No Place to Hide by Harper Ashley, Wren Hawthorne

4.0

dark tense fast-paced

---

Blair is your typical well behaved rule following pretty girl, who wants to keep everyone happy and has only dated that one guy from the football team. 

Jackson is a carnie, because after he left prison he had no where else to go. He likes to mind his business and keep to himself. 

This book gave me everything I wanted from a dark romance, spooky carnival read. When Jackson confronts Blair's ex-boyfriend he didn't expect anything of it, but she was dead set on thanking him. 

Neither of them expected to end up playing a game that would forever change their lives. 

With a trigger warning list a mile long this book is a wild and sexy ride from start to finish, and I loved every second of it. The descriptions painted a clear picture of the carnival atmosphere, right down to the scent of junk food and sweat. I loved that this was a fun, spicy, quick read but I also felt we could have fleshed out the characters a bit more in a full length novel, however this is not a criticism. I would have loved a full length novel. The spicy scenes were a fresh take on sexy dark romance. 

If I can say anything specific to draw your attention just let me say. Sexy hide and seek. 

Thank you to Harper and Wren for sharing an ARC with me, it was a sexy and wild ride.
