVED. It! Winters and Parker are good friends, and Parker trusts Mia's judgement, so... I know, I know, we see these two a lot as they're always the base of parties (everyone likes Mia's cooking) but we get a lot of Mia and Winters in here and I very much enjoyed that.

So yes. That's a 'brief' look at my feelings for this book... ;)

Title: Black Dawn

Author: Cristin Harber
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Suspense
Pages: 279
Heat Level: 3 out of 4 flames
Overall Star Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Reviewed by Naughty Book Snitch Kay

Harber's latest installment brings as two very savvy computer geeks. Don't let description fool you, these two geeks are hot. They've been circling each other knowingly and unknowingly for years. Parker Black is the tech expert for Titan. He's also known in hacker circles as Black Dawn. He's made quite a name for himself in both of these identities.

Lexi Dare is the fiancee of one of Parker's friends. Parker has always thought of Lexi in a romantic sense but has never acted on it because of Matt. When he discovers the abuse that Lexi has suffered at Matt's hands, all his protective instincts come out. Lexi's alias in the hacker world is Silver Chaos. She's confident, successful and talented. That's her work persona. At home, she's an abused woman who desperately wants to be loved and be part of a family. She is facing the fact that she doesn't love Matt and she knows she needs to leave him. When Parker walks in on Matt abusing her, she puts a plan in place to leave.

When she leaves, she realizes that she has even bigger problems. Someone wants her new custom built computer program and they will do anything to get it. She has to turn to Parker and her online hacker friend, Black Dawn. When the two realized who each other were, I giggled.

I liked this book but I didn't love it. It seemed to drag in parts for me. That has never happened to me with a Cristin Harber book, so perhaps, it was me and not the book. I still remain a Harber fanatic and look forward to her next book.

I absolutely cannot get enough of the Titan guys, and if like me you have read this series from the beginning then you have been waiting for Parker Blacks story. I mean hello the nerdy hot tech guy......Everyone knows that nerds literally rule the world, and in this hot book, Parker will rule yours for however long it takes you to finish the book.

Lexi Dare also known in the cyber world of hackers and coders as Silver has known Parkers alter ego BlackDawn for years now. They have never met in person, but she has helped him out with ops plenty of times when he has need online assistance. Lexi is also engaged to the worlds biggest douche bag of all times. He controls her by constantly manipulating her and has even resorted to physical violence. He also happens to be friends with Parker as they grew up together. Which means Lexi knows Parker and has sort of had a crush on him for a while. Especially since she is no longer in love with her fiance, but is too afraid to leave him.

When Parker walks in on Matt abusing Lexi, he steps in and that is finally when Lexi has the courage to leave Matt.

In the mean time, Lexi has written a program that she is getting ready to sell when a terrorist groups steps in to try and steal her program.

This book is action packed from start to finish, and I loved how Lexi finally was able to start reclaiming herself after all her years of abuse at Matts hands.

Parker was all kinds of sexy and the sex scenes were super hot....

Another great Titan book and the good news is, there are a few more members joining the team, which means more books....whoo hoo!!!

From being to end of Black Dawn readers will be hooked unable to stop reading.
Cristin Harber has once again created an entire world where men are Alpha's who wanted to protect and women can kick butt and are force to be recon with.
This time around Cristin Harbar took on a touchy subject of physical, emotional and verbal abuse. The book had humor when it was needed,nail biting action, romance that will have the reader sighing.
I loved Westin's Chase with the moments of oh crap is this really happening. Black Dawn had Holy Cow I can't stop reading in fear something might happened to the characters while I am gone.

Black Dawn is an action pack roller coaster that will have you wondering what will happen next. Lots of hot sex, a little too much F word for me but I looked past it as the story kept me reading.

I have to admit I thought the story ended a little too quick but over all its a great Military Romantic suspense novel that reader will no be disappointed with.

Advance Copy Sent from Netgalley for my honest review.

I LOVE THIS BOOK

I've skipped around a bit on the arc's for this series, but have read enough to know 'who's who'. Good thing, because this is one of those series that brings previous characters in for updates on their lives.

'Black Dawn' wasn't so much a Titan Op as it was a story about Parker's side hobby of hacking and creating programs on the sly. When another hacker, Silver Chaos, creates a program that's wanted by some very bad guys, Parker jumps in to help out. Little does he know that the hacker he's been working with is in reality his old buddy's girlfriend Lexi; who is being verbally and physically abused by her boyfriend Matt.

An engaging and sexy romp, although the early part of the story paints a harrowing story of abuse.

ARC from NetGalley for honest review.

Black Dawn wasn't my favorite. Not even close. I just didn't feel the suspense like I did in the other books of the series.
Lexi is so smart but it's almost like she has no common sense. She's running from crazy people but she answers the phone when it says "Unknown Number" and nobody says anything when she does answer... Like HELLOOOOO! Parker shouldn't have let that shit happen. He's too good for that. So I was a little disappointed in him on that part.
Anyways... This just wasn't my favorite. It was good. Not great. I still need more Titan!

Cristin Harber has done it again!!!

This talented lady has given us a fly by the seat of your pants novel, that has your heart pounding in some places and melting in others

Parker Black proves himself to be a Titan male through and through and Lexi Dare is his most suitable match

As my friends know Savage secrets is my favourite titan novel and this book is now in close second, I loved Parker but not as much as Rocco *swoon*

I really hope this book isn't the last that we see of the Titan boys
Cristin Harber get writing another!! Haha

Loved this book, I hope you all do to!

Ahh I loved this!! Parker and Lexi were made for eachother and to think she was going to marry the drunk guy! At first I read what it was about and thought oh she's in love with the boyfriend best friend ugh but Reading more of it , it wasn't how I expected glad Parker shut down the relationship. Parker was great a nerd but a hot nerd which was a surprise, Even tho lexi seemed weak at first she came out strong just like the rest of the titan girls. I loved the epilogue we got to seem more of the other men's future super cute!

The long awaited Parker Black is here and Cristin Harber didn't let me down. That was awesome, never a dull moment from start to finish. I couldn't put it down. Great epilogue, maybe with that time frame we could be seeing the start of the next generation of the Titan Group.
