Title: Empathy
Author: Ker Dukey
Genre: Dark Romance/Erotic Suspense
Blake:
I am a brother
I am a police detective
I am a contract killer
I don’t want to love
I don’t want to feel
I don’t want … EMPATHY.
They say some people are born with decreased activity in the front central lobe causing them a deficiency in empathy. Maybe that’s true about me but whether I was born this way or created in a moment of evil, empathy was something I didn’t possess until her green eyes met mine in the mirror and I couldn’t take her life.
I didn’t want to feel, didn’t want this woman in my life complicating how I lived but she was there at every turn. Sent to haunt me for my sins. Her light so bright she provoked a shadow from everyone she touched. When a job turns bad quickly altering my life forever I’m forced to feel. When nothing is making sense I’m forced to face truths I never would recover from. When life drowns you in its cruelty you don’t know which way the current will drag you or who you’ll become once you re-surface.
Melody:
I was a daughter
I was a student
I was a victim
Did I have his love?
Did I make him feel?
Did I have his empathy?
When the actions of a soulless killer forces sorrow into my veins I never dreamed the man healing my wounds would be the one to leave the worst scar. His love would scar my soul. Scars are permanent; I will never feel the relief from them. Will I learn to live with them, remember why I have them and learn never to let him close enough to inflict more? Will I eventually cover them… like tattoos coating them with new memories, new love and new starts? I didn’t know these answers because the pain was too suffocating, the only thing I knew was they will always be under the surface lingering. He had scars too, from his sins. There is nothing that can cover them, they were too deep, too ugly, too dark and they marked us both forever.
REVIEW BY MAZZY BOSS LADY
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
**** I received this arc in exchange for an honest review ****
OMG this book is a serious head f**k, I loved reading it, it's one of those books that has you stuck right to the very end.
Blake sexy Blake, a police detective, contact killer and a devoted brother to Ryan. He is cold hearted, does not feel remorse and doesn't care about anything but his brother Ryan until he meets Melody.
The sweet sweet Melody such a tragic event, she just wants to get lost. She's friends with Ryan, and literary bumps into Blake.
The chemistry in this book is so hot, the sex is sizzling.
I really didn't see the story turning out the way it did.
Ker Dukey I must say that this is one of the best books that I have read, it's incredible.
It has everything you can want from a read, from twists, emotional, sizzling sex, sexy men, deragement and very very dark.
Seriously you have to read this.
