The story starts off with a nice bit of kinky sex, and then quickly turns into a suspenseful and exciting romance. I enjoyed spending time with them as they got to know each other and their relationship progressed. I appreciated the realistic ending as it related to both the suspense and the romance.

BLURB

With his fauxhawk, sleeve tattoos, and visible piercings, Ridley Corbin has the whole badass vibe going on in spades. The image serves him well as the self-proclaimed protector of the underdog, and he wants nothing more than to be Alex Firestone’s hero.

Alex, a mild-mannered library assistant, has moved to Slater, a quiet college town, hoping to hide from his past. He keeps to himself, but that doesn’t save him from catching the unwanted attention of the campus bully. But not all is as it seems. Alex’s past comes calling, and it’s time he becomes top dog.
