Anger and pain brought them together, but their passion might just set them free.Dimitri wants only one thing: revenge. His stepfather, Hendrix, has caused him nothing but pain and heartache. At last Dimitri can take something—someone—important to Hendrix and make him pay: Jess.
Jess is feisty and strong headed. Her past haunts her and connects her to the dangerously dark Dimitri in an unexpected way. Dimitri keeps his secrets locked deep inside, and Jess is drawn to this broken man like no one before.
With little to cling to besides their haunting pasts, both could have been doomed to lives spent raging against the darkness that holds them prisoner. Instead, it seems that as their pain draws them closer together, it is their desire that will set them free.
I was a huge fan of Enslaved
By The Ocean but in my opinion Where
Darkness Lies has blown it away. You
first meet Dimitri in Enslaved By The
Ocean and you want to hate him but you know that he has suffered and he
blames his step-father, Hendrix, revenge and rage has fueled him for
years. Dimitri thinks that Jess is the
way to achieve his goal, little does he know that Jess will do so much more for
him than he ever had planned.
Jess is a nurse on Dimitri’s ship but she has a damaged
past, one that she believed ruined her from ever having true happiness. When Dimitri kidnaps her she sure as hell
doesn’t make things easy for him. Slowly
she starts to see beneath Dimitri’s hard exterior and sees that there is more
to him than people see.
I loved how both Dimitri and Jess interacted with each
other, and that Jess didn’t cower from his intensity. The relationship between them slowly moves
from captor/captive to sort of friends and then so much more. Neither person trusts easily, which is
understandable but it is beautiful when these two begin to trust each
other. Is their relationship
perfect? Oh hell no! Both make mistakes, Dimitri makes a massive
one, one where even reading it the second time (cause yep I had to read it
twice it really is that damn good) I wish I could have punched him in the
balls. I love how this book shows that
even in the darkness, a light can break through and not just bring in the light
but also bring healing and forgiveness.
I am very curious as to who the next book in this series
will be about. I have stated before how
much I love Bella Jewel’s books and my love has grown more with Where Darkness Lies. Make sure you read Enslaved By The Ocean first and I promise you that you will love
these pirates as much as I have.
4.5 Stars!
