5 BIG stars
I love, love, love Elizabeth Varlet! Her writing style is just my favorite!
I absolutely adored Fierce & Fabulous and I couldn't wait to read the second book in this series. The waiting drove me crazy! So to say I was surprised when I received the ARC via NetGalley is an understatement.
At first I read the the first two or three free chapters on the author's page. Reading the beginning of this story made me crazy with the need to read more. The beginning of this story is HOT, with just the right amount of hotness and mystery, to make you want for more! I was dying to see how Hot Fudge will give into Azariah's beauty and sassiness.
Azariah/ Z wears the scars of his past in his soul. He wants to prove to himself that he can make his own future, he fights so bad to be independent. When he's not dancing with the Sassy Boys, he works as a waiter in a restaurant where he meets Connelly.
Connely is not so out and proud because he works in the police department. But seeing Z wearing makeup and heels makes him want to get to know him better. The attraction was HUGE and Z's smart mouth made me love this story more.
Why is this story named "DARK"? Because Z makes some rushed and painful decisions and I was afraid he'll end up hurt and broken. Unfortunately I was right. I didn't approve his behavior, but he felt he didn't have any choice.
Just like Ansel in the first book, Z doesn't believe in relationships, even he feels something powerful for Connelly. He feels he doesn't have the right to happiness and this broke my heart.
On the other hand I was surprised by Connelly's kindness. He wanted to help Z and even if he also made me SO mad at one point, by keeping Z in the darkness about the investigations, I got to accept his choices.
I am sorry only because they both fought their feeling for too long. I couldn't wait to see them give in!
I loved the dual POV and the way the author described Z's breakdown. Her talent is undeniable!
I can't wait to read more!

I don't know this author and by going from your review, I need to get acquainted. Great review by the way. x
Honey, thanks so much! I'm sorry I missed your comment. Ugh! Goodreads sometimes "forgets" to send me notifications. Hope you've read and enjoyed it too :)
Oh Lorraine, I really hope you'll give this new author a try as I fell hard for her writing style and great stories. If you like men on heels and with a lot of attitude than meet the Sassy Boyz :)
