Review: Black Cat Security

Black Cat Security by Katerina Ross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Sneakily sexy, BLACK CAT SECURITY catches a reader off guard in a most pleasant manner. After whipping through this book, all a reader can ask is, where is the rest of this series? Full disclosure, I didn't read the blurb for the book. The cover of the book also flew past me. The title of the book caught my attention and I thought, why not? I figured this book would be some magic thrown into a possible romantic suspense. Boy, was I ever wrong.

This tale grabs me by the short hairs from the first page and takes me along for an erotic ride. The richness of the story as the characters' past unfolds is impressive for such a short book. Dragomir is an angry magician who ended up on a mission he should not have been on and is collateral damage. Learning about how he's been treated by those who trained him enraged me. I can see why Dragomir is bitter and looking at just surviving, not living. His ideals have been ripped from him and stomped into the ground. So when he meets Ida, a "lowly" witch compared to his idea of how magic revolves around mages, he is not at his best.

I loved Ida. Her dominance through sweet pain to bring Dragomir willingly to his knees is awe-inspiring. I want to be like Ida. She's smart, resourceful and innovative. Her perspective of life and how to come at a problem is unique and how she treats Dragomir's curse is certainly unconventional. Without becoming a BDSM book, Ms. Ross easily slides into femdom in a positive light with an alpha male grudgingly yielding.

This short story is intensely amusing with its character dialogue and erotic scenes. The story does move in a fast pace and still packs a punch through its concise editing. This paranormal erotic is a gem I hope more readers can pick up and read. This erotic romance is highly recommended to kinky readers who enjoy alpha males and subtly stronger females.
