Lock and Key

by R.S. Grey

As a political journalist, Kate Winters is no stranger to stepping behind enemy lines. But putting her faith in the wrong informant lands her in a Kosovo jail controlled by rebel forces. She knows she’ll be tortured and beaten until they’ve asked their fill of questions… but she soon learns that it’s not the low-ranking guards she should fear the most. They’re nothing compared to their leader — dangerous, sinfully sexy, Adam.

His purpose? Extract information from her by any means necessary.

[*J* Too Many Books Too Little Time · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 Stars!

This was an iBooks freebie!

A quick little captor story....just around 50-60 pages.

Not a lot of story or character development. A bit of insta-lust. Some good steam though.

Would love to see R.S. Grey write a full story along these lines!

Overall, a decent read....and a smoking hot cover!

Bring on.....

De la autora haber querido, habría sido una historia larga estupenda, pero decidió hacerla corta y dejarme con la miel en los labios. Justo cuando empezaba a ponerse súper interesante va y pone FIN. Así no puede una, que conste que me imaginaba lo de Adam, era un poco predecible.

Well, first off. I was craving something dark. I didn’t want to read something fluffy. But I decided to read The Duet, and I was changing editions when I came across this little gem. I started reading reviews when I saw that it was a freebie three years ago on IBooks. So I looked, saw it was $.99 and hit buy.

So.
Glad.
I.
Did.

This was short, wayyy too short, around 50 pages, and I wanted MORE.

It was exactly what I was craving.

Rachel has proved, yet again, that I cannot be let down by her.


PLEASE.

I WANT MORE ADAM AND KATE.

I WANT MOOOORE!!!!

I generally don't pick up or buy a book if it's less than 300 pages, 200 if it's an e-book. I know that either it will be rushed or just not good, or it'll be good but I'll want more. Generally, it's the first option. 58 pages felt really too short but hey, it's R.S. Grey!!!

So, yes, it was kind of rushed, it's the story of a journalist who's been kidnapped and beaten and then she meets her captor and he's sexy and whatevs...I feel like if it was me, I'd need at least 60 pages or so just to be able to look at him in the eyes. She just needed 2 pages!

Well, I love R.S. Grey and her writing enough to get passed that. And despite of that, the rest of the story didn't really felt rushed. Yup, there was lots of sex on those 58 pages, but the rest of it was nice and of course...I want to know what happen between them next!!!!

PS: There's no cliffhanger or anything like that, it's just me liking two characters and not wanting to say goodbye!

This novella began as a dark read (caution) but had a really happy & satisfying ending. I really enjoyed it and will read it again. A quick read. I have also read scoring wilder and behind his lens by this author. Which are stand alone full length books. All three of these books are completely different from each other and I loved them all.

I really liked this it's a shame it was a short story because it could have been a great full length novel. Some parts did feel rushed and the bond had grown too quickly but that's because it was a short story. So for what it was it was good but I'd definitely read it if R.S. Grey did decide to turn this into a longer novel.

Super duper fast. Pretty hot.

Es en serio? El tipo va y le suelta la sopa quesi dos dias despues de conocerse? Si todos los agentes fueran así, la CIA estaría fracasada. Jajaja.

Debería dejar de leer esta clase de libros que no se si me perturban o me entretienen, yo creo que ambas y para las pocas paginas que son realmente no importa que tan cutres lleguen a ser aun así son curiosos de leer.

Parece más que una historia corta, la precuela de una buena historia.
Siento que no hay mucho para reseñar porque no pasa mucho. Repito: es como si fuera la precuela: the best is yet to come :p

Corta pero muy intensa.

Diría que entre 2.5 y 3

[Amanda (Fandomly Bookish) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Whoa, that was surely a fast and uber hot read! I wish Lock and Key wasn't a short story, though. Because I would've love to get to know the characters more and learn about their lives. Especially with that ending, I WANT MORE! Haha! <3

Rating: 3.5 stars

[Doris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dark, violent but still very hot and extremly sexy ;) ...and too short! But I loved the ending!

Each of your books is different from each other, but Rachel, I'll read everything you write, because I ♥ them all! :) ♥

P.S. I know what you meant about your family ;)

Demasiado corto!!!! Me hubiera gustado un libro más largo! A pesar de esto me ha gustado mucho, aunque era un poco previsible... muy hot para sus pocas páginas.
Lo recomiendo para cualquiera que no quiera una lectura pesada y solo busque algo bueno para pasar un ratito

Perfect example of a nice, sexy and hot story in a few pages!

This is so good. I just hope this story is a novel not a short story.
