Defying Him

 
 
~WRITING - PLOT - PACE~
I must say I am enjoying the books this author has been putting out. They are quick super sexy reads. The writing in this one was very well done. The pace was perfect. Like I mentioned it is a fairly quick read, but the story was quite well developed despite the short number of pages. The plot was engaging and kept me turning the pages. The mystery aspect was OK. I figured out who the baddie was right from the start but that didn't take away any of my enjoyment. Last, it was all wrapped up in a sweet ending.


~HERO~
MICHAEL...I loved him. He was smokin' hot. He was super alpha. He knew his way around a belt. He was commanding. He wanted Phoebe right from the start. He did have a bit of a shit for brains moment near the end that had me wondering about his intelligence there was a murderer on the loose. A murderer who was specifically after Phoebe. Why in the world would you leave her tied up to your bed alone??!! I mean HELLO?! Had this dude NEVER seen a horror movie before?? (lol).


~HEROINE~
PHOEBE...She was an equally enjoyable character. She was smart. She was feisty. She was all about Michael's brand of kink. Yea, nothing much more to say about her. She was a good heroine.

“That's it, baby, come for me. Come for your commander.”


~SECONDARY CHARACTERS~
This one is super light on secondary characters. There are a few here and there that help move the story along but the story is mostly focused on the hero and heroine.


~HEAT LEVEL~
Medium. Depends on what type of books you read regularly. I felt this one was maybe a bit less steamy than a few of this author's other books. That said, we still get some hot sex scenes. Spanking (hand and belt). Rough sex. The couple had good on page chemistry.


~ANGST LEVEL~
Low. As in there was basically none (IMO). There is a murder targeting Phoebe. So that adds a bit of angst. And Phoebe isn't the best at following Michael's directions. There was no OW or OM drama and neither characters sexual past is mentioned at all.


~IN THE END~
I enjoyed this one a lot. This author has quickly become a MUST READ for me. Good writing. Sexy plots. Likable characters. It was a great way to spend a couple hours. Therefore yours truly is giving this one two thumbs up.
