The Pleasures Chest: HAPPY FRIDAY!

Hot in Here

Hot in Here by Sophie Renwick

My rating: 5 of 5 stars Bryce Ryder is a celebrity chef who finds himself in a not so favorable light after a magazine interview. He turns to his friend Jenna who does PR. Jenna's always had a thing for Bryce and she's decided that she's finally going to let Bryce know how she feels. Bryce on the other hand likes sex with no strings because of a previous bad relationship. Bryce is gorgeous, wealthy and loves to have a rail thin blonde on his arm, and rarely the same one. Jenna is the typical girl next door, at least it seems that way. She goes after Bryce at first then plays hard to get knowing if he thinks she's after a committment he'll run. Bryce is a little confused at first about his feelings for his long time friend but then realizes his true feelings for her. Things get really hot and steamy. I really enjoyed this book. Well written, good story line and sexy as hell. Great read. You don't have to enjoy cooking to like this book but it makes you appreciate food a hell of a lot more. View all my reviews >>

Kiss and Tell

Kiss and Tell by Sandy Lynn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars Willow is out with her sister and friends. She had a bad day and to get her sister off her back, she agrees to play a game-boxers or briefs. Willow has to chose a stranger at the bar and ask him a series of intimate personal questions. She picks a muscular hunk that walks in who happens to be a vampire. Seth is shocked when Willow sits on his lap and amused when she asks her questions. Then it gets more interesting when she kisses him. I loved this book! I read some reviews before I purchased it and many weren't great. I don't let bad reviews dictate what I purchase and I'm glad I went with my gut on this one. This is one of those books that you can sit and relax and just enjoy. Seth is charming, tender, sweet and very hot. Sex was frequent and sensual in this book and there's a great chemistry between the two characters. I recommend this book. View all my reviews >>

Tempted

Tempted by Megan Hart

My rating: 5 of 5 stars Anne and James have been happily married for six years. James’ best friend from high school, Alex, sells his company and James offers to have Alex stay with him and Anne for the summer. Anne is attracted to Alex and soon Anne has two gorgeous men in her bed, with her husband's consent. It takes us through Anne's growth, including sexual explorations but not just based on those alone. There are real emotions and it makes us see and understand life and the complexities of love and marriage. I expected something slightly different but this is not the regular run-of-the-mill erotica novel. It’s much more. I should have known what to expect because Megan Hart writes with such a great understanding of ove and relationships. Definitely recommend. View all my reviews >>
