Take Criminal Minds, mix in some Dexter, and add the point of Saw and you get Born, Darkly.. a PHENOMENAL dark romance with a side of psychological thriller based on a psychologist with a secretive past and her death row patient. 

Dr London Noble, renowned psychologist to criminals meets Grayson Sullivan, convicted murderer who thinks he’s done the world a favor by ridding it of monsters and holy smokes these 2 characters are INCREDIBLE!! Greyson is a master manipulator and he has his genius mind set on London. He knows she’s like him.. he just has to *piece the puzzle* together to get her to see what he sees. 

This book was EXPERTLY written. Trisha Wolfe is hands down an amazing author but she took this story to a whole other level!! Kept me guessing until the very end. I was literally on the edge of my seat at times while reading this story. The psychological aspects were spot on! Getting inside Greyson’s mind, the court case, the evidence, the “hospital scene” all of it was just intense, thrilling, and captivating. I cannot leave a more positive review. 

This story may be hard to read for some so check trigger warnings!! This duet (Born, Darkly & Born, Madly) are not your average dark romance books. This story is intense and twisted and will leave you absolutely shocked to the core! 

Hands down 5 stars for me!! I loved Greyson.. I absolutely adored London in all her newfound bada$$ery. I can’t wait to delve into Born, Madly immediately!! Thank you Trisha Wolfe for sending me these beautiful books and allowing me into the minds of Greyson Sullivan & London Noble!!
