The Chief Financial Officer of the non-profit Cerise Thacker runs has been cooking her books. The DA fears the CFO’s deep family roots will come after Cerise, particularly after the CFO states he will “fucking see to her death.” So she’s whisked away in a Yellow Cab into a short term police protection program to keep her safe. The cabbie? Isaac Walker, undercover cop. For the duration, Isaac will be her protector, even though she doesn’t want protection.
Thing is Cerise and Isaac are not strangers. They’d shared a role play domme/sub encounter about a year earlier—neither of them revealing who they really were. Now they are thrust together in a situation of extreme danger and passion where Isaac must remain in control of the situation at all costs, even though he so very much wants to give it up to Cerise. And Cerise must do everything that Isaac says to the letter, even if she doesn't want to.
That is, if they want to get out of this thing alive.
I'm not sure HOW I feel about this book. I love a good erotic romance. I don't mind a little bondage when it fits. But I'll be honest in saying this story left me cold. Not that there was anything inappropriately raunchy (for a bondage erotic romance, that is), but there was just something I found inexplicably OFF about the whole thing. Almost as if the author was trying too hard to force a little romance into what would have been a perfectly acceptable straight erotica work.
