Forbidden Pleasure (Bound Hearts)

this is by far one of my favorite books. through fantasy, i can express myself....

this is the first bound hearts book that i've read by ll and can i say, i will now have to purchase the rest of the series.. she does not disappoint.. i was at first very aprehensive of the menage's but i don't know how she does it.. but the story is beautifully written.. hot males, sexy/strong female... not at all abhorrent.. as i am more used to mainstream love stories of one man and one woman in a relationship.. this book is definitely a keeper.. if you ever need something to warm you up.. and you don't have a lover close by reach for this book..

John "Mac" McCoy is a former Trojan and member of The Club; a specialty club that that caters to men with specific wants and desires. In the past, Mac and his best friend Jethro experienced everything the secret club had to offer, even the risqué sharing of their women. After meeting and falling in love with one special lady, Keiley Hardin, Mac resigned his membership with the idea that his intrinsic sexual tendencies and cravings will stay on the back burner. Three years later, Mac knows he was only fooling himself. No longer able to keep his wants at bay, Mac realizes that his sexual needs have started working their way into his psyche and his marriage. Keiley Hardin McCoy loves her husband Mac with her whole heart and soul. It's not surprising that she has heard the rumors surrounding her husband and his best friend, Jethro Riggs. However, Keiley has a secret of her own. Buried inside of her, and now making itself known, is a sensual curiosity that wants to know and experience the type of relationship that has, up until now, only been speculation. Jethro Riggs brings new meaning to the title of "bad boy". He loves women and they love him - at least in a physical sense. Life has taught Jethro the hard lesson that loving someone will only lead to loss, and for this reason he avoids any emotional ties until one phone call from Mac turns his world and emotions upside down. When Mac states his request, Jethro can't suppress his raging desire. With one kiss from Keiley McCoy, too late, Jethro recognizes his error. Though his position is only temporary, he realizes that if there is one woman who could touch his heart, it's the wife of his best friend. When a sinister presence sets his sights on Keiley, the two men vow to keep her safe at all costs. While racing to identify Keiley's stalker, the three explore their sensual cravings causing passions to explode and lives to alter. But can such a relationship survive when the smoke clears? Or will one remain on the outside, always craving what he never knew he wanted? Before reading FORBIDDEN PLEASURE, I never attributed the adjective `sexy' to the name Jethro. Now, however, I'll be unable to say the name without thinking of sensual blue eyes, a strong body, and a naughty smile. Jethro Riggs was sin personified and I loved watching his emerging feelings for Keiley, who turned out to be one lucky woman. Her unconditional devotion to Mac was readily apparent and it was not compromised with her rising attraction to Jethro; rather, it was made stronger and more intense. I felt the genuineness of Mac's anguish at the effects his sexual needs could have on his relationship with Keiley. While he desired nothing but his wife's pleasure, I could feel his turmoil over wanting to make Jethro a part of his and Keiley's marriage bed. Highly intense, poignantly emotional, and wonderfully delicious, FORBIDDEN PLEASURE was a truly decadent read. As with all Lora Leigh novels, I read this c

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
