Captured Innocence (CSA Case Files 1)

I really enjoyed this book. Both characters had their flaws to overcome and the book ended gracefully. The sidebar stories kept me guessing until the end which peaked my interest. Looking forward to the next book.

Story about CSA Crest Security Agency getting a murder case to investigate as instigated by a friend of Crest, the owner, as his friend was implicated in the murder of his wife and sought out Crest's help in clearing him. One of the lead investigators was Connor Ortega who followed the trail towards needing information from one of the vendors of the BDSM club where the person killed often played. That led him to Lauren Bailey, owner of Incandesce, who was a vendor at the club displaying different jewelry items for BDSM play the night of the murder and was it was thought she may have sold something special the murderer had used the night of the murder. Connor is intensely attracted to Lauren and can't seem to keep away from her. This was a really interesting murder plot as there were many other individuals that it could have been and kept you waiting until very close to the end to put it together who it was. Problems in Connor's past and also in Lauren's also made for very interesting happenings with their relationship. Enjoyable read.

Another "Fifty Shades" wannabe. Soft porn disguised as a Mystery. The mystery part of the book was well written and interesting, but the Bondage and S&M was laughable. Almost like the book was written by two different people.

Kennedy Layne weaves an all-encompassing story with characters who jump off the page and feel real. They are not perfect, but then again, no one is. The sex is hot. If you're looking for a book with a beginning, middle, and end, look no further than Captured Innocence...and then patiently wait for the next book that deals with a different character.

First off, you need to read the warning mentioned on each of these books. The BDSM is mild but very explicit so you've been warned.

Crest Security is an agency run by a former Marine who hired only the best of the best. But its when a submissive who's well known by not only the owner but Jax and Connor ends up dead that starts the wild ride to the very last page. Lauren, who owns a adult toy company, who has a clue to the murderer if she can only remember it. So hang on folks because there several bumpy and wild ride before the murderer is reveal and Connor and Lauren fall in love.
