From the moment that I started reading DARKNESS BOUND I was hooked so hard my teeth rattled, even though it was a little racy at times it fit the story line perfectly.

The story takes place in Seattle Washington. Dillon Masters is a stockbroker who seems to have everything, good looks, money, and a lot of friends, but he has one problem his wife Karen is not happy. She wants Dillon to move out so she can define who she is. Karen warns Dillon that he should not cross the line and cheat or the marriage will be over.

Dillon is walking through the Nordstrom Department Store when he sees a beautiful lady all dressed in leather. For him it triggers every sexual emotion that Dillion has ever had. Veronica Wallace is her name and believe me when I tell you this character will scare you all the way to the bone, she is truly wicked. Poor Dillon I guess some one forgot to tell him be careful of what you wish for, you just might get it. This is only the start of an exhilarating, steamy, sexual obsession filled with mystery that will hold you so tight you will have trouble breathing. DARKNESS BOUND has more twists and turns than the roller coaster at Six-flags, Be careful you might get whiplash; but if you are like me you will hold on and keep reading until the very last word.

The characters are well defined and Mr. Brooks does an excellent job at pulling you into their thoughts and lives as if they were your own. Even though Detective Tim Rubin is mostly in the background he is my personal favorite, a Colombo type, I never could resist Colombo. Look out for a breathless ending that will keep you wanting more books by Larry Brooks.
