(Erotica Very Well Written)

(Did not enjoy)

(Eden's Pleasure is Joyfully Reviewed!)

(That should be four-and-a-half stars)

(Review sites)

I bought Eden's Pleasure then Antonia's Bargain as soon as I realized it was Gideon's story. These are serious adult stories. Not for the squeemish, but also not for those just looking for something just detailing a string sexual encounters for no other reason than sex. The characters are complex, multifaceted and keep you interested in the progression of their stories. The stories are set in the early 1800's in England. The relationships between the people and the role of sex in relationship are quite believable for that time period. Gideon and his younger twin Gervase share their stories with strong women, Eden and Antonia. I agree with another reviewer, Gideon really appealed to me the most of all the characters. The characters are so well written at times I almost felt like they were real people.

I bought Simply Sexual because it is in part a continuation of these stories. One of the characters with a strong role in Antonia's Bargain, Peter, and two others mentioned, Sara and Valentin. I hope Ms. Pearce will give Peter his own HEA story, outside of HEA with Sara and Valentin.
It was not a book I enjoyed in fact I didn't finish reading it and sold it immediately
Widowed after eight extremely long years, Eden is finally free to be herself and indulge in sexual escapades forbidden when married to her elderly husband. Who does she turn to but the men who were her downfall eight years ago?

Gideon and Gervaise Harcourt have one weakness and her name is Eden. Caught in a state of undress eight years ago, they are the reason she was forced into matrimony with an older man in order to save her reputation. Now, however, she doesn't care about her reputation. She wants to explore her sexuality in ways not accepted in polite circles. Who better to show her than the Harcourt twins?

This is a novel of awakenings for all three main characters. I thought Eden quite bold, sexy, and brave; especially during this time frame in history when reputations meant everything. Of the twins, Gervaise is the one I love the most. He reinforced my view that love can conquer all. His twin, Gideon, made me shiver with his dark desires and illicitness.

I usually shy away from books written in first person. I am happy to say that Eden's Pleasure held me hostage from the first moment I picked it up until I read the very last word. It has all the elements needed to keep my attention and the sex scenes were extremely well-written. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Pearce! **Talia Ricci for Joyfully Reviewed**

So here's the deal: There are two romance stories in Pleasurable Bargains, one of which features a hero I love in an unholy way. Honestly, the extent of my Gideon love is nigh-infamous.

Here now, I shall attempt to separate Eden's Pleasure (which I liked to a four) and Antonia's Bargain (which I liked to a five, and which starred Gideon, who I love to eleven). Purely for the sake of reviewing.

Eden's Pleasure is a second-chance story. It takes that old historical standby--a patriarchal "thou shalt not have boy/girl of thine dreams, thy shalt marry who I say or Bad Things Will Happen"--and gives it a spicy twist or three. It's written with Ms. Pearce's snap, all fast-moving prose that sizzles, tickles, or saddens on demand. It's a great, engaging read, plausible and steamy and fun.

A caveat: Gideon is yummy. Everyone I've discussed Eden's Pleasure with agrees Gideon is yummy. Gideon is also Not The Hero...that would be his twin, Gervase. Overcome the Gideon yum temporarily and enjoy Gervase and Eden's relationship for its own sake. Erotic romance readers won't regret it.

Antonia's Bargain is, quite frankly, the story that won Ms. Pearce my readership for life. Where Eden and Gervase have to fight their pasts and the machinations of others, Antonia and Gideon blend seamlessly. They are precisely what I'd hoped they might be (but feared no writer could pull off, such was/is my Gideon love) and their relationship unfolds in a real, natural way. Spicier than Eden's Pleasure, perhaps, but absolutely necessary to properly bring these two people together in a realistic way.

It's not possible to discuss these stories without mentioning their sexual content, if only for those readers struggling with the current trends of labeling erotic romance. There is sex. Frequently. Explicitly described, all within the confines of their respective plots. This is not a bodice-ripper historical, wherein a few naughty words are used. These are sexual stories intended for readers who enjoy explicit seduction in their romance. But for our main characters, the sex is not gratuitous, it's merely an extension of how they overcome their conflicts to reach their happily-ever-afters.

Erotically-charged romance, well-written with engaging characters. That's what you'll find in Pleasurable Bargains.

This is one of very few books which I will highly recommend to those who enjoy a very spicy romance read--and yes, they are definitely romances--but will not actually lend out myself. My copy's sacrosanct: it's not leaving my apartment because I'm sure I wouldn't get it back.
Reviewer: Rachelle "Fallen Angel Reviews"
Rating: 5 Angels

As I sat down to read Antonia's Bargain, Ms. Pearce had two items in
her favor right from the beginning: the fact that this story was a
historical and knowing I would be exposed to some non-traditional
sexual encounters. Then she snared me with Gideon who was
confident, a connoisseur of all things sexual yet still saddled with a good
deal of vulnerability.

Ms. Pearce was able to design a man who, in spite of his sexual
proclivities, made you feel as if no one else in the world existed. Then
she took me over the top with Antonia. Gideon's perfect match and
equal when it came to intelligence, wit and daring. These two were
perfect and Ms. Pearce was able to highlight their every emotion, which
made this book topnotch.

A great story for readers like myself who appreciate love full of
acceptance, compromise and your `happily ever after on our own terms'
relationship.

After eight years in a horrendous marriage, Eden is ready to experience
a little pleasurable freedom. After having been caught in a
compromising situation with Gervase Harcourt, she's ready to explore
her deepest desires. When Gideon crosses her path to make amends
for his part in her disastrous marriage, he promises to teach her the
joys of passion. But once Gervase enters the picture, the fantasy of
erotic, no strings attached exploration becomes difficult to live with when
faced with the reality of her love for him.

This book truly moved me, making me feel an instant connection to the
characters and leaving me empowered by the story. I really enjoyed the
no-nonsense attitude Eden displays, as well as the compounding
emotional turmoil that the situation creates. Any story that can drain me
emotionally as well as sexually is rare indeed, and Eden's Pleasure
does both. Gervase has a challenging personality that I can't help but
feel an attraction to. He knows what he wants and doesn't fail to take
what he needs. This take-charge attitude is both desirable and
shocking, not to mention devilishly sexy. There isn't a moment in this
whole novel that I didn't sense a romantic and loving connection
between the characters. They do things together to showcase their
love, making their joy seem real. But the sex! Cool me down with a cold
shower because these sex scenes are scorching hot. There is a bit of
everything here, from sex toys to voyeurism and even a bit of ménage,
and the story never slows or becomes dull. Overall, I greatly enjoyed
Eden's Pleasure and will be placing Ms. Pearce on my auto buy list.

Eden's Pleasure By Kate Pearce Eight years ago, after a summer of sexual dalliance with Gervase Harcourt and his twin brother Gideon, Eden was forced into marriage. Now widowed and twenty six, she is eager to enjoy her freedom and explore her deepest sexual desires. When she crosses paths with the delectable Harcourt twins again, they offer to make amends for their part in her miserable marriage by fulfilling her sexual fantasies. They introduce her to Madame Desiree's House of Pleasure where any erotic dream can become a reality. She also learns love has its darker side and that for Gideon, not all the fantasies played out at Madame Desiree's are pleasurable. As Eden explores her sensuality she realizes her heart still belongs to Gervase. But is she more than just a sexual plaything to him? Forced to consider another unwanted marriage and convinced that her barren state is why Gervase hasn't offered to marry her, Eden flees from Gervase and the sensual web he's spun around her. But Gervase has learned his own lessons at Madame Desiree's... Antonia's Bargain By Kate Pearce This book is the stand-alone sequel to Eden's Pleasure. Since the suicide of his first wife, Gideon has avoided emotional interactions with women in favor of less emotionally draining liaisons with men. When he unmasks "Anthony" Maxwell and finds he is, in fact, Antonia, he is still sexually intrigued enough to want to bed her. A reluctant heiress, Antonia knows she has to marry but she intends to do it on her own terms her wealth in return for a husband-free bed. Gideon offers to help her infiltrate the world of the ton dressed as a man so she can see her potential suitors in their natural habitat. In return, she agrees to allow him to teach her every trick in his sexual repertoire as long as he doesn't take her virginity. Her fear of marriage and pregnancy is a puzzling barrier that Gideon, despite his exceptional skills, finds difficult to penetrate. As they become more scandalously intimate, he has to decide whether to help Antonia face her fears or walk away from the only woman he believes he could ever love.

`Hard Match'

Rachel Law is discontent. After finally achieving the promotion she has always wanted, in a job that she used to love, she feels as if her life is adrift and she is just floating by. When her friend, Sabrina, suggests an erotic get-a-way using The Capture Agency, Rachel is intrigued. Evidently The Capture Agency caters to those men who have dominant tendencies and that is just what Rachel needs. She wants to let go of the control that she has a hard time relinquishing and figures for one weekend she can have as much sex as she wants and then walk away. Rachel hasn't met Chase Hunter.

From the moment they meet over a conference room table, Rachel and Chase desire each other. Now all he has to do is capture her as they have planned. Dominant tendencies aside, Chase is unsure if what he is feeling is real or just something he feels caught up in the moment and it scares him. Of course, there is that tiny little fact that he is the owner of The Capture Agency as well...

I loved Hard Match. I found Chase to be the ultimate genius and bad boy. Who wouldn't? He is the reason The Capture Agency is in existence and I found myself tickled when his friend Mark set him up like he did. Rachel started out just wanting a good time and it took about 12 hours for her to realize that Chase just might be the man for her. Hard Match was sinfully delicious and beyond tempting.

`The Perfect Stranger'

Sabrina Daniels has always had a certain fantasy. She wants to be kidnapped on the high seas by a pirate and held captive while her kidnapper has his wicked way with her. Not realistic in this day and age, but it could happen and it does when she goes to The Capture Agency to have her dreams fulfilled. She doesn't count on falling for her older but incredibly sexy kidnapper nor does she count on her favorite fantasy being played out like her favorite book. It seems Sabrina isn't the only one with secrets.

Kane Woods is not a small man. When he sees Sabrina for the first time he immediately worries about her small stature. Well, he worries for about five minutes until the tiny dynamo that is Sabrina knocks his socks off. Kane is torn between telling Sabrina his real name and telling her that he wants to see more of her. When she inadvertently becomes too nosy for her own good and finds out his pseudonym, Kane hopes that she will let him explain. If, that is, he can find her.

I think The Perfect Stranger is my favorite novella of the entire novel. Kane was used to people thinking less of him because of his chosen profession so therefore, he felt he needed to hide who he was and what he did from Sabrina. Of course, Sabrina was unlike anyone Kane had ever met and she rocked his world from the minute she asked permission to come aboard his boat. Their chemistry was hot enough to scorch the pages of this book and more than once I read their antics wide-eyed!

`Ex Marks the Spot'

Hearing her friends at work talk about The Capture Agency, Emma Michaels can't help but be interested. She and her husband of sixteen years have been separated for weeks and Emma thinks it is time for her to get on with her life. When she and the man who is to capture her meet, sparks fly and Emma is amazed at their chemistry. And they do have chemistry - sixteen years worth.

Gage Michaels can't look a gift horse in the mouth. Agreeing to be the match for Emma is like a blessing from above because otherwise he couldn't make her listen to his side of the story. Unlike what Emma thinks, Gage still loves her and has never cheated. With her blindfolded and all his for the night, Gage plans to make Emma see that there is no one else he wants in his life but her and if that doesn't work, he'll just keep her tied up until she realizes he means what he says.

Ex Marks the Spot was a story of new beginnings and forgiveness. Gage worked very hard his entire married life so that he could measure up to high standards and feel worthy of Emma. Emma, on the other hand, only wanted Gage for who he was - the man she loved and adored above all others. Love like theirs comes very rarely and I melted inside when they were able to finally be the couple and partners each of them craved.

Talk about fantasy island. Each novella in Satisfaction Guaranteed comes complete with a sexy kidnapper and the woman who is his best match. The men are sensual and the women desire them. A perfect combination that just works in the pages of this novel. I laughed, melted, shook my head, and fanned myself. If this book was any hotter I would have needed a new air conditioner. If you are a lover of closely written novellas or if you just like three really great stories, then Satisfaction Guaranteed is not to be missed!

reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
This is a great read, through and through. The stories are fantastic and read easily. I also found that the erotica was intense, without being over the top. Highly, definitely recommended. I also liked and would suggest My Dirty Thirties, Romantic Hedonism.
Sabrina and Rachel aren't finding any satisfaction in the dating pool and Emma's separation from a cheating husband has her ready to strike out and find out what she's been missing. They have fantasies and desires that they aren't finding through the normal avenues. Fortunately there is The Capture Agency, a fantasy dating service specializing in pairing their clients up with compatible partners who are willing to push the envelope and play out their fantasies.

HARD MATCH
Because of Rachel's high IQ, finding a man capable of surprising her is proving to be impossible. She's tired of the same old predictable dates with men who can't relate to her. Since The Capture Agency uses stringent testing she decides to give it a chance.

Chase is the proud owner of The Capture Agency. He never dates the clients but when his assistant Mark can't find a match for Rachel in the data base he runs her info against Chase's and it's a match. Chase isn't happy about Mark's interference but once he meets Rachel he has no doubt that she is the woman for him and he has no doubt that their `date' is going to be anything but predictable.

THE PERFECT STRANGER
Sabrina is sick of her dates running in fear just because she requests acting out her pirate fantasy and capture her. Finding a man willing to indulge her in all her wicked capture fantasies is proving impossible but she's still got hope. Through The Capture Agency she's secured a `date' with a huge man who she's positive can satisfy her every desire - that is if she can convince him that she isn't too young or too petite for him to get a little rough.

Kane learned early on in life that his large body easily intimidates women. That makes it difficult for him to allow himself the freedom to indulge his dominant nature. His agent's comment that his holding back in life is showing in his books led him to a most unusual dating service and a little slip of a woman who excites him just as much as she terrifies him. Fortunately, Miss Sabrina isn't easily intimidated and finds his much larger size to be very exciting - besides she's never met a man who not only fits the role of pirate but seems to revel in it.

EX MARKS THE SPOT
Emma's trying to move on after learning of her husband's infidelity. The trouble is that she can't stop loving him even though she knows that their relationship has been on a downhill slide and passion and spontaneity have become a thing of the past. She's been separated from Gage for the past month and she wants to move past her hurt. After listening to Rachel and Sabrina discuss The Captive Agency she decides that it might be just the thing she needs.

Gage is shocked when he overhears Emma's discussion with Rachel and Sabrina. He's never cheated on her and wonders why she came to that conclusion but quickly realizes his dedication to making a better life for them, coupled with a huge lie from his secretary, have made a mess out of his marriage. His love for Emma has never wavered but maybe their sex life could use a little stirring up, and if it takes him using the agency to seduce his wife back into his arms then he's more than willing to do whatever it takes.

Charlene Teglia brings our fantasies of capture and bondage to the forefront with her latest release SATISFACTION GUARANTEED. These three interconnecting stories are told with heart, heat and a whole lot of hope that readers can sense as they read through each story. Rachel and Chase are both highly intelligent individuals with a penchant for bondage. Finding a compatible partner in the normal dating pool for them would be next to impossible. Sabrina and Kane are fun loving and imaginative but neither was finding satisfaction in the relationships they've had because they're forced to hold back their true needs and desires. And last but not least, Emma and Gage; a couple who have been married for many years but work and self-doubt are driving a wedge between them. Every couple is very different and yet they all have a driving need to experience fun and love with a sexual partner.

Ms. Teglia is a talented author who writes in a variety of romance genres and never leaves her readers left wanting - expect for maybe her next book. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED is a prime example of what makes her one of my favorites - storylines that seduce both the mind and spirit.

Chrissy Dionne (courtesy of Romance Junkies)
Ever have a capture fantasy? Doesn't matter. You will after reading Charlene Teglia's newest book, Satisfaction Guaranteed. Ms. Teglia delivers three stories of women who enjoy capture fantasies in this sexy collection. Connecting these stories with the friendships between the three heroines allows the book to work as one continuous story with three subplots. On top of that, the central element of an agency that connects individuals to experience their capture fantasies in a safe environment removes the element of real danger for both our three couples and the reader, leaving simply the sensuality and the excitement of the fantasy.

Satisfaction Guaranteed is sure to thrill readers who enjoy romances with a generous dollop of sensuality sprinkled with a nice bit of humor and finished with a more than satisfying happy ending.

~Hard Match~

Chase Hunter may be the founder of The Capture Agency, but he never anticipated actually using his own service. That would be...unethical. Wouldn't it? But it appears his assistant has other ideas when Ms. Rachel Law proves a Hard Match - that is, until he runs her profile against Chase's. It seems Chase is the only possible match for the lonely and brainy businesswoman, and when he lays eyes on the beautiful executive, he just can't find it in himself to deny her fantasies...

I thought that Chase and Rachel's story was the perfect one to kick off this collection. With Chase's position as the owner of The Capture Agency, it helped lay the groundwork for this unique and exclusive company, giving us a behind the scenes glimpse at the way they fulfill fantasies, from the background checks and medical history to the compatibility matching.

And Chase certainly was a match for Rachel, in ways that disarm and delight our seemingly staid heroine. Of course, Chase immediately sees through that veneer of control to the sensual woman buried underneath, and he works overtime to give them what they both need, drawing Rachel out of her shell until she can no longer deny her true feelings.

~The Perfect Stranger~

Kane Woods' massive build coupled with his aggressively dominant tendencies have always worried him, to the point where he has long stifled his deepest desires in order to protect the women he has been with. When denying his most fundamental sexual needs begins to affect both his life and his career, The Capture Agency seems the perfect solution. Kane is more than able to fill every pirate fantasy that Sabrina Daniels has, but can this petite woman handle everything he has to give? And when his intentions prove more long-term than anticipated, how will she react to his secrets?

I adore all of the heroes in Satisfaction Guaranteed, but I have to say that Kane Woods is my very favorite! The combination of his dominant nature and quick wit proves as much an aphrodisiac to me as it did to our heroine. Often when you think of a dominant Alpha male type, people imagine a very serious man who rarely cracks jokes, but Kane easily dispels that misconception. Add to those qualities his extreme concern for Sabrina's well-being at every stage of the game, and you have a hero that is sure to melt the hearts of every woman who reads this book.

Sabrina is more than a match for her hero. Her irreverent humor and unstoppable personality prove a challenge that Kane finds impossible to resist - not that he wants to. This heroine effortlessly worms her way into both Kane's and the readers' hearts with her fresh outlook and guileless personality.

Then there are Kane's delicious little secrets... I won't spill the beans, but I loved the twist regarding what he is hiding from Sabrina!

~Ex Marks the Spot~

When Gage Michaels overhears his estranged wife making plans to enroll in The Capture Agency's database in order to be matched with a man who can fulfill her capture fantasies, he begins making his own plans immediately. He doesn't know why his wife left him, but she'll be matched with another man over his dead body. Her fantasies of domination and seduction play right into his hands, giving him the perfect opportunity to find out why she left him and win her back.

In Ex Marks the Spot, Ms. Teglia brings us an immensely satisfying tale of love gone wrong that finds a very happy reunion for our lovers. As Gage probes his wife's reasons for leaving him, he learns more about both himself and her than he ever realized, as does Emma. As they resolve their issues during a night of unparalleled sensuality, they learn that a happy ending can never be taken for granted, that it takes effort and care on both their parts to be maintained forever. Indeed, their short rift binds them together more closely and surely than ever before, leaving them with a marriage guaranteed to last the long haul.

Welcome to The Capture Agency, a fantasy dating service for dominant men who know what they like and how they like it, and women who can handle limitless pleasure. After being matched with a partner, the male will capture his date and make her a slave to passion. This service is for couples who aren’t afraid to push the limits, let go of their inhibitions and lose themselves in the fantasy.

Clients include Chase Hunter, the agency’s owner, who decides to break his cardinal rule against dating clients and capture a woman for the first time. Kane Woods, a man of superior size and strength who’s always had to reign in his desires--until now. And Gage Michael, who learns that his ex is using the service…and decides to capture her. Will these couples enjoy a hot romp between the sheets, or will they capture each other’s hearts?

(cecilia mcneill)

Loved it first time reading this author might try out another one of her books but i enjoy Jake he is freaky *smiling*.. Good for the collection

By The Way: love the hot tub sence
My goodness this book was hot. Lynn and Jake just steam up the pages of this book and I loved every minute of it. Jake was the ultimate alpha male and I have to say I just found him so refreshing. Man did this guy throw his weight around with Lynn but she did not seem to mind since she enjoyed every minute of their interludes.

It was a very short book but a good read none the less.
Great short story. I love interracial love stories. Could have been a little longer. It was just hot enough for me to enjoy.
I really liked this book. I thought the love scenes were hott and exciting. I liked the main characters. I liked the story line. Some of the dialog was boring but all around, it was a good read. I have read her other books and didn't like her style, yet this book was by far the only good one she's written. So enjoy a happy, hott read.
this was my first book by this authoer and i must say it was a good book and i love reading it will continue to look for her books
Years after leaving her step-family's ranch to pursue a new life and career, Lynn James is called back to save the property from the crafty yet handsome Jake Ragnall.

(She wasn't the one, for real)

(Livid!!!)

(The Player and the Crazy Chick)

(Book Arrived As Described)

(She ain't the one)

I will say this novel helped to place my faith back into Carl Weber, because he step out of his character a little with this, and I like that. It also open my eyes to Mary B. style and writing. I'm looking forward to reading more of her work. The ending has me looking for the squel to this one for Carl Weber, and I'll research Mary B. to make sure I'll start at the beginning of this series.

The book is for adults because of it's theme, and issues, which involves, kiddnapping, rape, lots of sex, and one crazy chick!

Both writers did a good job with their characters. -It shows the truth about how men really don't have a chance in hell against women, unless she's weak.......food for thought.

All in all, it's a good read, it did take me a while to get through it, but I'll blame that on me not having the time to be still long enough to do so.

Ashlee definitely wasn't the one for Jay or any body else for that matter. While on the rebound from a previous marriage, Jay meets psycho slave, Ashlee, at a night club. Soon after his boys meet her, they confront Jay on some abnormal behavior of hers and made it their business to share their opinion of her by telling him that she's not the one. After a world of drama, Jay discover that his boys were right, but its to late, he became wrongfully accused of rape by, you guessed it, none other, Ms. Ashlee Insane Anderson.

Overrall, it was a pleasure to read but I'm a fan of happy endings and this just didn't end on a good note in my opinion.
Being a fan of Carl Webber I decided to give this book a chance. I completed the book in two days. I had to know what was going to happen. This book could be a Lifetime movie. Ashlee is a spoiled, southern belle who doesn't have any limitations. Jay is a player that gets caught up with the wrong girl. I wish the ending could have been different. Something about this book hints to a sequel!
The book arrived in great condition--my only comment is that the delivery time is TOO long.
I loce Carl Weber's book but this one was not one of my favorite. It was an interesting read, gripping as usual but happenings were too convenient. A bit unrealistic at times but the perfect set up for a sequel at the end.
FromNew York Timesbestselling authors Carl Weber and Mary B. Morrison comes this powerful, unforgettable novel about the ultimate player who has finally run into the wrong woman...

After a rocky marriage, irresistibly seductive Jay Crawford is ready for a new woman--and a new challenge. It doesn't take him long to discover both in one fine package: Ashlee Anderson. With a face and body that scream sex, she's just what he's looking for--hard-to-get, feisty, and freaky. But he'd never suspect just how freaky...

Ashlee turns out to be every bit as sexy as Jay suspected. What should've been a one-night stand extends into months of lovemaking that's too hot to give up and designed to burn him like never before. For Ashlee has no intention of letting their relationship ever end. Now Jay is in over his head with a woman who will go to any lengths to possess him. Trouble is, Ashlee's psycho behavior turns him on like nothing else. Maybe they're both crazy. But when Ashlee makes a shocking confession, Jay knows she definitely ain't the one and he's got to get away from her before she completely destroys his life...

(A Good Read!)

(5 Kisses, TwoLips Reviews)

(Read this one wearing oven mitts!)

(Not your typical erotic romance.)

(Eh, it was OK.)

While The Fortune Hunter is not a perfect book, it's still a pretty good one. For one thing, the romance is burning hot but never crosses the line into ick territory. The author maintains focus on the appealing main couple while introducing other interesting characters (Trinity and Josie) that will undoubtedly appear in future books. This is hard to do well--too often the other characters 1)are annoying or 2)steal the show. Haynes avoids both romance series pitfalls. One thing that kept this book from five stars was Connor. I always felt distanced from him, like he could have been more fully fleshed out. Faith, on the other hand, is a great character: a super-rich, kindly, and insecure K5 teacher who doesn't make her bed, has weekly facials and massages, and longs for a baby. I can't wait to read Trinity's book next!
Faith Castle is a lonely heiress who loves her job as a kindergarten teacher. She's worried she'll never have children of her own. She lives in Silicon Valley, where it's a vicious social circle of haves and have nots, and they're all a bunch of cheating adulterers.

Connor Kingston is a man who came from nothing, and he wants his future children to have a better life than he had. He approaches Faith with a proposition: marriage, absolute fidelity and monogamy, no pain or humiliation, the children she wants, a caring father, and a good solid prenuptial agreement. In exchange, she will convince her father to let him run the company, and will give him whatever wild and kinky sex he wants, as often as he wants. Although he doesn't love her, he definitely desires her, and that's more than she would have expected. His honesty is refreshing, so she accepts his outlandish proposal.

Faith discovers that Connor isn't the opportunistic mercenary manipulator he appears to be. Orphaned and alone in the world, he learned early on that you can't rely on others to give you what you need - you have to get it for yourself. It's easy for Faith to fall in love with a man like that. But will he ever love her back?

I love the way Connor treats Faith right from the beginning. He's honest about not being in love, so it's not like he's being a weasel and lying to her. He treats her with respect and even affection, and he has no shortage of genuine desire for her.

Faith is terrified of what Connor makes her feel, because without the security of love he has the power to take it all away from her. Because she hasn't known him very long, her reluctance is understandable. At the same time, her willingness to try and trust him is admirable.

Both characters are very likeable and intelligent, and the heat between them could melt polar icecaps. I love to see how Faith blossoms as a result of her growing confidence. Everything about this book is fantastic. I loved the author's voice and the pace kept me interested throughout. The Fortune Hunter by Jasmine Haynes is very highly recommended for anyone who likes a really good, spicy contemporary romance.

hothotHOT!! I loved everything about this book! Ms. Haynes knows how to grab readers and not let them go until the very last word. Definitely a keeper!
When it comes to erotic romance Jasmine Haynes sets the standard. Her characters are so very real and believable. The sex is hot and sizzling but never meaningless, and this her latest story is no exception. The plot of The Fortune Hunter (wealthy heiress meets fortune hunter) seemed more suited for a historical romance so I was pleasantly surprised at just how well it worked in a contempory setting.

Faith is the type of heroine that almost anyone can identify with. She's a very nice, normal sized woman who also happens to be a little insecure about her looks, and as a result doesn't always realize her own worth.

Connor as the not-quite reformed bad boy is the perfect hero and proves the old adge to be true that reformed bad boys make the best husbands. He's the kind of man who knows what he wants and goes after it, in spite of the fact that he doesn't believe in love it's very obvious that he quickly falls in love with his delightful new wife...

The Fortune Hunter isn't at all like your typical erotic romance, instead it's a hot, sweet, and very tender love story that will leave you believing in ever after long after the story ends.......

The trilogy continues with Show And Tell Coming July 2008 and Games People Play 2009
It was good, don't get me wrong. But the blurb I read that sold the book for me is kind of different than what actually goes on in the book.

"She has only one caveat: she requires his absolute fidelity. But her randy fiance wants to be free to come and go."

That made it sound like that he wanted to have any and as many lovers as he pleased, but in actuality, he just wants an active love life with his wife.

The constant sex started to get a little old for my tastes, but I've always liked more angst and romance than what the book contained, so that's not the book's fault.

But I did enjoy reading it all in all, but it's probably not a keeper.
A bold and sexy new proposition from the author ofOpen Invitation-and fans won't be able to resist.

It appears that insecure heiress Faith Castle's dreams of having a baby are close to coming true. She's finally been proposed to! But Connor Kingston happens to be as honest as he is handsome, making plain that his offer is purely a career move. A marriage of convenience is far from romantic, but Faith agrees- after all, she's getting what she wants as well. She has only one caveat: she requires his absolute fidelity. But her randy fiancŽ wants to be free to come and go. What transpires is the sexiest and most unpredictable love story of the season.
