I love a morally grey, OTT jealous/possessive MMC.
Dark Delights is the second book in the Hellions of Hade Harbor series, but it can be read as a standalone.
Beckett Anderson and Eve Martino knew each other because her mother worked for his family, and he was her brother’s best friend. They didn’t get along, but one fateful night sparked Beckett’s obsession…and hate.
Oh, Beckett. He had such a terrible “childhood.” He went through things no person, let alone a child, should go through. He coped in the worst ways, but he just needed his escape.
Eve didn’t have it easy either. She worked so hard for everything in her life. And she had to put up with Beckett’s cruelty toward her, but she never truly backed down from him. She was also so kind; she did everything she could to help Beckett when his POS step-mom came around.
This was angsty, dark, and had an element of suspense. I actually guessed one part right, but I didn’t predict the connection…which was

Dark Delights is book 2 of Hellions of Hade Harbor, I enjoyed the first book but loved the second one!
Beckett and Eve are from two different worlds, one is rich while the other is considered poor. He is her brother's best friend but she met him before her brother. From the moment they met they clashed and never got along. They are both broken in their own way, he's the lonely boy and she's the jealous girl.
Beckett had to grow up without love from his father and dealt wit his evil, manipulative stepmother. Eve grew up surrounded by love but was overlooked, jealous, unseen and never felt like she fit it. But things changed one night they feared was their last and let go and fell into each other. They lived to see another day but something that happened to Beckett that he blamed Eve for he couldn't let go and bullied her all while struggling with his true feelings for her. I loved no matter how much Beckett bullied Eve she always fought back and never backed down. The chemistry between these two was hot! The things Beckett went through was horrible and broke him but I loved how Eve found a way to help bring those secrets to light. Through everything, they found their HEA.

I loved so much about this book: possessive MMC, brother’s best friend, billionaire hockey player, dark-ish bully romance, I could go on. Beckett’s story and growth was so beautiful and heart wrenching. I loved the chemistry and banter between Eve and Beckett.
I took off one star because there are a few plot/editing issues, especially in the first 3rd of the book or so. No major plot holes, but a lot of things that make you stop and think “that’s weird, I don’t think (s)he would do that…” and it ruins some of the suspension of disbelief. But the rest of the story was strong enough to overlook those things.

Hot. Slightly disturbed but wonderful. Bully/enemies to lovers done very well. Wasn’t expecting the second plot very good!
medium-paced
Loved Eve and Beckett!
So good! I couldn’t put it down! I love the storyline! It has some of my favorite tropes. Highly recommend ! I definitely want to read more books from this author.

I can’t describe how much I LOVED this deliciously twisted read, but I will try. The lives of Beckett and Eve have been intertwined for years and though he’s her brother’s best friend the same can’t be said of them. Beckett and Eve butt heads from the first moment they meet at a young age and over the years the tension between them intensifies. From the outside looking in, it seems as if Beckett’s life is an easy trust fund life, but his life was utterly heartbreaking. Eve works hard for everything, just to survive day to day and seeing Beckett walk around living the easy life cuts her deep. These two could not be more of opposites, yet under all the back and forth, the tension is ready to snap. They want to hate each other and for most of the book they do and then things begin to change. This story was twisted in so many ways, but my adoration for Beckett skyrocketed because of all the obstacles he faced in life and for the way he was utterly obsessed with Eve. I LOVED this book!!
Eve and Beckett have known each other for years, and most of that time hate for the other was prevalent. Eve has seen parts of Beckett that no one else has, including one of his best friends, fellow Ice God, and her twin. The two end up going through a tragedy together, which ending up separating them even further. However, that changes when there was a housing mixup at college, and the two end up rooming together. Eve would do anything for her mom, but Beckett’s stepmom is truly the worst. My heart broke for Beckett and everything he has endured; I love how much he needs Eve beside him. While this is a bully romance, Eve has no problem giving Beckett everything he hands to her back, and they have a lot of miscommunications to overcome. I really enjoy this series and cannot wait for more. This is a dark book, so please check the trigger warnings.
