Carnal Obsession: His Heart's Prisoner

By Reily Garrett

Synopsis

Life on the street molds emotional athletes.

Three years ago, her brother’s death marked the beginning of Kendra’s new life, an existence with no home, no family, and no friends. Time in the underground byways toughened her emotional shell with the loose association of like-minded street rats where survival meant compromise and constant vigilance.

Before he died, Billy had sent her a package in care of his teammate, Conner. For Kendra, re-entrance into polite society comes with a deadly price, as betrayal comes from both sides of the grave.

Conner Crofton owns the BDSM club Ambrosia. After failing to protect his teammate on their last covert mission, penance takes form as a promise to safeguard Billy’s little sister, a girl he’d unknowingly remanded to a world of darkness and uncertainty, deception and psychopathic stalkers.

The past will always haunt us. Each must earn forgiveness and trust as passion, guilt, deception, and betrayal, interweave a destiny formed long ago. A romantic suspense with a twist.

Review

Carnal Obsession: His Heart’s Prisoner is Connor’s and Kendra’s story. Conner’s a protective man who sees Kendra in a sisterly way. Kendra is a tough girl who had to grow up quick and always had a crush on Conner. Because of the murder of Kendra’s brother she lost touch with everyone she knew.

Connor has a lot to make up for. He didn’t realize that Kendra had gone missing. He thought that she moved with her parents. If he had known that she was living on the streets he would have started looking for her much sooner. Connor always felt a sisterly bond with Kendra because of the age difference he never considered her more than that.

Kendra who is now grown and hardened up by the streets is trying to show Connor that she is not longer his best friend’s little sister. She is now a woman who has always had a crush on him. It’s just convincing Connor that he is allowed to feel more than just brotherly love for her.

Then there is they mystery of Kendra’s brother death and why he left her the package. This package put her in a dangerous situation which Connor must protect her from. This has put everyone on high alert, including Connor’s brothers.

Carnal Obsession: His Heart’s Prisoner is a completely addictive read. It, like the other novels in this series, had great pacing and a great story line. I loved his brothers, they provided some very humous moments. And it also had a mystery to figure out. I also loved that Connor had a inner dilemma that he had to work through and Kendra had to find her way back into the world again.
