Book Review: Lone Survivor by Anya Summers

Crescent City Kings Book 1

She needed a fresh start…

ICU Nurse Sadie Montgomery moved to New Orleans after her entire world fell apart. The idea was borne of desperation as she sank deeper into a depression so deep and dark, she had stopped feeling. But it wasn’t until she crossed paths with Ram that she finally felt a spark of life return. The only problem is, she doesn’t want to be dependent upon anyone. The pain of losing it all is still too fresh. Not to mention, in Ram’s world, the women submit themselves body and soul.

He wasn’t looking for love…

Former Army Ranger, Ramsey O’Malley, is not looking for a long-term commitment from a woman beyond a scene or two at Club Underworld. He doesn’t have the time nor the inclination to begin something he cannot finish, not as a single dad with a thriving psychology practice. Except, he is drawn to his newest patient. She’s forbidden, like the apple in the garden of Eden, and all he wants to do it take a bite.

But they could not deny their desire…

When Sadie makes a surprise appearance at Club Underworld looking to take a walk on the wild side, Ram knows he cannot let another man have her. He wants to be the one to introduce her to submission. But can he convince her to submit? And will just one night be enough?

Publisher’s Note: This steamy contemporary romance contains elements of power exchange.

My Review:

Ummm… wow. I can’t think of anything about this book I didn’t love. Retired military hero with a serious alpha complex, broken yet still feisty heroine, and it’s set in beautiful NOLA. I loved watching Sadie and Ram find their way together. I hated when they stumbled but I adored seeing them get back up and fight their way to making something better. I’m now somewhat captivated by the other founding members of Underworld and I can’t wait to read more about them. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.
