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 façade 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.
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 canβt change who he is.
A horrific childhood has made Silas the man he is today:
dangerous, distrustful and demanding. Heβs lived in
self-imposed solitude, convinced that no woman could ever
accept his need for absolute controlβin business and
pleasure. That is, until a young violinist walks into one of
his buildings and into his life.
She canβt change what she wants.
Hayley has been struggling to fulfill her fatherβs dying
wish: for her to attend a prestigious music school in New
York City. But even working multiple jobs, she canβt 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 erasedβand 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...
