I felt for her character in the story since she didn’t know anyone, and it took time to get her memories back. The only person she remembered was Ethan, but she didn’t remember what happened before she was caught. She was hooked on the drugs the cartel was giving her, and she had memory lapses from what happened to her. She has PTSD after what she went through, which is expected. The Darkest Hour was one of those books my book reading friends kept telling me to read since I was having trouble getting into Maya Banks erotic romance books.įemale Protagonist : Rachel Kelly is the wife of the Male Protagonist who has been held captive for a year by the drug cartel. I’ve had The Darkest Hour on my TBR since 2011, and thanks to the #Romanceopoly2020 Challenge, I was able to read it. I’ve read a couple of Maya Banks Erotic Romance books a couple of years ago and decided it was time to try out the first book to her KGI series, which is Romantic Suspense. And even if he succeeds, he’ll have to force Rachel to recover memories she can’t and doesn’t want to relive-the minute by minute terror of her darkest hour-for their love, and their lives, may depend on it. To save her, Ethan will have to dodge bullets, cross a jungle, and risk falling captive to a deadly drug cartel that threatens his own demise. His brothers have tried to bring Ethan into the KGI fold, tried to break through the barriers he’s built around himself, but Ethan refuses to respond… until he receives anonymous information claiming Rachel is alive. Overwhelmed by grief and guilt over his failures as a husband, Ethan shuts himself off from everything and everyone. It’s been one year since ex-Navy SEAL Ethan Kelly last saw his wife Rachel alive.
