I totally agree with Lala-Lately, I loved “The Angel And The Assassin.”And I also agree this book is written in a totally different format. I enjoyed the whole BDSM thing going on in the Angel book.And, generally, I enjoy dipping into books regarding that topic occasionally….Just love Keegan’s work…It’s very………..Shall we say….Creative????  ;)  heheheAnywhoooo…I just didn’t get the feeling from this book that the subject was about BDSM.Yes, there were two or three scenes that included a belt, a whip- with one tail, and a set of handcuffs. But that's just too light for my definition BDSM. That’s just two people sharing a kink. There’s a difference. The scenes were just touched lightly too. By that I mean, the author didn’t really give too much detail, such as how the skin looked, or how hot it felt when done, stuff like that.There wasn’t even any blood, as in Anah’s book “Uneven.” That’s another good BDSM book, but not if you’re squeamish about blood.  : }BUT!  What was unequivocally clear in the story’s plot is that John and Sky had an “Odd Couple” relationship going on. (Remember those two roommates???  HAHAHA)And there is no denying that Fyn totally nailed the topic of food addiction and the conundrum of “comfort foods.”  (Curse you Golden Ar….um….I mean ….Junk Food!!!….GRRRRRR....shakes fist at sky….)Personally, I found the two main characters interactions endearing! This book even had me giggling in one or two places, despite its serious nature. And, since I just love to laugh, anything that makes me laugh gets an A++ rating from me!As a matter of fact, I highlighted a really good bit that I have just gotta include in this review. Just in case anyone’s curious…In this scene John and Sky are at a hotel and getting ready to go out to dinner. Poor Sky has been put on one of those infamous “lifestyle changing plans” otherwise known as …a DIET!!! So….he’s really, really hungry at this point. (If you’ve ever been though this…You KNOW what fun it is!)“With dismay Sky watched him walk into the bathroom and close the door. A shower and possibly another shave. That would take an hour at least for a man like John. Sky could shower and throw on clean clothes in seven minutes flat, especially if food was on the horizon. His belly felt like his throat had been cut. He should just go out alone and eat. He could meet John later.The bathroom door opened revealing John’s lean, muscular body, completely naked. ‘And don’t even think of going anywhere. You can wait for me.’ He closed the door.‘Are you a bloody mind reader?’ Sky said under his breath.The door opened again. ‘Yes, and I have very good hearing.’ He closed the door and then opened it again. ‘In fact you could use a shower and a change of shirt.’‘I only brought one extra. It’s for tomorrow.’ The door closed again.Sky sat down in the chair, his stomach growling. (Now he thinks I’m a dirty slob as well as a fat slob.) “So, yeah…I admit, that scene tickled me pink!  And there’s more to it too, but I don’t want to spoil it too much.  :)I do feel the need to mention that while I giggled in some parts of the book, it had a serious side too. Taboo subjects were touched upon in this book. Child beating, child molestation, rape and child prostitution, as in 6 year’s old!!Thankfully, the reader wasn’t given any gruesome details…And it’s all in retrospect.In conclusion, I just want to add that I thought these two MC’s were wonderful, and if Fyn Alexander should ever decide on a sequel, or two…or three…well…that would be just awesome!
