He asked for hope, and to his horror, all the hope in the world is given into his keeping. He desires nothing more than to return this gift to the world.

My thoughts on Luka by Dianne Hartsock
This book opens with trigger warnings. Heed them.
The basic storyline is intriguing. I did feel a bit like I was dropped into the story midstream. The world-building could use more details.
That said, once I became more accustomed to the writer’s style and pace, I began to invest more in the story.
The M/M romantic story was enthusiastically told. Relationships were the heart of Luka, Rhys, Raven, Tarion.
Diverse characters and unique settings are the staples of this story.
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.

About Dianne Hartsock
Dianne Hartsock is the author of m/m romance, paranormal suspense, fantasy adventure, the occasional thriller, and anything else that comes to mind.
She lives in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon with her incredibly patient husband, who puts up with the endless hours she spends hunched over the keyboard letting her characters play. She says Oregon’s raindrops are the perfect setting in which to write. There’s something about being cooped up in the house with a fire crackling on the hearth and a cup of hot coffee warming her hands, which kindles her imagination.
Currently, Dianne works as a floral designer in a locally-owned gift shop. Which is the perfect job for her. When not writing, she can express herself through the rich colors and textures of flowers and foliage.
