Dog-Eared Daydreams

Edge of Darkness (Arrow's Edge MC #2) by Freya Barker Release Date: April 9, 2020
About Edge of Darkness Road rash and Jack meets handcuffs and street smarts.

I am a wandering disaster.
A hedonist, a lover, a son, and a rebel.

My name is Yuma.
I’m sober enough to see the need for redemption, but too blind to realize I already found it.

I am an independent seeker.
An overachiever, a friend, a misfit, and a cop.

My name is Lissie.
I’m determined enough to find acceptance, but too stubborn to see all I need is my own.

We shouldn’t get involved—all the odds are against us—but when bodies turn up on common ground and lines between duty and purpose get blurred, our future becomes clear.

Freya Barker’s books are the ones I automatically turn to when I need something more substantial than cutesy romantic fluff. Her characters are more mature in terms of age, and her stories have a darker tint and heavier tone to them, but never fail to make me think and feel. Her latest release is Edge of Darkness, the second novel in her Arrow’s Edge MC series. If you’re familiar with the series starter, Edge of Reason, then you’ll recognize the main characters in this new book—Yuma and Lissie. That doesn’t mean, though, that you need to read book one in order to enjoy book two. It shouldn’t surprise you, however, that I’m going to recommend that you go ahead and read them in order because, one, Edge of Reason is fantastic romantic suspense novel, and two, there are quite a few recurring characters in both of these fab books.

When he turned forty, Yuma looked into the mirror and didn’t like the shell…

About Cherish Her My life was perfect . . . Until fate took it all away.

Heartache and broken bones left me searching for solace in the darkest of places.

It wasn’t pretty, but with the support of my family, I persevered and I’m stronger for it. My daughters deserve nothing less.

Things were finally back on track, until I met Grant Ellison. Tall, dark, and handsome he sets my heart racing. If only the fear of loving again didn’t paralyze me.

About Pop Star Harley What happens when the most successful boy band on the planet breaks up?
How about twenty thousand fans screaming my name.

Jus…

Now, Harley gets his own shot at a happily-ever-after, but is he willing to put his career on the line to claim it and can he truly have it with his all-too-serious bodyguard?

That success comes at a price, of course. He writes and sings songs the…
