Keith Rossetti grew up the hard way–fleeing from his older sister’s fists and finding addiction at a young age. It’s a miracle he was able to make it into the FBI, and he fiercely guards his relationships with a handful of close friends.When Katrina Legato’s brother brought home his Marine buddy all those years ago, she fell head-over-heels in love. Ten years have elapsed, and she hasn’t … hasn’t forgotten that toe-curling kiss he gave her for her eighteenth birthday. She knows he’s a demanding Dom who doesn’t respect his submissives or keep them for long, but if that’s all she can have of him, then she’ll take it.
When refusing Kat sends her to another Dom, Keith rethinks his decision. He plans to show her exactly why he’s not a suitable life partner for anybody. But Kat, one of the only women he’s allowed into his heart, isn’t what he expected. She’s no pushover. She demands more from him than anybody ever has, and he finds himself wanting to be the man she thinks he is.
As she repairs his damaged soul, a stalker targets her. Is it just a coincidence that his mother pops back up in his life and his sister is suddenly calling his office?

Our hero had an abusive upbringing and now keeps people, particularly women, at a distance. But our heroine has known him, and wanted him, for ten years and will have none of that distancing.
This is book two in the series. It is written as a standalone, with only minor references to previous characters.
I started the series expecting romantic suspense, so I was a bit disappointed in the lack of action. But now that I know what to expect, I found the second book (this one) to be much more enjoyable. This is first and foremost a romance story focused on BDSM, but with some suspense and intrigue thrown into the mix.
Now being properly grounded, I found the story to be well written and generally easy to read, although the hero’s background is rather harsh. Speaking of the characters, they are also well developed with solid backgrounds that fit the story and, as it turns out, each other. I have to admit that I didn’t care for the hero at the start of the story, but then that was rather intentional. Our heroine, on the other hand, shines from the start and the chemistry between the characters is delightful once he starts to loosen up. The intrigue in the story added another element but did not distract from the overall plot. Overall, I found the story to be very enjoyable and I look forward to reading more in the series.
Highly recommended.

Keith Rosetti and Katrina Legato have been secretly lusting after one another for 10 years, ever since he kissed her oh her 18th birthday. She claims he ruined her for all other men. Keith is known for being stoic and emotionless especially when it come to his subs. Now Trina has asked him to train her in D/s. If he refuses, she informs him she will find someone else who is willing. Add to that, Katrina has a stalker. Someone who’s been in her condo, moved her things and stolen her property. Keith, Malcolm and two other agents take on the job of finding the suspect and protecting her. Somewhere along the way, Keith loses his cold, hard demeanor and develops feelings he’s never experienced before.
Loved Keith and his Kitty Kat
Keith Rossetti is a former soldier, a recovering alcoholic, FBI agent, and a Dom, a sadist and masochist. With the exception of two, he doesn’t like or trust women. He does use them.
Katrina Legato is an assistant US attorney. She has crushed on her brother’s best friend Keith for the last decade. Her brother Mal has warned her away from him.
Keith has a lot of baggage carried over from his childhood. While Kat and her mother are the only to women Keith cares about, Mal thinks he is to broken, and will only break her heart.
Kat is determined to try. Finding a Dom she can trust to train her has proven difficult. When Keith finds out he reluctantly agrees to train her. Kat doesn’t react like the subs he has been with in the past. She refuses to be a doormat. Training a women he cares about is changing him.
Kat is in danger. She has a stalker. Someone is setting her up at work. There is concern that Mal’s fiancee, Darcy ‘s former bosses associates are targeting her. Things get more complicated when Keith’s estranged mother shows up looking for a favor.
A fast paced and steamy BDSM romantic suspense. Kat and Keith are so good together and for each other. Great epilogue. Loved Kat’s parents and cousin. Looking forward to Dustin and Jordan ‘s stories.
Not just another Dom-Sub. I enjoyed how they both did their own thing searching for what they needed from other outlets. Yet coming back to heal and see what could be. Great story!

Re/Paired is the second book in Michele Zurlo’s Doms of the FBI series focusing on Keith Rossetti, an FBI agent who is a Dom with a history of child abuse, and Katrina Ligato, an FBI attorney who challenges Keith to be a better person. Katrina has wanted Keith for a long time and wants to be his sub. When Katrina starts being stalked, Keith takes on the assignment of protecting her and finding the suspect. I recommend this suspenseful read with its complex characters, an intriguing plot, sizzling attraction, and a journey to love.

A plot that never works out the way he thinks…
When you decide to train your best friend’s sister as a sub, and you think it will all work out to just be friends, you’d better be sure you know what you are doing… Keith and Katrina have always had a special sort of platonic relationship, but can they maintain it? There are also a lot of other things going on behind the scenes in this action and steam packed book.
Well written, great depictions of D/s, hot and steamy, interesting characters, and some unexpected plotting make this a great read. Looking forward to book 3!
I could not find a good page to truly sink myself into, during the beginning stages of this novel. I like to imagine it in my mind as a movie as the pages turn; however, I never could find footing to actually get that started here with this story. I would possibly like to try again later, hopefully it might be a better fit.

WOW! This is a book that isn’t for everyone, there are some BDSM scenes that are not everyone’s cup of tea. If you like things a little different than the mainstream BDSM books that are out there, then this might just be what you are looking for. This is a fairly new author to me but I’m planning on reading a lot more by her. Loved this book.

This book was incredible. Unlike anything I have ever read before and so detailed. Where do I start? I have so much respect for this author because a book of this magnitude and it is so well written. This was also quite a difficult read because it goes against everything I have learned in a Dom/sub relationship. Keith was not a good guy in this book but Katrina stuck it out with him.
What did I like? The complete one eighty that Keith does is worth the ride. Katrina has to be one of the strongest subs I have ever read about but she definitely knows her worth and refuses to accept Keith’s behavior. He has always been different with her family, maybe they had enough years to help mold him better…idk. I loved it.
Would I recommend or buy? One of my favorite authors just sent me one of this authors books…
Kismet I say. I have been devouring this authors books and they are worth a buy. After having seen the paperbacks and know their worth, I’m looking to actually buy the paperback copy. I was so shocked that another author sent me a copy of another authors books. Mind blown. I definitely recommend this book….Dom/sub genre..five stars.
Thoughts for this author? I’m glued to Booksprout for your next book, and I’m sad they won’t let you put the same book up twice. Thanks to Booksprout btw for this copy, my review and thoughts are my own. Your an amazing author? Congrats on this book!
I can’t believe I’ve just found you, Michelle Zurlo. And these hottie Doms of the FBI. Keith and Katrina are intriguing, well written characters. Katrina is determined, whip smart, sensible, and compassionate and knows there is more to Keith than he shows to the world. Keith thinks he is damaged, cruel, and unlovable. The book is well paced, descriptive, and has some interesting twists and turns. This is the second book in the series, but I felt it could be read as a standalone. I’m hooked on these Doms.
I received a copy of this book from Booksprout and this is my honest review.
I loved this story. Even though it is book two, it is a standalone. Trina has loved Keith for a very long time. She has decided that she is going to go for it and ask him to train her as a submissive. Once he agrees, Keith learns that he can’t keep Trina at an arm’s length. She demands more from him. There is a HEA.
I loved this book and I am going to go back and read the rest of the books. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I am voluntarily writing this review for this book I received through Booksprouts arc.
Malcom and Keith had an argument and it’s been tense. Keith was invited to the party Layla always throws. Keith knew that a Katrina would be there but she was somewhat off limits. Keith thought of Kat on her knees before him with his collar. He knew Kat had a secret but no idea what it was but it bothered him. Kat asked him to train her and he said “No”he knew he couldn’t. Kat decided that she would try to find someone to train her besides Keith. Keith caught on that she had asked another Dom to train her and it made his blood boil he then decided he was going to train her. Keith pushes Kat and she wants to please him so she goes along with the training. Keith gets freaked out because he is beginning to feel again. Kat has a stalker she fines things gone or moved when she gets home. Her car also had been gone through and she never told Keith about the car. The staking continued so Keith and her brother watched over her. Malcolm had not an idea that his sister was seeing Keith which they couldn’t let him know. Twists, turns, kidnapping and love. BDSM subject matter Hot Read
Book 2 in the series is really good. This is Keith and Katrina’s story. He is her brother’s best friend, so they’ve known each other forever. Wanted each other forever, though never said it out loud. He is a harsh Dom with some significant baggage and she a tentative, beginner sub. Could this ever work? Can they adapt to satisfy each other, do they even want to try? Bondage, spanking, anal.

I read the first book in this series two weeks ago. Since then I have read all the books. I love how this series is a story within a story, meaning there is a main story about the couple but it fits within a bigger, global story that runs through several books. the plot is great, the relationship between the two is hot and steamy and it has a HEA. What more could you ask for in a book? This is a series! well thought out and well written from cover to cover.
