Share the Darkness by Jill Monroe

Satisfying, enjoyable romance

4 Stars

Hannah Garrett is on the run from a man who wants her dead. Being in the witness protection programme has made her unable to trust anyone and she manages to keep herself to herself. Until Ward Cassidy shows up.

Her new work colleague Ward makes Hannah feel things she had forgotten she could feel. But even with her fear of intimacy, she still wants to get as close to him as she is able. When her identity is compromised, Ward decides the best way to protect her is to stay by her side, day and night.

I have enjoyed books by Jill Monroe in the past and this is another enjoyable read. Despite the premise of a woman on the run – this isn’t an action filled book and most of the story is how Ward and Hannah’s relationship changes and progresses. The action comes quite late on in the book and is over quite quickly too.

Ward is a lovely hero – sexy and strong as well as being kind, considerate and smart while Hannah is likeable despite my not feeling able to relate to her. The chemistry between the pair was good and the sex scenes were fairly hot.

My only complaint was that the whole thing seemed to be over too quickly and the story over and finished. Of course there’s the happy ending but I would have liked a little more wrapping up of the romance and an epilogue would have been ideal for this. That said, it’s still an enjoyable, fairly light romance that fans of Jill Monroe or the Blaze line should enjoy. 4 stars.
