Lee
Gibson is a witch who loves the rumble of a motorcycle and a big man
between her thighs. She isn’t looking for a relationship, so when
she comes across playful werewolf, Jeremy Blake, she takes him up on
his offer of a fiery ride in his bed.
Jeremy’s life is not receptive to women. It is a male dominated
world that doesn't accept women. Jeremy is a demanding and vicious
werewolf, something most women can’t cope with. He is just looking
for a night of fun with a green-eyed witch but that one night with
Lee has him reconsidering his belief in living a solitary life.
If
you’re looking for a spicy, bed banging, paranormal romp, IN A DARK
EMBRACE is the book for you. It’s light and fun and showcases the
pitfalls of a new sexual encounter. Ms. Bern doesn’t make the reader
think that it’s true love at first glance, but allows the reader to
follow the ups and downs of carnal relationships.
Jeremy
is a possessive wolf, while Lee is the free spirit. She is capable
of defending herself from Jeremy and that is essential to the story.
Without her strength, there would be no possible future between the
two.
While I
enjoyed IN A DARK EMBRACE, I was a tad bit disappointed that the
pack storyline wasn’t explored. I feel like Ms. Bern teased me with
‘what ifs’ instead of following through with that thread of the
story.
Overall, IN A DARK EMBRACE was an enjoyable and sexy story.
