Dark Ink: A second-chance romantic suspense (Dark Things Book 2) Kindle Edition

3.9 out of 5 stars 26 ratings

Koschei Bessmertnyi is a folk tale. But deep in the Russian tundra, he was real. It was only when we moved to Chicago that I learned the bitter truth – he was only a human, and I was part of a cult.
So I burned it to the ground, survived, and joined a gang.
Then I fell in love. With an arsonist – how poetic is that?
Ben made my heart flutter, until he broke it to pieces. When I needed him most, he disappeared.
Now, I’m over him. He’s part of another gang, and I’m thriving.
Thriving, until Koschei lives up to his name and rears his ugly head again. The cult is alive and well, waiting for me with open arms. Ben is on the case, trying to destroy it for good. It will get him killed.
They promise me family. Ben promises me love. I’m forced to choose, but I’ve been betrayed before.
Time to pave my own way. Family, love, and vengeance.
I will have it all, on my terms.

Dark Ink is a dark romantic suspense. It has a HEA, no cliffhanger, no cheating. It’s a second-chance romance with a warning for strong language, descriptions of psychological trauma and violence.

Get lost in Chicago’s hidden underworld… Lethal secrets. Forbidden passion. Life-altering truths. Once you’ve seen it all, you won’t ever turn back.

    Book 2 is about Tanya and her dark past. Ben shows up with a piece of her past and wants to help her work through it. She's determined to not get close to anyone again, but will she let them in? These books are very well written and engaging.

    This is my second book I’ve read of Lainey and am still looking forward to reading more in this series. She creates characters that are strong and amazing. They come from dark pasts and struggle to face and deal with their pasts that continue to haunt them.

    And Tanya’s story is no different. But an ex from her past comes to help her. Ben and Tanya’s story is an emotional and dark one but also very amazing because as they confronted the nightmares of their past they were able to move on and heal not just from the cult and the dangers it brought them but also between the two of them. They had amazing chemistry and intense steamy moments!! It was really great to read. Definitely can’t wait to read the next book. A must read for sure!!

    This series of stand alones are phenomenal! I was totally floored when Tanya was literally in a cult but not only that she was a product of really bad things. Her upbringing was a nightmare her getting out of it was a dream. Yet she had to go back and settle the score she had with her relative . With help from the arcana and her ex lover Ben … well you will find out once you pick up this awesome book. I can’t wait for the next book .

    I was so excited to read Tanya's story-- it is a wild ride! This is the story of her past colliding with her present and the action and suspense kept me turning the pages and just-one-more-chaptering until way past my bedtime.

    Tanya has worked so hard to escape her past, and now she must confront it. I LOVED this story. I always wondered what happened to Tanya in the other stories, and now... wow. That's all I can say. This book has so much raw emotion coming from so many angles. It is amazing! The way the author weaves the characters and story line together keeps you guessing and rooting for them to have their aha moments! Great read!

    This one confused me a couple times. I stuck with it though because Lainey Delaroque is a wonderful writer and I knew I would at least strongly like it. I enjoyed the crossover from the first book. Even though there are three stand alone books I'm reading the complete collection right now so I enjoy knowing what's going on with the characters I already love. Tanya and Ben are great characters.
    Lots of read the trigger spots, lots of steamy spots, lots of love. Great read

    I love this series it just gets better and better. The characters all have some flaws and have been through some trauma that they are all working through watching each and of them go through the motions while also being there for one another is fantastic and I can’t wait for the next book!!

    In Dark Ink, Ben is an explosive expert who meets Tanya after being sent to monitor a club. Tanya is a survivor who lives, not really living. After a misunderstanding in the past, Tanya is mad at Ben, forcing him to try to make it up to her.
    Ok, so Tanya might be one of my favorites of all time, even if I hated (sad hate, not bad writing hate) her backstory and had to take a few days and a few books before I could do so. Ben is her personal savior even though she has to save him and controls their relationship, something I love about this story. Something that gets on my nerves is when a man shows up and saves the day and the woman is either on the sidelines or helps a little. This one is the opposite of that. I do wish I got to see some pegging;)
    I highly recommend for those that like this genre

    Another good read in this crazy world Lainey has created. These characters are introduced in the Club Lavender duet which you don't have to read but I recommend you do because its awesome. This is quite a wild ride but what I enjoyed was how Ben wasn't your typical tough guy but quite realistic. I enjoyed these characters and the story.
