Summer Calhoun, aka Summer Bartlett has finally had enough
and has quit her job with the C.I.A. after being forced to
kill a friend who betrayed her. She's had enough and is
ready to go home. Esteban de la Cortez Falcone aka "Falcon"
her partner and his half-brother John Raegent aka "Raeg"
are prepared to protect her from the Russian psycho who is
bent on revenge. It comes to light that both men have
feelings for Summer that go beyond what either of them ever
expected.
I have to admit that had trouble getting as into INTENSE
PLEASURE as I have author Lora Leigh's other books. It did
have its intensity, action, danger raring its head from
several forces that I expected but something was off with
the romantic threesome as they came across to me. I'm not
sure whether it was Raeg, Falcon or even Summer but
something just did not click between them, for me. I didn't
dislike them but I just didn't get the vibe I have always
gotten from Ms. Leigh's staring characters.
I found Falcon the most approachable, he seemed sweet and
generous, even liked brushing Summer's hair for her, and he
was willing to do whatever had to be done to protect
Summer. Raeg was the more complex, personality wise and
much more fearful (if you can call a guy willing to stare
down a bullet fearful) of loving and losing Summer. Summer,
to my thinking, was almost a dual personality ... as an
agent she could kick-butt with the best of them but at home
she is "daddy's little princess". She did a lot of raging
at Raeg mostly for insulting her daddy because of something
that had happened to her when she was a teen, and though it
was forgiven/forgotten by her it was something that still
bugged Raeg. A little communication would have helped with
a number of problems that arose for them.
That all said, I did enjoy INTENSE PLEASURE for it's
high-octane action and the various family dynamics, on all
sides, added interesting twists, and helped explain a lot of
what was going on with all the people involved. And, of
course, all the culprits are brought to justice in one form
or another.
The brand new, never-before-published novel in #1 New
York Times bestseller Lora Leigh's deliciously sexy
Bound Hearts series, where one woman must accept--or
reject--the love of a lifetime.
