#1 bestselling author Maya Banks continues
her suspenseful and steamy Slow Burn series with this second book—a
twisting tale featuring a strong yet vulnerable heroine in danger and
the sexy alpha hero who must save her.
Abandoned as a baby to a young wealthy couple and raised in a world of privilege, Arial has no hint of her past or who she belonged to. Her only link lies in the one thing that sets her apart from everyone else—telekinetic powers. Protected by her adoptive parents and hidden from the public to keep her gift secret, Ari is raised in the lap of luxury, and isolation. That is, until someone begins threatening her life.
Beau Devereaux is no stranger to the strange. As the head of Deveraux Security, he’s more than familiar with the realities of physic powers. So when a family friend approaches him about protecting his daughter, he’s more than ready to jump on board. What Beau isn’t prepared for is the extent of his attraction to his beautiful and powerful client. What began as a simple assignment, just another job, quickly turns personal as Beau discovers he’ll do anything at all to protect Ari. Even if it costs him his life.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for a review.
I have to say that I wasn't sure if this was going to be something that I enjoyed or not. While I love romance, I am not huge into suspense novels. It is one of those things that I have to be in the mood for. That being said, I really did like this book.
Ari is a girl with a secret. It has been one that she has had all of her life. When it comes out into the open, she has no choice but to run to the man that her father told her to, Beau.
I like Beau. I think he was a good guy who has the luck to be attracted to a woman that is gifted.
The story was well-written and there was good character development. This is the second in the series but I think you could read it as a stand alone.
Now, that being said I do think there were times when the dialogue was a little dry and repetitive but that happens. I am also a little tired of the instant love scenarios. I completely understand being attracted to someone but it seems like everyone is instantly jumping into bed, saying I love you or just things that seem a little outside of reality. I know its a romance book but still...
I am a fan of Maya Banks and I would recommend you check out the series and let me know what you think.
