It had all the requirements of a good read but didn't click real well for me. I liked it but felt it lacked something. I'll continue to check out more in the series, though.
Spicey action adventure. This was a terrific read. This story (and the rest of the SG-5 series of books it links to) has a fast-paced action adventure plot. It's all the things you'd expect from a high calibre book of that genre, and the strong female voice behind the writing brought an erotic, romantic and emotionally-complex angle to it that made it an extremely enjoyable read.

The greatest strength in Alison Kent's books is always her character descriptions. Never content to offer stereotypical traits, she takes the ordinary and raises the bar, taking it to the next level.
In The Bane Affair, Christian Bane is not just a man with a black ops/mercenary background, he's a man haunted and scarred by memories of time spent in an Asian bamboo cage. Where Kent ramps it up is in the scarring. Foreshadowed by his insistence on darkness whenever he undresses, when r...more

Realized that I had read this before but its still a nice light read. I liked the characters and the adventure and sex dribbled into the story. You read one of these and want to know the stories of the other characters that drift in and out of this story.
More like 3.5. I enjoyed it and it was a cute read with a half decent plot. I enjoyed Christian's character and was glad he got his HEA.
The SG-5 series involves as much steamy romance as espionage. This is the first in the series.
The style of the writing is much like that of Shannon McKenna but less excitiing...
2.5/5 stars.

I made it through the first few chapters and then quit. The female lead was so excited about all the things that she owned that I loathed her very quickly. Even if it turned out that she stopped being such a materialistic bimbo, I didn't want to have to read another page about her.

This was more romance than actual suspense, but that is good. I was in the mood for that this time around.
Kent is a new author to me even though this series is about 7 years old. I look forward to reading the rest.

I must be getting cynical. I found the sex scenes gratuitous and the plot limp. Will try one more and may find Allison Kent crossed off my list. Sorry Allison!

I often read of or hear about authors who knew they were meant to tell stories from the time they left the crib. Me? I didn't decide what I wanted to be when I grew up until I was thirty years old - and then sold my first book at thirty-four. Still, it was obvious that I always knew I was going places.
