Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

4 badass, “Jake Fucking Dunn”<\/i> stars<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a companion novel to The Dark Light of Day<\/a>. Told mainly from Jake\u2019s POV, it gives us a little more detail of the events that took place in the epilogue of the first book as Jake seeks retribution against the man that hurt his family.<\/p>\n

\u201cA revenge kill is the best kind of kill.
\nBut a revenge kill for your family, with your woman’s permission?
\nThat’s borderline erotic.\u201d<\/i>
\n– Jake, The Dark Light of Day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The story then moves on to a year later, thrusting Jake and Abby into more drama that they need to deal with, as well as continuing their healing from events in the past. It\u2019s raw and dirty, but it\u2019s also beautifully romantic and really freaking hot as we get to see them dealing with it all.<\/p>\n

She didn’t show me that I was capable of love. She was the one who made me capable of love.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I was really satisfied with how The Dark Light of Day<\/i> ended, and I wouldn\u2019t say this is a necessary read, but I loved the opportunity to see more of Jake as a family man. He is still one scary dude, but he is so in love with his family, and his tenderness and protectiveness is gorgeous.<\/p>\n

Our love had no rules.
\n\u2026 There was a reason I was put on the planet exactly how I was, how I am.
\nTo protect my family.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a very quick read, and you\u2019ll need to have read The Dark Light of Day<\/i> for it to make any sense (I actually reread the last couple of chapters to refresh my memory of everything that went down). T.M. Frazier very quickly recaptures the mood of the first book, this novella is dark and gritty, and on the complete wrong side of the law, but if you were already a fan and want just a little bit more of Jake and Abby, then you\u2019ll probably love it. And as a bonus, there is a brief introduction to Frazier\u2019s next book, King<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4 stars.<\/p>\n
