Marrok tried for more than 1500 years to break the curse that the infamous sorceress Morgana Le Fay put on him. He stole her book of power, but couldn’t open it, at least not till he met Olivia Gray.
When he meets Olivia a long dead hope awakens anew, but also his distrust toward witches and everything magical. Nonetheless it seems that she is the key to his freedom so he will do everything to get her to open the cursed Doomsday Diary. What he doesn’t count on is that she manages the most impossible thing, she’s found a way into his heart. Can he trust her with his heart although she looks like his Morgana?

TEMPT ME WITH DARKNESS is Ms. Black’s long awaited debut into the world of paranormal romance and in my opinion it’s a huge success. The book is a brilliant start to her new Doomsday Brethren, a series that once you get hooked won’t let you go. Ms. Black has a talent to absolutely enchant her readers, no matter if with her world building like in TEMPT ME WITH DARKNESS or her typical unforgettable and fascinating characters. Not only Marrok and Olivia are interesting and fascinating characters, but also the other Doomsday warriors. I can hardly wait to read their stories and I am impatiently awaiting the next book of the series, SEDUCE ME IN SHADOW.
The book has everything what a keeper needs, a wonderful hero and heroine, a more than evil villain, great emotions, magic and sensual moments. It’s a book that absolutely grips your interest and you won’t be able to put the book down once you’ve started.
So if you are looking for a book that sweeps you away on an enchanting journey, TEMPT ME WITH DARKNESS is the perfect book for you. I promise you that you won’t be disappointed.
