About the author
Hayley Landon
2 books10 followersHayley Landon writes dark romance for readers who aren't afraid to look too closely.
She's obsessed with the psychology underneath the darkness – the honest impulses we hide, the dangerous boundaries we cross, and the uncomfortable reasons we sometimes want what we know is bad for us.
She writes about desire that is inconvenient, dangerous, and impossible to explain. About the choices people make when instinct and reason are at war. About that poised space between wanting something and being willing to pay the price for it.
Her characters are fictional, but human – flawed and occasionally terrible at making sensible decisions. Her stories explore power, obsession, vulnerability, and the darker corners of human attachment without pretending that darkness makes anything simple. It's never about the darkness for the sake of darkness. It's always darkness for the sake of love.
If you're drawn to stories that leave you questioning where the line really is, you've found the right place.
More books are coming.
More dark corners, more complicated men, more women who should know better and don't.

Review of advance copy received from Author
After reading the first one, I was very curious to see where Gia and Dorian's story would lead us, and I was not disappointed because the second one is even better!
I have to start by saying that this one was a lot darker than the first, with the author being bolder in her choices, and I absolutely loved that. What I didn't like was the ending and, at times, Gia, but I guess anyone in her circumstances would be all over the place, going back and forth and not knowing what to choose.
What I definitely loved was Dorian because being bad suited him! I loved that he didn't suddenly change his whole personality just because of Gia, he simply adapted, and I think that suited his character perfectly.
Now, Hayley, you did me dirty with that ending, and you know it! I just hope it doesn't take too long until we get the end of their story because I suppose their HEA is... debatable. :D
