Blurb:

Jaci Wright has been running from Cameron Falladay, for seven years now. Fears of the desires he arouses in her, and the knowledge of the relationship he wanted with her spurred her to run, to find a life that kept hertraveling the globe and out of his reach. His and his twin brother’s.

But now, life has come full circle. A new job has placed Jaci in the Sinclair mansion with Cameron and his brother Chase. And Cam is tired of waiting. It’s hard enough to face accepting a relationship with Cam, knowing what he wants, but having the world her lover’s brother touches her as well fills her with dread. Gossip, rumors and the tattered tales of juicy secrets fill the society she now moves within. Can she face the world knowing she’s a lover to both men, or will her hesitancy and her fears destroy her chance of
happiness forever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Thoughts:

Jaci has been good friends with twins Cam and Chase for awhile. She has been in love with Cam since she was 13 and he was 18.

"Wait on me,  Cam. I'll grow up and I'll take all the bad things away" 

Eight years later Jaci is hoping to see Cam at a party. Now that she is 21 he will not be making her go home like he use to. Or she thought.  Cam is 26 now and has wanted Jaci for as long as he can remember. He  wants to keep her safe and protected from other guys that come to these parties. This is when the sexual tension starts and the dominate side of Cam comes out.

"You can go home with me, or I can take you back to your parent's," he rasped. "Which one?"

"The Party---"

You' re not staying here." He backed her against the front of the truck, lifting her until he was wedged fully against her, his hands sliding beneath the skirt to the bare flesh revealed by the thong she wore.

Now seven years later Jaci runs into Chase at a party hosted by her dear friend Courtney and her husband Ian. She finds out that Chase and Cam also work for Ian at his mansion, where she will be working on a design for the mansion. She has been running away from Cam and Chase for seven years since a very uneventful night happened between all of them. This is where the story gets interesting. Another client Jaci has done designs for has started some nasty rumors. Cam and Chase are not too pleased about the gossip going around. Cam made a promise to Jaci years ago that he would kill any man who hurt her. The Twins take it upon them selves to try and get the truth about the rumors and Jaci is not to happy about them meddling in her business.  Chase and Cam are very protective of Jaci, but Chase has a better way of dealing with it. As for Cam he can not control his anger over someone hurting Jaci.

"Cam, you can't contol her life here."

"I have no intention of controlling her life." Cam stated. "I'm going to become her life, Chase. There's a difference.

Something bad happened from Cam’s past that he is unable to have sex with a woman by himself and spend the night with a woman. I could not flip my pages fast enough to find out what happened to Cam. Lora Leigh did an amazing job keeping readers waiting for the his big secret. The only way Jaci can have Cam is if she is willing to have Chase too. It broke my heart at times reading this because she has always loved Cam and for her to have his heart she is willing to sleep with both of them. But the hardest and saddest part was when Cam was not able to sleep with Jaci in bed after their ménage. And the reason why. This goes on for a while through out the book. Jaci has let him have it a few times because of this. Loved it when Cam would have his little jealous/possessive moments. One of my fave quotes from the book.

Khalid: "There, my reputation is now once again intact, you may inform Paige you were ravished after all."
Jaci: "You are a rogue."  She laughed.
Cam:  "He's also endangered if he doesn't take his fucking hands off you"

As for Chase he is the sweet brother that can not tell Jaci no and she can walk all over him. He also loves Jaci but not the way Cam does. He knows that Cam is one that has Jaci heart. Love Chase and at times was rooting for him to have Jaci’s heart when Cam was being pig headed.

This is truly a love story where your hoping and wandering how Cam and Jaci are going to get their HEA. Lora Leigh not only wrote an erotic ménage but a good storyline with a suspenseful plot. She has you wandering through out the book about secrets and the evil people who started the gossip. The emotions run so deep with some of the sadness and anger. I love it when I read a ménage with tasteful graphic sex scenes, emotions and a good plot. Wicked Pleasure is really Cam and Jaci story on how she will do what ever it takes to have his heart. It was a nice and painful at times journey to see if she can have him trust her enough to open up about his bad past.

 This is one of my fave from the Bound  Heart series.

 My Cover Love

I like how the background is purple with the white whispy around the right side.  This cover is very simple with just the Man and his cat who are both slender and sleek but shows enough power with their muscles.

They live in the shadows—part man, part animal—hiding their true nature while defending the human race from the most savage of their kind…

Washington D.C. police officer Kalina Harper still dreams about that night, two years ago, when a huge cat-like creature saved her from a crazed attacker. Although she kept the truth to herself, Kalina can never forget the ferocious strength of the beast’s fangs and claws—or the raw animal hunger in its eyes. Until she meets Roman Reynolds…

Powerful, passionate, and impossible to resist, they are the Shadow Shifters…

Muscular, magnetic, and all man, Roman is a high-powered attorney with a predatory smile and seductive charm. He is also a criminal suspect with suspicious connections to the Amazon jungle. But when Kalina discovers that Roman is linked to a secret race of shapeshifting jaguars—who hunt down maneaters—she is forced to put her trust in a man who unleashes her wildest fantasies and fears. A fierce creature of the night whose nature is to protect his female at any cost…



                                                                

Whats next to hotter than a shirtless hero on the cover a hero in a wet white t-shirt standing in a storm clenching his fist.

He never saw her coming…

Spencer Lark already knows too many secrets about Arizona Storm, including the nightmare she survived and her resulting trust issues. But in order to expose a smuggling ring—and continue avenging his own tragic past—the bounty hunter reluctantly agrees to make Arizona a decoy. Yet nothing has equipped him for her hypnotic blend of fragility and bravery, or for the protective instincts she stirs in him.

Arizona wants to reclaim her life, which means acting as bait to lure the enemy into a trap. Sure it's dangerous, especially with a partner as distractingly appealing as Spencer. But as their plan—and their chemistry—shifts into high gear, Arizona may discover there's an even greater risk in surrendering her heart to a hero...

Love this cover! Not only is the hero shirtless with sweat pouring down his chest or still damp from a shower but I realy like how the skates our worn looking especially with the laces.

Author of the month: Rebecca Zanetti

My Fave New Author

Rebecca Zanetti

Website  goodreads

My 1st Author of the month goes to Rebecca Zanetti.  I love her series The Dark Protectors. If you like Paranormal Romance books with a Uber Alpha Vampire Hero  with a good plot, great characters, instant mating,  creepy bad guys,  action, love, sexual tension and steamy sex scenes then this series is it.  Her books flow smoothly with just enough action, sex, love and sexual tension.

This series is one you want to start from the beginning.  The story line continues but nothing where it leaves a cliffhanger. The characters are through out the books and new interesting ones are introduce.

I have been looking for a good series that is right up there with Lora Leigh (Breeds), Nalini Singh (Psy Changeling) and J.R. Ward (BDB) and yeah I found it in The Dark Protectors.  Thank you Rebecca Zanetti for giving me a kick butt series with sexy alpha males and secondary characters where I can not wait for some of them to get their own stories.

This month I will be showing my love with quotes, reviews and buttons.

Fated (Dark Protectors Series #1)

Marry Me

Cara Paulsen does not give up easily. A scientist and a single mother, she's used to fighting for what she wants, keeping a cool head, and doing whatever it takes to protect her daughter Janie. But "whatever it takes" has never before included a shotgun wedding to a dangerous-looking stranger with an attitude problem. . .

Or Else

Sure, the mysterious Talen says that he's there to protect Cara and Janie. He also says that he's a three-hundred-year-old vampire. Of course, the way he touches her, Cara might actually believe he's had that long to practice. .

Claimed (Dark Protectors series #2)

A Daring Rescue

Emma Paulsen is a geneticist driven by science. But she's also a psychic, so when a dark, good-hearted vampire frees her from the clutches of the evil Kurjans, she realizes he must be the man who's been haunting her dreams. But with a virus threatening vampires' mates, Emma may discover a whole new meaning of "lovesick"...

A Deadly Decision

As King of the Realm, Dage Kayrs has learned to practice diplomacy. Still, it's taken three hundred years to find his mate, so he'll stop at nothing to protect her—even if it means
turning his back on his own kind...

Tempted (Dark Protector series #2.5)

Novella

CONSTANT DANGER

On the run from a mental institution and her vindictive half-brother, it’s safe to say that Sarah Pringle’s happy life as a schoolteacher is on hold. Too bad that as far as self-defense goes, “run and hide” is the best she’s got. And with the monsters that started her escape hot on her heels, that’s not going to cut it for long…

INSTANT LUST

That is, unless Sarah has a bigger, badder, hotter monster on her side. Max Petrovsky is right at the top of the list of alpha male ass-kickers. And he knows exactly what Sarah’s up against. Good thing, because the minute he sees her something primal kicks in, turning everyday attraction into red-hot desire. As long as they’re cooperating, why not mix some pleasure with business? Of course, Max should probably tell Sarah he’s a vampire himself…

Hunted (Dark Protector series #3)

Release date: April 24, 2012

Ready Or Not

Moira Dunne is a witch—the quantum physics kind. Time and space are her playthings. Which might explain why her one-night stand from a hundred years ago has turned up to “claim” her—and request her family’s assistance with the war he’s brewing. But the more she learns about Connlan Kayrs, the more she comes to think this is normal behavior for him…

There's Nowhere To Hide

When Conn and Moira tumbled on the moonlit grass, Conn hadn’t meant to mark her as his mate for all time. She was only twenty! But it wasn’t easy to wait for her. It was even harder to forget her. So when he finally returns for his wicked-hot witch, he’s ready to let the sparks flying. Even if he burns up in flames…
