Warning: This is not your typical romance. The story of Abby & Jake
contains disturbing situations, graphic violence, sex, strong language, drug
use, and all types of abuse.
Abby has been through hell and has survived one of the most brutal
childhoods imaginable…barely.
To the outside world she's just a loner with an attitude.
When her grandmother dies in a tragic explosion, Abby is left with
questions-and nothing else.
Homeless, sleeping in a junkyard, and on the run from a system that has
failed her over and over again, she meets Jake, a tattooed blue-eyed biker with
secrets that will rival her own.
Two broken souls that can't be healed. They can't be saved.
Abby & Jake must reveal to one another their most guarded secrets
and discover if they can embrace the darkness those secrets hold-and the
darkness within themselves.
If they can accept one another for who they really are, they might be
able to learn that love isn’t always found in the light.
My 5 Star Review!!
In
The Dark Light of Day we meet Abby Ford, who has seen it all. Having
junkie parents and being forced into foster care as a teenager has left her
broken and unable to be touched. Now she has no one except her Nan.
One explosion later, leaves Abby completely alone, homeless, broke, and on the
run from child services. Jake Dunn is the man he is due to his ugly
past. He makes no regrets for who he is nor does he have a reason to change.
That is until he meets Abby, sleeping in a broke down truck in his father’s
junkyard. Abby and Jake journey down a path full of loss, violence, and
heartache, but it’s also about hope and second chances.
When
I finished this book I was completely thrown for a loop. I wasn’t sure if
the author was brilliant or semi crazy. It was that kind of book: an all
consuming, mind altering, and thoughts completely jumbled type of book.
Do not take the warning lightly for this book. There are some very
graphic scenes in this one. I believe in order for the book to be as good
as it was it needed those scenes, because they truly help you feel every
emotion Abby felt in the book. You see and can feel how broken she is,
which gives you a better idea of how hard it would be for an individual to
overcome all she has. I am extremely grateful that I stumbled upon this
book, and recommend it to anyone looking for a non-traditional love story that
will consume your emotions!!
