Killer Curves by Naima Simone – a Review

Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / BAM

Description:
She’ll lead him right into temptation…

Lately, things have been a little weird for Sloane Barrett—late night crank calls, disturbing images inher inbox, her tires slashed. She tries not to let it bother her. She tries to pretend everything is ok. Then someone breaks into her house and attacks her…and Sloane realizes she needs professional help. Tall, gorgeous and overwhelmingly intense help.

But Sloane knows all too well just how much trouble intense guys can be.

Security Specialist Ciaran Ross’s priority is to ensure Sloane is safe. His gut tells him she’s in danger, but his feelings for her are pulling his focus. Ciaran has already made the mistake of falling for a client, and the results were disastrous. He won’t risk it again. He can’t. But running from love is the surest way to get Sloane killed.

Review:

In Killer Curves by Naima Simone, Sloane Barrett fought with every ounce of her being to not to give into Ciaran.  And the fact that she was a full bodied woman made the story even more fulfilling.  She was real. 

Ciaran – well…. Lets just say – I loved him from the moment he stormed onto the page.  Tough, brash, rough exterior with an overwhelming, caring, loving heart on the inside.  He is loyal to his own and will not back down from anyone. And the way that he evolves right along with Sloane is beautiful.  The relationship between the two of them was wonderfully written, beautifully portrayed and perfectly executed and delicious in every single minute way!  

I would like to point out that I have never in my life disliked a character as much as I did Sloane’s ex fiancé Phillip.  From the moment he slithered onto the scene I wanted to punch him.

He was vile, rude and downright evil.  And I thought for sure he had something to do with what was going on with Sloane.  In the end I am glad everyone in her family saw him for the man he was.

I would also like to mention that this book could read as a stand alone – but why would you do that when the first book is just a wonderfully delicious as the second.

The fast paced mystery/story line intrigued me, left me wanting to know who was after Sloane and why. I read from start to finish in one evening. Not wanting to put it down, not wanting to miss a single thing. In the end the realization of who was after her and why was gut wrenchingly sad.  Understandable and yet sad.
