Parker is legit a pervert. And not the fun type of pervert. But a genuine douchebag. Couldn't deal with him any longer.

I am not normally an erotica romance reader. The growing romance between Parker and Mia had me absorbing every detail.

Dark Room is a racy and naughty bit of fun. Society X is a vacation from the normal "club". Almost like Spring Break! (smirks) Maybe a bit Girls Gone Wild!?

Dark Room isn't all naughty though; it's got a sweet story and a wonderful ending. It may start out scratching an itch but ends with dreams and a future.

I was so excited when I found out that two of my favorite authors were writing a book together! Collaborations can be really great, but they are also sometimes risky because you don't know how well two writing styles will mix. I have to say that with Dark Room, Heidi McLaughlin and L.P. Dover did an amazing job of meshing their styles together in a cohesive way that I really loved. The story and set of characters were fantastic and I honestly could not get enough! I loved this book and couldn't put it down! I cannot wait to get more from these two and this series!

I really have to be careful here with what I reveal, so I am not going to summarize much of the story with here. This is really one book to go into blind without having all the details. While I was excited to begin with, when I quickly figured out what was going on here I couldn't believe how much better this book got for me. It was already promising enough with some of my favorite authors writing it, but it also ended up being my specific crack when it comes to tropes and trust me when I tell you it was amazing!

Society X is an exclusive club that serves it's patrons their every desire. Those hand selected get the chance to be a part of a different membership within the club itself, in which there are a strict set of rules that each person must follow. No names, no numbers, and everything must remain completely anonymous. With each room in the club having a specific purpose, the Dark Room allows members to experience their fantasies without anyone knowing who you are. Completely in the dark, members must rely on their other senses to experience a passion unlike anything they have ever done before. For Parker, it started as a business venture and quickly turned into an addiction that consumed his every thought. For Mia, it was an opportunity for her to move on from her ex and find the girl she had lost along the way. But soon both Parker and Mia find that they want more than just the Dark Room. But how can it be anything more when they don't know anything about each other, including the other's name?

I loved Mia and Parker. These two were so sexy, and I loved their scenes together. While you might question how there could be much steam here when they weren't allowed to see one another or speak to each other, I have to say just trust me. The sex between these two could not have been hotter! I love me some dirty talkers and when a man gets vocal with his girl, but these two had every bit as much chemistry and heat as you would expect in a story like this. What Parker and Mia had went beyond words, and I really enjoyed seeing how well they connected without ever even saying a single thing. These two were the perfect match for each other, and I loved them.

I really loved this story and without going into details, this book surprised me in a lot of ways. I didn't know much of what to expect beyond what the blurb mentioned of the club, but it was so much more than I could have imagined! I expected this book to be good, but L.P. Dover and Heidi McLaughlin absolutely blew me away! I honestly cannot wait for more from these two, and I think that the characters we met here are so interesting that I hope each of them gets a story. I will definitely be waiting for the next Society X book, and I think that this series could very well end up being one of my all time favorites! If you like some steamy romance with a unique and well written story, this book is an absolute must read!

Much better than the last sex club novel I read--Taking The Lead. The characters, plot, and pretty much everything else was just better. I absolutely love when you can't tell which author is writing which chapters. I think that makes a great partnership and that's exactly what happened here.

I actually hated Parker at first, but of course fell in love with him as soon as he showed he could be something other than a meathead.

I really enjoyed Mia as well! She was strong, fierce, and brilliant. And she left that asshole Zac behind for good, thank god!

DNF.
I didn't hate it. I just really, really didn't like it. It was completely unromantic and I felt slightly uncomfortable. Just slightly; but it was there.
