"Safe Word" by Teresa Mummert



Started May 27, 2013 - Ended May 27, 2013

This book was NOT what I was expecting. I've been reading teasers, and snippets for weeks. Anxiously awaiting the release of this book on June 1, I was so psyched when she decided to release it an entire week early. Squee!

From Amazon:A chance meeting with a stranger can turn your entire world upside down.

When Colton 'Colt' Bishop enters a bar in New York City, he has a plan. His job is to find an easy target and take her back to his place for a few days. He is working his way up the crime ladder doing a job he never wanted.

Lily Hilton has it all, but is hiding from a troublesome past. When she enters a bar downtown, and runs into her old high school crush, her entire world is turned upside down. She is determined to make him notice her, but that plan may work better than she expects. Colton does not hesitate to take Lily home and use her as his new pawn, but their past begins to catch up with them as their secrets unravel and he must decide what is more important to him, protecting Lily or himself.


I can't lie. I was a little disappointed. Based on everything I read on Facebook, the direction this novel went in was not what I assumed. I'm still not sure if I "loved" the book the way I was hoping, but it didn't stop me from enjoying Cole and Lily's story. Because it's a self-published work, I was a tad distracted by a handful of errors throughout, but was still able to follow the storyline without issue. Altogether I give "Safe Word" a B+.
