EMMY

“One bronze, oval button. One push. One ding, one dong.
And it will all be real.”

I never thought it would be easy. And, yet, nothing could have prepared me for this.
For them.
For him.
The second the black walls of the Matthews House swallow me whole, I know it’s a dangerous game I’m playing. One that threatens to consume me. Taunt me. Cut, burn, and bleed me dry.
Until there’s nothing left to take.

In the end, I will find the dark in a way I never expected.
In the end . . . I will question everything.

ADAM

“Ash and dust. Death and murder. When you have no soul, there’s no fear of losing it. And without fear . . . you’re limitless.”

She’s supposed to be a pawn.
A gift.
Some kind of fucked up way to screw with my head.
Another doll, another day.

But no one, not even my brothers, know the secrets of my past. None of us could know what the girl’s presence here really means.
For them.
For her.
Or what secrets of her own she has buried deep behind those deceptively innocent eyes.

But no secret stays buried forever.
And not even I can pull the strings when we’re dancing in the dark.

Wow!

Dancing in the dark is a deliciously dark romance from author T.L. Martin. It’s suspenseful, gripping, full of twists and turns, and oh so naughty. I was consistently trying to put all the pieces together, and as a result, I had a difficult time putting it down.

In this story, Emmy is looking for her sister Frankie who has been missing for a couple of months. She discovers that Frankie’s trail ends with the Matthews brothers, Adam, Raife, Griff, and Felix. So, she decides to interview to be a secretary for the brothers, hoping to find some information. Although, she does not plan to be completely captivated by Adam.

Adam is the perfect anti-hero, and I understand Emmy’s fascination with him. He is dark, brooding, and totally into Emmy. There are many twists, which had me gripping my kindle tight!

Loved the ending! Dancing in the Dark is a great book!
