Romance Erotica Sensual | Erotic

John "Mac" McCoy retired from the FBI and gave up his membership at an exclusive sex club in Washington DC to move back to his hometown farm and settle into marriage with his new wife, Keiley. He thought he could give up his sexy lifestyle, knowing she wouldn't be able to handle being with two men. But after three years of happy marriage a crack is developing because of his unwillingness to share his dark desires and Keiley can tell. When she pushes the subject in an argument, he decides the time might finally be right to introduce a third, Jethro Riggs—-his old partner, into their lives. When Jethro arrives in town due to a forced suspension he brings news of a re-opened stalker case and his fervent desire to be part of Mac and Keiley's relationship. In fact, he saw her first and set her up with the hopes he'd be invited into their bed. He never imagined he'd have to wait for three years. Keiley's past has given her a horrible fear of gossip. But she has known all along about Mac and Jethro sharing women. What she has a hard time doing is reconciling her fantasies with the reality of two strong men wanting to love and protect her in a small town. She's totally committed to Mac but wrestles with her desires and growing emotional attachment to Jethro while worrying about being asked to resign from her charity committees and becoming gossip fodder. When the danger gets too close though, she finds the opinions of others don't hold a candle to the burning experiences she shares with both Mac and Jethro. FORBIDDEN PLEASURES is the 8th in Lora Leigh's "Bound Hearts" series. I did not read any of the earlier books but I can tell there is some extensive development to back up this first full length story. The only problem I had with this book was the editing—several scenes seem to be confusing and almost duplications of the same dialogue from one page to the next. I was however pleased by the resolution of the ménage relationship at the end of the book. So many times you become invested in two great men in an erotic romance and for conventional reasons the couple always winds up being one man one woman. Ms. Leigh doesn't settle for that trite solution in this one and I for one am very glad--

SUMMARY

The Club is private, exclusive and only for those men whose fantasies run to the more forbidden side. . . People have heard only fleeting rumors about The Club. Located just outside Washington, D.C., only its members know where men go when they want to indulge the desire to share their women with a carefully selected male partner. Former FBI agent John ‘Mac’ McCoy resigned his membership from The Club when he married Keiley Hardin. Tempting and innocent, sweet and sexy, she would never accept Mac’s desires to share her with another man. However, Keiley’s growing curiosity and Mac’s own fantasies of sharing his wife haunt his dreams. And his passions.

Unable to wait any longer, Mac invites his best friend Jethro Riggs, to their home with the intention of drawing Keiley into the pleasures that can only be achieved when two men love the same woman. But there’s more going on in Mac’s neck of the woods than a little additional pleasure. A past case involving a
stalker who likes to play games has shown up again, but now Keiley is in the middle of it all. Passion and pleasure, danger and desire combine as the forbidden becomes an addiction none of them can escape.
