Hannah Garrett welcomes the dark. Though she’s on the run from a man who’d rather see her dead, Hannah lives freer in the dark. Hannah doesn’t trust many people and gets closer to even less, but when she meets Ward Coleman, close is the only thing on her mind while keeping her secrets safe.

Hannah finds Ward to be more bothersome than any man she’s ever encountered before. In the midst of a heat-wave, Ward sends her senses and her body into an inferno of heat with his sexiness, his seductive eyes and even hotter body. But she can’t get close to him. Hannah can’t afford to let her body, or her heart lead her, when her life is in danger. But Hannah soon learns that Ward doesn’t take no for an answer and relentlessly pursues her until she’s ready to bare everything to him.

Heat, sweat and secrets unravel as Ward and Hannah share the darkness…

Ms. Monroe pens a hot and seductive story that threatens to catch on fire within a reader’s hands. Hannah and Ward are sexy-as-hell together. They strike sparks off one another within the first few pages and do wicked things with ice cubes that create even more heat.

The story surrounding Hannah, the danger stalking her and the reasons she prefers the darkness, draw the reader in even further. Ms. Monroe knows how to hook her reader, creating a great story with vivid scenes, seductive dialogue to match sexy and enriching characters.  These characters, and secondary ones, as well as the story are led flawlessly by Ms. Monroe’s masterful pen. I certainly hope she has more of the same in store for her readers. Share the Darkness should be shared and read over and over again.
