So good i couldn't put it down once i started

Reagan... You, girl, kick butt! This book was so good; I could not put it down. I heard a lot of good things about this book, so when I noticed I had the opportunity to read it, I did not hesitate to snatch it up! This book starts out on an epic rollercoaster ride of emotions and does not let you off until the last page. When I say page turner, I mean a serious page-turner.
Lacey is one strong heroine. You get to see her battle as a child when she loses her parents, and then as she gets older and life just doesn't seem to let up on her. Aaron, let me just say, ugh! I wanted to like him, I did! But a turn f events just made me despise him. Then you have Cory. MMM, Cory. Anyways, he is just another one of those characters that add to the many twists and turns of this amazing read!

FINDING STRENGTH (A CLUB DARK NOVEL)
by Reagan Hollow
I was so looking forward to this book after reading the first one and it didn't disappoint. Although it can seem long in parts as you are kept on the edge waiting to see what happens between Lacey and Cory you also get to feel the love and strength they pull from themselves and each other. These characters will grab your heart and not let go. They will have you yelling, crying, cheering and everything in between as you read their journey. With the added bonus of not only getting to see Lacey and Cory make it through their journey but the supporting characters of Amber and Alex keep you just as entranced as the main characters. Really can't wait to see what happens in the future with Amber and Alex and will be hoping for many updates of Lacey and Cory in the future. So thankful this series was recommended to me.

Finding Strength is the second installment of A Club Dark series. Lacey and Cory's story continues, and just like in Finding Home, their troubles and unfortunate luck continues. Poor Lacey awakes to an even bigger nightmare. Kidnapped by her ex, she is thrown into a world that is just as unpredictable as her ex's moods. Starved, tortured emotionally and physically, Lacey's only will to live is Cory.
Cory finally allowed love back into his life only for it to be taken away once again. Losing Lacy is not an option. He'll stop at nothing to get her back and make the man that took her away pay. However the loss of his past love, and the feelings of that loss creep back into his memory, making Cory depressed, angry and destructible. Only Amber can get through to him, making him see that he can't give up and that Lacey needs him more than ever. But can Cory get to her before it is too late?
Reagan Hollow just keeps getting better and better. The love that Cory and Lacey share is excepting and unconditional. It's beautiful to watch how two broken souls help heal each other and become one. Finding Strength brought out so many different emotions in me. I mostly was in awe of the strength Lacey demonstrated throughout the book. Beautifully written Ms. Hollow. I can not wait for Amber and Alex's story.

After reading the first one, which left reader with quite a bit of a hangover, this one picks up where that one left off. I don’t want to give too much away so this review will be short into the point. The author did a good job with keeping me on the edge of my seat wondering what was gonna happen with Lacey. Right from the start my heart was pounding, and as the story went on I kept rooting for Lacey to overcome everything from her past and what’s going on in the present. My heart really broke with everything she has to endure to get her HEA but the journey was worth every challenge.
Cory Cory Cory. He is hot! That’s what y’all need to know about him. I loved every piece of him. He’s one of those hero’s that you gravitate towards. Supportive and understanding, I loved Cory so hard. There’s so much more I want to say but at the risk of spoiler I won’t. I can’t wait to see what this author writes next. She has the ability to weave a story, but keep reader right in the action and it compels them to keep going. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Alex and Amber. 4 stars #2OCCJD

After have been gifted the first story finding home I just had to read finding strength.
I'm new to this author and am really looking forward to the next book.
If you haven't read finding home I recommend that you read that first.
Words for this book are hard to find it will make you laugh and cry but make you smile to.
After being kidnapped by her ex Lacey is finding the strength to escape, while Cory is trying to find her and rescue her.
After coming back home things are strained between the newly couple as Cory believes Lacey needs space while all she wants is to be in his arms. After meeting his family and becoming sick Cory's mother notices something in Lacey and more troubles seem to be heading their way as Lacey finds out that she is pregnant and is not sure who the father is and worries and fears Cory won't want her if her ex turns out to be the father. However Cory's love for Lacey is to strong that he would still raise the child as his own no matter what but he is having to prove he will always be there for her.
However the things are still it smooth sailing in the pregnancy as there is compilations.
Lacey and Cory's story is heartfelt and steamy and will capture your heart In so many ways. I loved reading this book and Reagan has become a favourite to watch out for

This is the second book by Reagan Hollow and the conclusion to Lacey and Cory's Story and this book did not disappoint. Once I started reading this I had a hard time putting it down because I was keep on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen. You can definitely feel thebkove and emotion between these two characters.There are sensitive issues in this book but it was wrote perfectly! This book has romance and suspense.I love how you can feel the characters emotions and feel like you are right there with them. I dont think these two could have had a better ending! I love the secondary characters Alex and Amber and I cant wait for thier story! I highly recommend reading this book!

Readers really need to check this author out!!! Reagan Hollow is a brilliant author whom will keep you enthralled from the first paragraph to the last.

I love these characters. The journey Corey has taken from book 1 to the end of this book has changed him into a better character by far. I can't help but to like him. With everything Lacey has endured from a young age through to part of this book is terrible and sad. I couldn't help but to root for her. I knew from book 1 that Aaron had a screw loose, but you have to read this book to see how truly demented he really is. This book was just excellent. Superbly written with characters that are easy to like. The storyline is well thought out and gives us a fee flowing story.

Reagan Hollow has quickly moved to the top of my fav author's with her books. This book is just as great as the first. I really felt connected with the characters & was pulled completely in with all that was going on. I'm glad things turned out how they did but it really keeps you going trying to figure out what's going to happen next. In some areas you know what's going to happen you just don't know when!
I totally loved it & can't wait for the next one!

I loved this very suspenseful story. It's like Lacey just can't catch a break! But Cory is there for her and they make it through some pretty intense circumstances. They finally get their lives under control just in time for something else to crop up to mess with them. In the end, they get what they want most.

Endurance
There is so much to say however I don't have an idea where to start. This had to be rough to write because at times it was hard to read. I couldn't abandon them though so I kept on. I'm glad I did because wholly moly it was incredible. I'm not going to dissect this or break it down but oh my god amazing incredible out of this world.

This book definitely takes you one an emotional roller coaster ride. Picking up right where book one leaves off. I read both in a matter of hours that's how good it was! I couldn't put them down and now I'll be adding them to my books on my shelves and my read again list! Beyond amazing and if I could give more stars I would gladly do so!

Really good conclusion
This is book two in the Dark Club Novel and is really suspenseful from the start. This story touches on some dark themes so if you have triggers, tread carefully. This was a really good conclusion to the story.

January 28, 2017
This series was a very unexpected surprise! Reagan pulls you in from the very first page and instantly rips your heart out only to slowly and painfully put it back together throughout Lacey and Cory's story.
In Finding Strength we find ourselves exactly where Finding Home leaves off. The change of POV is very welcoming in this book because there are times the characters are apart and it helps build the enormous amount of suspense the author had weaved into this story. The beginning is absolutely action packed and had me sitting on the edge of my seat. I just couldn't get enough of it! When you get to the second half of the book it loses the action feel and transforms into a deeply passionate story of two broken people just trying to find their way. Falling apart and back together only to be hit with more punches and one giant heavenly gift.
Lacey Carter is an insanely strong woman. She constantly gets knocked down but immediately gets right back up. Lacey doesn't let anything deter her from getting exactly what she wants: Cory. I admire Lacey because even in the moments of self doubt she pulls up her big girl panties and deals. I loved that she wasn't the mopey kind of character. If Lacey wanted change she went and changed it. Just don't call her Lace.
Cory. Oh man where to start. He is such a dominate bossy anger filled man with a sweet endearing and really caring side. Haunted by his past he just can't seem to believe he deserves much in life. Even though his demons are of his own doing you cannot help but feel incredibly sorry and want to ease his pain yourself. Cory is what every woman dreams of in a Alpha. *sigh* Well at least he is for me.
There is another character that I fell in absolute love with. Amber. She a tough as nails girl who will go to battle for anyone she deems worthy. Amber seems like a girl who has it all together but the more you see the more you realize she just wants to keep things focused on others and keep her secrets hidden away. I hope like crazy that we get Amber's story with a side of Alex!
By the end of Finding Strength you heart will be fully mended and left felling satisfied. If you love mystery and suspense with a HEA this is definitely the book for you!!! Just make sure you read Finding Home first.

When I seen this one being I had read the proceeding one I jumped in right away. I just had to see what was gonna roll around next. When there is a dark and mental man controlling your future you are pulled to the edge right away. This author is good at holding us captive right away with Cory on our minds right along with Lacey who has us holding our breath. This is finely orchestrated to where it is not too much but just enough of drama until he finds out, then it is on. His mom can be a piece of work too but slapping her would be too good for her. This all makes for some reading that will have you down for a minute. It does a fine picture of strength in here along with how two can draw strength from each other. It just keeps rolling with what life throws these two but more and more pulling from us and when you reach the end the smile will reach from ear to ear.

This was a solid follow up to book 1. Poor Lacey has had such a traumatic life, can't she once catch a break? We left book 1 with Lacey's kidnapping. That being said, if you didn't read book 1, do it now. You won't know all the events leading to this place. This book starts off in a dark and terrible place, but luckily it doesn't stay quite so terrible the entire way through. The suspense remains though. Just when things start to look up, something happens to turn the story around. If you read book 1, you'll definitely want to read this one for the conclusion of the story. There are some loose ends that didn't get tied up, mainly with Amber, so I'm going to assume they'll be resolved when she gets her own story. These are interesting characters, and it was an overall enjoyable read. Once you start the story, it's hard to stop, but it kind of drags a little at the end. The editing and proofreading was sub-par, but it didn't make the story unreadable (unless that really bothers you).
I voluntarily accepted a copy for review. This doesn't change my opinion.

The story picks up right where Finding Home leaves off and Lacey has been abducted by her ex-boyfriend and is just trying to cope with the torture that is being inflicted on her and her love for Corey is the only thing that keeps her going. Corey is distraught and filled with rage and the longer it takes to find her he knows the more that she will have to endure but he could not survive if he lost her. If Lacey is able to find the strength to survive her abduction will she and Corey be able to handle the recovery? The author has been able to combine suspense that keeps you on the edge, emotions that cover everything from extreme happiness to devastation and characters who are well developed and deep. I would recommend that you read Finding Home first so that you can full experience the characters. I love the series and I eagerly await Amber and Alex’s story. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

After reading 'Finding Home' I couldn't wait to get my hands on 'Finding Strength'. Reagan Hollow really out did herself with this instalment to the Club Dark Series. It was a beautifully written, and a very emotional book. Filled with action and suspense, that had me hanging on the edge of my seat till the very last page. I really didn't want this book to end....It was so good!
Lacey has been abducted and held captive. Not knowing where she is or what her captor wants. She knows she must stay strong and fight for her life. Fight to get back to the man she loves...
Corey is going out of his mind with worry. The woman he loves is missing and he will do everything in his power to find her...
Can Corey find her?
Will Lacey survive?
Who took Lacey?
You MUST READ and find out ;)

Cory is amazing. I love how he loved Lacey unconditionally and was supportive during the tough times. Cory is a favourite of mine and I can honestly say he's in my top 3 male leads.
Lacey seems weak, but she isn't. I love how she was written and explored through this story. Her strength and love for those near and dear was breathtaking to read
I loved how this tough story was explored and that it was not a straight up romance but had other elements to it.
I love Reagan Hollow's work and can't wait to see what she does with Alex and Amber's story.

This is the second book by Reagan and also the second book in this series. I must say that I loved this one more! The suspense in this book will keep you on the edge of your seat, and you won't want to put it down. Loved reading about the strength and courage Lacey has. The determination from both; Lacey and Corey. Both of these characters are so strong.
