Synopsis
Dane has only ever loved one woman in his whole life. Nova. When he lost her everything went dark, his mind, his soul, and his life. She was his light, his heart. A decade later fate plays a cruel joke bringing them back together, only to tear them apart again, when he realises she has no idea who he is. Now he has to battle, wage war, and bring grown men to their knees to get her back. The biggest fight he faces is turning away from the darkness and letting the light in.
All Libby Burchall remembers is a mediocre life, she’s just existed for over a decade. Scared of her history and confused about who she is, the safe path is the only one she’s travelled. When a face that she can’t remember breezes in from the past, calling her Nova and looking at her like she’s a ghost, it sets off a chain reaction of emotions that she can’t ever remember feeling before. Now she can’t stop seeing his eyes, hearing his voice, and being consumed by the dark, intense and insanely beautiful man that made her feel alive.
Two shattered halves of one soul. He wants her light to illuminate the never-ending darkness. She wants to run, but something keeps dragging her back.
Can they survive each other?

Excerpt
“Oh God, yes!”
I look down at the woman between my thighs and grimace. I just wanted a fuck. A release. Not her voice splitting my skull. She thinks it’s sexy. It’s not. While I bang into her over and over again I should be building up to the few seconds of pure bliss I need right now. Not thinking about how I should have gagged her.
Leaning forward over her, I slip my hand around her throat, watching as her slender neck disappears under my palm, positioning my thumb and forefinger on each side of her jaw, holding her in place. She automatically tilts her head back slightly and opens her mouth, but this time without sound. This is turning her on, which works for me because I wasn’t about to stop. I can feel her pulse through my hand and so squeeze my fingers, tightening on each thrust in. Her eyes widen and flick to the corner of my mouth then back to my eyes. I know what she sees. It’s what they all see…the only thing I allow.
Emptiness, darkness and cruelty.
They need to know. It’s who I am.
It’s who I’ll always be.
I finish up. Pulling myself out of her and out of the bed, her eyes snap open and she stares at me.
“What are you doing?” she whines.
I look over at her while pulling my jeans on. “Going home.”
“Well, you could stay?” she asks, with a smile. “We could do that again.” Her smile turns into a smirk
“No thanks,” I reply. Mentally going over the list of things I had on me and making sure I’ve got them all before leaving.
You never come back.
Never.
Rule One—If you leave your phone, wallet, house keys, etcetera, you get new ones. New phone, new wallet—Fuck! You get a new house if you have to. But you never come back. Period.
She frowns at me, I can see her brain working. “Okay, do you want to meet up later this week?” She’s grasping at straws and is sounding desperate.
“Not gonna happen. This was tonight. Just tonight. I told you when we were at the bar. This was a one-time deal. I fuck you. I leave.” My mouth twitches. “I’ve fucked you. Now I’m leaving.”
She scowls as my eyes land on my jacket.
“You complete wanker!” she shouts.
“Not sure what you expected?” I reply grabbing my jacket and heading to the bedroom door.
“Well thanks for fucking me!” she clips angrily as I walk away.
I salute her. “Pleasure babe.” Then walk out of her bedroom and her life, and I go back to feeling the cold. In more ways than one.

My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
“I would be
worried about choking on my tongue if it weren’t for the fact that it’s currently
hanging out of my mouth.”
“But I want to
be clear, you have my past, completely.
I want you to have my future, I will everything I am down for you,”
“For the first
time in my life, I feel something, and that makes me want to sink to my knees
and thank some higher being. I don’t
want to lose it.”
“Are you
freaking kidding me? You give me another chance? I wouldn’t
get back together with you if you were smothered in ice-cream and had a
chocolate cock. And trust me that’s the
only way I’d even be tempted.”
“I’ll love
these people forever and I know they’ll love me. We have a fierceness that cannot be broken.”
My Review:
This is one of
those rare series in which each subsequent book was even better than the ones
before, which made the third and final book utterly fantastic. Ms.
MacDonald has honed her skills and delivered a dynamic, well-paced, expertly
crafted, sensual, and highly entertaining story. Each scene was richly detailed and thoroughly
described, and played like a movie reel in my head. I adored her characters and wish I had such a
loving and unconditionally supportive group of friends and extended family to
spend time with. The writing was
absorbing and intriguing with welcome and clever hits of humor and steam. I had forgotten what a naughty little minx
Ms. MacDonald could be as her sensual scenes sizzled and had me gasping. I have
a new BBF named Dane.
