Black Out by Lynn Raye Harris

5.0

Black Out lets readers get into the minds and hearts of two individuals that are used to living life alone, even when they are dependent on others at times, because they never truly give their full trust to those around them anymore. Angie was burned badly by the man she thought she was building a life with and since then has only found bad luck with the opposite sex, until Colton Duchaine strolls into her life. He truly terrifies her because she knows that if she opens her heart, he will have the power to destroy her once and for all. I loved getting to know Angie and see her come out of her shell, especially in quiet moments with Colt, as she begins to understand that offering her trust and ultimately her heart to Colt makes her strong not weak. She finds her backbone and learns that she is a match for him and that making him her own is the only way she will ever truly be whole and happy in her life. Colton has his own reasons for his solitary life, secrets he is keeping from even his closest friends, but Angie draws him like no woman before her and there is no resisting her anymore. Watching him fall under her spell and seeing how he treated her like a princess, reminds me that there are in fact men out there that will put the needs and wants of their woman first in life. Sometimes it’s not even the big things that matter, but the little things like caring for us when we are ill or just telling us that we are perfect the way we are, and Colt understands the power of that and gives it to Angie at every turn. While he is certainly a badass in all the best ways and alpha to the core when it comes to protecting his woman and getting shit done, he shows his love and caring and is not afraid for others to see his devotion and love for his woman. There is definitely heat and passion but my favorite moments between Angie and Colt were when they were just together and quiet in their love and devotion. I want a love like theirs for myself someday for sure. This story hits all the right notes with love, sweetness, action, drama, and a plot with enough twists to keep you wondering until the end. I am looking forward to more in their series as well as the two HOT series currently underway. If you aren’t a devoted Harris reader yet, Angie and Colt's story just might make you one!
