#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.

In His Keeping is the second book in the "Slow Burn" series. I was so nervous to read this one, because I struggled so much with the first book. I really was so intrigued by this one here. I am so happy that I read this one in audio and I think I will plan on doing the whole series like that. I was so addicted to this book. Its not super common where I just want to stop everything and just sit back with an audiobook haha I love audiobooks but they normally don't gravitate me like this. I do think listening to this too fast will ruin it for you, I don't recommend going faster than 1.5x. 

I found In His Keeping to be such an amazing read. It was super addictive, great sense of found family, a sexy alpha protective male and a sweet endearing heroine. I just love this heroine because she ends up being a badass when the people she loves are put in danger. I think she will be one of my faves for the year. I really enjoyed the plot, it just kept me on edge so much. And it turned out to be something so different than what I expected. Maya Banks really kept me on my toes with this one. The romance itself, is more of a instant love but I really adored it. I really felt that deep connection and it just ended up working out so well for me and I just didn't want this book to end. 

Overall I found In His Keeping to be such a vibrant sexy read that Maya Banks delivers all the way!

In His Keeping was the second book in the Slow Burn series. It was very similar to the first book in that it contained psychic elements which I enjoy in a romance book. Some of the scenes in this book were a bit melodramatic and far-fetched, but that was to be expected when the female protagonist, Ali, had the power of telekinesis. Beau, the male protagonist, was a typically romantic alpha hero. There wasn't really a single antagonist - just a mysterious organization that was using adoption as an excuse to do experimental fetus research. Despite these issues I liked the book overall and am looking forward to Safe at Last.

I read the first book in this series and well it was ok but I decided to give this one a try too and I am happy I did because this one is much better than Keep Me Safe and now I can't wait to read Safe At Last which comes out in April. 

This book is well written there was good character development. I couldn't and didn't want to put it down. I liked that there is lots of action in this book. 


I want to mention that you can read this as a stand alone.

I give In His Keeping 4 out of 5.
