Ex-NYPD cop Damian Stone was on the fast-track to an FBI career until a mafia ambush cost him his partner. He left the force and was recruited by an elite security team that leverages his hyper-protective instincts to protect the unprotectable--dangerous clients are Damian's bread and butter. But he never expected her. Alexa Volkov lived a privileged life-far from the messy underbelly of her father's Russian mafia. But that doesn't stop her from carrying the tattoo that makes Damian burn for revenge. As a crime boss daughter, Alexa is in a unique position to collapse the organization from the inside out. Her plan to testify against the mob patriarch puts a bounty on her head that would tempt even the most trustworthy cop-especially one hell-bent on punishing her for the sins of her father. But the safe house part of Damian's protection plan is anything but safe. In a place where alliances are not what they seem and the most dangerous heat bearing down on them is the forbidden burn o...… (mais)

Alpha Hero, Damian Stone, ex-NYPD, turned private security agent/protector in an elite security agency. His job is to protect her.

Alexa Volkov, rich, spoiled daughter of Russian Mob in US. Headstrong, knows what she wants and usually gets it. She needs protection until she can testify against her own father, putting him "safely" in prison.

Put these two together in a closed environment such as a car or sleazy motel room and sparks will fly. Whether sparks are from tempers or disguised lust depends on who's talking, where they're going, who's trying to kill her...and him.

Fast paced, plenty of action, and the bad guy was a bit of a surprise. I liked this book for the most part, but it left me wanting something, though not sure what.

There was one thing that did bother me: She was thrown against wooden boxes, heard her shoulder pop, but there was no mention of it until the next chapter...she was described as throwing herself at the Hero, and a few other moves that should have plainly hurt. Not a squeal, not even a wince, no remarks from Hero until later when he was all of a sudden careful not to jostle the shoulder?? Why wasn't he more careful a lot earlier? ( )

In a world full of violence, revenge and secrets, one woman stood up and said no more. Was it smart? No. Courageous? Yes. It also proved to be a real turn on for the one man who could destroy her unstable house of cards. I received an ARC of In Safe Hands by Leslie North in exchange for an honest review. There is lots of conflict in this story. It's hard to tell who can be trusted. You have good people making stupid decisions based on emotion and crooked ones trying to protect themselves. Alexa proved to be a tough cookie facing anger from all directions and confronting her own mortality, she still found the strength to make right the wrongs of others. Throughout the story I bounced back and forth about my feelings for Damien. He made it so hard to like him. When he finally made the choice to listen to his conscience and not be fueled by his anger he became more tolerable. In Safe Hands is a fast paced and all over the place emotional story of bravery, redemption, temptation and emotion that will have a tight hold on you until the last page. A sexy love story. 4.5 of 5 stars. ( )
