Review

Primal (Overwatch #1)

by Sasha White

 

Primal by Sasha White

BDSM club owner Adam Kessler is no one’s hero. He joined the army to get away from the gang-life that had taken his brother, only to come home to heartache. He doesn’t hide his dominant side, and he doesn’t hesitate in his need to protect or enforce his particular brand of retribution on those who’ve earned it. There’s no way in hell he could walk past a man hassling a woman in an empty parking lot and do nothing. Only when the confrontation is over and the voluptuous blonde turns eyes filled with desire to him, does Adam realize he’s in trouble.
Psychologist Olivia Lang grew up with the proverbial silver spoon, and has never regretted spending more time on her career than on romance, until she meets Adam Kessler. He’s dark, he’s dangerous, and he’s deliciously dominant… and she wants him.

Passion burns quick and hot between them and soon they’re caught up in an intensely carnal relationship that neither can deny. But when Olivia’s life is threatened and Adam shows her just how dangerous he can be, will it be too much for the civilized psychologist to handle, or will she truly accept the man and win her hero’s heart?

"East L.A. is where you are from, Adam.  Not who you are.  Just like Beverly Hills is where I'm from, not who I am.  Don't you dare judge ether of us by that.  It's only ridiculous, it's stupid, and you are not a stupid man."
-Sasha White, Primal 

Our first impression of Adam is of an avenger.  We meet Adam again several years later rescuing Dr. Olivia Lang.  Adam and Olivia have an instant connection.  Although Adam feels he's "trash from East L.A.", Olivia feels otherwise.  Olivia is in her mid-forties and hadn't found love.  However "Being with Adam tore her inhibitions away, turning her into a shameless animal, with his satisfaction and pleasure the only goal."  She also feels like a cougar because of their age difference.

However Adam had hiding a secret from Olivia and after an incident with one Olivia's patients he decides to reveal the truth to Olivia. Will Olivia accept Adam's secret? Adam and Olivia's relationship felt rushed.  They met, felt mutual attraction, trusted each other and Adam shared his secret.  It seemed too easy.  I liked the premise but needed more character development.
