The Ice Gods resident clown and goalie Marcus Bailey proves that there is more than meets the eye with him as his teacher Arianna Spencer schools him with her dark past busting at the seams in Wicked Ends!
Marcus Bailey was a loyal friend who always could be counted on with a tendency to be drawn to the opposite of what was best for him. Devoted to his close friends and family it was not often he let his guard down having been knocked down many times in life.
Arianna Spenser was a gifted musician who put on a happy face for the world despite dealing with mental and physical abuse. Her self-sacrificing nature was both a blessing and a curse putting Arianna in situations that many would not be able to survive and showed her strength.
Both Marcus and Arianna came from dysfunctional families bringing to the forefront that dysfunction does not discriminate between whether you are rich or poor. Their natural pull toward each other showed not only their instinctual understanding of the other but created a unique bond as a result of it. Marcus and Arianna's love story was a sweet one despite the dark undertones that haunted them and caused them to have questionable behavior and communication in expressing their feelings toward the other. Arianna's kindness and genuine caring encouraged Marcus to be a better person allowing him to give her the benefit of a doubt when faced with trying circumstances.
The back and forth between this couple went from witty, to challenging to sweet, always keeping readers on their toes with these two. Marcus and Arianna's mutual caring though expressed awkwardly built a lasting connection that in the end proved that their love was stronger than the obstacles they faced. A blazing physical chemistry added to their connection.
Fun cameos from other Ice Gods and their partners as well as interesting secondary characters enhanced this story. Lots of tension and action kept the pages lively for a quick read.
Mila Kane has developed quite a name for herself in dark romance. Her dependably edgy portrayals and dangerous backstories are reliably entertaining and adrenaline producing. Mila Kane takes readers on a questionable courtship in Wicked Ends where the darker side of love is conquered and given a chance to shine!
