Book Description

Publication Date: January 5, 2010

The sizzling new erotic tale from New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh

 

Marty Mathews had always known about the secret, forbidden pleasures that the women she had grown up with enjoyed. Women whose husbands or lovers were members of the exclusive “Club,” where they took a selected “third” into their beds.  And there is one man—a dangerous, forbidden man—who is part of this world and who has haunted Marty’s dreams for years.  But she had been the FBI agent assigned to shadow him, making him completely off limits. . .That is until Khalid is cleared and Marty is released from her assignment.  Now, all bets are off. . .

 

The beautiful, fierce Marty Mathews is the one woman Khalid hungers for like no other and is the one woman he dare not let himself have.  His past dogs his every step and danger lurks around every corner.  If he wants to keep her safe, he must stay away from her.  But the power of their desire is something they cannot deny—and once Marty is his, Khalid will do whatever it takes to keep her in his bed and in his arms.

1.0 out of 5 stars Total let down, March 20, 2010

By 

Yardy (Windsor CT) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guilty Pleasure (Bound Hearts, Book 11) (Paperback)

I was really disappointed by this book, a book that I had long waited for. Khalid was a mysterious, but much more refined lover as third in his prior book. Then we have Marty, a innocent by the fact that she had only just had her first few sexual encounters, but was expected to participate and enjoy anal sex without even the aid of lubricant? Puhleeze!! The rough talk during the sex was crude and unnecessary, a little dirty talk can be hot, but not in this book, ICK. One minute waxed, the next curls? Ripped off panty, putting back on said ripped panty? Then to add insult to injury, a rushed ending that left more questions than answers. I know it is a set up for another book in the series, but if it is about Shayne, I will pass. Unless the book is about Abram, where they can at least wrap up the loose end from GP, I believe I am done with this series.

I WAS a Lora Leigh fan... I am so diappointed with this book! I have waited for Khalid's story FOREVER!!! I really looked forward to it. I felt like I was reading a first draft of this book! Where was the editor? There were so many grammatical and spelling mistakes! Not to mention NUMEROUS storyline mistakes! The love scenes are dull and unimaginative! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! I wish I could get my money back and my time!

1.0 out of 5 stars Did Lora Leigh REALLY Write This?, August 30, 2010

By 

Emptrix (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guilty Pleasure (Bound Hearts, Book 11) (Paperback)

I enjoyed the Bound Hearts, series . . . until now! Lora Leigh has some downs in her writing, and she is something of a prolific writer, so one cannot expect every book to be five or four stars, or even three stars but this! I'd give this a minus five stars if possible. I hate being forced to even give it one star. I was anxiously awaiting Kahlid's story, sure it would be my favorite. So not! I wrote a letter to Lora Leigh expressing my great frustration with the inconsistent elements in the story, the lack of her usual spark, and the inexcusable publication of a rough draft that never made it through spell check or grammar check! It was painful to read this book. I offered to edit for her because she so obviously needs someone to help. I would die of embarrassment to have my name appear as the author of such an abortive story, especially when one's readers are expecting it to be at least as good as it's 10 predecessor stories. There is basically nothing good about this book. I have a difficult time believing that Lora Leigh actually wrote this. One thing is definitely certain, it never passed the eyes of an editor and if it did, that editor should move directly to the unemployment line, not pass go, etc., etc., etc. I feel like buying this book was like being taken advantage of in a "shell game".
