BOOK SUMMARY
#1
bestselling author Maya Banks continues her suspenseful and steamy Slow Burn
trilogy 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.

EXCERPT
He would have laughed at the idea of fate and soul mates. The
professor of his Human Resources and Development class had once said that the
concept of there only being one person out there for you was utterly false.
That you could fall in love - and love - many different people in your life.
He’d believed the exact same thing until one day a beautiful
chestnut-headed, brown-eyed, adorably shy woman had walked into his life and
his existence had been irrevocably changed. He’d known since the very first
time she’d shyly accepted a dinner
invitation with him that he was already in so deep that he had
no hope of ever finding his way out. He hadn’t wanted to.
Gavin was a man who was decisive, could handle any issue flung
his way. He had the total package, or so women liked to tell him. Good-looking,
charismatic, dark and brooding and wealthy. He was no naïve fool. The last
attribute was his most com- pelling one. The women he’d
been with hadn’t likely given thought to anything
beyond the tag that was solidly fixed on his
forehead.
Billionaire.
He’d actually laid eyes on Ginger the very first time, ironically,
when he’d been out with another woman. He’d had his entire evening planned, in
fact. Nice dinner, intimate atmosphere, flirt with his date, whose name
completely escaped him now, and then go back to her place to have sex before
returning to his own apartment.
No one came to his home or invaded his private sanctuary. Sex
was always at his date’s place or in a hotel, and he always left afterward. To
some women that made him a cold bastard, but he was hardly hypocrite enough to
indulge in post coital cuddle when he’d made it clear that there would be no
emotional entanglements.
He hadn’t stayed when he’d dropped his date off, much to her
disappointment. His mind had been too occupied with the sweet, smiling
waitress with big brown shy eyes who blushed when he stared at her for too long.
He wasn’t normally so ill-mannered or lacking in social graces,
but he’d been captivated by her from the moment he’d laid eyes on her, and
so the next night, he’d gone back to the restaurant. Alone. He’d made certain
he was seated in her section of tables and he’d proceeded to be the most
demanding of customers, commanding her attention every few minutes for some
trumped-up need.
It had taken three agonizingly long weeks before he’d been able
to talk her into going out with him to dinner. Three weeks of self-induced
celibacy because he’d known that she would be the last woman in his bed
forever, so he hadn’t minded the wait.
It had then taken him six more months of dating before he took
things further than heated good-night kisses and feeling the warmth of her soft
body against his while he held her.
It had been the best six months of his life.
The night he’d finally taken her to bed and very gently made her
his, he’d proposed and she’d cried all over him.
It had taken him three more months of her practically living
with him to talk her into accepting his marriage proposal, but once he’d gained
her acceptance, his patience had fled. He’d hustled her in front of a judge at
the very first opportunity and had claimed her for all time.
After a blissful year of having her entirely to himself—and he
was extremely possessive and selfish of his time with her— she’d begun talking
about having his child. He hadn’t thought he could be happier than he was, but
then he’d begun imagining sweet little girls who looked just like their mama
and he’d been determined to fill their home with a dozen if that was what she
wanted.
And that was where they’d hit a brick wall.
CAT'S REVIEW
"In His Keeping" by Maya Banks. This is the second book of the Slow Burn series and is the story of Beau and Arial. (although reading the first, "Keep Me Safe" isn't necessary recommended). Ms. Banks has written another suspenseful, action packed romance book. Beau, a security expert, is tough and rugged and my type of Hero. Arial is young and sheltered. Despite being a bit immature, she is kind and loves her parents more than words can say and will do anything to help them. Her relationship with Beau moves at lightning speed, which happens often in romances. That was a bit hard for me to grasp - I would have liked to have seen it progress a bit more slowly. But, even so, I liked the connection the two had. "In HIs Keeping" is filled with suspense and action, darkness and light and even a touch of humor here and there. It has it all - the really mean villain, the sexy and take no prisoners Hero and the heroine that is strong but still needs her man to help her survive. If you enjoy suspenseful romance with a bit of psychic abilities thrown in, don't miss this one! (Received copy for honest review)
