Title: Dark Corners 
Series: True Heroes #3
Author: A. M. Madden 
Release Date: November 8th, 2016


Synopsis:


Meet Private First Class David Cavello.



Love is war when shadows play games with the heart. In this thrilling romance from the USA Today bestselling author of Stone Walls and Glass Ceilings, a decorated veteran facing the darkest battlefield finds a guiding light to trust and tenderness.



David Cavello is no longer in uniform, but the memories of combat still haunt his every waking moment. Driven to protect and serve, he accepts an undercover job he has to keep hidden from everyone. But David’s mission goes against orders the second he makes contact with gorgeous and spirited Maygen Whitney. The intense attraction he feels for Maygen drives him crazy—almost as crazy as he feels about hiding information from her.


After growing up with an overprotective father, Maygen feels like she’s finally claiming her independence. Sure, she’s been lonely, but David seems to make all her dreams come deliciously true—until the sting of betrayal sends her world spiraling. Now Maygen’s caught in a tragic web of lies, leaving her more vulnerable than ever to an enemy hidden in the shadows. But when Maygen most needs a hero, David leaps into action—intent on doing whatever it takes to save the woman he loves.

My Review:
Aaand... she did it again.

I've read and loved every single A.M. Madden book. And those of you who follow my reviews know that my all time BBF is Trey. Well, at least he was until I read this latest page turner. Now he can proudly share the first place with David Cavello. His incredible and heartbreaking story is told in Dark Corners. The book is intriguing and entertaining, heartbreaking and romantic, suspenseful and funny. There is something for everyone in it.

David is the type of guy that every woman dreams of. He is gentleman when he is in public. But the moment there are no eyes on him or he is in the privacy of his home, he becomes god in the bedroom and anywhere else you would like him to be ;) But he is also haunted by demons that make it impossible for him to get close to anyone. Even his own family. But that all changes once he meets Maygen. She is a ray of light in his darkness and probably the only person who can bring a smile to his face without even trying. 

And that's when all the danger and drama come into play. But if you think that is is just going to be another suspenseful romance, you would be dead wrong. The are such twists in this story that your head will be spinning for hour after that :D

So, if I have to summarise, this is an amazing book. Both, Maygen and David, are characters carrying their own demons and fears but at the same time their perfect for each other. but that doesn't make their path to HEA an easy one. It is actually a dangerous and heartbreaking journey that will grab you from the very start and immerse you in their story. So get ready and pick up a copy of this page turner the first chance you get ;)

About the Author:
Jill Patten was born a Yankee, but raised a southerner. She lives in the small town of Mayberry, North Carolina which was made famous by a popular TV show back in the sixties. (Maybe there will one day be a statue of her at the end of Main Street. Ha! A girl can dream, right?)

Jill has always loved to read, even during reading labs in middle school for reading comprehension. Judy Blume was her first author she hero-worshipped, maturing to revere the works of Stephen King. With all the fantastic authors today, she simply cannot choose a favorite. Her taste is very eclectic and she loves almost all genres. When she's not captivated by her fictional characters, she spends time with her sweet husband and two beautiful children.

Music is her muse. Jill also loves elephants, sarcasm, and anything made with sugar, especially sweet tea. She enjoys all things rude and crude and laughs at stuff she probably shouldn't. She has been accused of being bossy a time or two, but doesn't really see it herself.

All in all, Jill is just a small town girl in this great big world trying to enable your book addiction.

Oh, and if you read her book, please leave her a review - good or bad, she'll love you forever.

My Review:

Jill Patten is a new author to me, so I wasn't really sure what to expect from the book. But I was intrigued by the synopsis so I decided to read it. To be honest, I am not really sure how to review the book. On one hand I quite liked the idea of the story and Blue is definitely an intriguing character. But on the other hand, I had some issues with Phoebe. Somehow, I just couldn't relate to her and at times I was really frustrated with her behaviour.

The story as a whole is quite interesting. I really enjoyed getting to know Blue and seeing his transformation and growth thanks to his feelings for Phoebe. I loved his playful side and even more his alpha side. He is a little bit of a hot head and he doesn't always make the best decissions but he definitely has his redeeming qualities, especially in the bedroom :D 

As I mentioned above, I wasn't really into Phoebe. I think she was a little bit too drama prone for my liking and some of her decisions were simply not something I would do. I know she is living through something very difficult but I still think that at times she is just too self centered. The other thing that wasn't exactly to my liking is the pace of the story. A little bit to slow for me but it was still quite well written.

So, even though, this wasn't exactly the best book I've read lately. It is still a good read so you should give it a chance. If nothing else, I can guarantee you are going to fall for Blue :)

My Review:

Terri E Laine is a relatively new author to me and I quite enjoy her style of writing. She is one of my go to authors when I need something somewhat lighthearted and with a happy ending :) OK, so probably lighthearted is not the correct word but my usual reads are romantic suspense, thrillers, etc. so for me, this type of read is definitely lighter :) And Catching Fireflies didn't disappoint. There is heartbreak and romance, and everything else necessary to make this story an intriguing and relaxing read. The characters are very interesting and complex, and they are so easy to relate to. I am sure they will have you rooting for them from the start.

Chance is an intriguing character. Hi past is heartbreaking and left him scarred and in a way unable to trust women with his heart. But that changes when his eyes clash with Brie's. Even though he makes mistakes, he finally realises that she is the one woman he can trust his heart to and not be scared she is going to break it. Unfortunately, due to his errors and in a way fear, he has to fight for her trust and heart and overcome the protective walls around her. I have to say that I really loved seeing Chance's innovative and romantic side. The things he did for Brie were something that will melt your heart and make every red bloodied woman to fall for him :)

Unfortunately, even when Brie and Chance find their way to each other again, there are still obstacles the have to overcome. From jealous exes to more heartbreak and stumbling into surprises that bring pain, remorse, sorrow but also a little it of hope and happiness, Chance and Brie's path is not easy but with supporting each other, they find their place in the world :)

So, if you are looking for a nice and romantic story, you should definitely check Catching Fireflies. The book is a standalone, and even though some of the characters from the previous book have appearances, this one can be read and enjoyed also on its own :) If you've read Terri E. Laine before, you all know how captivating her writing style is.And if she is a new author to you, then you shouldn't waste any more time and get introduced to her books ASAP :)
