When He’s Dark

This was...kind of perfect. Such a refreshing change from Suzanne Wright's Dark in You and Deep in Your Veins series. There wasn't really an insta-love (insta-possessive?) thing here like there are in many of Wright's other books (cough, Jared...cough, Knox); Bree and Alex had known each other since Bree wasn't legal. And even after Alex started becoming sexually attracted to Bree (and she became legal...), Alex doesn't feel the need to act on that until much later. Additionally, Alex wasn't some CEO, next high prince, or an official uber-scary and prestigious(? for lack of a better word) enforcer. He was just a guy with animal magnetism (see what I did there?) who's got a wolverine sharing headspace with him. I also particularly liked the juice from Bree's plan to move to greener pastures without telling anyone except her best friend and her Prime. That deliciousness will stay with me for days. And I simply adore how many domestic and silly moments there were here that don't really appear in Wright's other stories that I also love. Usually it's all about, “Who's trying to kill me? There's like 10 possibilities,” and, “We need to have sex now because the tension is ripping the reader into shreds.” That's in this story, too (and might I say, I thought they were done especially well here), but I love me some loving downtimes.

Well, I'd totally hold in my farts for you.

Love of the highest order with a healthy dash of realism to give it that extra oomph. 10/10
