The Beginning of Knowledge: A dark and dangerous romance about love, obsession and desire Kindle Edition

by Anne Brooke (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.7 out of 5 stars 4 ratings
One highly-charged encounter will change everything Alan ever knew about himself ...

When University administrator Alan Castleton meets temporary worker and talented pianist Luke Milton, he doesn't expect to become obsessed with the handsome young blond.

But soon he is heavily involved in a passionate and angry affair, and exploring the dark shadows of his own personality in a way he's never encountered before.

The more Alan tries to break free from his obsession, the deeper it entangles him. The dangerous split between his reason and his sexual desires threatens his peace of mind and, when the crisis point comes, he must decide once and for all the kind of life he should lead.

Perfect for lovers of dark and dangerous romance.

Reviews:

"I want more. The characterisations were terrific, the chemistry perfect, the sex was dark, nasty, erotic as sin, and I LOVED it. This is one of my favourite Anne Brooke reads. I loved the dark eroticism and the excellent development of the characters. In such a short word count I felt like I knew both men well." (5 star review at On Top Down Under Reviews)

"The writing here is superb. I felt as if I knew Alan intimately only a few pages into his first person narrative because for all that he's blind to what is going on he's starkly transparent. So I commend Brooke for writing a story that is indeed knowledgeable, that is informative but at the same time seductively sexy." (4 star review at The Armchair Reader)

"A dark erotic short that isn't my usual type of read. So I started reading this with trepidation and, much to my surprise, I loved it. This is a really good story about discovery of oneself written in a very sexy way." (4 star review at World of Diversity Reviews)

    4.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting Short Story.

    Well, what to say. It was a good but slightly unsettling tale, short, blunt, and violent. The need for pain and degradation is a puzzle to me but to read about it is a little interesting, this author handled it well in the small time allowed. My main regret is the frustrating ending.
