Stolen Lust by Charmaine Pauls

 

ABOUT THE BOOK


Charmaine Pauls knows dark romance, and Stolen Lust is no exception. There is a balance to the dubious consent concept that appeals to me. A love-hate relationship, or forceful union, an alpha male with a penchant for overpowering, when I want a dark romance, this is what I look for. The subject matter is not for everyone, although Stolen Lust is a bit tame in this department. But, like all her books, it creates an excellent tension with this type of theme.

A carjacking and kidnapping lead to immediate chemistry between Ian and Cas. Ian is immediately obsessed; Cas is intimidated but faces that, and the two of them are a wonderfully complex pairing. I was engrossed in their story, and the cliffhanger ensures I will be reading the next book in the series.
