Lydia's Review
All you have to say is Lora Leigh and I am all over the book. Normally, I love everything she writes and I love this series, but with this book I have mixed feelings. Intense Pleasure is about CIA operative Summer, who is basically burned out from her job and walks away for a normal life. The two heroes in this story, Raeg and Falcon, both want her and when they find out that she is in danger - it gives them the opening they need to move in on her.
Now this book had hot sex and suspense which is a trademark for this series. It's also two of the things that make me love it. As far as character development goes I wasn't completely sold on it. I really wanted to see Summer as a real kicka*s heroine, but I feel like she fell short of the mark.
Falcon came across as the weaker of the two men. Normally with a ménage story you have one man that is the stern, brooding type and one man that is the softer, more romantic type. I would have loved to see just a little more strength from Falcon. Now Raeg is the one that rubbed me the wrong way. He came across as a bit of a harda*s to me as far as Summer was concerned and I felt like she just kept taking it instead of putting him in his place at least once.
So I'm basically on the fence with this. Do I wish we had been given a little bit more in this story? Yes. But Lora does give us enough of the hot sex and suspense to draw the story out.
Intense Pleasure could be considered a standalone, but me, personally, I would read previous books the fully understand this story.
