Book Review: Restrained Under His Duty by Stacey Kennedy

As the chief of security for a prominent senator, Ryder Blackwood is stunned when an anonymous source sends him a compromising photo of his boss’s twenty-five-year-old daughter getting down and dirty in an underground sex club. If it gets out, the media firestorm could ruin her father. More troubling for Ryder is how arousing he finds the whole situation. He’s known Hadley Winters since she was a kid. And now she’s the woman in all his most private fantasies.

Wild behavior helps Hadley get through those painful, lonely nights, but she’s been waiting a long time for a man like Ryder to protect her from herself. Ryder is raw. He’s real. And he makes her feel safe. Now that they’ve both become pawns in a blackmailer’s dangerous game, there’s more at stake than her father’s political career. As the intimate threats tear apart a tender new love, Hadley is forced to trust Ryder with her life—and her heart.

Restrained Under His Duty is the third book in the Dirty Little Secrets series.  It is by far my favorite in the series. Stacey Kennedy is one of my go to authors. She writes sexy stories with alpha males and strong heroines. This story has both. There’s also plenty of intrigue, suspense and heated moments.

Ryder Blackwood, sex club owner, Dominants’ Counsel member is the chief of security for Senator Gary Winters. Hadley Winters, daughter of Senator Gary Winters, has been interested in Ryder since she was a little girl. When he rejects her yet again she lets loose. Now Hadley Winters needs Ryder’s help with finding her blackmailer but can Ryder keep his feeling in check in order to keep her and her father safe?

This book! The suspense kept me on edge.  The characters flaws gave them depth. Plus, there’s finally a breakthrough in the ongoing story line that has plagued the Dominants’ Counsel. I can’t wait for the next book. 5 Stars!
