Book Review of Share the Darkness (Harlequin Blaze, No 245)

Share the Darkness (Harlequin Blaze, No 245)
reviewed on


I was not impressed with this book. The emotions of the H and h were not realistic given the situations in which they found themselves throughout. Just as an example, when the h and her handlers (U.S. Marshals) take her to a safe house after her cover identity is compromised, the H (an FBI agent) goes with them. While in transit, he touches her hand and gets hard (in a police car, when he still believes the h is a criminal). Then, when they're sitting in the safe house and the Marshals explained to H why the h was in Witness Protection, he touches her and gets hard and is constantly lusting after her (inappropriate much?). And this is after the H suspected the h was a criminal from the beginning! I mean, really. The emotions of the characters were too overblown and ridiculous given the circumstances in which they found themselves throughout the book. For me, Share the Darkness harkens back to the "older" Harlequin novels, which I associate with having characters that are overly dramatic and border on the ridiculous. I would not recommend this one.
