From the moment I saw her through the window of her flower shop, something other than darkness took root inside me. Charlie shone like a beacon in a world that had long since lost any light. But she was never meant for me, a man that killed without remorse and collected bounties drenched in blood.
I thought staying away would keep her safe, would shield her from me. I was wrong. Danger followed in my wake like death at a slaughter house. I protected her from the threats that circled like black buzzards, kept her safe with kill after kill.
But everything comes with a price, especially second chances for a man like me.
Killing for her was easy. It was living for her that turned out to be the hard part.

Review

Celia Aaron's writing is PERFECTION. Her descriptions are so spot on I have never lusted so hard after a high paid killer. -After the Pages Book Blog

This book was action packed, has hot steamy scenes, romance, twists that will have you on the edge of your seat and a HEA. Honestly you should one click now as you won't be disappointed at all. -Kinky Kittens Book Blog

I have to simply say that Conrad is sinfully scorching, heat-in-my-belly, want-him-for-my-own hotness. -Book Haven Book Blog


This is definitely on my top dark reads for the year. -Hooked On Books Blog


This is a great mafia read with all the killing, chasing, sex, passion, raw emotion you could possibly want! -BeautyFull of Books Blog


You will love the characters and you aren't going to want to put this book down. -Wicked BabesBlog


Ms. Aaron writes some of the best dark heroes I have ever read. She can make you love a character that no one should love as well as understand them. -Alphas Do It Better Book Blog


If you love a hot action packed stories, this one has your name all over it. -ChatterBooks Blog

You can't help but like the character's even though you know you shouldn't and certainly wouldn't in real life. The book is not real life, thank goodness, and the author had a lot of fun with her story. There was a light heartedness even when things were tense. A lot of it was in the interactions between Conn and Nate and I can't wait for Nate's book. I loved the fast connection between Charlie and Conn. Despite what a lot of people express in some reviews, fast connections do happen frequently in real life. I know a few with good long lasting relationships. Charlie and Conn's relationship grew as they interacted even though the initial connection was fast. It was enjoyable to see Charlie let her tough girl persona take charge. Certainly an interesting book that I highly recommend.

Why did I wait so long?!

This is another book I’ve had sitting idly on my Kindle as throngs of readers have cheered it on and recommended it. Now that I’ve read it, I definitely see what all the cheering was about.

I loved Con, despite (maybe because of) what he did. He’s a great anti-hero, designed to check all my boxes yet never crossing my lines. Once he saw Charlie, that was it for him. He stalked her and desired her but never made a move to enter into her life. Once she does get thrust into his world, he is super protective, possessive and all out perfect. Well, except that he’s a killer. But hey, no one’s perfect.

Charlie was quite a surprise to me. The more I got to know her, the more I loved her. She might not be your typical kick tail heroine, but she was more than capable of taking care of herself when needed...and Con as well.

This had a fast start and continued to move quickly. While there isn’t a mystery here, there is a lot of action and it serves to highlight even more about this couple, individually and together. Add in one of Con’s co-workers and we not only had the addition of humor, but so much more awesomeness that I’ve got to check and make sure he has a book as well.

## Dark and sexy read for sure. Wow. I enjoyed the heck out of this story. Yes, it was a tad dark with the hero being a killer and all, but so what?! It's fiction so why not? I adored this heroine. She surprised me over and over with her strength and ingenuity. And boy let me tell you, she finds herself in a couple of precarious situations. These mafia guys were B.A.D. bad. I don't always care for mafia type stories because they can become lengthy and convoluted. Not this one. It was the perfect length and easy to follow. Perfect balance with the romance as well. Together Charlie and Con were combustible. Thank you to the author for not portraying Con as a manslut. How refreshing. And a second thank you for such a complete ending. Nice reward for us avid readers. Albeit enjoying this book tremendously, I will be skipping Nate's book. I just can't read about 18 year old heroines. At 18 she's still a child and that just has an ick factor for me. This one however, I know I'll be reading again.

This book was right up my alley. Action, steam and witty humor kept me invested in the story. At times my jaw dropped when it came to the blood, but my heart sing at the twistedness of some scenes. It wasn’t super dark, but it was just dark enough that I would label it dark. Charlie and Conrad are amazing together and you could feel the steam coming off the pages when they were together. I love how a hard man like Conrad could be so tender with a sweetheart like Charlie. Nate was an amazing secondary character and I personally can’t wait to read his story. He was the flirt and the jokester that you can’t help but love. 4 Stars #2OCCJD

Dark and so up my Alley

I really liked this one! It had a lot in it that I like to read about!

Everyone who reads my reviews or is my friend knows I love captive stories. This isn't entirely like those, but I enjoyed it so much!
I didn't read these ones in order I think but I'm a rebel like that..

Charlie is an easy to like girl she is a fierce one! She doesn't go down without a fight! She is someone to admire! Then comes Con who is protective and dangerous and still she is a fierce one who isn't afraid of him.

Maybe I'm too easy but I liked them!
Nate is also a very good friend and character because he makes everything a bit lighter.

Fast Paced & Action Packed! So good!

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2018

I really liked it! It's a fast paced and action packed book. There was only a smidge amount of downtime where Charlie was setting snares that had me skimming. The I Love You's happen a little fast, but that's what makes it a fictional romance. The epilogue started good but I got a little confused with the timing and what actually happened. I LOVE NATE!! Sure, this is a dark book with some pretty graphic stuff, but I seriously laughed at Nate. I actually liked him the most!

Dark and dirty

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 26, 2017

Conrad Mercer is the anti hero you will fall in love with. He watches out for Charlie and wants her but knows he shouldn't taint her so he stays away. Until they are brought together through unwanted circumstances.

From there, the story is fast paced, hot and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Con is given orders and normally he follows them, but this time is different. His heart is involved so he does something out of the ordinary and goes against the grain. He is determined to protect Charlie at any cost and Charlie feels the same and Con. She will do what is necessary to save her dark protector.

As with all her other dark stories, Celia really knows how to pull you in and keep you sitting glued to the story until the end. Fast paced, edge of your seat reading with some humour from my favourite side character in a story yet (Nate) provided everything that I love in a story from Celia.

Dark and dangerous

What happens when you get kidnapped because a man, you've never spoken to, he only watches you from a distance.

You end up embroiled in a war between the man who has been watching you and his boss. Danger is never far from what Conrad does for a living, but when he unintentionally gets Charlie involved he has to protect what is his, even though they haven't officially met.

Conrad will do all he can to protect Charlie, not matter how much danger is around the corner for them now they have enemies. Charlie is apprehensive about Conrad, even though he's dark and mysterious, he saved her, but she's still scared of him, yet attracted to him. Conrad is more than attracted to Charlie after watching her for so long, so will they give into the attraction amongst the danger.

Will they be able to survive unscathed in the action packed guns a blazing read.

Gripping Read.

Another fantastic book from Celia.
The Dark and Dangerous Conrad Mercer is just the type of bad man who every woman would secretly love to be their stalker. Or maybe that's just me. ;)

Charlie is a florist she's noticed the car outside the shop senses someone watching her, but she isn't afraid. Actually she finds it comforting.

But someone else is watching not her but Conrad and they've found a way to get to him. His Obsession...Charlie.

It's time for Conrad to come out of the shadows and protect the woman he's crazy about. He's about to go to war to keep her safe. He's a ruthless killer and will destroy anyone who's layed a finger on her.

A great story I loved the chemistry between Con and Charlie.
I really liked Nate too he was hilarious. I'd love to hear his story.

Another great Celia Aaron book which was right up my alley!

I love a dark read and when the main man is as dangerous as Conrad then so much the better! He is besotted with florist Charlie and has to literally take her into hiding with him to keep her safe.

So how can a crazy stalker who carries guns around and isn't afraid to use them win Charlie's heart? Well the sexual attraction is undeniable and Charlie can't resist such a solid chunk of testosterone!

This is a great superhot read!

Well - Celia Aaron has done it again. Hooked you, then lets the book grab you by the collar , slap you round the chops a bit, kiss you and leave you wanting more. Conrad watches from afar, Charlie's knows he's there, but not who he is, then one day BOOM and so it begins. A fast paced read, makes you hold your breath, your willing the anti hero to win. Fingers crossed we see more of Nate???
Loved it. -
