This was a re-read for me and I loved it as much as the first time I read it. Hearts in Darkness is intense, thoughtful and beautifully put together story in a little package. I have only read one other short story that left me so thoroughly entertained.
Makenna had a rough day that got even worse when her phone broke and she realised that the battery had fallen out. Caden, had just signed the final papers after his Dad had passed. He holds the lift for her. He noticed her beautiful red hair and she noticed a sexy tattoo. That was all...and then there was darkness.
Their time together in the lift gives them the opportunity to know each other without the pressures and judgments based on looks. Both are concerned that something in their looks would put the other off. How amazing that they were given this opportunity. Unfortunately as a society, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves and others based purely on looks. This book took that away. Lucky for them, they liked the packaging too.
This was a very HOT read and left me with a big smile on my face. This is a perfect example of what a short story should be.
