Paisley Nichols is living her dream working hard in her own
bakery. A handsome man, Rasmus Kessler, comes in and asks
her to have coffee with him, and turns into a dangerous
stalker. Not your ordinary stalker, mind you. His slightest
touch
makes her ill, her male workers are threatened, and worst of
all he somehow keeps any of the cops from taking him
seriously. Paisley's laid-back, hot, and genial surfer-boy
landlord
Iskander steps in and protects her when the stalker, a mage,
decimates everything in her apartment.
Iskander (a demon) has kept his heart and feelings safe
behind iron walls since his blood bond was broken by Fen.
She chose to join Rasmus, threatening Iskander's sanity as
well as her own, uncaring of the consequences. Although his
body found many hours of solace in those of human females,
he never thought his heart would be engaged. But Paisley is
different. Something about the evil touch of Rasmus has
triggered latent talent and something about her
vulnerability and refusal to back down has hooked her right
into his heart.
I enjoyed Jewel's ability to create complex and unusual
characters. Even the bad guy has a few redeeming qualities,
and you are never quite sure even those who fight on the
'positive' side are purely good. MY DANGEROUS PLEASURE is
Book Four in Carolyn Jewel's My Immortals series and a
solid continuation from the previous entries. Further
developments in plot lines started in earlier books reward
faithful readers without confusing the issue for first
timers. The plot in book four is cleverly constructed, with
a surprise ending. The romance that forms between Iskander
and Paisley is handled well, with the intense love scenes
not rushed but in perfect pace with the rest of the book.
Jewel's website contains information on her other series as
well as a short story that fits between books three and four
of the My Immortals series:
