My Thoughts
After Laney goes through another awful breakup she swears off men feeling like all she has encountered are frogs. That is until she meets Carson in a bar and they agree to a friends with benefits arrangement. Carson too has no desire for a relationship but he absolutely wants Lane. I so loved their witty banter and the sex was over the top hot. Carson really has a way with the naughty talk. When a crazy ex comes knocking at her door one day wanting her back and ready to do anything to make that happen, it brings Carson's demons out to the forefront and it changes everything between them. Lane broke one of the rules, but so did he. I love that Lane fought for him even though he had let her go wanting him to be happy. She was bold and brave and I just loved her. Carson helped her be that way. Now she would be strong for him. I so loved their story.
I give Darker Water 5 hearts!
About the Book
After another painful breakup, Laney Temple finally understands that love is a fairytale and sex rarely comes with a happy ending. She’s too busy for it right now anyway—she has a business to run, art to create, and candy to crush. Eventually she’ll be ready to switch from her plastic-or-silicon lover to a flesh-and-blood one. But before that happens, she needs to be sure she won’t feel any of those annoying emotions that make her heart do things it wasn’t meant to do...
Like break
Carson Bennett is completely upfront about what he wants, and it has nothing to do with Laney’s heart. Her lips? Hell yeah. Other parts of her body? You better f*cking believe it. But her heart? Nope, not even a little. Until it does…a lot. But having feelings for someone isn’t allowed. It’s the kind of thing you’re supposed to push down deep and cover up with one-night stands, sarcasm, and booze...
Like secrets
Two people want the same thing—a commitment to nothing more than great sex in a bunch of different positions. Simple. Enjoyable. A win-win. Problem is, those two people have families and fears and pain that spill into every moment of their lives, control what they do and who they are. And if either Carson or Laney can’t free themselves from the past, they’ll both be pulled under by it.
**DARKER WATER is a standalone contemporary romance (no cliffhanger)**
