I didn't love this one. Caleb was crude and too forceful when they first met. It took me a long time to get over the way he used and abused her. He forced her to do something against her specific wishes and she was hurt very badly by it. It was disgusting and unforgivable. And though he claimed to feel guilt and remorse, he also claimed he'd do it all again if he had to. So that's the start of this relationship between Caleb and Ramie. Ramie was a mess. But she knew she was a mess. And quite frankly, I could hardly blame her for being the mess that she was. I was grateful when she decided to not be that mess of a weakling anymore, though. And I accepted her falling in love with Caleb. But then Caleb again does the unthinkable. It was just too much. I was glad this book ended. The HEA wasn't so much joy at their happy ending. It was more relief that no one else would end up saddled with them. But, I didn't hate it and I tend to enjoy books by this author, so that's why the 2 stars. I actually enjoyed Dane and Eliza, so hopefully we'll see more of them later in the series. And hopefully when next we meet Caleb and Ramie, she won't be such a mess and he won't be such a bully.

Keep Me Safe is the beginning of the Slow Burn Series. I love psychic elements in romance books, so it was a given that I would like this book at least a little. This was a very intense story. More time probably should have been spent on those parts of the story that were so intense with less time spent on dialogue which repeated things that had already been said. Aside from those issues, this was a very interesting and well-written story. I'm anxious to read In His Keeping. ( )

I listened to the audio version, narrated by Jeffrey Kaffer. I thought the narration was well done. She's psychic and being hunted by a serial killer. He hunts her down to find his sister, after the trauma that followed he vows to help her. There's a lot more to it and it had interest but I felt the 'I love you's' came to early, there wasn't enough build up for me, also the forgiveness and processing in the end didn't sit easy with me. I felt it needed more build up as well.

DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: A sizzling story of a woman who risks her life and her heart to find a wealthy man’s missing sister—the first novel in a sexy new romantic suspense series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Maya Banks
When Caleb Devereaux's younger sister is kidnapped, this scion of a powerful and wealthy family turns to an unlikely source for help: a beautiful and sensitive woman with a gift for finding answers others cannot.
While Ramie can connect to victims and locate them by feeling their pain, her ability comes with a price. Every time she uses it, it costs her a piece of herself. Helping the infuriatingly attractive and impatient Caleb successfully find his sister nearly destroys her. Even though his sexual intensity draws her like a magnet, she needs to get as far away from him as she can.
Deeply remorseful for the pain he’s caused, Caleb is determined to make things right. But just when he thinks Ramie's vanished forever, she reappears. She’s in trouble and she needs his help. Now, Caleb will do risk everything to protect her—including his heart. . . . ( )
