Locked (Alpha Group, #1)

[Cocktails and Books]

"I loved this book. I really loved it, and I know it’s the first of a trilogy and I’m anxiously awaiting the next book. Sebastian Lock and Sophia Pearce are some of my new favorite characters.

I’m not always a fan of first person stories in erotic romance stories, but Sophia is such a fun character. I loved being in her head. Her thoughts and the way she’s a daredevil at times, she’s someone I would love to go to bar with. She’s adventurous, fun, and just the lady that everyone needs as a best friend. The way she didn’t immediately fall at Sebastian’s feet even though she was very turned on and wanted him badly was a great change from a lot of other books.

With the way we spend the book in Sophia’s head we don’t know that much about Sebastian except through her eyes. He’s gorgeous, mysterious, charming and very much in control. I liked him, and his pursuit of Sophia.

I did almost throw my Nook at the end of the book, but that’s because Ms. Cross ended it perfectly to have me screaming for the next book. I definitely commend her for her superb writing skills, she drew me in and involved me into the characters’ lives and I’m looking forward to the next two books and the conclusion of this trilogy. I think this is a great story for BDSM story fans that also love spunky heroines and mysterious heroes.
