Blog Tour & Review by Marina & Maimeo's Angels: Dark Love by Amy Lynn Garcia

“The Two Sides of Me” Series by Amy Lynn Garcia
Blog Tour May 28th – June 11th

Dark Kiss (Book 1)


Synopsis:
Secrets and demons from Evan Lawson’s past pull this strong man to the edge of death where only the whispers of a mysterious voice can penetrate his darkness.   A young woman dedicating her entire life to her career and family comes face to face with a heart stopping magnetic man who has the power to make all of her dreams come true or completely destroy her.
Evan is a self made world renowned restaurant mogul who is cold and distant, pushing anyone attempting to enter his life away with intensity. Until the night he hears Mia Galloway’s soft alluring voice calling to him through the murky
waters of his unconsciousness.
Love is a foreign notion that neither Mia nor Evan had ever planned on, in fact both had sworn it off entirely. After going through a horrifying kidnapping at the age of 19 Mia made a conscious decision to never get involved with a man….ever. She has dedicated her life to healing others and loving her family and friends. Evan and his demons from the past have shaped him into the dominant, controlling cruel man he is today. The scars from his childhood run deep and the memories of a tormented mother and a father in denial of his wife’s illness bind him emotionally and make him believe he is incapable of love.
Evan and Mia are thrown together in the ICU after he drives his car over the edge of a bridge, killing his passenger immediately. Evan was rushed to a private Seattle hospital where Mia is his nurse. She works at drawing  him from his coma but has no idea who she is actually summoning. The man who went over the bridge in that car, the man known to his family and co-workers as  “The Beast” teeters on the brink of death, ready and willing to make his way to hell. But when he feels the magnetic pull of Mia’s presence, hears her luring whispers, feels the electric voltage of her touch on his skin…..he knows….he’s not going anywhere…..
not until he can see the face that belongs to his savior’s voice…..

 Love born of tragedy never lasts that's what they say. Right? There will never be a more unlikely pair than Evan Lawson and Mia Galloway.

Two people who come from very different worlds, but sharing one thing in common, dark terrifying pasts. After a fatal car accident Evan lands in Mia's I.C.U. where her matchmaking coworker offers him to Mia as the greatest patient, gorgeous, rich and most importantly single. They fall for each other in a very unusual way smashing down the barriers of unconsciousness. This isn't an easy love though; no this is a love of manipulation, passion and possessiveness.


The terror of Mia's past, combined with Evan's alpha male  personality and mysterious unknown history, cause Mia to spiral

into depression that nearly drives her over the edge. When Evan has had enough of Mia's fears and failing health he can no longer watch her disintegrate and decides to take matters into his own hands. But will he be too late? Has someone one of their pasts done the unthinkable?


Floating in and out of consciousness, powerless and unable to communicate it's Mia's turn to fight the dark and find her way back to the man who owns her heart, the only one who can make her whole again...Evan Lawson

Evans determination, his strive to make her happy just awwww, it's so hard to put it into words really! Mia, her strength of character and caring side made her such a wonderful character as well! The feels in this book and the actual storyline have brought this series to such a climactic end and I couldn't recommend it highly enough! Must read series and best book without a doubt!! Congrats Amy on another brilliant story!







I received this ARC for an honest review.
This is Book 3 and the conclusion and picks up where Dark Thief finished. I wasn’t disappointed. Amy Lynn Garcia led us on an emotional and often times dramatic ride as she told the story of a love than transcends to the very soul.
This book was as amazing as Dark Kiss and Dark Thief.
 “I don’t think you will ever fully know or appreciate what you’ve done for him, Mia. He was a completely different man before, he loves you so much, and you saved him.”
“He saved me, too,” I say softly.
No truer words were written. Evan and Mia do in fact save each other.
 In Dark Love, Evan’s controversial past really catches up with him and of course Mia is in the crossfire. Throughout Dark Love, the reader is sent on a constant emotional rollercoaster. You never know where you are going to be hit next emotionally. 
Evan's actions are on occasion unbelievable. Honestly if he was mine, I think I might kill him. I certainly understand Mia’s frustrations and feelings.  I know at heart all Evan wants to do is protect Mia, but there are no words to explain some of his actions or decisions. They are wrong on so many levels and yet Mia forgives him so easily.
The sex sizzles and Evan and Mia together are simply combustible. The electricity seems to shoot off the pages as one reads this series. However, Dark Love is more about the depth of love that these two feel for each other and the life they long to live together.    
“You go, I go “said repeatedly by both Evan and Mia; Evan tells Mia “I will never leave you, baby. Something in your soul always calls me home, back to you.” Those are the lines of the series and epitomises Evan and Mia and their love for one another. You are almost there as a witness to their feelings and what a privilege that is to this reader.
This book, as with her others were full of emotion, heartache, shocks and surprises. Just when you think nothing will shock you, Amy Lynn Garica does and not always in a good way. I laughed, I cried, I screamed and I shook my head. It’s that kind of a book. Things change dramatically from one moment to the next and there were moments when I felt simply devastated.
Well done Amy Lynn Garcia, you have another hit on your hands. I highly recommend this book and the wonderfully talented Amy Lynn Garcia to you all. If this series is not on your TBR list then might I suggest that you get it immediately, you won’t be disappointed.
I look forward to seeing where Amy Lynn Garcia goes next. She has certainly set the bar high.

In conclusion,I have to say this is one of the best series, I have ever read!
