I have heard plenty of good things about Sibylla Matilde so when I found out about Because of Kian with such an intriguing premise I jumped at the chance to read her most recent work.  Because of Kian is a story unlike anything I have read with a hero that is sure to keep you coming back for more.The prologue was incredibly powerful and absolutely makes you ache for Brynn.  I had a feeling from the beginning that this would be intense and emotionally charged.  On some fronts I was right, the immediate connection and chemistry between Brynn and Kian was intoxicating, the steamier scenes were masterfully done, and the premise of the story was compelling.  On the other hand, both of these characters had tragic pasts that were illustrated but not really detailed and the emotion I was hoping to experience never really resonated with me.Kian was a wonderful character, a protector who teaches Brynn how to stand up for herself and a caretaker that knows exactly what Brynn needs, just how to help her, and is more than willing to provide his assistance.  Brynn was generally likeable and her story was distressing making you want to just reach out and hug her, but the back and forth with Kian was a bit aggravating especially when he was nothing but accepting, willing, and even eager to help her.Because of Kian was a good, solid, entertaining book.  I definitely enjoyed it and felt like it had tons of potential to really be great with just a little bit more insight and feeling.  I would recommend this one to anyone who is in the market for a new book boyfriend and wants a great story that is different, hot, and exciting.
