Damn Jennifer, once again you stole my heart.. making me cry, laugh and want to beat the living crap out of someone!
'Stone Cold Touch,' the second book in 'The Dark Elements Series' a beautiful, creative, mind-twisting series full of surprises, drool-worthy boys and super-natural explosions. Yes that is how I am going to describe this series because.. damn!
'In other words, all she needed to do was to have an orgasm..And most likely not by herself.'
This book begins not long after 'White Hot Kiss's' final scene. Roth is still gone to the fiery pit of hell, while Layla must figure out where to go from there, also trying to work out her and Zayne's relationship.
Before I read this book I though I'd have to wait a lifetime for Roth to return, like I had to wait for Raph in 'World After' by Susan Ee, but thankfully that was not the case.
Roth showed up with his fellow demons right on the doorstep of the Warden's perfect little 'peaceful' home and it was a major showdown between Roth's men and Abbot's. Caymen stood beside the beautiful Roth and he made me laugh once again. The tension that filled the air could of been cut with a knife, but thankfully no one god injured, yet. I can safely say that tension did not leave throughout the book!
“I know exactly how he looks at you and you do, too … Because it’s the way I look at you.”
Team Zayne, or, Team Roth?
That was the question which Jennifer expected you all to answer after reading this book, and to be honest it was not a hard decision for myself (unlike Meabh!).
After reading 'White Hot Kiss' I knew Layla could only end up with one boy, and that boy was ROTH. From the very beginning he accepted Layla for all she truly was; part-demon and part-warden. But also if any of you have read the novella to this series 'Bittersweet love' than you all know Roth was keeping an eye on Layla for much longer than just those few weeks in 'White Hot kiss.' This has always told me he cared from the beginning and the words he used in this book near the end showed that.
Let's talk about Zayne for a moment, he is breathtakingly beautiful, there is no doubt about that. He's kind, sweet and apart from Dez and Nicolai he is nearly the most likable out of the Wardens. But he doesn't give Layla the same freedom Roth allows her to have, yes it could be partly because of the clan he has grown up in where they have been taught; the women stay at home in-case they get hurt; after all they are there to breed.
I don't know about the rest of you but I am beyond nervous for the final book in this series. Have I ever told you, I hate, hate, hate love triangles - they never go my way!

“I love you Layla. Do you hear me? I've loved you since the first moment I heard your voice and I will continue to love you. No matter what. I love you.”
Without a doubt this book was mesmerizing due to it's perfect writing and enchanting story. It gets 10 out of 5 from me. I would read scenes of Layla and Roth from beginning to end. But damn it Armentrout do you always have to leave us on such cliff-hangers?!
