Review:
Angie and Colt finally find their way into one
another’s arms and the story is everything I’d hoped it would be. For anyone
that has been a fan of this series since it branched off the HOT series you have been watching with baited breath for Angie to finally get
over her trauma and let Colt into her heart. Ms. Harris has such skill of bringing
these truly unreal characters down to earth and making us love them, while
leaving a bit of mystery and fun for us to experience as we truly get to know
them. This story picks up right where the second in the series left off, with
Angie finding herself in a bit of trouble and in need of her new friends’ help,
despite her dedication to never finding herself in danger again. Colt has been waiting for a chance to get
closer to Angie, but he never wanted to see her in any danger that’s for
sure. When she comes to him with suspicions
about her work, he knows that he needs to investigate further so that he can
reassure himself – and her – that she is truly safe. Things start to heat up for
them, but danger is just around the corner too and only with the help of
Black’s Bandits will Colt be able to save the woman he loves. I am dying for what comes next in this series
for sure and cannot wait for whoever falls in love next, but the biggest story
of all will be what comes next for Ian and Natasha, because I can already
tell that is going to be a seriously interesting
story to read.
Black Out lets
readers get into the minds and hearts of two individuals that are used to
living life alone, even when they are dependent on others at times, because
they never truly give their full trust to those around them anymore. Angie was burned badly by the man she thought
she was building a life with and since then has only found bad luck with the
opposite sex, until Colton Duchaine strolls into her life. He truly terrifies
her because she knows that if she opens her heart, he will have the power to destroy
her once and for all. I loved getting to
know Angie and see her come out of her shell, especially in quiet moments with
Colt, as she begins to understand that offering her trust and ultimately her
heart to Colt makes her strong not weak.
She finds her backbone and learns that she is a match for him and that
making him her own is the only way she will ever truly be whole and happy in
her life. Colton has his own reasons for
his solitary life, secrets he is keeping from even his closest friends, but
Angie draws him like no woman before her and there is no resisting her anymore.
Watching him fall under her spell and seeing how he treated her like a princess, reminds me that there are in fact men out there that will put the needs and
wants of their woman first in life.
Sometimes it’s not even the big things that matter, but the little
things like caring for us when we are ill or just telling us that we are
perfect the way we are, and Colt understands the power of that and gives it to
Angie at every turn. While he is
certainly a badass in all the best ways and alpha to the core when it comes to protecting
his woman and getting shit done, he shows his love and caring and is not afraid
for others to see his devotion and love for his woman. There is definitely heat
and passion but my favorite moments between Angie and Colt were when they were
just together and quiet in their love and devotion. I want a love like theirs
for myself someday for sure. This story hits all the right notes with love,
sweetness, action, drama, and a plot with enough twists to keep you wondering
until the end. I am looking forward to
more in their series as well as the two HOT series currently underway. If you aren’t a devoted Harris reader yet,
Angie and Colt's story just might make you one!
