A review by bookloverchelle
The Darkest Touch by Gena Showalter

4.0

For centuries Torin has not known the touch of another person without then facing their deaths. No matter who he touches he spreads disease so he knows that no matter how attracted he is to Keeley, the Red Queen, he must leave her for her own safety. But Keeley doesn't know the word 'no'. She may have started with nothing but anger towards Torin the longer the spend together the more she can see the heart of vulnerability of the man beneath the warrior. As they spend more and more time together Torin's resolve begins to weaken but with ever stolen touch Keeley's life could possible hang in the balance. Can the warrior who's never known a woman's touch finally find the woman who can live with his caress? Loved reading Torin's HEA because he's been such a part of the other's stories until now. Because this is a long standing series I do not recommend picking up with this book because there are ongoing plot lines and repeating characters so it could be confusing. But as a long time fan of the Lords of the Underworld series it was another great read!
