I read this through Kindle Unlimited.
4 1/2 Stars
**Possible Spoilers**
I am so glad I took the time to read this. I am usually leery about modern takes on fairy tales, but this is good. I did not feel like I was getting beaten upside the head with Rapunzel references. Hair Out of Place stands on its own.
The story grabbed me right away with Raphie’s quirky yet engaging behavior. And it kept my attention when, at the onset, the author didn’t hesitate to throw deadly circumstances at these characters.
The bad guys are well written, and I could almost picture them as they went through the motions of attempted assassination. They are serious in their intent, but their execution is much lacking. This leads to some danger and pain, but also some comedic relief, keeping the piece from being too heavy. I was kept on my toes, wondering when the next attack would come.
Raphie’s character is what you would expect from someone kept locked up in a tower all his life, minus a lousy attitude. That was one of the very few things I found unbelievable in this tale, because I know I would have an incredibly poor attitude if I was locked up like that. But he is a beautiful person, and I fell in love with him. He is sweet and charming, and just what Griff needs in his life.
Griff's character is not what I would expect a seasoned bodyguard to be. I found it hard to believe in his career's efficacy based on some of the book's incidents. The immediate and sometimes overwhelming feelings, both emotional and physical, that he has for Raphie would be a good reason to knock him off his professional game, though. And their connection is strong from the very first. His backstory gives the wheres and whys of his life and outlook, but I wish I could have learned more about him.
In all, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I look forward to more from this author.
