Book Review of "Safe In His Arms" by Renee Rose

Safe In His Arms is a steaming hot novella that packs a lot of punch into what amounts to just over 100 or so pages.

Becca meets Zac over the weekend of her sister's wedding and she winds up having a weekend fling with someone she believes is a Marine.  After that steamy weekend, she finds out that Zac went off to war and was killed.  Shortly after, she finds out she's pregnant.

Fast forward seven years and we find Becca coming home from work to find her son's nanny in mortal combat with a man who is the man she believes died seven years before.

Becca finds out most of the truth, that Zac is a Black Ops agent, which means he doesn't actually exist anywhere.  But he has been watching over Becca and their son for all of these years.  Now he's back because he believes Becca and their son to be in danger.  It becomes difficult quickly for Zac to stay away from Becca and their son.  On the flip side, Becca and Zac's short-lived Dom/sub weekend are not forgotten and Becca's desires to have her Dominant man back in her life set off a lot of fires.

Overall, it's a really good little book.  If you don't mind reading sexual scenes containing BDSM, you'll probably enjoy the book.  The love story is good and it makes sense.  The decisions that Zac has to make over the course of the book and in the end are all natural and unforced.

The relationship between Zac and his son is sweet. And I like how Renee Rose writes these characters so that there is some tension between Becca and Zac when Becca is all like, "uh, excuse me, you show up after seven years and want to just be part of raising our son?"  How they work that out in the bedroom is something you just have to read for yourself.

I'm not a huge reader of Erotica but when combined with romance and when written tastefully, I do enjoy them.  The only thing I may have wanted (because I can't say I disliked it), was less of the spanking.  It seemed to get to where every sexual encounter was relentless punishment spanking and after a while it begins to feel like there's some abusiveness going on.  And it gets redundant after a while.  There is some non-consentual spanking that occurs as well and I didn't like it even though I knew prior to reading that it would be there.  Renee Rose writes it well so I was fine to just not like it and keep going.  The story around all of the spanking is why I kept reading  and why I liked the book.

If you like a good, well-written, hot, steamy, sexy, erotic story with romance and spies, you'll like this book.
