Darkness by any other name is Mhairi Darkness, whose name is Mhairi. I still am trying to wrap my head around what Allison ever saw in someone so vile. A person who coveted power and money so much so that she chose to crush the body and spirit of the one person devoted to her. Conversely, Victoria, is the epitome of everything Mhairi is not. Abby knows it and sadly, Allison is painfully reminded of this very fact in Darkness of Desire. Take Mhairi out of the picture and these three must learn to navigate their new normal, which by our average everyday lives is anything BUT normal. Whew! Whatta book!

Hot Abby and Victoria are just flat out hot together! I can't quite get enough of their relationship, the sweet love as well as the mistress/pet side of things. Another really well written story that makes me want to burn through the author's entire collection of work. I will say, definitely pay attention to the trigger warning at the beginning of the book. That scene(s) it refers to were rough to get through but it was a good topic I think to bring up. From what little I know of the BDSM world, it is important to have a domme who will properly take care of their sub, you don't want to encounter someone like Allison's partner ever. I have no doubt there are peope like her in the world who take things too far and its important for even fiction stories to bring that topic to life. I can't wait to pick up the third book in this series and watch Allison continue to heal from that whole ordeal.
