Elizabeth's Review
3.5 Stars
In Keep Me Safe we meet Caleb and Ramie first when he
desperately needs her help. He forces the issue, saves his sister, and
discovers that doing so costs Ramie a huge physical and emotional cost.
They come together a year later, a year that Ramie has spent
running from a bad guy that she failed to catch and who is using her physic
gift against her. Ramie is desperate and turns to the only person she can think
of, Caleb, for help.
The story that follows of Caleb and Ramie trying to stop the
bad guy is intriguing and has exciting twists and turns. I found that story
enthralling and had at least one “Oh my God, did that really just happen”
moment. That story by itself would have been a 4 star or higher story.
The romantic relationship between Caleb and Ramie fell flat
for me. It seemed believable that they would have an instant attraction
especially given Ramie’s physic gifts. Ramie feeling safe with and the calming
effect Caleb had on her even seemed believable given that he is the first person
in a long time that she can touch without being overwhelmed. What seemed odd to
me was how quickly the attraction and comfort progressed passed a sexual
relationship to love. The quick profession of love also seemed a little out of
character for the way Caleb’s character had been described.
