Only a few are brave enough to fall . . .

When Raini desperately needed help, she went to the one person who she knew could save her dying friend . . . her secretive and ruthlessly powerful anchor, Maddox. His price was that she grant him access to her life, yet he's still determined not to form the anchor bond with Raini. That rejection stings, even while she can't stop her body - or her demon - reacting to his presence.

Maddox is a descendent, a rare breed of demon possessing angelic blood - and Raini knows he'll let someone close when hell freezes over. As a succubus, she's used to men wanting her uncontrollably - and used to having all the power. But while Maddox wants her strictly on his own terms, for the first time she can remember Raini's struggling to keep her own emotions in check.

Yet when someone - or something - starts to target Raini, Maddox's protectiveness goes into overdrive. Suddenly he's finding it harder to keep his secrets and his distance, for nothing seems to matter as much as Raini. As the threat escalates into all-out war, they both have to decide: can they trust the other to catch them if they fall?

If we've been GR friends or if you've been following my for any decent length of time, you'll probably know that I am basically Suzanne Wright's number one fan ever. I have been reading her since forever and I've read and re-read (over and over again) pretty much everything she's ever written.

My Knox and my Trey Trey have been numero uno and dos in my spank bank for many years now, without much competition...

But Maddox came pretty close here to almost matching my two faves.

Almost.

He can have the silver spank bank medal.

So, thank you Maddox.

I can't wait for all the re-reads will be spending together in the future.

PS I need Viper's book. NOW.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

I need this. I need this NOW.

i'm sorry i'm bored outta my mind 😭 raini and maddox were supposed to be thee hot couple of the dark in you series. she's a succubus, he's a mysterious angeldemon, i was expecting some sizzling bad boy/sexy girl chemistry that i did not receive.

🧷 first, i'm bummed we never saw raini's succubus powers in action. granted, it coulda happened in the last 20% but i ain't sticking around for further disappointment. i wanted her to go full femme fatale at some point, cause i mean keenan is a succubus and he has all these crazy sex powers (esp in bed), but noooo, being a female succubus is a bad thing and raini hates her nature and it comes w all these burdens 🥱🥱🥱 I'M BORED

🧷 second, most SW books follow the same formula, and the thing that chaps my ass about it is that the heroine fucks the commitment-phobic hero and accepts scraps of intimacy from him while wishing for more. if it was just casual sex, then fine. but they're always mad bummed he doesn't want them long term so when they bend over backwards and wait around for him to magically wake up and choose them, it comes across pretty pathetic to me. and it's random AF when he suddenly decides they're mates and he can't live without her blah blah MARRIAGE. i'm just like huh ¿?¿? whEn

🧷 third, i just don't like these characters. i've been intrigued w maddox since meeting him in devon's book, but this book freed me of the delusion. he is not mysterious, he is boring and flat. and raini really didn't have much of a personality either. her demon kept popping into the conversation to tell maddox he can't walk over raini and she's not as spineless as she appears.... again where ¿?¿? whEn ¿?¿? cause from where im sitting she gives in all the time

🧷 fourth, as for the plot, the fact that i'm not even a little bit curious to stick around and find out who's responsible for the boycott or whatever shows how invested i was. tho based off other SW books i've read, i'm 98% sure i already know. i love the worldbuilding in this series but the mysteries and antagonists are losing creativity 😞

it's clear i'm just... over the formula, so i'm prob gonna hop off the suzanne wright train for the foreseeable future unlessss a blurb catches my eye that makes me think she trying something new

I liked this better than the last few books by Suzanne, and I actually read this pretty quickly as opposed to dragging it out for weeks.

That being said, I expected more. More chemistry between Maddox and Raini mostly. The action part of the plot was alright but I feel as if Maddox didn’t live up to his “reputation”. I didn’t think they were explosive together nor that they had some unavoidable connection. Basically, their relationship felt really flat and I didn’t really care for their scenes.

I liked the fact that Raini was more powerful than a lot of people, arguably more powerful than Maddox in a sense but I hate how it was played down.
If the roles were reversed and it was a male character with those powers, everyone would make an observation about it and he would have been in a position of significant influence, but because it’s a female, of course she doesn’t want her power, hides it and downplayed it a lot. That whole spiel about her actually being a whole different person underneath her laidback and average persona, didn’t really satisfy me because it was a lot of tell and no show.

I expected more of this book mostly because we were dealing with a different male MC who is not part of Knox’s entourage (and we knew very little about him<) which opened up a lot of possibilities but in the end Maddox was just boring - in my opinion.

I’m not very excited about Levi’s book and the hint that was left there at the end. His anchor is his ex girlfriend’s sister. Not my thing.

I think I maybe re-read Knox too close to reading this and I couldn't help compering Knox and Maddox. Sadly Maddox was no Knox but as always with SW books I loved it anyway!

And SW confirmed on Insta that Levi's book is next. Then Larkin and Teague and she has plans for the delicious Viper!!

I am a big Suzanne Wright fan and always leap on a new release from 'The Dark in You' series, but whilst I did devour this it didn't pack the punch I was expecting.

The connection between Maddox and Rainie didn't sizzle and spark off the page. There was a level of energy and charm missing from interactions. Chemistry didn't ripple off the page.

I also wanted more action, there was a level of urgency missing from some of the more dangerous moments in the plot.

Maybe it'll be better when I re-read, all I know is right now whilst it was nice enough, my fingers are not twitching to pick it back up and thinking of the book doesn't have me smiling in delight.

Wow... that was so much better than I expected and let me tell you, my expectations were damn high. From the moment Maddox entered the scene I've been curious about the guy, but I never ever expected him to give Knox a run for his money.



Now I've always loved Raini and this book just cemented that hard fact. She is awesome, as are all the girls... but she turned out to be even more kick-ass than I expected.

Now I am not gonna go into the whole plot, because that would be spoilerish and silly and I am anything but silly :P ... That said, fasten your seatbelts and prepare for an epic ride !!



Thankfully we also get some time with all our favorite guys and girls... of course, Khloe made me almost pee my pants... again. I would love to go out and get drunk with these chicks!!!

We also get introduced to some awesome new characters and I found out (with my amazing stalker skills) that Suzanne has some big plans with at least one of them !!!!!!!!



Next up is Levi, and with how this book ended... I can't wait to get my grabby hands on his story so time... please hurry the fuck up!!

This is the first time I felt a new hero could give Knox Thorne a run for his money. Maddox has all those qualities I liked so much in Knox. He's very powerful, very dominant, possessive and he's got that cold personality I love to see, except with Raini. He was controlling in all the good ways.

I've always liked Raini as Harper's sidekick and that didn't change with her being the focus of this book. I really like how she handled Maddox. She didn't let him walk all over her but she also didn't make things harder by constantly pushing back. She was very easy going with his dominant behavior so when she did push back, Maddox understood where she drew the line.

I really enjoyed this couple and could read more of them easily. It looks like the next book will be moving on to Levi though. I'm just as ready for his book.

Fallen is the seventh book in the Dark In You Series. Suzanne Wright has crafted a magical world full of mythical creatures, vampires, demons, and several hot-blooded characters. Raini, a succubus, never understood why her anchor Maddox rejected her, but she is desperate for his help and will do whatever it takes to get it. Maddox is crazy about Raini, but he knows that keeping her close would be dangerous for both of them. And yet, when Raini and Maddox are together, the attraction they feel becomes too strong to ignore.

description
Overall, Fallen is a absolute must read for fans of the Dark in You Series. With strong characters, passion, suspense, action, and romance, every single read will continue to draw you back in and make you desperate for more. I don't think I will ever get enough of this dynamic crew!

First, note that I have not only devoured this book once, but twice since I received it!

Move over Knox, Maddox is going to be standing next to you one my list of favorite over protective/possessive alphas.
”Yea, well, sometimes a girl likes it a little rough,” she sassed.
A rush of cold air swept over her, and his eyes bled to black as the demon took the wheel.
“You want it rough,” it began, “I’ll give you rough.”

SW, whats a girl gotta do to get you to write 3 more books about this couple? I can't move on from these 4 crazy demon chicks.



Yes, I know there will be another book in the series, Levi I presume, but there won't be any more drunken nights with these ladies........Unless Levi's future mate becomes a close bestie!

Anyway, this story was so much more than I was expecting. Maddox and Raini are fucking incredible together. Their chemistry was off the charts. Their powers are amazing, seriously we all had to know that Raini was hiding some crazy abilities behind her cute submissive tones. But what she was hiding, I didn't see that coming!
"Someone can be lethal and still be a relatively nice person. People just tend to assume that the most dangerous beings wear that danger on the outside."

This was the perfect addition to what is already an amazing series. I have to say, I'm not sure anyone can top Khloe's crazy ass for me, but Raini is right there close to her.

I won't spoil, but seriously the epilogue made me smile and want to shed a tear of joy. Just you wait guys. It will make you so happy!

If you haven't started this series you are missing out so much! No one write PNR like Suzanne Wright!

Fallen is book 7 in the Dark in You series and it's Raini and Maddox's story. I have been impatiently waiting for this book to be released since the events of Omens had Raini going to Maddox for help. I had a feeling they would be great together and they were. Maddox and his Demon reminded me so much of Knox without being a carbon copy. Maddox and Raini's beginning isn't the most pleasant since Maddox has no plans of bonding with his Anchor because he has a secret he can't share. What I loved is that when that secret is revealed he is all in with no plans of letting her go ever. As usually the connection between the girls always brings a smile to my face and now I must wait again for Levi's book.

I stayed awake the entire night to finish this book, and now I'm feeling like a fucking zombie.

Also, I've two tests today and haven't studied anything. This isn't going to be a proper review, because I just can't function right now. I desperately need some shut-eye.

Anyways, I fucking loved this book. Raini and Maddox were everything I hoped for and more. I loved them. I loved their chemistry, their banter, and all other things. Raini's dad was absolutely kickass, I loved his *ahem* tendency to burn down buildings and randomly pointing knives at people (and by people I mean Maddox) during normal conversations. Also, I loved the glimpses we got of baby Asher. He is cuteness overload 👶👶.

❝You’re rain and lightning and thunder. A storm. Electric and intense with a will of your own. But you’re not one of those people who wears their inner strength
Loudly and boldly, daring the world to come at them. You’re content to be a quiet force of nature, but you’re still very much a force.❞


Congratulations Suzanne Wright, Fallen was amazing! I can't get enough of Maddox and Raini. (I read it 3 times😂) I really love🥰 the flow of the story. It was able to capture my attention right away and keep it throughout the entire story. It never dragged, I never lost interest. I also love the introduction of some new characters, especially Viper🔥.
(I really hope that the Black Saints will get their own series😍)

I love Knox, I really do, he is still my favorite but Maddox has now a special place in my heart. He is powerful, dominant and cold. I love how he comes off as callous to others.
I also hope for more Maddox and Knox interactions😁.

As for Raini, I love how mysterious she is about her powers. I just wish I get to see more.
And that's another thing I love about Suzanne Wright's books, her females are strong. They have their own strength but do not come across as stubborn when it comes to their men. They have their own mind and the relationship between the H and h are not complicated.

Anyways, this is a must READ!👌🏻👍🏻 Another favorite and was so worth the wait 😊
And now I'm looking forward to Levi's story 🤗

It actually started pretty solid. All the established characters and the initial setting were quite exciting. Then slowly as the plot unravelled, the more boring and uninteresting it got. By the halfway mark, I was begging for this book to end.

You know what else bothered me about this book. It's how freaking interesting the whole setting about the Fallen and their habit.

But no. We need to have more attention to the imps show (which we already had for almost the whole series!).

I liked this but didn’t love it. It was an audible sale bargain and in my one-click haste I overlooked the fact that it’s book whatever in a series of a gazillion. I was therefore blissfully unaware of the differences between an anchor, a prime and a mate and all of the various weapons each type of being has. I found it a bit bewildering to be perfectly honest. Lots nasty graphic details of grisly battle scenes too that were not really my taste. Liked the underlying demon thing they had going on though. Not really my thing.

I was more than happy to delve in this amazing, bloody, cunning demon world.
Absolutely loved this book. Raini and Maddox were one powerful couple. Not going to dissect this book other than saying, you have to read the whole series!

I loved that so many of my fav couples showed their faces in the story. The girls are such an awesome bunch. I love love their friendship. A new MC of fallen was introduced and I can’t wait for their book. Especially the powerful fallen archangel Viper.

The action sequences were done really well. And the one character other than kloe who cracked me up was Raini’s father… god that man is the male version of Kloe! I adore these mischief making imps.
Disappointingly larkin didn’t make an appearance in this book but I’m excited for levi’s book next.

Completely safe and 💯 percent recommended.

Sweet baby Jesus… You know how OBSESSED I am with this series ( all time fav PNR), and how Knox is my all time fav PNR book boyfriend?! We’ll I’ll be damned! Maddox left me speechless! That’s right, he is now up THERE, side by side with the Alpha powerhouse that Knox is, because is alllllllll that! Dear lord, look at these chills just thinking about it…. * fans herself*
I can’t rave enough about this Dark In You series, but Ms. Wright truly outdid herself with Maddox and Raini’s story.
I’m truly obsessed and hooked by every word of this deliciously addictive adventure. The epitome of Paranormal Romance, I tell you!

“This, what we have, is more. And you know it. I have no intention of losing it; of losing you.”

I obviously enjoyed it, had a few laughs but I cannot stop myself from finding the parallels between Raini and Harper's story because essentially the plot remained same. We have great chemistry, cheeky humor, family issues, people meddling in others lives, unnecessary drama, the i- can't- be- with- him- but- it's- so- fun trope and it works for me cuz I know Suzanne's brand of writing. Is it different thematically speaking with the rest of the series? No. Is it fun and comforting to read? Yes.

Solely for my enjoyment purpose this book is a solid 4.

-------

Had to wait for three years for this book, better be worth. Knowing my luck with urban fantasy, I'm crossing my fingers.

5+ stars!

I will read anything this woman writes...every story of hers is gold and she writes the perfect alpha male and the perfect feisty female. Fallen was no exception and I loved every second of Maddox and Raini.

If you've read the rest of the books in this series, you know Raini is part of the badass group of Harper, Devon and Khloe. She is a succubus and from the outside seems like a quieter and less powerful demon. Jokes on everyone though because Raini is not as she appears...

"Someone can be lethal and still be a relatively nice person. People just tend to assume that the most dangerous beings wear that danger on the outside."

Raini, in order to save Khloe in the previous book, makes a deal with her anchor Maddox...he will save Khloe but he has some conditions. Those conditions put Raini and Maddox together and in close proximity and the chips start falling where they should (wink wink).

Maddox is a powerful demon called a descendant with angel heritage/blood. Their line of demons are secretive and have a lot to lose if their secrets get out so they keep to themselves and Maddox refuses to bond with Raini as his anchor for that reason. However, he wants all the benefits of an anchor bond without the bond.

But fate and their inner demons know what's at stake and there are enemies after Maddox and Raini. Will they form the bond? Will Maddox be able to keep Raini safe and find out who their ultimate enemy is? Can Raini accept Maddox and his lair? Will they both get what they've always wanted?

Maddox was up there with Knox for me and I couldn't get enough of him and his demon. They were so possessive and the dirty talk...o my. Raini was such an awesome heroine and I loved that she used that people consistently underestimated her to her advantage. The two of them were hot AF and the story was action packed and entertaining. I loved that we got to see the gang from previous books and I can't wait for Levi's story!!! Perhaps we will get a Viper story one day....

I love this series in fact I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve re-read the first 3 books in particular.

This was no exception I loved both Maddox and Raini (aka Waini) and don’t get me started on how adorable Asher is.

This book ticked all the boxes my only issue was despite loving both main characters I didn’t really feel any chemistry between them. But the rest was good.

Now I’m just waiting for the next one…..

Ugh, unfortunately this was a let down. Giving it 3 stars because I enjoyed the first half more than the second but omg by the end I was truly bored and so ready for this to be over which is sad because I've been looking forward to Raini and Maddox's story ever since we met him in book 5 and found out he's her anchor, but this didn't live up to my expectations.

Maddox is part of a mysterious species of demons called 'Descendants' that are a mix of fallen angels and demons. Maddox is even more special because his angel half comes from an archangel. Descendants are very insular, their lairs don't allow outsiders and little is known about them. So I was super pumped to learn more about the mysterious demons, and the powerful, slightly shady Maddox. I say shady because he's known for brokering deals that range from just information to kidnapping. The dude is not supposed to be a nice guy, he might even be a little evil. So that was my first let down because we saw none of that. He's known for brokering deals but not once did we see anything about this, not once did Raini express any apprehension about this, not once did he do anything shady at all lol. It was like being told this was an MC book and the president doesn't even own a motorcycle. Like where was this giant part of Maddox's life?

The descendants in general were very much background characters and the lair felt small and uninteresting.
*Slight spoilers* Their big secret was eventually revealed to Raini and it was a bit anticlimactic because she didn't really care and then the whole lair was pretty quick to accept her when I thought it would be more of a big deal.
*slight spoilers over*
None of Maddox's sentinels or any side characters really grabbed me and I guess that's because they're mostly paired off so SW probably isn't planning a spin-off for this lair. Idk I just think the descendants could've been more interesting.

Next, Raini is a succubus. How fun! I love stories about incubi and succubi and like what better character for a smutty paranormal romance book? But no. All that's talked about is Raini's other mysterious power. It's mentioned that she 'snares' men but it's not really shown, all her powers in that regard are viewed very negatively and she hates that side of herself. Which, fair. But I wish there had been some fun succubus powers or spicy bedroom things, ya know? 😏 so that was a bit of a let down. She did use her succubi powers at the very end but only super briefly and not in a sexy way lol.

I feel like the big plot mystery about who was fucking with Raini was pretty obvious and that a lot of stupid assumptions were being made and not enough action taken. Surprisingly Raini didn't follow the TSTL heroine formula where even when she's in extreme mortal danger she needs to live life normally and refuses to take precautionary measures so that was a bit refreshing. Obviously, that still didn't work because again stupid assumptions were made and the bad guys always need to get their monologues lol.

I didn't love the world building in this book. I do love the demon world that's been crafted in the Dark In You series, but I feel like adding the angel element was a bit sloppily done and came out of nowhere. They were never really mentioned before now I guess because they don't normally interfere with demons at all? 🧐 Not totally sure, but the angel aspect didn't feel as well developed. Now we've been introduced to 'Viper' a fallen archangel and his fallen angels motorcycle club...🤨 Yeah not sure about that one...but it's pretty obvious there will be a spin-off series about them so maybe the whole angel thing will get elaborated on and better explained then.

So yeah I don't know, I didn't hate this book because I have a lot of love for this series and we did see a lot of the previous characters, but it could've been a lot better. I wanted more from Raini and Maddox as characters and also from their romantic progression which was predictable and not all that passionate. Sigh. Really wanted to love this one, but oh well.

Not a bad addition to the series... I was looking forward to this book ever since finishing the last. I expected to really like it, and it mostly didn't disappoint. I did feel like the progress of the storyline was a little less exciting than previous books. I think I also find some of the details about the book world to be repetitive after reading the same things in the previous 6 books. This book really isn't a standalone, but I feel like SW tries half-heartedly to make it one. To clarify, we get tons of interaction with previous book characters, but also too many details that every series reader would know. I guess some people may find the reminders useful, but they just irritate me.

So this story, like all the rest, has a lot going on. The hero and heroine are anchors but he doesn't want to bond because of secrets. She's pissed at him and tries to push him out of her life completely, but he manipulates her into allowing some contact for safety. They begin to spend more and more time together as she suddenly finds herself the target of multiple attacks on both her person and her position at work. He freaks and does what every other SW hero does...he gets overprotective and forces his protection and presence on her. They start having sex because, why not? And then it's essentially all sex scenes and battle scenes until the end. I know I make it sound terrible, but it's really not.

Here's what I'll say about Ms. Wright's writing that I can really get behind: she's a bloodthirsty bitch, and I love it. She always has the bad guys get tortured for days. She doesn't give them an easy ending or a quick exit. I FUCKING HATE WHEN AUTHORS DO THAT! I want the evil-doers to get their comeuppance! I know, I probably need therapy, but I don't care!

On the other hand, there's always too much OM/OW drama. This book has some of both, but neither rates badly on my radar. The hero and heroine were not with these other people sexually in the past, so I didn't mind their presence. It's as simple as that for me! I hate when exes or random hookups hang around. How many times did OW tell Harper in previous books about how great sex was with Knox? Ewwwww!

So basically, this book was pretty damn good, I enjoyed it. I am a little disturbed by the hint given for the next book. JFC, I hope I'm wrong and it doesn't get written. There was some info about one of Knox's sentinels realizing that his anchor is his ex's sister. IF HE ENDS UP FUCKING THE SISTER?!?!?! PLEASE SUZANNE WRIGHT, DON'T DO IT.

Safety is good; no others during the book ofc, but also no exes popping up. A OW tries to hit on H a few times but he isn't interested. OM obsessed with h and causes some drama with her sister but it's not really a safety issue imo. No separations once they get together.

Can't get enough of this series,but some books are better and some simply don't have that factor that grips you tight. In this particular instalment I felt a bit disappointed. The same formula is followed,which is ok ,if it works why change it. I liked the story and I liked the characters individually but the connection between Rainy and Maddox was lost on me. No spark, no butterflies,no anticipation,just bland.
But as I said prior, individually,they were awesome. Rainy can easily hold her own and Maddox is there with Knox (maybe..) . I liked the new cast of characters introduced, the fallen, and I m looking forward to Vipers book.

So so good to read new changes in the others couples lives❤❤❤

I honestly liked Maddox way more than I was expecting to. He was definitely an alpha male but he was decidedly reasonable. His actions made sense. Both he and Raini were sensible in terms of their trust and honesty with each other.

*Full review to come*

Unrelated: That cover model is definitely not how I imagine Raini lol

Aye, at last a male protagonist that comes close to Knox. Not the biggest fan of either Tanner or Keenan.

THIS SERIES IS ONE OF MY FAVE TOP 5 PARANORMAL BOOK EVER😍😍😍😍 It made me so addicted and read it over and over again just to see each of the love story and cute asher!!!!! 🥺🥺

AND YES ASHER MADE HIS CUTE SCENE IN HERE! *books with children in it is my fave part*😙😙


‼️‼️‼️NO VIRGINS.

But both are clean and always use protection in the past. They both go bare for the first time with each other which is so cute🥺🥺🥺 the hero never ever mention past partners to the heroine or even think about it and never bring the heroine to a place that he brings his past partners. She’s actually the first woman he brings to his home and bed🥺🥺


‼️‼️‼️NO SEPARATION AND NO CHEATING

‼️‼️‼️DRAMA WITH OW AND OM but not too annoying. Those ow and om never have a relationship with the hero and heroine, not even a hookup. The ow and om liked them but they’re not interested.

‼️‼️‼️THEIR CONNECTION TO EACH OTHER IS SO ROMANTIC AND HOT lol😏😏😏😏😋😋😋

‼️‼️‼️NOT LOVE IN FIRST SIGHT. More like a electricity and times goes by they are so in love with each other and wanting so badly especially the hero wants the heroine so badly…

‼️‼️‼️NOT MANY JEALOUS SCENES FROM BOTH

‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS POSSESSIVE PROTECTIVE ALPHA MALE FOR SURE. Even when the heroine is powerful, the hero even said to his friends that he doesn’t want to use the heroine as a weapon. Hot!


‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE IS SASSY AND POWERFUL THAN OTHERS THINK. SHE IS HUMBLE AND OUTGOING… and mysterious 😏😏😏😏 i like when the hero told the heroine about his secret (secret about his true form and history) the heroine just okay with it and not making it a big problem. The hero was even shocked to see the heroine’s reaction because the heroine didn’t make it a problem like he thought she would. I like a heroine who is not dramatic! 😏


‼️‼️‼️VERY HOT SMUT SCENES for sure😋😋😋

‼️‼️‼️Idk if the hero or the heroine hookup with others when they both already know they are anchors, both didn’t say tho but i do know that the heroine went with a date with someone else in OMEN BOOKS (khloe keenan story) but only eating at the restaurant, idk about more tho because khloe went her separate ways after that with raini with their date. BUT I WILL THINK THEY ARE LOYAL THO😁😁😁

‼️‼️‼️IT HAS PUSHING AWAY MOSTLY FROM THE HEROINE BUT NEVER TOO MUCH OR TOO ANNOYING… especially when the heroine made a promise to the hero that she will start meeting the hero frequently because before, the heroine always say no the hero if they have to meet or the hero want to meet the heroine. But after things growing between them, I’m glad the hero made his first move to the heroine and they finally Seal the deal. No more pushing away after they officially together…

‼️‼️‼️more drama about their enemies tho which is great because the actions is like watching a movie! So thrilling and powerful…

‼️‼️‼️I LIKE THAT THE HEROINE AND HERO IS ANCHORS AND MATE AND THE HEROINE WEAR THE BLACK DIAMOND 🥺🥺🥺🥺

‼️‼️‼️HAPPY ENDING. Married and someone who see their future tells them that they’ll be parents with 3 kids! Sooo cute🥺🥺🥺🥺 hopefully the kids will have their own books too tho🙏🙏🙏🙏



If you don’t know the story and you will begin, begin with the dark with you part 1. BUT TO BE HONEST THE PART 1 is too much unnecessary drama in my opinion and every part of that series from 1 till 4 book have other woman involved with the hero which is so fcking annoying. SO THATS WHY PLEASE AUTHOR, DON’T ALWAYS INCLUDE OTHER WOMAN IN THE STORY ESPECIALLY TOO MANY OF THEM BECAUSE THATS JUST PURE ANNOYANCE AND MAKING MY EYES ROLLING TO THE CORE. Thats why I’m glad on this book right here dark series part 7, the other woman drama is not even annoying like the 1 book! Like i know everybody have a past but if you put too many of the past, it became annoying obviously. And the heroine only get 1 drama with other man when the hero gets drama with other woman in so many times! Thats not fair🤣🤣 so please author… when you make the future books with their children involved, do not have so many drama with OW. Make it fair and good with the actions! The drama with OW is so unnecessary…. And please write faster😔😔 i need your book so fast lol

Boring. Literally this took me longer than it should have to finish and it’s only 300 pages.
I started to skim the unnecessary parts that added nothing of value to the storyline. I mean I really don’t know what the storyline was because nothing really happened and Raini and Maddox had zero chemistry. Quite disappointed in that since the build up in the previous books left me interested.
