In his critically acclaimed novel Under Heaven, Guy Gavriel Kay told a vivid and powerful story inspired by China's Tang Dynasty. Now, the international bestselling and multiple award-winning author revisits that invented setting four centuries later - a world inspired this time by the glittering, decadent Song Dynasty.Ren Daiyan was still just a boy when he took the lives of seven men while guarding an imperial magistrate of Kitai. That moment on a lonely road changed his life-in entirely unexpected ways, sending him into the forests of Kitai among the outlaws. From there he emerges years later-and his life changes again, dramatically, as he circles towards the court and emperor, while war approaches Kitai from the north.Lin Shan is the daughter of a scholar, his beloved only child. Educated by him in ways young women never are, gifted as a songwriter and calligrapher, she finds herself living a life suspended between two worlds. Her intelligence captivates an emperor-and alienates women at the court. But when her father's life is endangered by the savage politics of the day, Shan must act in ways no woman ever has.In an empire divided by bitter factions circling an exquisitely cultured emperor who loves his gardens and his art far more than the burdens of governing, dramatic events on the northern steppe alter the balance of power in the world, leading to events no one could have foretold, under the river of stars.

She was the light to Caden's darkness and had been since they'd been trapped in that elevator. If anyone could take some of the weight off his shoulders, if anyone could make it easier for him to breathe, it would be her.

I still remember how much I enjoyed “Hearts in Darkness” the first installment in the series.

It’s hard to see the light when history has put blinkers on you.
Do you sometimes get bubbles of emotions that boil up inside when reading a book? I do. I’m one of those crazy chicks that read a book and cry in the emotional bits. Doesn't matter if I’m happy or I’m sad, my eyes leak. In Love in the Light, the bubbles were popping all over the place. Some of them were the happy bubbles that leave you with a goofy grin on your face. Then there’s the sexy bubbles, where you squirm at the feeling as

Two hearts in the darkness…
Must fight for love in the light…

Hearts in Darkness is one of my favorite favorite novellas even to this day. I read it years ago when it just came out and yet it's still a book I recommend to any reader that's looking for a quick read that not only packs on the steam, but has an amazing story to tie it all together. In just 112 pages, Laura Kaye managed to get a loyal fan out of me. I've been hoping that she would write more for this couple, so to say I w

I read Hearts in Darkness back in August 2012, a short little novel about a man and a woman who get stuck in a lift together and do naughty things in the dark. It was a fabulous little read and ended with both characters deciding to meet up and get to know each other a little bit more. Almost 4 years later and we finally get the sequel that we have been waiting for, and I for one was thrilled to hear this news.

Aww, so sweet. I love Caden so much, I just wanted to hug him. And you know, this book really gave me the feels, which is impressive for a novella. I thought his depression was well written, and pretty realistic. I think most fans of the first book will love this, I really do.
So, Laura Kaye is writing an MC series called Ride Hard, huh? hmmm. My br friends would probably faint if I actually read a biker book!

“Aw, Red. I still love that elevator, too.”
Hearts in darkness is easily one of my favourites. It’s a story of two strangers trapped in a pitch dark elevator for hours, during the course of time they form a strong connection and the story ended on a note of them being together. With the underlying theme of ‘love finds its way through the dark’, HID was rather a thoughtful and seemingly beautiful love story. And now in this sequel we see their struggle to keep the relationship from

I was a little anxious going into this one. Some reviews indicated this book might not live up to the hype. Understandable, since I personally have waited 3 years to get this story & I know many people waited much longer than that.
But my fears were dashed. I really adored this sweet story. Getting to know Caden and McKenna better solidified my original feeling of love for this couple.
I'm completely satisfied with this book. In fact I'd venture as far as to say .. I actually enjoyed this o

Shortly after joining Goodreads back in 2012, I came across a novella called 'Hearts in Darkness'. I honestly don't remember if someone suggested I read it or if I saw the hot cover and bought but it doesn't matter .. I fell head over heels in love with Makenna and Caden. I think I reread it 3 or 4 times since. My most recent reread was just a couple of weeks ago in preparation for 'Love in the Light' release and I am happy to report that my feelings for this couple haven't changed one bit!

I'd say this was more a 3.5 star book for me but Im generous like that so I decided to round up. Anyways there was some storylines I could have done without but nothing that bugged me too much.
What mattered to me the most was how connected I felt to these characters. Caden almost made me tear up a time or two. I know, shocking right?! Anyways this was a good follow up to book 1 and I'm happy we got to read about them being a couple.

This book has been a long time coming. As book one was exceptional to most of us I think are expectations are extremely high. This is the continuation of Makenna and Cayden’s love. It is set two months later after they meet in the elevator.
Makenna and Cayden are going strong and as a couple I loved them together. Makenna is so very understanding. I would have liked her to at least flip a bit. But then again towards Cayden that would have been the wrong thing

They'd met after spending a night trapped in a pitch-black elevator together, and their bond had been fast and deep-- built on conversation that had revealed how much they had in common and a physical attraction that transcended appearances. If there'd ever been a silver lining around an otherwise bad situation, it had been having the freedom the darkness allowed to get to know him. And for him to get to know her.

THAT IS WHY I LOVED 'HEARTS IN DARKNESS' and that elevator!

So glad the author gave this to her readers.
No stupid drama, just a really good romance story, great characters and intense chemistry.

Love in the Light is book 2 of Laura Kaye's Hearts in Darkness series. This is the conclusion to Caden's and Makenna's story. The story is sweet, beautifully written and sexy/steamy.
The second book begins two months after Caden and Makenna meet in the darkness of a stuck elevator. Caden and Makenna have taken their relationship to the next level and are almost living together. Both are deeply in love with each other, (they don't admit it yet). It's Thanksgiving and Makenna brings Caden home to

What a fantastic sequel to Hearts in Darkness! I don't remember much from the first book (I read it about six years ago), but that didn't matter one bit because in less than a chapter everything came rushing back to me.

Two months after their meeting in ‘that elevator’ Makenna and Caden are living in loved up bliss. That is, until a visit to Makennas family over thanksgiving causes Caden’s tensions to flare and when his first meeting of her family doesn’t go smoothly he doubts that he could ever be good enough for Makenna. What starts as doubt soon turns into a downward spiral into depression that gets more and more difficult to get out of.
