Maya Banks exceeds her reputation with her novel IN HIS
KEEPING giving her
readers all the mouth watering suspense as well as romance
that they can
consume. Written as the second book from her latest
series, Slow Burn, one
can still easily follow the lives of the Devereauxs and
the complex complications
they seem to face with the women they are meant to save.
With such a hard book
to put down I found myself racing to get home to read a
few more chapters
before bed, making the last few chapters an "up at all
hours of the night type of
read," just to finish it. Warning: once you finish IN HIS
KEEPING, it leaves you wanting more!
Ariel is a young woman who was raised by caring, loving,
parents that
would stop at nothing to keep her safe. With a father who
takes extreme
measures, Ariel grows to find this part of her normal life
because of her abilities.
But is there more to her abilities than what she is told?
A chain of events leave
her wondering this as well as leading her to the
protection of Devereaux Security
and the door of Beau Devereaux. At the same time, Beau
finds his attraction to
his new client as unexpected as her showing up asking for
him by name.
Ariel is one of those main characters that you love
because she doesn't
really show the kind of weakness most leading female
characters usually
possesses. Instead, she starts out unsure of herself but
then portrays herself as a
woman who will stop at nothing to protect and save the
ones that she loves. This
is what I love about her. Even when Beau becomes her
protector, she still has
those strong qualities about her. IN HIS KEEPING written
by Maya Banks will sure
to be a must for any Banks' fans new and old alike.
#1 bestselling author Maya Banks continues her suspenseful and steamy Slow Burn series with this second book—a twisting tale featuring a strong yet vulnerable heroine in danger and the sexy alpha hero who must save her.
Abandoned as a baby to a young wealthy couple and raised in a world of privilege, Arial has no hint of her past or who she belonged to. Her only link lies in the one thing that sets her apart from everyone else—telekinetic powers. Protected by her adoptive parents and hidden from the public to keep her gift secret, Ari is raised in the lap of luxury, and isolation. That is, until someone begins threatening her life.
Beau Devereaux is no stranger to the strange. As the head of Deveraux Security, he’s more than familiar with the realities of physic powers. So when a family friend approaches him about protecting his daughter, he’s more than ready to jump on board. What Beau isn’t prepared for is the extent of his attraction to his beautiful and powerful client. What began as a simple assignment, just another job, quickly turns personal as Beau discovers he’ll do anything at all to protect Ari. Even if it costs him his life.
