Callie Croix's Let Me In is a complex but highly sensual romance. Talia Barnett is surprised to discover her friends Angie and Liam waiting at the airport when she comes home on leave from her tour in Afghanistan. With a complicated relationship with her mother and a fear of losing the Brodie family, Talia refuses to act on her attraction to the gorgeous and oh so sexy Liam.There is a surprising amount of depth and substance to Let Me In. Ms. Croix delicately broaches a sensitive subject and handles it with ease. Talia's reactions to her mother's situation are realistic and her emotions are complicated and believable. Her reasons for keeping her family secret are understandable. Her fears of losing the Brody family's friendship, while unfounded, are quite reasonable considering her relationship with her mother.The sex scenes between Talia and Liam are quite steamy and erotic. Talia is strong and firmly in control out of bed, but she does have submissive desires in the bedroom. Liam is definitely an Alpha male, and he is the dominate sexual partner. While there are some BDSM elements to Let Me In, it is not by any means a hardcore BDSM novella.Let Me In is a wonderfully entertaining and sexy romance. The sexual chemistry between Liam and Talia is absolutely sizzling. Callie Croix beautifully wraps up this fast-paced and engaging novella with a charming epilogue that is sure to delight readers.Fans of No Holds Barred are sure to enjoy Liam's story. Although Let Me In can be read as a standalone, readers won't want to miss this fascinating and intriguing introduction to Liam Brodie.I received a complimentary copy of Let Me In from Carina Press through NetGalley.
