REVIEW: Officer Zaria Fuentes is unsure why her partner Drew Grissom has suddenly become overprotective, even shielding her from a potential perp's unwanted advances. But when guarding her body leads to passion under the covers, Zaria and Drew must confront their true feelings for each other.
Ms. Savoy introduces two strong-headed characters. Zaria is a beautiful woman in
a dominant man’s field working as a cop. Sometimes she’s treated as though she
needs someone to watch out for her. She on the other hand feels otherwise. She’s
confident, forceful and demands respect. Her personal life is nonexistence and
she could care less at this point. She’s always been close with her friend and
co-worker Drew Grissom. Lately he’s changed on her and she can’t understand why
and frankly is running scared.
Drew Grissom is a stubborn man that once he makes up his mind to do something or
protect something like Zaria; there’s no turning back. He’s known for awhile
that he has strong feelings for her but; he doubts the feelings are the same for
him. So he puts on his aggressive and controlling badge and takes matters into
his own hands. Don’t you just love man that takes charge like that? Drew is a
nice looking man with potential and any woman would find him attractive. He
doesn’t take orders to well though; but this makes his character exciting. I
enjoyed both characters immensely.
The plot was interesting, but if I had anything negative to say it would be that
it moved a bit slow in the beginning and finally picked up toward the middle.
From there on it was good and I enjoyed it. The main characters were realistic
and brought some good action to the storyline.
Overall, FORBIDDEN GAMES
was a good read and I would recommend it.
