Synopsis (Goodreads):

A cursed goblin sorcerer. The human female he’s waited an eternity for. A secret that could tear them apart.

A quaint cottage in a Scottish forest seemed the perfect place for Kinsley to start anew. But when a tragic accident leaves her isolated and dying, her new life is over before ever beginning.

Until a dark, mysterious being emerges from the night gloom and offers to save her—for a price.

With no other choice but death, she accepts. She awakens to find herself bound to an ancient, powerful goblin who is equally terrifying and intriguing. He’s terse, demanding, brooding.

Despite that, Kinsley is drawn to him, captivated by his sinful crimson eyes, craving his every wicked touch.

But what will happen when he discovers the truth? What will happen when he learns that Kinsley cannot fulfill their pact?

What will happen if she lets this goblin claim her heart along with her freedom?

Thoughts on His Darkest Desire: It's been a while since I read book 1 in this series (in fact, it wasn't even a series at the point I read it) and HOO-BOY do I remember how much I like these dark, dangerous supernatural men and the women who fall hard for them.

This time around we have Vex and Kinsey. He's a sorcerer with maybe a little bit of baggage and a a curse that keeps his tethered to his realm. She's a (mostly) human lady who ends up in his world after a harrowing accident and gets a crash course in the supernatural world. Vex is high-handed, arrogant, and kind of a jerk when Kinsey first meets him. Honestly, that's to be expected given that he hasn't had much interaction with any being other than his Wisps for along, long time.

What I'm saying is that Vex and Kinsey get off to a bit of a rocky start.

That said, Vex isn't totally heartless. He's sharp and powerful and dangerous, but he listens and soon he's worming his way into Kinsey's affections. As it turns out, she's digging into his, as well.

Curses, a dark past, danger, magic, a goblin with a chip on his shoulder, and a lady who isn't about to give up on the male who captured her heart. *thumbs up*
