Kept by Jami Alden
(Gemini Men #2)
This was a very enjoyable romantic suspense novel. While working security at a big society shindig, Derek Taggart meets Alyssa Miles. He doesn't not recognize her as the infamous party girl whose picture frequently appears in the celebrity magazines. Alyssa is attracted to Derek right off the bat but when she realizes he doesn't know who she is, he becomes irresistible. She is tempted to do what she hasn't done in months -- throw caution to the wind and indulge in a one night stand. Three weeks later, Alyssa's world has undergone a huge change ande her uncle decides she needs a bodyguard/babysitter and who should he hire but Derek Taggart.
I have not mentioned the suspense part of this romantic suspense book, not because it is insignificant. The author does a great job of integrating the suspense into the romance. Alyssa is in danger, the danger is real and makes sense in the story and with these characters.
This was a fast read with likeable characters who truly care for each other. This is a new author for me. I will be sure to hunt down Jami Alden's backlist and look forward to her future books.
Grade: B+
