A Good Book with excellent plot line and wonderful characters.

This started off to me as a romance of a married woman and her bodyguard but quickly turned into a steamy erotica that I was not expecting. I actually learned a lot about different kinds of sex play and terminology. I was very pulled into the story and I am anxious to find out what happens next. I really appreciate being able to read a romance/erotica set in Nigeria - it give dimension and reality to a country I don't know too much about.

I am a fan of Kirk Taye's work- the Essiens make for a great series so I was thrilled to find it available in my Netgalley collection. I wasn't disappointed! The plot was gripping - I couldn't put it down. Thank you, Net Galley for sending this to my Kindle.

After reading the previous books in this series, I couldn't wait to find out what would happen with Freddie. As usual Ms Taye delivers a stunning story filled with suspense, heart and passion. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Freddie Entangled is heartbreaking, passionate, and refreshing in its beautiful delivery of a wonderfully unique and deeply touching story of learning how to rise from the ashes of life. This story took me completely by surprise, and I loved every wondrous second of it! Nothing feels quite as good as a well-written and brilliantly executed storyline that tilts your world on its axis and never lets you recover from it. This story gave me that and so much more.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The characters were utterly fascinating, and I enjoyed getting to know each one of them. They challenged me every step of this journey, and I can’t wait to see what happens next. The plot was wonderfully enjoyable and pushed my limits in some areas, but when surrounded by the circumstances of this story, I can easily go with the flow. Above all else, I loved being able to cheer and root for Kike and Freddie. They are such incredibly complex yet stunningly simple characters who just long to savor and cherish the most important things in life. They both crave things just out of reach, and yet they are both fiercely determined to have the chance to embrace them.

Kiru Taye has stolen my heart with this incredible story! She has taken me on a wild, emotional rollercoaster that made me more addicted to it the longer I rode it. I am in awe of her heart and this fabulous story! I want so much more now, and I am so looking forward to the second half of this amazing journey of love and hope wrapped up in an unconventional yet thrilling plot that has engaged and awakened every part of me.

After reading Freddie Entangled, I know that I will be reading the next one in the series, which is entitled Freddie Untangled. Having only read the first book in the Essien Trilogy, Keeping Secrets, I have to read the other four books before this one. Even though I have not read books 2-5, I was able to follow the plot.

In this book, Kike, a famous actress, who is often referred to as the Ice Queen, is married to Lekan, the pastor of a mega church. After an incident that involved someone trying to take her son, Yomi, she decides that a bodyguard is necessary for her and her son.

Kike contacts the security firm, where Freddie works. Eventually, Freddie is hired to be Kike's personal bodyguard. His partner, Benson, watches the children. The immediate attraction between Kike and Freddie is intriguing, overpowering, and surprising to me.

Interestingly enough, the development of the plot to include sub and dom references shocked me. Why don't I know? I guess I just wasn’t expecting that in this text. The complexity of Kike and Freddie's interactions, as well as the relationship of Kike and Lekan, draws you into the plot, but also, leaves you feeling somewhat confused. Both these feelings make you want to continue until the end.

Being unfamiliar with the sub and dom world, I do not understand everything that Taye was trying to portray, but the psychology student in me couldn't help but notice the psychological and emotional abuse that Lekan was doing to Kike. Lekan has been taken advantage of Like since her youth.

In my opinion, I finished this book in record time. However, I was so disappointed when I made it to the ending. I wanted to know what was going to happen between Freddie and Kike, as well has what Lekan “had up his sleeve.”As I wait for Freddie Untangled to debut in May, I know I will be reading the books by Kiru Taye in this series to catch up.
