In His Keeping audiobook

4 Powerful StarsIn His Keeping is the second Slow Burn novel. This time, it’s Beau’s book, another Deveraux brother. You can read the books out of order since each book focuses on different characters, but the previous characters are mentioned in the current book.The difference between In His Keeping and Keeping Me Safe is that In His Keeping has a lot more meat. Maya Banks really developed the characters and you get a ton of history, which I loved. I loved the way In His Keeping started. It starts with Arial’s parents and how they struggle with conceiving a child. I usually don’t like references towards characters that aren’t really the main characters, but I really enjoyed reading this.I felt like the beginning was setting the tone and pace of the book and it really got me worked up and ready for what’s coming next.Arial isn’t your average girl. She has telekinetic powers and she was taught at a very young age to hold back her powers. Her parents were afraid if anyone found out about Arial’s abilities, she would be taken. Years later, Arial is attacked and she indirectly used her powers to save herself. Someone filmed her and now everyone knows what she can do.Arial is in trouble and she needs help.Beau is the only man that can help herBeau is known as the brother with muscle. With a military background, he’s roughed and doesn’t have a lot of tact. He likes to stay behind the scenes and he has no interest in involving himself with a woman.Until he met pretty, gorgeous and rich Arial. People are after Arial and Beau is willing to protect her.I know I said it so many times, but I love me a damsel-in-distress storyline. I like it! I like that Arial is so sheltered and she needs someone like Beau to protect her. Don’t get me wrong, I love a strong Heroine, but there’s something really sweet and very enjoyable reading a strong Hero wanting to always be there for the girl.The thing that I really enjoy about this book is that there are a lot of elements. I love the villain. I love a really nasty villain and having an underground operation seeking Arial is something I really like reading. When I mean nasty, I mean, really really really mean and it was awesome.We do get glimpses of Zack, who will be in the next book. He isn’t a brother, but he’s a family friend and I’m very excited to read his side of the story.Overall, I’m really enjoying this suspenseful series from Maya. I feel like it has everything I’m looking for in a read with romance, a strong Hero, major character development and different storyline.An ARC was provided in exchange for a review REVIEW | AMAZON AMAZON

ARC provided by publishers in exchange for an honest review[image error] After reading Safe at Last, I knew I had to go back and read the first two books of the series. And I have to say that I love and adore In His Keeping. From the first pages to the end, I loved every moment of this book. This story had a great suspense and mystery element that surrounded the storyline and I have to say that I absolutely loved Beau and Ari's story. These were two great main characters who added depth to the story as layers of suspense, love, and family secrets are exposed and unraveled. Without giving away anything about the story, In His Keeping kept me entertained throughout the story since I instantly fell in loved with Beau and Ari. The chemistry and bond between them was so tangible and palpable that you couldn't help but fall in love with their different personalities. Ari is a heroine who showcased what it means to love, sacrifice, and fight for your love ones. If you are looking for a romantic suspense story to get lost in that deals with the importance that family doesn't necessarily means blood but LOVE then this book is for you. Be prepared to get hypnotize and spellbind in a great book.[image error]Review can also be found on Four Chicks Flipping Pages: http://fourchicksflippingpages.weebly... Maya Banks

Book two in the Slow Burn series has hit one out of the park! Honestly book one was a little meh for me, but this one: Fantastic!The little girl that was sheltered and taken care of can kick ass! After the prologue it was nonstop action at breakneck speed. Beau Devereaux didn’t know what hit him. This seemingly broken beauty walks into his shared offices asking for help and protection walks out amid gun fire and a car chase that feels snatched from the scenes of an action movie. With the added excitement of Arial’s supernatural powers…well, it’s mayhem at its finest!Just in case you haven’t read Maya Banks before, this is your warning; she is the queen of insta love. This is not a put down, it is just what she does and she does it well. Yes, it can be unbelievable; this time however, it totally works. It’s the adrenaline pumping, fast moving energy that makes 24 hours seem like a week. All in all, another great read by Maya Banks and I can’t wait for the next installment in the Slow Burn Series!T~*ARC provided by the publisher Sullivan and Partners, LLC Follow us on KT Book ReviewsTwitterFacebookPinterest

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!

I loved the first book Keep Me Safe, so I was extremely happy to get my hands on a copy of In His Keeping, I adored this book so much more than the first.From the very first page I was captivated, starting with a prologue which sets the story up and gives us a feel for the strong relationship between Arial and her parents.When Arial who is telekinetic is attacked one day, she uses her telekinesis and is unknowingly filmed using her powers and it's then that her life becomes fraught with danger, forcing her to seek out the aid of Beau Devereaux who owns a family run security firm.In amongst trying to keep Arial alive, Beau and Arial develop feelings for one another, a big case of insta- love if I've ever seen one.But besides that this was still a thoroughly intriguing and action-packed novel that was a great addition to this series.I eagerly await book three and the next couple which I believe is Zach's story.I highly recommend this series for those who like a touch of paranormal with their contemporary romances.

Ari ist im Glauben aufgewachsen, dass ihre Eltern, ihre leiblichen Eltern sind. Durch ihre Kräfte ist sie sehr behütet aufgewachsen, doch durch ein Video, das zeigt welche Fähigkeiten sie besitzt, ist die Öffentlichkeit auf sie aufmerksam geworden. Danach überschlagen sich die Ereignisse und in ihrer Not wendet sie sich an Beau Devereaux. Dieser ist fasziniert von Ari und gibt alles um sie zu schützen. Um welchen Gegner es handelt, erfahren sie schnell, doch Ari vor ihnen zu schützen, erweist sich als schwierig. Ihre leiblichen Eltern spielen in diesem Fall eine wichtige Rolle und auch Beau`s verstorbener Vater hatte seine Finger im Spiel. Arial`s Kräfte erweisen sich für sie als eine große Gefahr. Sie besitzt eine Macht, die ein lebensgefährliches Risiko in sich birgt. Aber mit Beau an ihrer Seite, der eine romantische Seite in ihr weckt, fühlt sie sich sicher und geliebt. Um welche Bedrohung es sich handelt hat mich sehr erschrocken und was sie mit Ari anstellt. Maya Banks hat einen sehr spannenden Roman mit viel erotischen Szenen geschrieben. Ich fand, dass die erotischen Handlungen sehr schön beschrieben wurden, aber auch die Spannung mich in Atem gehalten hat. Der zweite Band dieser Reihe hat mir ein wenig besser gefallen. Ich mochte Beau, der seine ruppige Art, sofort fallen lies, wenn er mit Ari zusammen war. Sie erweckt Gefühle in ihm, die er nicht kannte und er wusste, dass er diese Frau nicht mehr gehen lassen kann. Auch andere Protagonisten sind mir ans Herz gewachsen, über die ich gerne mehr erfahren möchte. Die Autorin hat mich mal wieder gut unterhalten und ich freu mich auf ihr nächstes Werk. Mein Fazit: Ich hab die Lesezeit genossen und dieses Buch in kürzester Zeit gelesen. Ein erotischer Roman, denen ich Fans diesen Genres nur empfehlen kann.

Isto foi um romance erótico com mesmo muita emoção e suspense. Ari vê-se sozinha no mundo quando os pais dela são raptados para conseguirem chegar a ela e aos seus poderes psiquicos. O único conselho que se lembra numa situação destas é ir procurar Beau. Depois disto tudo é o desenrolar de tiros, amor, sexo, raptos e objetos a voar.

Tem um enredo muito, mas mesmo muito interessante, que é usual nos livros de suspense romântico de Maya Bankas, só que perde-se muita com a lamechice da escrita, o que é uma pena. Apesar disso, dei por mim a apreciar este Salva-me mais do que esperava. Beau e Ari são tão queridos, gostei tanto da relação rápida de confiança que se desenvolveu entre ambos. Também foi emocionante a relação de Ari com os pais, muito bonito.Para mim, o melhor de tudo mesmo, acabou por ser o poder de Ari; ah super-mulher! LOLO final deixou-me a pensar. Não sei se é apenas um pormenor sem importância em que me fixei e a que a autora não deu importância ou se é ainda algo a desenvolver mais tarde. (view spoiler)[Quando Ari foi levada para o laboratório, aquele segurança a quem ela chamou de Capanga A, matou o médico/cientista e o outro segurança e disse a Ari que a pessoa para quem trabalhava a queria e pagaria bem, algo desse género e eu fiquei a pensar quem seria essa pessoa para quem ele trabalhava.

Buonasera, lettrici! Eccoci qui a parlare di “Tienimi”, secondo romanzo della serie “Slow Burn” di Maya Banks edita Harper Collins Italia.Arial Rochester ha sempre vissuto sotto l’ala protettiva dei suoi genitori, che l’hanno tenuta lontana dai riflettori per proteggerla da persone che potrebbero usarla per i suoi straordinari poteri. Ma l’attacco di uno studente vendicativo la costringerà ad usarli e qualcuno la filmerà, diffondendo la prova che lei è diversa. Ci sono segreti di cui Arial non è a conoscenza, segreti che verranno a cercarla e per catturarla rapiranno i suoi genitori. Per questo cercherà aiuto nell’Agenzia Devereaux, dove conoscerà Beau. Per Beau si tratta di un nuovo semplice incarico, ma la sua attrazione per la bella e straordinaria Arial si trasformerà in qualcosa di più, tanto da rendere la sua protezione qualcosa di personale per cui combattere a tutti i costi.Prima di tutto voglio dirvi che questo secondo romanzo mi è piaciuto molto più del primo! Arial ha il potere della telecinesi, potere che ha sin da piccola e per cui i genitori sono stati iper protettivi, tenendola al sicuro in tutti i modi possibili. Quello che non sa è che è stata adottata, in quanto i suoi genitori biologici l’hanno lasciata alla porta dei Rochester sicuri che se ne sarebbero presi cura e che l’avrebbero protetta. Questo è un segreto che verrà alla luce solo dopo il rapimento dei genitori, un segreto che nasconde una storia ancora più complicata e solo leggendo scopriremo di ogni tassello che la compone. Il romanzo inizia con un flashback, l’autrice ci fa conoscere i Rochester e vedere l’arrivo della piccola Arial, la prima manifestazione dei suoi poteri e tutto ciò che i genitori sono disposti a fare per la loro piccola. Dopo qualche capitolo siamo nel presente, Arial è cresciuta, è una donna, anche se ha vissuto sotto la protezione dei genitori ha deciso di voler esser autonoma, lavorando come insegnante in una scuola privata. Ma uno dei suoi alunni, arrabbiato per i voti ricevuti, decide di vendicarsi su di lei. Dopo tutti gli anni in cui ha cercato di sopprimere i suoi poteri, Arial è costretta ad usare il suo segreto più grande per proteggersi, scatenando così un susseguirsi di avvenimenti che la porteranno tra le braccia di Beau Devereaux. Arial è una donna che seppur ha vissuto una vita agiata e protetta, ha un gran cuore ed è molto coraggiosa. Dopo il rapimento dei genitori non si perderà d’animo e combatterà per loro e per se stessa, pian piano acquisterà più fiducia in sé e nei suoi poteri realizzando che può usarli per grandi cose, soprattutto per proteggere chi a lei è caro. Arial è anche una sognatrice con un cuore romantico, desidera trovare un amore come quello dei genitori, un amore assoluto. “Allora non credi nell’amore eterno?” “Posso solo dirti che finora non ho conosciuto nessuna che mi facesse venire voglia di vivere con lei per sempre.” Beau è il fratello più taciturno dei Devereaux, come gli altri tutti i suoi sforzi sono per la famiglia… fino ad Arial. Dal primo istante in cui vede il video della sua aggressione sente uno strano legame con la ragazza bionda che possiede il potere della telecinesi. E quando la rivedrà nella sua agenzia non può far altro che aiutarla, ma coloro che le danno la caccia sono spietati e pronti a tutto. Questo non lo spaventerà, anzi creerà un legame ancora più forte tra i due. Beau non solo la aiuterà con i suoi genitori, ma la aiuterà a trovare fiducia in se stessa e nelle sue capacità. Questo romanzo è concentrato particolarmente sull’azione che sul romance, una caratteristica che ho molto gradito. Troveremo molte scene cariche di pathos e colpi di scena, molto coinvolgenti e che ci terranno attaccati al romanzo. L’autrice in questo libro ha sorpassato quello precedente, presentandoci una protagonista capace di badare a se stessa. Credetemi apprezzerete molto alcune scene.Che dire, come sempre lo stile della Banks è inconfondibile, scorrevole e sprizzante. Quindi preparatevi a vivere una storia ricca di segreti svelati e scene movimentate.Buona lettura e ci vediamo con Zack in “Salvami”.A presto. Voto: 4

I love this series! This book, #2, was even better than #1. Ari was badass and Beau a knight in shining muscles! Great mystery :)

5 StarsI was pulled right into this story. Book is packed full of suspense and twists and turns you will not be expecting. Maya knows just how to keep you turning the pages.I would recommend reading the below story before reading this one:Keep Me Safe (Slow Burn #1)Arial has the ability to move things with her mind. She has been taught to hide her powers to keep herself safe. Her family is missing and she will do anything to get them back. If anything ever happened to her family she was told to go to Beau or Caleb Devereaux. Beau meets her and is under attack right away. He learns of her powers and wants to protect her no matter the cost. Can he protect her from the people who are after her? Or will all the digging and questions reveal secrets that were better left untold? Will she need his protection in the end or will she be to broken to survive the fight? Lots of secrets and questions are answered in this story but there are still more to be answered and can’t wait to see what Maya has in store for the rest of this series.Highly recommend this story.

The first book intrigued me enough to want more. Now I have Beau and Arial and this one turns up the psychic intensity. It turns up the volume on the depths of what is truly out there. There are rich characters and an secret society that wants to run the world. Deveraux Security has their hand full.

*4.5 stars*

The story filled up with Mystery and thrill. This can be called as a romantic thriller. A little girl is on the verge of losing her life to some attackers and she decides to fight back. Some excitement added by Ari having some super natural powers and Beau Devereaux decides to help her. The book keeping its steam all over up to the end ... Overall a nice and quick read.
