The Raw Touch by Serena Akeroyd

   A Dark Romance!

First I must warn you that there are some potential disturbing scenes with dubious consent that may be offensive to the reader so please be warned before you buy this book.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.   Our heroine in this book by Serena Akeroyd is not the least bit like I expected.  Lucia is a very damaged soul who is a cop. She has been undercover and she is really good at what she does. But when she comes back to ‘normal’ policing, she doesn’t feel ‘right’. What she doesn’t know is that the Mob Boss, Martinez, has been watching her for some years now and he’s waiting for the moment to claim her as he wants her despite knowing that she’s a cop.  What he doesn’t realise is that Lucia can’t bear to be touched due to what happened to her many years ago that some women wouldn’t have survived.  When Martinez makes a ‘deal’ with her what will the implications be? She has handed over the evidence that got his brother slammed in prison. What will the rest of the gang think of his now being with her?  How many lives will it effect? Do they stand a chance or is there all too much going against them? To find out you need to grab yourself a copy as it was compulsive reading for me.  It is a very emotional story that will pull at your heart strings.  This is the first time that I’ve read anything by Serena but it will most certainly not be the last. This book is powerful and the author has such a fantastic command of the English language and has used it here  to create atmosphere and some exceptional characters in this dark romance.
