My first memory was of a slap, hard across the face: the sting on my cheek and the jarring of my bones as I slammed back into my bed. It was my dad who had hit me.I had been four.Most of my memories were much of the same and no one ever saw, no one ever fought to help, no one ever cared.Then we moved.My new neighbor cared, rescued the twelve-year-old I had been from a beating. Always thought I'd suffer the nightmare alone, I was wrong.Mace Donati saved me that day in all the ways a person could be saved.And his daughter, Mia, she became the friend I had always wanted, my conscience when my own faltered, the light that led me home when I had lost my way.The girl who grew into the only woman I would ever love.But when you realize you're more like your father than the good people who took you in and gave you a home, the only way to return their kindness is to let them go.I let them go, got so far lost in the shadows I couldn't remember who I was anymore. Mia never gave up on me. She fought for me, kept the light on so I'd find my way back.And when I did, life threw us a curveball. I had to hurt Mia in order to save her.But when my past comes back to haunt me and I almost lose her, I'm ready to fight for her...fight to find a way back into her heart while keeping the demons from my past from finishing what they started.Cole Campbell… (plus d'informations)

Thank you NetGalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

12 years Cole Campbell is constantly tortured and thrashed by his father.
7 years old Mia Donati is cherished and loved by her father and aunt.
One day Mia’s father will save Cole from his father and the lives of all of them will be changed forever.

This is my first book by L.A. Fiore and I enjoyed every bit of it, I actually fell in love with the book. I liked that Mia didn’t want to give up on Cole no matter what he did or told her. I was impressed that Cole had strength to keep himself away from Mia and not drag her into his darkness.
This book is not an easy reading, it is heartbreaking, intense and it will make you suffer along with the characters. It touches upon very serious problems and L.A. Fiore handled them well.
This was a really great reading with the most unexpected ending ever.
I strongly advise you to get yourself a copy of this book – you won’t be disappointed! But don’t forget about handkerchiefs – some scenes will make you cry.

His Light in the Dark is the story of Mia and Cole. It's a story that spans decades starting with their childhoods growing up next door to each other. Mia has a loving father, Cole is brutally abused by his father. One day Mia's father, Mace, intervenes and Cole has the chance to experience what supportive family life can be like, if only for a while. I don't want to rehash the entire story and spoil it, but to summarize there's a lot of drama, angst and heart break, including police investigations, betrayals, corruption, deaths and all along the slowly simmering romance between Mia and Cole.
I loved L.A. Fiore's Beautifully Damaged books, so I can't help but compare them with this latest release, and unfortunately, His Light in The Dark did not fully meet my expectations.
The story was simply too drawn out. I actually got bored just under halfway through. It had a fantastic premise to make a thrilling book, but it was just too slow for me. That's where it lost one star. And then the ending! So we all love a HEA, but this went over the top big time. It needs to have a speck of realism at least, even if this is fiction. That's why it lost another star.
Nevertheless, I will continue reading books by this author because her other books had me truly gripped, but this just wasn't for me.
I received an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )
