Recommendation
I’ve lost myself in hundreds of books, but I’ve found myself in precious few.
After Dark is one of those books.
To me, what takes you from a good story to a great story, is the readers ability to personally connect with it. Connect some part of themselves to it. Recognize that thing that lives inside them that says “God. YES. That’s it. I feel it too.” That thing you want to hold and hide all at once. After Dark is like reading that inner most part of you that you aren’t even completely honest with yourself about.
A vulnerability so brutal and honest and true, you feel sort of relieved that someone managed to get it down on paper.
I smiled and I laughed and I giggled girlishly.
I burned and I raged and I bristled.
I blushed and I squirmed and I ached.
I broke and I cried and I hurt.
I felt.
Perfection.
More than a romance, and beyond a love affair, After Dark is a story of devotion.
Masterfully written, intensely emotional, and achingly erotic. M. Pierce finishes the trilogy with my favorite book in the series. [March 2015]
Publisher synopsis
In the final novel of the Night Owl Trilogy from bestselling author M. Pierce, can a passion that has withstood many ordeals become a love strong enough to last a lifetime?
Matt Sky is trying to return to normal, having faked his death and come back to life. He and Hannah move back in together, and Matt attempts to put his demons to rest as they strive to grow their relationship into something durable and honest. But as the two become more and more entangled, and the heat between them intensifies in all the best possible ways, Matt’s desire for Hannah ignites cravings he has kept at bay for a long, long time…
Hannah finally has the life she's always wanted: she's pursuing her career as a literary agent at Granite Wing Agency, she is writing her first novel, and she is living with her hot, passionate lover. But as Matt and Hannah explore a new intimacy, Hannah finds that there are parts of Matt—dark, wild, uncontrollable parts—that he has yet to show her…that he has yet to show anyone…Under the surface of Matt and Hannah’s domestic bliss, deeply buried secrets burn, and all of a sudden, the least foreseen obstacle threatens to shatter everything they’ve worked so hard for.
