Another review for Darkness Falls!
The folks over at Simply Romance Reviews have given Darkness Falls a lovely review:
|
|
Matthew Tucker is a successful actor on a hit television show, his career on the rise. Life is good. What more could he want? Daniel Westman, that’s what – his co-star and close friend for the last two years. Matthew desires more than friendship with Daniel, though, his attraction for the other man growing day by day. So much so that Matthew gives up the safety and security of his current long-term relationship for the slimmest chance of a relationship with Daniel, feeling there’s something between them, just under the surface. And he was gambling his happiness on it. But months go by, with Matthew suddenly afraid to go forward, to make the first move, to tell Daniel he was falling in love with him. Because if he was wrong, and Daniel was just being his natural charming self and Matthew was looking too deeply into it…he’d lose his best friend. So instead Matthew longs for his friend in silence, until an accident on set may leave Daniel permanently blinded. With his friend hurt, scared and confused, his life possibly forever altered, Matthew never wavers from Daniel’s side, no matter how difficult it gets. His dedication brings them closer than ever before , but is it possible to find happiness, and love, in the wake of a tragedy? Or has Matthew’s hesitation cost him that chance and he’ll lose Daniel to the darkness instead? | |
SRR GRADE: B | |
| When we first meet Matthew he’s on the set with the man he’s secretly in love with, his co-star Daniel. They’re setting up for a stunt which goes horribly wrong and Daniel is blinded. Matthew steps right in to take care of him and from the beginning the reader can feel Matthew’s devotion to Daniel in the way he cares for the other man. When Daniel’s sight doesn’t return as hoped he is angry, upset and frightened but Matthew is there for him even though he’s riding his own rollercoaster of emotions. As Matthew cares for Daniel, he struggles with the sexual attraction, not wanting to take advantage of Daniel and not knowing if his feelings are reciprocated. In Darkness Falls, Jamie Lynn Miller brings us a wonderful story about longing, devotion and love. The character of Matthew is well written and we can really feel the depth of his caring for Daniel. There are some repetitive words and phrases in the book but nothing that detracts from the story focus. The love scenes between the two are nicely done with a buildup to the finale. I really liked this book and you will too if you like love stories with hot sex and happy ending. | |
