Quickie Review: The Blackest of Hearts

The Blackest of Hearts by Emma V. Leech
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A flush rushed over her, prickling up her neck as she found herself shocked at her own decadent desires. Horrified she glanced up, to find Luther watching her, wide awake, his gaze intent. 

“Don’t stop,” he said, his voice rough. The blaze at her cheeks only burned hotter at the discovery he’d been watching her, and she moved away. “Please, Katherine,” he said, such pleading in his voice she stilled. “I’ve longed for you to touch me. I can’t think of anything else. I’m going out of my mind for wanting you. My skin aches to feel your hands on me. I crave your mouth, your kiss, everything. You’ve got me, love, heart and body and soul. I’m yours to do with what you will. So, please don’t go. I can’t bear it when you leave me alone at night.” 

She stilled, staring up at him in astonishment. Had… had he just…. Had he just told her he loved her? 

This was a Kindle Freebie that Random Number Generator pulled out of the pile and was pretty good. The female main character is the adopted daughter of a reverend and with that kind of bringing up, she had some preachy issues to work out/get over. There were a couple moments where I thought it started sounding or was on the path to being Inspirational but I think it was just the character's background. 

Had some sweet moments, some drama, and male main character who couldn't imagine he was good enough for his woman.
