Love Me in the Dark Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 905 ratings

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.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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.

    "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.

    First let me be clear that I ADORE Mia Asher and love her books. And this book was a perfectly sexy, fast-paced and truly engrossing story. And the cover...WOW!! One of my favorite covers ever and that is very important to me in deciding whether to read a book.

    The description is fabulous and the first half of the book was really fantastic. Just what I love in a contemporary romance. Valentina has been hurt by her husband William, and decides to stay in Paris alone when William cancels his travel plans there. Their trip was going to be an effort to reconnect as husband and wife, and re-kindle their love for each other.

    Valentina has become somewhat lost in her marriage, and feels that Paris will give her freedom and the opportunity to find her true self once again. She feels herself growing stronger as a person every day, and falls in love with the city.

    "My arms outstretched, I’d danced to the vibrant music of life. I prayed for romance, adventure, the unknown. I wanted to fall in love and love to the point of no return. I wanted the turmoil, the stress, the upheaval, and chaos—the Sturm und Drang."

    And Sebastien. HOLY HELL!! I loved him from the minute he was introduced into the story!! A sexy French artist, what could be bad, non? Wellllll....besides stating that he was an artist and mentioning one or two of his paintings, there was no discussion of the art scene in Paris, what his artistic process was, just, nothing. I would have loved some discussion of his art. Something to fill out this part of the storyline.

    But I digress. Valentina meets the gorgeous and mysterious Sebastien and the two really connect. Sebastien has been emotionally closed off for many years, but finds himself falling in love with the beautiful, kind and sweet Valentina. I adore a good love triangle and I really felt tremendous sympathy for Valentina. She truly was torn between her husband and Sebastien.

    “One day you’re going to stop running away from me. And when that day finally comes, I’ll be here waiting for you,” he whispers softly, his words a caress. “Now go … before I change my mind and decide it doesn’t please me to share you with others after all.”

    There were some minor inconsistencies in the story but overall I loved the book until the last part. The plot just descended for me into soap-opera territory and was reminiscent of a favorite movie of mine - but it just didn't work for me here. Fans of Mia Asher will love this book, it just was not a favorite of mine. I will always read what Mia writes and eagerly look forward to her next books!

    Favorite quote:

    “Il n’y a qu’un bonheur dans la vie, c’est d’aimer et d’être aimé.”
    There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved.

    Reviewed in Canada on May 21, 2017

    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 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.
