At 25, Princess Adrianne lives a life most people would envy. Beautiful and elegant, she spends her days dabbling in charities and her nights floating from one glamorous gala to the next. But her pampered-rich-girl pose is a ruse, a carefully calculated effort to hide a dangerous truth. For 10 years Adrianne has lived for revenge. As a child, she could only watch the cruelty hidden behind the facade of her parents' fairy-tale marriage. Now she has the perfect plan to make her famous father pay.

The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot - searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.

Publisher's summary
Sex and emotions: a dangerous combination. Despite the weakness in her legs and the fear of what was yet to come, she rose to meet her Master. She knew better than to hesitate when given orders. Instinctively she dropped her chin, stealing her gaze away from his eyes and letting them rest closer to his waist.
"None of that," he said, taking her hands firmly and placing them at her sides. Then he reached down and undid the button of her jeans. He unzipped them. Alex breathed in sharply, feeling herself getting instantly excited by the brush of his hand on her stomach.
Then slowly he dropped to his knees and pulled her jeans down to her ankles. Alex closed her eyes and felt his mouth kiss her stomach and hipbones. His hands softly caressed her lower back, moving downward, tracing the lines of her hips and thighs. "Spread your legs."

Any additional comments?
I got this the day after i completed the first part as i simple could not wait any longer to find out what happened next - i was not disappointed! I was blown away *cough* by it all. Plenty of twists and turns to keep me guessing!

The PERFECT Sequel!
Would you consider the audio edition of Darkness Illuminated to be better than the print version?
I prefer audiobooks to written books because I can listen while I'm doing housework! Although, I must say that I didn't get very much housework done while listening to this. It was so gripping I had to keep sitting down to take it all in. There is so much heat and DRAMA in this sequel. I enjoyed every minute of it.
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favorite character is Francois. He's the calm and steady one who really offsets the erratic behavior of Alex and Sir. He just seems like a big teddy bear who wants the best for the couple. In a way, I think of him in almost the same position as the reader.
I also cannot get enough of Sir/Elliott... Even when he's being difficult and mean, something about him is just irresistible. He has this loving heart but he's damaged... I love each time we learn more about him and his past... and I can definitely see why Alex loves him so much.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed, I cried, I got angry, I felt joyous... you name it! It's such a gripping book, you can really get swept away with the mood of it all. Such a different take on erotic fiction... there are plenty of sexy moments, don't get me wrong, but there's also a lot of content. Alice Wright is an intelligent writer who seems to always strike the perfect balance between fantasy and reality.

This is really a superb sequel to Her Secret Submission. Thrilling, suspenseful, hot and heavy! And the ending... WOW!
I enjoyed this one even more than the first book and really cannot wait to get into the next instalment.

Gets better and better! First book ended on such a cliffhanger, i was very excited to see the next in the series being released and I was definitely not disappointed.
Such a great, well written and superbly produced series which only seems to get better and better!

Absolutely loved this!
Best erotic story I have read or heard in many many years, possibly ever. Much better than the 50 shades series.

What a tale!
It was a very good read. Even better than the first book as we got to see more of all the characters and how they developed their relationships. It was also gun to see how Elliot (Sir) evolved from a dominant master to a caring lover. All in all. I really enjoyed it. The narration was also really professional and made the story so real. Great book all round. Hopefully the author decides to add a third book.

The sequel is even better....
Any additional comments?
Very surprising! I have to admit i kinda thought i might guess what happened in the second book in this fantastic series but even i was shocked. A few twists and turns I was NOT expecting. Such a great series. SO many crap 50 shades of grey rip offs out there. But this one is different. I would say it is much better than 50 shades... to be honest.

AWESOME! Listened to part one in this series last month and really enjoyed it but i feel like this part brings it to new highs. Very very good story, kept me entertained on my commute to work for a week.

The most arousing book
Would you listen to Darkness Illuminated again? Why?
Yes I would listen to it again and again, whenever I will feel like I need some audio pleasure. Since I loved the chemistry and the arousing gestures of each and every character.
What about Amanda Hendricks’s performance did you like?
Amanda Hendricks did an excellent job at narrating Alice Wright book. Maybe she is the reason I enjoyed this book even more, All I had to do was play the book and listen her voice calmly. She narrated the story smoothly, and her voice was easy to follow as well as pretty intimidating.
Any additional comments?
I think this book should be featured, and marked the best seller. I Loved the plot of the story, the chemistry between Alice and Jackson, and Alice and Elliot, both were great. But of course Elliot, rule every character. His character was my favorite among all. The ending.. Waoow!! It was nothing like I imagined or what I was looking for, it was amazing, it changed the whole story. Recommended book!!
