This romantic suspense story is about a "never do wrong" politician's daughter who basically goes off the wagon and when she decides to let her hair down gets kidnapped. Well, she thinks it's a kidnapping thanks to erroneous information. It really is an attempt to keep her safe until they learn the identity of who wants her dead. The sadistic brains behind this is someone close to home (trying very hard not to spoil the story). I gave it 3 stars because of the kinky parts of the story which I suspect would rival that of 50 Shades of Gray (which I didn't read as I'm just not into that). I did like trying to figure out who was responsible but would have been much happier with less of the graphic sex orgy scenes. The title and cover of this book are very deceiving ... this is a great thriller! Okay, I guess it could easily fall into the romantic thriller genre, but the thriller part is much better than most classified as such. There is romance, and family drama in more than one family; there is sex, and while some of it is not of the consenting kind, and quite a bit of it of rather strange kinds, none of it is overly graphic. In other words if you are seeking smut, this isn't the book for you. On the other hand, if you are seeking a thriller, with romance and plenty of humor, pick it up immediately.The Governor's oldest daughter has taken over First Lady duties after her mother's death. Basically she is the epitome of a goody two shoes, but decides to sneak away for a weekend away from all the eyes at the governor's mansion, not knowing that her life is in danger. Through some twisted communication, the former seal hired to protect her has been given orders to make her think she has been kidnapped.There are really no dull moments in this one, and some fantastically written characters. One of the bad guys becomes obvious pretty early one, but trust me you will be surprised as the story goes on, and the threats become more chilling, just who all is involved in the conspiracy.I would have to say my favorite genre is thrillers, especially psychological thrillers, but that being said, romances are definitely a very slightly guilty pleasure and at times I end up reading more of those than anything else when I'm in a mood. This book brought them both together better than most any other I can think of, certainly moreso than any in recent memory.I found this as an Amazon freebie, and after having been burned on a number of those, this one reminded me why I continue to add them to my reading list. There are some fantastic gems out there!
What do You think about The Naughty Never Die (2013)?
This was not bad for a free book from Amazon. Probably will try some more of her books.
