This read had me feeling a range of emotions; from heartache to anger to pride. Avery was born in the wrong body and has always identified as a male. That in itself is already hard to deal with as people and his peers are constantly giving him grief and calling him all sorts of things from freak to queer but now he also has to deal with an unforeseen tragedy that has everyone reeling.

This author's gripping tale of lost love, tragedy, bigotry and acceptance captured me from the very beginning with a beautifully written story line and characters that draw you in. As the mother of a teenager that identifies as a female I highly recommend this to everyone and thank the author for this well written book.

Out of the Dark, Alexis is fleeing a horrific tragedy after witnessing the murder of her family she leaves Seattle and relocates to New York City. Aiden Steffan just happens to be her first client and be a world-renowned male model. Even though Aiden Steffan image is everywhere is the image is everywhere. Sparks fly between Alexis and Aiden until a trip to Bahama changes everything. Alexis and Aiden's Past come to a head when the past resurfaces come to a head when the past resurfaces and he knows where and with whom Alexis is with. Arlene Gonzales does not disappoint with her steamy romance and you feel for the tragedy and pain that plague Alexis and Aiden and has you fighting for them to finally find each other in the end.

Disappointing
The synopsis of this book promised so much, but it just didn’t deliver. Ok, so the basic premise of the book was good - a heist on the moon, but the main character. Well. What can I say? He really should’ve written a Male character as the main protagonist, because I really don’t think he knows how to write women. It was cringe worthy. And when the main character of a novel is making your toes curl (and not in a good way), it doesn’t really matter what the rest of the story is like. I was so disappointed.
I did listen to this on Audible, and I have to say that the narrator (Rosario Dawson) was really good. It’s just a shame she had to read this book ??‍♀️

I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.


This is a shorter story and definitely reads like one. The author does not waste time with unnecessary character or world development, instead diving right into the story. The reader learns what they need to along the way with enough plot to keep the story interesting.

Overall, I enjoyed the story. The lead Amber, seemed to have a good head on her shoulders with brain she actually used. Jareth is your typical alpha male and I found his race more interesting than him as a character. The only part I truly did not like about this novel was their first sexual encounter. It felt more like an angry interrogation taking away from the heat of the scene.
