About LOVE IN THE LIGHT (Hearts in Darkness Duet #2)
Two hearts in the darkness…
Makenna James and Caden Grayson have been inseparable since the day they were trapped in a pitch-black elevator and found acceptance and love in the arms of a stranger. Makenna hopes that night put them on the path to forever—which can’t happen until she introduces her tattooed, pierced, and scarred boyfriend to her father and three over-protective brothers.
Must fight for love in the light…
Haunted by a childhood tragedy and the loss of his family, Caden never thought he’d find the love he shares with Makenna. But the deeper he falls, the more he fears the devastation sure to come if he ever lost her, too. When meeting her family doesn’t go smoothly, Caden questions whether Makenna deserves someone better, stronger, and just more…normal. Maybe they’re too different—and he’s far too damaged—after all…
Review
Laura Kaye does a fantastic job of bringing Makenna and Caden’s feelings into the light of day and illustrating how important they’ve become to one another in such a short amount of time. Makenna calms Caden’s demons, but he’s the only one who can truly keep them at bay, and until he understands what he’s worth, he’ll never be able to keep the past in the darkness and stay in the light with the one person he doesn’t feel good enough for but the woman who shows him every day how much he means to her.
One Life. One Chance. No Regrets.
Nobody knows how precious life is better than Caden, but he’s also haunted by what happened to his mother and brother all those years ago, and those scars just won’t seem heal despite how well his life is going since he was trapped in the elevator two months ago with Makenna. Even with Makenna’s honesty and positivity, Caden finds himself stressed and anxious, especially when it comes to meeting Makenna’s family.
Love in the Light is about more than just continuing Makenna and Caden’s connection from “their” elevator experience and the blossoming of their love; it’s more so about Caden gaining freedom from the darkness and ridding himself of the feelings of rejection and abandonment that still plague him regardless of how many years have passed since the accident, and what’s most difficult for Makenna and readers to accept is that it’s not really a battle that she can fight for Caden because not only won’t he allow her to, but she can’t rid him of the demons that control his psyche. It has to come from within, and until Caden’s ready to do that, the darkness wins and everything Caden’s wanted since losing his family hangs in the balance.
I definitely wasn’t expecting Makenna and Caden’s story to take the turn that it did, but the more I thought about it, the more I understood that that’s exactly the direction Laura Kaye needed to take them because without dealing with Caden’s past – a past that is very much still in his present – there’s no moving forward for the couple.
The conclusion to Makenna and Caden’s story is an emotional journey, and it’s one of enlightenment for Caden, which is exactly what he needs to let the light completely in.
A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

Excerpt
“Do you want to get changed and I’ll set dinner out?” Caden asked.
“Yeah,” Makenna said. “Sounds great.” The kitchen, dining area, and living room were one big room, with her bedroom door toward the far end. She paused there and looked back. Caden moved around her little kitchen, comfortably and familiarly, and he just looked so freaking good there. In her space. Well, their space now.
He still had his townhouse in Fairlington, but he rarely slept there anymore. And it was so bare bones in furnishings that he preferred they not sleep there because he feared she’d be uncomfortable. A part of her wasn’t sure why he even kept it at this point.
“What?” he asked, giving her a skeptical look.
She grinned and leaned against the door jamb. “I rode our elevator today.”
He shook his head. “Anything interesting happen?”
“Oh, I got trapped with a smoking hot stranger and made out with him in the dark. The usual,” she said.
He smirked. “That never happens.”
Makenna threw her head back and laughed. Still smiling, she changed into jeans and a pink camisole with a low back, and then she threw a warm, chunky caramel-colored cardigan over that.
She found Caden sitting at the set table, containers of food overflowing with several types of noodles. It smelled amazing—savory and spicy and like she could eat everything she saw.
For a moment, the look on his face made her think he was upset about something, but then he saw her and his expression transformed into a sexy smirk. “Smoking hot, huh?”
Laughing, she took the seat next to him. “You fishing for compliments, Grayson? I already said you were freaking gorgeous.”
“Yeah, but that’s not the same as smoking hot.” He arched a brow, and damn if his playfully smug, expectant expression wasn’t hot as hell with his brow piercing and the widow’s peak of his dark hair.
She picked up her fork. “Okay, then how about this? You are so freaking gorgeous and so smoking hot that you make my heart race and my mouth water and my panties melt. Every time I see you. How’s that for a compliment?”
Caden’s smile was slow coming but so damn sexy. “I like tattoo night.”
She laughed and shook her head. “So do I.”
