Review:
I read and love dark erotica, so I was really looking forward to reading my first Leila DeSint book. She is highly recommended by some of my favorite authors and this book did not disappoint! It is a sensual, highly erotic and sometime tragic story that really grabbed me and drew me in to the dark world of London/Desniah.
Although the sex scenes are totally steamy and hot, there is an underlying story here that touches on some serious issues of childhood abuse and personality disorders. But these themes are handled with grace and a story that is both very emotional and thrilling at the same time.
I loved Rhys and thought he and London/Des were fantastic together. I felt apprehensive for the two of them, and the unique, multiple POVs added to my feelings. This is a very intense and very sexy story, and a must-read for all fans of dark erotica.

About the author:
Leila DeSint was born in a small town on the east coast of Canada. Her nomadic childhood gave her the ability to ebb and flow with the seasons, people and places she lived in. Most often, she could be found in a corner with a pencil and notepad using words to recreate the dark world around her. Many summers of her youth were spent on the shores of her birthplace collecting seashells, but she always returned them for the next wanderer that happened by.
The pencil and notepad have been traded for a computer, but the words never stop flowing, nor did her interest in conjuring glimpses of the world as she perceived it. The corner is now a desk. And rather than leaving behind seashells for wanderers, she pens dark, gritty erotic literature that examines the complexities of human emotions and sexuality through an ever-changing lens. She delves into the shadowy areas and explores the social-perceptions of taboos.
She threads together the remnants of the world she witnessed in order to shed light on obscure places.
