BECAUSE OF KIAN by Sibylla Matilde is a story I thoroughly enjoyed. It is full of suspense, just with the right amount of drama and a fair share of scorching hot sex scenes with a touch of kink. Ooohh, and let’s not forget that awesome playlist Sibylla provided along with the book! Each chapter starts off with two or three different songs that fit the storyline incredibly good – and the song selection itself… let’s just say it is downright my taste of music: 30 Seconds to Mars (fans self) and so, so many more! I’ll definitely create a playlist for my iPod according to that list!Now to the story: Brynn is new to town, escaping an abusive boyfriend and leaving everything and everyone else behind, including all of her friends and her family. She is very much living the life of a loner now. Trying not to suspend herself completely from society, she goes to the local club Hyper regularly. But even there she keeps to herself: Coming alone – drinking alone – dancing alone and eventually leaving alone.That’s when she catches Kian’s interest. Lucky for her, because one night after exiting the bar Kian comes to her rescue as Evan, her ex, attacks her. Having a strong desire to protect her, Kian offers Brynn to teach her self-defense in private lessons. Brynn accepts – after mulling it over for a while. She quickly realizes that she feels save with Kian and soon they start to build a friendship, despite the chemistry that shimmers between them from the very beginning. But Brynn thinks she is too messed up inside, too broken and her cravings too dark and twisted that no man could ever really love her. Even worse, she thinks she will corrupt and ruin him – it’s not like had not happened before. Can Kian show her that he is not like her ex-boyfriend? Can he give Brynn what she needs even when she is not aware of it herself? And, most important, can Brynn accept that there is nothing wrong with her at all?Kian… well, Kian is absolutely swoon-worthy and has the potential to become the girls’ favorite book boyfriend very fast. He is tender, caring and protective, yet all scorching hot alpha male – and his skills in bed are most definitely off the beaten track! Speaking of his biases in bed – and the therapeutic effects it has on Brynn… wow, I so was not prepared for this and I absolutely loved it! He likes to take control and gives Brynn exactly what she needs – without her even having the slightest clue that this is what she needs. Yes, Kian is special and let’s just say should I ever come across a purple rope, my mind will immediately will drift off to this book!While I absolutely adored Kian, I wished there had been more details about him and his past. How did he choose this lifestyle for example? Likewise I felt with Brynn: I would have loved to get more details about her relationship with Evan, why was she so scared to escape to another city, cutting all connections? I really did love the storyline; I felt for Brynn and swooned over Kian all along, I also enjoyed watching them build a relationship, growing and learning together and loved the steamy and unexpected sex, but, still, I felt that there was some depth missing that would have made me rate this book as a 5*. But that should not keep anyone from reading it, not at all!In fact, Sibylla Matilde is one of the few authors whose books I read without knowing anything about the synopsis. So, yes, BECAUSE OF KIAN is different than her previous books, but a wonderful and emotional romance all the same!It is a beautifully written story about recovery, trust and love. A book about a tortured heroine who is saved by her knight in shining armor – or rather her smokin’ hot and a little kink-loving biker.Pick it up, you won’t be sorry!
