Romance Erotica Sensual

KEPT by Maya Banks brings readers the story of Silas and Hayley. This is the third book in this series and quickly became my favorite so far. Silas is one of my favorite characters and I was happy to get to see him get his story told. Hayley and Silas make a wonderful couple and their story grabbed my attention from the start. Hayley is a good woman who is going through so many hardships in her life at the moment. When Silas helps her out emotions soon come into the mix. As the two begin to deal with all the problems thrown at them their feelings begin to grow. Silas is as bad as they come and I enjoyed seeing the softer side of him with Hayley.

I really enjoyed this couple and their story. Hayley is a strong character and makes a good match for Silas. Seeing their relationship work itself out through the good and the bad made for a nice read. As Hayley struggles through everything she fights for herself and never becomes a damsel in distress and when push comes to shove she is more than ready to fight for what and who she loves. Silas shows us what a good man he truly is. He has so much more to give than what he shows the world. He is a complex man with feelings and wants. As their story progressed the author brings the characters to life nicely and we get to see what is behind the faΓ§ade that they show the world. There is so much depth and emotion with Silas and Hayley. It was nice to see Silas realize his mistakes and try to rectify them. Love is hard to find and these two must fight even harder to keep it.

KEPT by MAYA BANKS is an engaging read that pulled me in right from the start and had me turning the pages to see just what would happen next for these two.

SUMMARY

From the author of MASTERED and DOMINATED comes the third of the Enforcers novels. Kept is the searing story of a woman who finds sanctuary in surrender... He can’t change who he is. A horrific childhood has made Silas the man he is today: dangerous, distrustful and demanding. He’s lived in self-imposed solitude, convinced that no woman could ever accept his need for absolute controlβ€”in business and pleasure. That is, until a young violinist walks into one of his buildings and into his life. She can’t change what she wants. Hayley has been struggling to fulfill her father’s dying wish: for her to attend a prestigious music school in New York City. But even working multiple jobs, she can’t afford the tiniest of apartments. Seeing her hopeless and near tears, Silas vows to help and protect her, no matter the cost to himself. But when Hayley meets his every demand with unwavering acceptance and love, he is overwhelmed by her goodness and gentle spirit. He knows that the dark stain on his soul can never be erasedβ€”and rather than risk destroying the most beautiful person he's ever experienced, he'll have to do the hardest thing he's ever had to do. Let her go. But he's totally unprepared for the lengths to which Hayley will go to fight for his love and for a future brighter than the sun...
