Black Hearts

by A. Darling

After a shocking turn of events left Jess Rivers betrayed, heartbroken, and placed in a position she never envisioned being in, she is wrestling with herself. Torn between whether to keep her promise to get back together with Alexander Marc, the billionaire she unexpectedly fell for, or let him go, she must also choose whether to step into the offered position of madam at a renowned kink den. All the while, she pursues the hidden story of the very woman she’s made promises to.

Just as things begin to look up, a series of dangerous threats add complexity to her world, and it’s not the only thing to show up on her doorstep. Luca, a man shrouded in mystery and trauma, inserts himself into her life—in more ways than one. In spite of the chaos, Jess is determined to make sense of her muddled feelings for both the dominant billionaire and the persuasive bad boy.

Can she maintain her composure, sanity, and safety while thrust into a wild game of cat and mouse? Or, will it all end in unfulfilled hopes, bad decisions, and life-altering consequences?

OMG! A.M. Darling has done it AGAIN! I never thought that anything she wrote could be better than her first book Red Souls but I was proven wrong. As an ARC Reader for A.M. Darling I had the ability to dive into this book before everyone else and OMG I wasn't able to put it down. You can see the love and passion she has as an author through her writing. If you're into spicy romance books that are nsfw that has a some mystery to it too then this is definitely the book for you. As person that happens to be a part of the LGBTQIA+ community I feel that her book isn't gender specific and how ever you identify with your sexual orientation I feel her books and her as an author really accept and captivate everyone. Her books are like a pistachio once you start them you won't be able to put them down. A.M. Darling really knows how to get you addicted to her books and when you think you know whats gonna happen next she decides that she's going to put several spins to keep you at the edge of your seat. I've never been a big reader but I definitely have started reading a lot more due to her as an author because she has helped me figure out what I look for in the genre of books. I look forward to seeing what she puts out next.

Now bite your lips, cross your legs and sit back and enjoy the ride. Just be careful of the splash zone it can be quite wet.
