Raising the Stakes by C.L. Ledford

4.0

Raising the Stakes by C.L Ledford is part of the Dark Era Series. I was already a fan of this author’s writing before going into this book. But let me just say this book just took it to another level. After reading the blurb I knew this in my wheelhouse… dark romance, enemies to lovers, a marriage of convenience. I read this in about a day, it caught my attention and kept it until the end. I really enjoyed reading TC and Aurora’s past and them growing into something different. I did like their chemistry and the spice was just fire. It did take me a bit to warm up to TC but once I did, I was all in with him. He’s a broody tattoo guy, so of course I would wind up loving him. This was full of tension, intensity, action, a twist and suspense. Overall I really enjoyed this book even if I have unanswered questions after that bomb drop. So I’m unsure how I’m feeling about the ending. I thought it was written well and the plot was addicting while moving at a consistent pace. A page turner that’s for sure. It was described well where you could picture/imagine everything clearly. If you’re a fan of dark romance, than I definitely recommend that you check out this book. C.L Ledford is an amazing author who really knows how to write interesting characters and stories. 

Final review:
