More About the Author

Lora Leigh lives in the rolling hills of Kentucky, often found absorbing the ambience of this peaceful setting. She dreams in bright, vivid images of the characters intent on taking over her writing life, and fights a constant battle to put them on the hard drive of her computer before they can disappear as fast as they appeared.

Lora's family, and her writing life co-exist, if not in harmony, in relative peace with each other. Surrounded by a menagerie of pets, friends, and a teenage son who keeps her quick wit engaged, Lora's life is filled with joys, aided by her fans whose hearts remind her daily why she writes.

5.0 out of 5 stars From the book's back cover..., August 13, 2007

Here is a brief synopsis of the two novellas:

Wicked Intent: Control has meant everything to Tally Raines. Control of the office she ran as Jesse Wyman's secretary, and now control of Lucian Conover's office as well. But Lucian isn't content to be controlled by his fiery secretary. As a matter of fact, Lucian thinks she needs to loosen up and let the sexy, sensual woman hiding beneath her cool exterior free. And he will dare her to do just that...With a little help.

Sacrifice: Kimberly has run from Jared for a year now, sensing the weakness he could be to her future. But she never expected the sacrifice he would make for her. One that will rock her soul, and destroy the very foundations of all her beliefs.

Her sexuality, her heart, and all she's fought for in the last six years will be tested when an assignment takes her to Jared's farm, and into his bed. There she will learn the true meaning of hunger, of love...as well as the deception and the lies that have governed her life for so long.

Anything worth having is worth sacrificing for. Kimberly is about to find out if she can pay the price, and risk not only the inheritance that should be hers, but also her heart to the one man who can still the fires that rage in her soul.

If you've read any of Lora Leigh's Bound Hearts books, you know what you'll be getting: lots and lots of steamy sex (including menages), not as much plot. But what plot(s) that are here in these novellas are interesting and revolve around the exclusive men's club outside of D.C. where the men have extreme sexual appetites and often share their women.

In "Wicked Intent", sassy personal assistant Tally Raines now works (and lusts) for Lucien Conover. Tally is used to controlling her men and her passion. But Lucien will have none of that. He wants to break through Tally's control and he uses his twin brother Devril to help him. After all, the brothers "share" everything. Will Tally agree and submit?

In "Sacrifice", US Senator's daughter Kimberly Madison has been running from the attraction she feels for her stepbrother Jared Raddington for a year. Kimberly is a rare female member of The Club, and she does everything sexually that she can with one exception: she must keep her virginity intact for at least 5 more years in order to inherit the long held multi million dollar family estate her late mother left to her. If she doesn't, her estranged father will inherit all. Are Kimberly's feelings for Jared stronger than her family legacy? Or will Jared be willing to sacrifice for her and wait?

Both of these books are pretty hot, fast paced reads, and some of the subject matter is not for the faint of heart. These books can stand alone, but due to a lot of overlapping characters, they will be less confusing and more enjoyable if read in the correct order. They are "Surrender"(from "Ties That Bind"), "Submission/Seduction", "Wicked Sacrifice", "Shameless Embraces" and "Forbidden Pleasure".

This book is another great story from Lora Leigh in Wicked you see the struggle of one girl to over come her own past to love the two men who want to give her everything. Tally doesn't know how to let go and let someone in but she wants too. Lucian and Devril are just the men to show her if she lets go even a little there is so much more she can have. In Sacrifice you see the struggle of two people who want to be together but circumstances stop them. Kimberly is stuck in a now win situation with her father and no matter how much she might want out an old promise always stops her. Jared has loved her for years but respects her situation and trys to stay away for her sake. When circumstances throw the two together, Jared shows her how he feels without making her break her promises. Sometimes you just have to open up to the idea of love to receive it.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you're over the basic romance books, this will do it!, June 1, 2007

This review is from: Wicked Sacrifice (Books 4 and 5) (Paperback)

After reading almost every type of erotic fiction, I was getting a little bored. Enter Lora Leigh & it's a whole new ballgame. I was an instant fan after the Breed series (can she get cranking on more, already?), so I decided to check out a different type. Love it, love it, love it! It's just naughty enough, with some great dialogue inserted between some really hot sex scenes. I found myself actually interested in the plot, if not totally believing that there could actually be a secret club of dominant alpha males interested in falling in love. I've already ordered the next 2 books, can't wait!!
