Broken in the Dark by Ashley Elizabeth is now live!
BROKEN.
That’s what I am when he finds me in the dark,
saving me from the vicious grasp of a bloodthirsty monster
by bringing me back to the only place I ever called home.
THE ALARIE ESTATE.
A fortress where I spent my childhood,
safely hidden behind impenetrable stone walls.
A place where my heart only ever beat for him.
But all that changed one ominous night seven years ago
when I was forced to leave behind everything and everyone I knew.
And now, as I stand before him saying my vows,
I no longer see the gentle boy I grew up with,
but a man of great strength and power who thrives in darkness.
To the world, he’s a deadly predator.
To me, he’s my husband.
Ready to burn the world to ashes and annihilate any monster
who dares to touch me,
including the one with no face who hides in the shadows,
stopping at nothing to get me back.
LE DIABLE.
A man feared by everyone except one.

I have never read anything by Ashley before and was pleasantly surprised with this book. After finishing this book, I did a bit more research on Ashley because I wanted to see what other books she had out and was even more surprised to see that she’s a fairly new author (first published in 2023 and this is her fourth release). So this is my PSA to everyone saying to check her out because she’s quite talented.
This is a great start to a new series by Ashley Elizabeth. This is labeled as a dark romance, however, I would say the only “dark” parts are what Scarlett endures and everything else is more on the suspense side. This would be perfect for anyone looking to dip their toes into dark romance.
I won’t go into any specifics or details about this book because I feel like readers will enjoy this book more without knowing much more than the blurb. This story does surround Leo and Scarlett and how their lives are intertwined once again.
Broken in the Dark is very fast paced with some twists and turns that keeps readers right at the edge the entire time. I did figure things out fairly early on, but that did not really hinder my enjoyment of this book. And while there were some things that bothered me (few character inconsistencies) they too did not hurt the overall vibe of this story.
I highly recommend this story. It’s a great way to dip your toes into dark romance and dark romance lovers will appreciate the story itself with how things play out.
