Independence
Angel
It was the night after Thanksgiving and people were unwinding from the overwhelming food rush of the day before. The club, Independence, was slowly filling up with noise and the scents of arousal.
Colin, a prosecuting attorney for the city of Tacoma, hadn’t expected to find anything more than a distraction from a series of cases that had brought far too much attention to the city. Bad cops, a highly sought after madam with a black book hot enough to sear the devil himself and then a mall shooter who had attempted suicide, but failed.
He hadn’t expected to find an Angel at the club.
But neither of them would ever be the same again.

About the author
Karen Nichols
140 books62 followersI like writing. I don't have a magic place where the stories or people arrive, other then when I'm asleep, they appear, like movies. Some are simple romances; some involve a messed up family life; some involve outside influences and business and still others might trail along the paranormal or BDSM path.
You just never know.
I'm sorry the covers don't appear here and I'm trying to figure out how to make them show with the titles.
Otherwise, they are on Allromanceebooks.com; smashwords, amazon.com & Nook - they were on bookstrand, but we won't vent on that topic at the moment.
On Allromanceebooks, you can read the 1st chapter of each.
For the people who enjoy my writing and read the stories:
Circle of Friends is the mildest of my stories. There is less harsh swearing or harsh use of words with regards to sex. There is sex - but it's not as graphic.
WindSwept Narrows: Does have more harsh swear words and more graphic language, both during sex and just in life. It's a more honest depiction of reality, I think.
The 'regular' shifter stories - graphic and fun.
The Menage stories - please...they are graphic. Period.
Independence: Again...it's BDSM based and quite graphic.

The story line is good Angel & Colin meet at a bdsm club that he helped found. She is completely adverse to touch because of an outrageously terrible upbringing that is still haunting her. Colin is able to recognize that in her and break through it.
Now the not so happy stuff. Throughout the book you are constantly on edge thinking ok is this when the other shoe is going to drop. Of course it does eventually which I would have been disappointed if it did not. However, being on constant edge was tiring. For example explaining who's hands were touching her right away so each time you didn't suspect an awful event was coming would have been preferable.
There was also some switching back between character povs & they were not always clear. There was a space between paragraphs but that wasn't easy to follow. I'm certain at about 75% the pov gets screwed up and here is no gap in the writing. This killed an entire page forcing me to try & figure out who is saying what.
Then there are the many times throughout I got confused "now how did they get there?" unfortunately the end was extremely bad in this department & very rushed.
The characters had lots of interesting aspects to them. I realize this is the second book of the series but there are a few characters that we're expected to know everything about. I know reading the first book would have been preferable but in the absence of the a little description is always helpful.
I'm very torn because I like the story line but the writing just got to me over time & kinda pushed me over the edge at the end. I'm going to leave to have to give it a 3 :(
