Dark (Stronghold Book 1) Kindle Edition

Greyson Dark doesn’t like strangers in his territory.

Eva Waverley doesn’t like being told to keep out.

After her father's suicide, hiking is the only thing that makes the bullying in Eva's new school bearable. When Greyson rescues her from a tumble, she falls for him despite his autocratic demeanor. She's leaving for college soon—what does it matter if she crushes on a man everyone else fears?

Greyson suspects Eva is his true mate, but duty demands he remain aloof. She doesn’t know he's a long-lived Sentry, sworn to protect Earth from an ancient alien menace. When she leaves for college, he's relieved, but four years later she comes back, all grown up and more gorgeous than ever.

Greyson can't afford to care for a mortal woman, no matter how compelling. Hackers are attacking Stronghold, the Sentries' net, and Spiders are swarming beyond the moon, but when Eva is attacked, he discovers he can't just let her die…

Review

~Editor's Pick~ ----4 stars! "I found myself just as fascinated by Greyson as Eva was. He was strong but silent, grouchy but sensitive, not to mention smokin' hot." -Manic Readers----4 stars! "The book is fast-paced, easy to follow, with a great conflict and it left me wanting more. The world Ms. Leaf has created is very interesting." -The Romance Reviews

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark!
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2022
This is the first story in the new "Stronghold" paranormal, alien series. This is a stand alone read that is not overly long. The story is about Greyson and Eva. Their story is very intriguing with action and mystery. The plot brings something new in the form of Sentries protecting earth from other aliens. These two meet when she is in high school. The only peace she has is hiking, this is were she meets him. Fast forward four years and she is finished with college. She decides to return to the woods and the mysterious man. I enjoyed every bit of this story. I look forward to reading next several in the series. *I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.*

The author has a hit with this story. I loved the characters and the twisty road they traveled to the end. They had good chemistry and the action and mystery just added the fuel to this good read. Don't hesitate, get the book cause you will enjoy it.

I received a free copy of this book via Evernight and am voluntarily leaving a review.

3.0 out of 5 stars New series by a wonderful author
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2014
Very sci-fi, rather slow-moving romance. It was good. But not on my re-read list. I do love this author, though, and find it hard to resist her stories.

This was an entertaining book. And a new author for me. So I didn’t know what to expect. I got a copy of the book. And am voluntarily leaving my review.
