Kept Safe

I like this cover. It's a good representation of the hero. The composition is good. The typography is interesting and eye catching. I am not crazy about the “EXCEPT ME...” being so far below the rest of the byline. Personally, I would have moved it up and then moved the whole byline down a bit. All in all, though, it's a nice cover.

I feel lately like I say the same things over and over again when I review this author's books. I simply just enjoy the way she writes. This one was a little different than what we are used to with this author. No daddy kink in sight and it was a little darker in tone. I read some pretty f-cked up dark books, so for ME, this was equivalent to dipping your toe into the dark.

As always it was well written and nicely paced. It had some twists and turns and an interesting plot. It had some kinky sex scenes. There really wasn't any secondary characters of depth, but they served their purpose and moved the story along. Both main characters were likable.



The book's length is such that it falls between novella length and full length because of that I felt the characters (and the plot) were a little underdeveloped. Or rather “I” would have liked more background on both of them especially Jack. I would have also liked to have seen the plot more fleshed out as well. That said, I pretty much almost ALWAYS feel that way with shorter books especially if I am enjoying them so don't take my feeling that way as a negative reflection.

So, all in all, it was a great way to spent a couple of hours, and I really hope this author explores her dark side more often. Two thumbs up from yours truly.
