It was a beautiful story and I was captivated by the characters. I could imagine the characters in real time. Loved that it was easy read. (

I didn't love this. It's more a 2 1/2 star rounded up to a 3 star. I liked Faith and Gray as a couple, but not so much as individual people. Gray was okay, but Faith was kind of simple and weak. And some other things about the story kind of turned me off at times. But I liked the premise of the story and the way these two fell for each other. (

This is not a straightforward book - it's a bit like two books in one. I felt the only relatable and involving part came when Faith and Gray were together in the remote holiday house where she'd gone to de-stress and he followed to protect her should the bad guy find her. But that took a long time to get to - two-thirds of the book - and the detective part of the story was quite weak. But as we all agree, Maya Banks is great with steamy sex scenes, and teaching us about exploring sexuality. Faith is not able to articulate her views about sex and what she is looking for, whereas Gray even philosophises? pontificates? about sexuality in a way that is quite teacherly, but appropriate and kinda good. And he's good at reading her so she doesn't have to articulate! Perhaps all love affairs are a kind of complementarity, but these two are certainly living it. (

This book was so good. I felt it was a little predictable at times but it still caught my attention. I read the book very quickly because I couldn't put it down. I was so ready to see where everything was going. Very good story line. I appreciate the attention to detail. I felt like I was able to see everything as if I was there. (

Book description

Sometimes the first step in taking control is surrendering.

Under Faith Malone’s deceptively soft exterior lies a woman who knows exactly what she wants. A strong man who’ll take without asking—because she’s willing to give him everything...

Dallas cop Gray Montgomery is on a mission: find the guy who killed his partner—and bring him to justice. So far, he’s found a link between the killer and Faith—and if Gray has to get close to her to catch the killer, so be it.

Faith is sweet and feminine, everything Gray wants and desires in a woman, but he suspects she’s playing games. No way she would allow a man to call the shots in their relationship. Or would she?

Faith sees in Gray the strong, dominant man she needs, but he seems determined to keep her at a distance. So she takes matters into her own hands to prove to him it’s no game she’s playing. She’s willing to surrender to the right man. Gray would like to be that man. But catching his partner’s killer has to be his first priority. Until Faith is threatened and Gray realizes he will do anything to protect her.
