From the bestselling author of Arsen. A broken love story comes a new sexy, emotional, and romantic standalone.

Two strangers in Paris ...
One passionate, earth-shattering kiss.

He was the artist upstairs
with the tantalizing smile and laughing eyes.

He was the devil inviting me to sin,
seducing me to dance in the bright moonlight.

He was desire and need.

When he touched me, my body sang.
My soul came alive.

But I belonged to another man,
and he didn't want to let me go.

I am a writer, a hopeless romantic, a wanderer, a dreamer, a cynic, and a believer. And, oh yes…I might be a bit crazy - but who isn't?

I believe in happy endings however I know that not everyone is lucky enough to get one, but such is life. I think fine lines exist to be pushed and possibly crossed.

Absolutely loved this book!! Sebastian's heart had been torn in two, broken and unwilling to love again. Maybe some day a woman would be able to break down his walls and just love him. Valentina is married to an over powering man she thought she loved, but he betrayed her with another woman. Trying to forgive him they plan a trip to Paris to renew their love. William, her husband makes excuses and she takes the trip alone. Deciding to stay and give herself time to think, she meets Sebastian and there is an instant attraction. Their chemistry is over the top and their lust for one another is scorching.I could not put the book down. The characters are so well defined, Mia certainly made me hate William and I loved both Valentina and Sebastian so much!! This story had all the feels, from extreme angst and sadness to the highest of highs where true love bloomed. This was my first book by Mia Asher and I can't wait to read another!!!

When I read the description of Love Me in the Dark, I was immediately intrigued and the gorgeous cover filled me with a need to read this book ASAP. Thank you Mia Asher for providing me with an arc to read and review!

LMitD is a gripping read that captures the intensity and passion of forbidden love, the pain of unrequited love, the moral dilemma of infidelity and the struggle in a loveless marriage where trust has broken down.

Valentina is damaged by love and Sebastien by loss. Honestly I never wanted the book to end. I couldn’t get enough of their story. This is the ultimate story of forbidden love and definitely a roller coaster ride of emotions that will have you guessing from start to end.

What I truly enjoyed was multiple POVs because they added an interesting dimension to the story and gave access to all three main characters’ mind. Also, the author’s pacing was extraordinary, she knows what is too much and she gives us just the right amount. One of the reasons I love this author is because her emphatic writing heightens emotional conflicts and gives them palpable manifestation. Mia Asher has a gift with words, and LMitD does not disappoint.

The only thing I have to say against this book is that it was often super cheesy and painfully sweet.

It was an addicting book. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and it was nothing short of adventurous, just the right amount of romance, and plenty of plot twists. I gave this book five stars because it immediately pulled me in and did not let go. If you like angst and heightened emotions, then LMitD will keep your attention and it will captivate you.

In short:
Heroes 5/5 | Heroine 5/5 | Plot (Point, Originality) 5/5 | Writing Style 5/5 | Steam 4/5 | Romance 5/5 | Angst-Suspense 5/5 | Darkness 0/5 | Humor 1/5 | Secondary Characters 3/5 | Drama-Conflict 4/5 | Mystery 0/5 | Twists 4/5 | Pacing Steady | Action 3/5

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for me !!
Reviewed in Canada on May 16, 2017
When I read the blurb for this book and glanced maybe once or twice at that glorious cover - I was more than excited to read this book, and I'm feeling more than a little confused as to why this book just didn't do it for me because I honesty don't really know.
It didn't make my pulse rate soar, it didn't make me hold my breathe and it certainly didn't make me cry and I love a good old fashioned love story as much as anyone else.
It had all the right things going for it - married couple really in love , husband acting a dick and letting his wife down, a sexy Parisian artist thrown into the mix with the Eiffel Tower and it's twinkling lights in the background - it should of worked but sadly it didn't for me.

What was good about this book was the writing was really good, it also had the premises of a really good story but for me it lacked some sort of depth to it. I couldn't connect to the characters the way I wanted to and I really really did try.

I loved Sebastian, he was too good for this story, another time another place - yes definitely. He had the patience of a saint and deserved better. A beautiful man who ten years previous had suffered a tragedy in his life that had continued to effect him to this day. An artist based in Paris he should be every woman dream ----

Valentina - married to William, they have comfort, money, status but he works too hard and long hours are taking their toll on their marriage. A trip to Paris to rejuvenate the marriage and put that touch of romance and passion back into their lives; but things don't quite turn out like that and we get to see a different side to William.
I also didn't like Valentina very much. Far too weak and gullible, she needed to grow a pair on more than one occasion and I wanted to shake her really hard at times, in fact lots of times !!!!! I honestly couldn't for the life of me see what the attraction was for Sebastian.

And for all it's passion and romance - it wasn't sexy enough either, it so lacked that basic lust and passion and that certain connection that punches that feeling into your chest when reading a book like this, I kept waiting but that feeling but it never came for me.
I also found it over sickly TOO sweet if there is such a thing. It all became too much and I went through all this story which is told in each chatacter's POV only to be left wanting.
Then also for me the ending let it down too. It ended too quickly, it felt rushed and I was left looking for answers that wasn't there, at least not for me.
Disappointing - yes
But I love Mia Asher and will always read her books, sadly this one just didn't work for me this time.

"You know what I keep wishing for?"
I shake my head.
"For another life, in another universe, with you by my side."

I have read all of Mia Asher's books and I've loved them all, but I will tell you this... THIS IS HER BEST BOOK YET. Wow. Wow. Wow. Really. Addictive doesn't come close to truly describing what reading this book was like. I started it and I felt like I was going to come unglued. I couldn't stop reading. I. COULD. NOT. STOP. I read Love Me in the Dark in less than a day. In a single sitting. I was intoxicated by the words, the characters, the story, the setting, the everything. There's not a single thing in this standalone novel that I didn't love.

NOT A SINGLE FREAKING THING.

I adored it all. The angst you feel right from the prologue, all the way through to the end of the book. It's delicious, a torturous kind of angst that consumes all your thoughts and feelings and makes you feel fevered to finish this novel. Mia Asher's one hell of a writer. So fantastic that I HIGHLIGHTED, and HIGHLIGHT, and HIGHLIGHT. There were many profound and beautiful quotes. This author writes with heart and it shows in her stories. While this novel was juicy and sexy and fun and sweet in ways, it was also really intense! One of the most intense reads I've read this year. I felt on the edge, waiting for the craziness to start as I devoured all the words. If anyone can write a scandalous read in a super classy way, it's Mia freaking Asher.

I'm telling you, I have yet to finish a book since this one. I almost don't even want to read anything else, because I am still, DAYS LATER, completely consumed by the journey this decadent read took me on. Mia doesn't hold back as she introduces us to William and Valentina, a married couple having a hard time. Things between the two of them are strained and broken and Valentina is depressed. She spends most of her energy blocking out the pain, trying to keep one foot in front of the other as she goes on, broken hearted and all. William hurt Valentina and she's struggling to get past that. As their anniversary comes, William recommends a trip to Paris in an attempt to repair the damage he's done.

Renewed with hope, Valentina gets to Paris ready to fix things with her husband, but the story takes a new and intoxicating turn when Sébastien enters the scene. A single artist living in Paris, Sébastien will have you falling in love with him in less than one page. He's charming and charismatic, sweet and sinful, and a little wicked. And dealing with own his heartbreak, Seb still manages to keep a warmth about him that just made this story heart stopping.

Now I know what you are thinking.. this is another one of those cheating tales. Ummm... I don't think so. This is not even close to being salacious. Everything that happens makes complete sense and Valentina's a character that your heart beats for. You want all the things for this woman. She's such a good person and you feel heart broken for her. There are so many twists and turns in this novel that you don't even see coming. Things that will leave you wide eyed and blinking. Sébastien and Valentina form a friendship so endearing, real, and romantic, you will be swooning for days. I truly loved every second of reading and I was in every chapter, my heart lost and on the line for these characters.

Overall, Mia Asher did it again. She captured my heart with a set of characters that might be a little flawed but they are the best kind of flawed. I fell in love with this story, the romance, the surprising twists and turns, and I am still SUPER hungover from it. I want EVERYONE to read this book. I want to force it on everyone **hahahaha** It's THAT FREAKING GOOD. A must read that has ALL. THE. THINGS. Just fabulous.

When Mia Asher writes a book, you have to buckle up! And when she writes love triangles, you better grab tissues and chocolate and whatever else gives you comfort, because she will take you on a ride that leaves you breathless.

Some will like these kind of love triangles, some won't. But one thing is undeniable and that is Mia Asher's beautiful writing that takes you right into the story and the characters mind. She creates characters that are full of flaws that make you want to shake them and see some sense (like I wanted to do with Val), but you love them nonetheless and want them to be happy. Then there are those characters that seem too good to be true and even when you try to protect your heart They capture it bit by bit (like Sébastien)!

I don't wanna talk too much about the story because it's one you have to experience for yourself. I laughed and giggled, I swooned, I was frustrated like hell, I felt such deep hate like rarely before. I wanted to travel to Paris right away to feel some closeness to the story and characters.

Love Me In The Dark is one of those books that take you on a journey for love and finding yourself, to learn what's really important in life and have you reflect on your own life!

LOVE ME IN THE DARK is the highly anticipated STANDALONE contemporary romance by Mia Asher. Famed for her deliciously angsty love triangles, LOVE ME IN THE DARK marks a departure from that theme and see's Asher delve into her sublimely romantic, dreamy side. A side that took me on a passionate journey of love and hope with a beautiful topping of sexiness, a heroine who rediscovers her true self and a hero who made me swoon and love and feel so much. Together they pulled me into their story, their dreams and made me believe that their love should find a way.

Valentina is a woman who has lost her way, a woman I immediately warmed to, felt for. I believed in her motivation and all her reasons why, reasons that slowly unravel and are perfectly depicted within the canvas of the story arc. As the blurb imparts, she meets a beautiful stranger in Paris. A man with his own traumatic, emotive past. A past that will no doubt touch readers’ hearts and make them immediately feel for Sebastian, engage their emotion in his story, and long for his happiness. I longed and I hoped and I swooned over Sebs, his dialogue, his thoughts and his actions towards Valentina are all showcased with a touch of perfection to create a hero to love.

The important supporting cast members in all their technicolour characterisation each add to the development, depth and feel of the narrative and the protagonists at the heart of this passionate, romantic love story. One that shows healing, heart and soul and as it unravels, readers will have a clear picture of where they long for this story to travel and will equally wait with baited breath for the outcome. LOVE ME IN THE DARK does not disappoint as a standalone contemporary romance and true to this author's style she provides those much craved for elements that made my heart beat fast, gave me goose bumps, made me catch my breath, and evoked my emotion in the best possible way showcasing an exquisite skill in the way she crafts and sculpts her words to create the most vivid, beautiful pictures and emotion through charismatic characters and prose, making me feel and care and love. And Valentina and Sebastian made me love them so very much.

Much of the setting is in Paris and the words penned took me there, gave me the Parisian placement, I felt the je ne sais quoi in the telling. It's beautiful and dreamy and so very hopeful. Of course, this would not be a true Mia Asher story without a certain level of angst and whilst readers will not find the gut wrenching, verging on traumatic angst of her previous novels, LOVE ME IN THE DARK has the perfect level of emotion evoked from the characters producing the kind of gentle angst that leads to complete fulfilment in our reading material.

An unforgettable story, LOVE ME IN THE DARK is Mia Asher at her most romantic and beautiful best. A gorgeous beautiful romance that has a touch of the forbidden and lots of heart, one that I hope is discovered and adored by romance lovers everywhere.

First of all, before I start on my review I would just like everybody to please take a moment to admire the cover of this book. HOLY MOLY. HOT OR WHAT? Ok, now that I cleaned up my drool I can continue…This book was phenomenal. I absolutely loved every beautifully written word. I was invested in the story from start to finish. From the moment I read the synopsis I knew I had to read this story and I’m so glad I did. If you are looking for a beautifully written story, then look no further than Love Me In The Dark because Mia Asher can seriously write.

Valentina has not had the easiest times of late; her marriage is on the brink of ruin and as a result, she is unable to trust her husband like she once did. Once trust is broken, it’s really hard to earn it back. It takes one second to gain someone’s trust but a life-time to get it back once it’s broken. As a result Valentina is feeling alone, sad and is the shell of the person she once was.

"They say time heals all wounds, but I disagree. Grief never ends, it changes. You learn how to live with it, rebuild yourself from the shattered pieces around you until you’re whole again, but you will never be the same."

Valentina meets Sébastien in Paris while taking some time out to rediscover herself. When they first meet it’s under unusual circumstances and they kiss. An absolutely earth shattering kiss, the kind of kiss that makes you forget your own name and has the ability to change the course of your whole life.

The intense chemistry, passion and desire Valentina and Sébastien felt towards each other was electric. I felt every look, every touch and every desire. They had the kind of love that people only dream of and this book is the epitome of why I love to read romances so much…The feels.

I’m going to keep this review short, sharp and sweet and even though I am desperate to talk the ear off anyone who would listen about this book, I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, because this story was so breathtakingly beautiful it should be enjoyed spoiler free.

I could not recommend this story strongly enough. It is most definitely a favourite of mine so far this year. If you are looking for your next read to be an epic love story that is so beautifully written, then give this a go. I dare anyone to not fall head over heels in love with the very hot and sexy Parisian, Sébastien…
