Description from the publisher:

Amy Markevich nurses fantasies about dominant agent Jordan Monaghan, but she knows they’ll never come true. He’s younger, to-die-for handsome, and so very different from her. She settles for friendship and dreaming from afar, even when he agrees to show her the platonic side of submission.

Jordan has always known what he wanted, and as he gets to know Amy, he’s convinced that she’s the complete package. Her sexy curves and passionate nature contrast sharply with her childlike innocence and exuberant joie de vivre. She calls to him—body and soul.

Just as he’s about to reveal that he’s a Daddy Dom and that he suspects Amy harbors an inner “little” and a submissive side, Amy witnesses a gruesome murder, and a terrorist organization puts her on top of their most-wanted list.

As they are forced to run for their lives from this unexpected enemy, Jordan helps Amy to accept her true nature—as a little—and to redefine everything she thought she knew about belonging to him.

Warnings: anal play, mini-golf, bondage, sensory play, suction cups, and laser tag.

RE/DEFINED is the fifth book in the Doms of the FBI series.  The novels in the Doms of the FBI series stand alone, though they do contain an overarching mystery element.  Re/Defined is a complex, thoughtful love story mixed with danger, crime, and suspense.



I’m going to split this review into two parts – the suspense and the romance – though they are intertwined



The FBI/detective story was well thought out and I loved how the reader was allowed to see both sides of the story as it played out.  Knowing what (but not knowing everything) that the bad guys were doing and, of course, our heroes was a lot of fun and interesting.  There was a lot of edge-of-seat action to keep my heart beating wildly when the steam from the romance wasn’t doing the same.



Amy’s path to discovering her little side was perfectly written.  I know she was frustrated at times, but that is true to life!  I loved that Jordan wanted to be her friend first.  IMHO, the best lovers are also friends.  I loved his patience and guidance.  Their power exchange grew naturally.



This was a great book!  I look forward to more glimpses of this sweet and powerful couple in future books in the series.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
