Mac
and Keiley have a peaceful life together on their farm in North Carolina, far away
from Mac’s past work as an FBI agent and his life as a member of ‘The Club’,
an exclusive and private group of men who are known for sharing their women
in threesomes. But Mac has started to grow restless, and Keiley can’t help
but sense the change in her husband. As she pushes for answers, she
unwittingly unleashes the side of him he has managed to keep restrained for
years.
She’d heard about her husband’s exploits before they moved to
North Carolina, of
course, but nothing could prepare her for the reality of his dark needs
until she finds his best friend, Jethro Riggs on their doorstep. She knows
it is no accident that Jethro, the man Mac most often shared women with,
arrives now. And seeing the two of them together, their eyes and words
burning her with their heat, unlocks desires inside of her she never
realized she had. But will giving in to Mac and Jethro change her marriage
for the worst, or make it better?
Even more dangerous than the feelings Mac and Jethro stir in her is the
stalker who reveals his presence and his rage after seeing her with the two
men. She should be safe enough with two FBI agents protecting her, but the
serial stalker is one step ahead of them at every turn…
Wow, wow, WOW!!! I loved Lora Leigh’s Bound Hearts
series when I read the previous entries in this series
released by a different publisher. I thought I was prepared for the eighth
installment in the series, Forbidden Pleasure, but
once again she takes things to all new levels with the new publisher, St.
Martin’s Griffin.
Dedicated fans of her Bound Hearts series will be ecstatic to
find that releasing through New York publishers has not dowsed any of the
heat they have come to crave in her books, but has instead ramped up both
the steamy scenes and the plot intensity. This full length novel brings us
the most complex Bound Hearts story yet, with mysteries,
action, and plot twists that will have you biting your nails in anticipation
of the finish.
Mac is at the top of the list of hot alpha males. Watching the results of a
Trojan (the nickname given to the men who belong to The Club) who has
quelled his deep-seated desires to share his woman for years is a new twist
for this series, and promises a torrent of emotion will be unleashed when he
finally gives in, drawing his wife into this world.
The devilish Jethro makes the name sexy, and erases the memory of all
Jethros who have come before. I will admit, I was a little uncertain I
would take a man with that name seriously in a Bound Hearts
story, but all doubt was quickly dispelled when I met Lora Leigh’s Jethro.
Keiley is the epitome of a Bound Hearts heroine, with grit and
determination, plenty of sex appeal, and a sweetness guaranteed to capture
the hearts of the two Trojan men in her world. If any woman can tame these
two Alpha males, Keiley can – but then, why in the world would she want to?
The plot was very cleverly done, with plenty of twists to the story. I was
able to figure out who the culprit probably was, but the real mystery was in
HOW the villain was accomplishing the things he/she did. The answers
stopped my heart for a second, and had me checking my own home security a
little more thoroughly before I went to bed that night!
Although I have already had the pleasure of reading Bound Hearts:
Forbidden Pleasure, I am anxiously awaiting its June 2007 release.
I’m absolutely dying to talk to other people about this one!!!
