His obsession for me is deadly, and I’m falling prey to his pleasure.
There’s never been any security in my life. After being dumped on indifferent relatives as a child, it hurt when I realized that no one was ever going to protect me.
But Cullan, my boyfriend’s father, makes me feel safer than any man I’ve ever known. He’s twice my age and totally forbidden, but his protective embraces, deep voice, and inked muscles have awoken things in me that I shouldn’t want.
When darkness swallows me, it’s Cullan who pulls me into his strong arms and leads me back into the light. He gives me protection, and a job as a nanny to his very young child. But I suspect that Cullan is drenched in his own darkness. There’s a killer on the loose in the city, and I think I know the identity of the man behind the red mask.
My instincts tell me to run from Cullan as fast as I can, but my boyfriend’s father has stolen my heart with hands that are soaked in blood.
And though it should be impossible, I think I’m having his baby.
Author’s note: Soft Tissue Damage is a standalone boyfriend’s father MF romance with dark themes, a twenty-year age gap, the hero as the other man, breeding, a jealous and possessive alphahole, and a sweet but strong virgin heroine. This book features appearances of characters from Fear Me, Love Me. The story is dark, dirty and delicious, so please read at your discretion.
This book was hot on my radar from the moment that I read the blurb. I needed it badly because it had the promise of a dark and gritty storyline that toed the line with not only the forbidden relationship between the main characters, but we also had to check our moral compass in a sense. While I was left a bit disappointed in certain things, I still liked that we were introduced to these messed up characters.
The only thing that Elena has always wanted was to be loved. Raised by two women that has a disdain for her because they had to give her the bare minimum, she knows that she's missing the warmth of being loved. Trying her best to work and keep her head down while making time for her boyfriend is not easy. But having his support and someone to call her own, means everything to her. That all changes when a 6’5 handsome older man enters her life and she discovers that he's her boyfriend's father with a deadly secret.
I was prepared for the crazy, dark and sexy for this story and even though some things were right on point, I still felt like I was missing a lot. The dark themes felt very tamed and it didn't live up to the intensity that was teasing us throughout the book. I did love the main characters as a couple and you really saw how much Cullen loved Elena and vice versa.
If you're looking for a forbidden romance with a light dark theme, you should give this one a try.
