These two were body hawt. There’s spice throughout the book. These two don’t play around.
I was so torn between supporting Victor and protecting Theo. Victor is finding himself and falling for Theo but he can’t let go of his image. Of course it’s frightening but it wasn’t fair on Theo. I’m glad he held on.
I hated some of the characters reactions to him coming out but sadly that’s the reality of things. People are so closed minded and love to judge.
Family is who loves and supports you, it’s not blood relatives. I’m goad they both have that.
I fully recommend, just maybe check your triggers.
a great, powerful read that I could not put down. Victor is so torn between what he has created in his business and who he really is and wants. Theo is a realistic character who isn't afraid to claim and work for what he wants and stand up for himself. The conflict in the story is all too real as is the reaction of some of the characters later in the story, but that's life. The book has lots of great "spice" and a wonderful, satisfying ending resolution.
DARK CRAVING by Selena Winters is what happens when one massive, emotionally repressed fighter meets one seductive chaos gremlin in black lace and suddenly heterosexuality starts buffering. This book is dark, obsessive, spicy, and emotionally messy in the most addictive way possible.
Victor spends a large portion of this story trying to convince himself he absolutely does not want Theo while simultaneously reacting to him like his entire nervous system has been hijacked. Sir, the evidence was stacking up like unpaid parking tickets. Theo, meanwhile, is confident, shameless, flirtatious, and fully aware he could ruin this man’s life with one smirk and a whispered “Daddy.” Which, to be fair, he basically does.
The chemistry between these two is unreal. Every interaction feels charged, dangerous, and slightly inappropriate in the best dark romance way. Selena Winters doesn’t ease into the tension either. She throws readers directly into obsession, dominance, possessiveness, and emotional unraveling from the start. Humanity really keeps creating giant tattooed men with communication problems and calling it romance. Fortunately for us, it works.
What surprised me most was the emotional depth beneath all the spice. Victor’s identity conflict actually feels raw and believable instead of repetitive, and Theo isn’t just seductive for the sake of shock value. Underneath the confidence, he wants to be desired openly, not hidden away. That emotional layer gave the story weight beyond…
A beautiful lo9ve story...
As a heterosexual female who loves MM dark romance, I thought this was one of the most beautiful love stories I've read in a long time. I loved Victor and Theo's story. Hot and bold and unconditional.
