Bree Winters grew up distrusting cops and all they stood for--with only her brother to take care of her. After years of being forced to live apart, Bree moves to the small town of Mt. Eve with two goals in mind: to once again have her brother nearby and turn the dream she’s worked years to accomplish into a reality. Now with one goal met and her dream so close, she’s thrust into a situation filled with the things she hates the most…deception, lies, and cops.
Draco Vittore grew up in a life he didn’t want. At a very young age Draco discovered the true meaning of ‘bad guys’ and the type of person he didn’t want to be. Now a Virginia State police officer in their specialty unit, he’s good at two things:being a cop and picking up women—and he’s never had a problem in either department. His rules are simple—be the best damn cop he can be and never bring a woman home.
Until—a chance encounter involving a broken shower, a situation he won’t back down from, and a woman he can’t seem to forget.
When Bree's life is threatened with a fate worse than death, Draco will do anything to keep her safe. Will he cross a line he can’t come back from? Or will both of their pasts keep her from being… Safe With Him?

2.5 stars. I just did not like Draco that much. There were some funny scenes in the beginning - like his inner monologue about wanting her to leave and asking her to stay. But there was just to much deceit for me to feel good and he ending was strange. Have a conversation people! Someone, anyone! It was just a set up for a cheesy movie moment. Another Kindle Unlimited read.
A note to the Safety Gang. There was OW (actually 2 of them) the night before he met her and of course she runs into one of them later - awkward! But none after. Just icky!
Plot: B Most of the plot was just Drake and Bree's interactions and relationship development. Most of the time was spent with Drake helping out when Bree was in danger. There wasn't a lot of explanation or suspense regarding the reason for her needing protection. Most of the things were behind the scenes or implied. We did eventually find out why, but none of it was a surprise, and it was very late in the book. It was somewhat predictable, and I saw things coming from a mile away. Characters: A I really liked Bree and Drake. Bree had such a backbone! She didn't take any crap from anyone but wasn't stubborn or unreasonable. Only one mark against her when she had a tstl moment, but salvaged it and became her own hero. Drake was cool. He was smitten from the moment he met Bree. And he just wanted to do everything for her. I didn't like him calling women b*tches, but I guess that was the contrast between Bree and other women. He was a pretty awesome and protective character. Heat: C There were only a couple of descriptive scenes, and it was low based on the length of the book. And it was only mildly descriptive.
Overall, a pretty good book. I am interested in reading the first and next books in this series.
Safe With Him is the story of Draco and Bree. Draco is a cop and Kades (His Safe Keeping, Book 1) former police partner. In the beginning, I wasn't sure if I was going to like Draco very much, he isn't nice in his reference to woman and I knew that when he fell, it would be hard. LOL He quickly won me over when he meets the heroine, Bree......who by the way, hates cops. Karma? LOL ~ As I learned more about each of the characters, all of the things that I didn't understand about Draco made sense to me. And Bree, wow! That girl had been through the ringer herself. The only person she could truly trust was her brother Storm. It was intense, watching these two fall for each other. Their backgrounds, trust issues and a history for both of them made their fall even more wonderful. A good part of this book focuses on the two of them getting to know each other and falling in love. In this book we get to see Kade and Krista from book 1, along with some new characters who's stories I am anxious to read. If you are looking for a story that will keep you up late into the night, then I recommend reading the Safe Series.
Tina Bass is a new author for me. I found her first book through the Ammy romance boards and about one chapter in purchased her second book Safe With Him. It is cheesy in some places and yes it is a little insta-love-ish but I still enjoyed enough to write a review and enough to look forward to her next book. The author has skills and I look forward to watching her development. In this story the H "Draco" ( the name did throw me a bit as for the first chapter I am seeing Draco Malfoy in my head) starts out as a bit of a womanizer as soon as he meets the h "Breezie" that goes right out the window. I liked both of the MC's. The hero genuinely care about the heroine and went out of his way to make sure she felt cared for. The h was not weak and though she did chafe at being protected she didn't pull the normal tstl behavior we see so often that endangers herself and her friends. Overall a good read.
'Safe With Him' (The Safe Series Book 2) by Tina Bass is a enjoyable story. This story is packed full of action, passion, drama, romance. I enjoyed reading about Draco, 'Bree' Breezie, Storm and all the others we meet in this story. It was also nice to get to catch up with Kade, Krista, Lee and Minga that we met in 'His Safe Keeping'. Recommend to all fans of romance with some action and drama mixed in.
