Book Review: Dark Encounter by Nicole York

Secrets Of The Night Book 2

Some desires are better left untapped…

I didn’t choose the life I’m living, and yet, I own it.

My relief from the violence and blood is through fiction novels.

No one knows and never will. It’s not appropriate, nor would it ever be accepted.

As the son of the most violent mob boss in all of New York, I play the part well.

And love is the last thing on my mind. I’d lose it the minute I got it anyway.

So what’s the point?

But then Grace appears.

A sweet, innocent, virginal librarian with a bend toward romance books, or that’s what I see her holding in her pale fingers all the time.

She’s far more than meets the eye, and from what I can tell, she’s not looking for love either.

Just a dark encounter with a dangerous stranger in a quiet corner of the library.

Good. I’m the right man for the job.

My Review:

It's raw, brutal, and beautiful. After Dark Obsession, I've been anxiously waiting for Grace and Erik's story. I knew it would be good, but I wasn't prepared for how completely blown away I am. The overwhelming emotions and impossible situations that are piled into this book left me speechless. The relationship between Grace and Erik is compelling. He gives her the courage to be truly herself and she inspires him to want to be a better man. I cannot wait to see what the team behind Nicole York brings us next. If it's even half the book this one was, it'll be brilliant. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
