This is the third part of Guilty Pleasure – the conclusion.

I liked that Shayne was more of the story this time. He still felt a little out of place, because the emotions and the intimation was that Khalid and Marty were the true couple and Shayne was just the third person that got to play with them. I wish that he was more a part of the relationship.

Overall, this was a satisfactory conclusion. I liked that Marty was able to get Khalid to open up more.

I wish we had learned more about Marty's old boss – he played a key role in this story - revealing a truth that Khalid was trying to avoid. I would have liked to see more of a resolution to this aspect, since it makes such an appearance throughout the series.

This story had a lot of pieces moving – there was the hiding from the brothers, but then daring them to make a move, falling more in love with each other, the story is fast paced and constantly moving.

The conclusion was both predictable and satisfactory. I liked how it ended, but wished for more of a conclusion for Khalid. Maybe in the next book, the question of his father and other brother will be answered. But overall, this was a good ending and everyone was where they should be, with who they should be with.

Khalid and Shayne are trying to protect Marty from Khalid's brothers. But because of what Marty's job is, how headstrong she is, and who her parents are, she's not letting them. She knows that something is up, but can't figure it out without revealing that she's been snooping where she shouldn't be.

Khalid is scared of the truth and doesn't believe that Marty would stay with him if she knew. I'm not sure if the truth will really be revealed, I feel like we're watching this story without all of the facts and sometimes it's frustrating.

Shayne is doing his best to show Khalid that it's going to be okay for him to tell Marty the truth. I feel like he's the third wheel more so in this story because, despite his best efforts, neither Khalid or Marty really listen to him.

This is a good continuation from book one, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions.

M/F Romance with some M/F/M hints
Triggers: Covert operations, attempted murder, power exchange

Khalid is a power-hungry lover. He wants to protect those around him with a conviction that a lot of men don't possess. He is trying to fight back the demons that he has that are following him from his past. His family is complicated to say the least, and horribly corrupt to say the most. He has few friends he trusts, but is working for the FBI in order to help stop terrorist attacks.

Marty is assigned to follow Khalid. She is a well-trained, strong-willed woman, who won't take any crap from anyone. She is protected fiercely by her fathers and mother. Despite her having to gather intel on Khalid for a boss she rather dislikes, her storyline is interesting. She has been in love with Khalid for as long as she can remember and essentially throws herself at him.

Their chemistry is somewhat stunted by Khalid's inability to connect on a level other than physical. I actually had a difficult time picturing Marty with him because she seems so different – she seems to be much more developed and connected.

Overall, this is a great beginning and I can't wait to see what happens.

This was a long, drawn out story. I haven't read the books in the series in order, but you don't really need to with this book. Despite the complexity of the story, you never really felt that you didn't know what was going on.

Summer's life is threatened by a Russian boss – Falcone and Raeg search her out to ensure that she remains unharmed. Their relationship with Summer is complex, strange, hidden, and from afar, all wrapped in to one.

Falcone is the more laid back of the two brothers. He has understood Summer and his desire/need for her for a while. What he doesn't know is whether or not he can walk away from her when the time comes. He knows, with his family history, that if he shows any weakness, it poses a threat to Summer – she is his weakness.

Then you have Raeg. He was definitely the more complex of the brothers. Hiding his feelings, suppressing them to the point where all he can do is push people away. He has lost someone in the past and knows that Summer would be in danger from their father, if she were to become a permanent part of their lives. However, he is becoming less and less able to hide his desires.

I thought that Summer was very fierce at the beginning and seeing her personality change when she was finally able to go home – that was somewhat strange, but a good change for her. The parties, I thought, were somewhat frivolous and unnecessary. I think that her family was well equipped to scare Falcone and Raeg off with their own ways.

I thought that Summer and Raeg had more chemistry and that the sex between the three of them was definitely hot. That being said, their relationship was not really developed that well. It was surface only. Even with the big reveal at the end, you never really got to see the relationship between the three of them develop in to a real relationship.

I fell in love with this series back before it morphed into Bound Hearts. The men and women we read about all have complex natures and none more than Summer.

Summer is tired of living the life of an agent and of being nothing more than an irritant to Raeg and a toy to Falcon. Neither of the men seem to want her enough to bring her to their bed, either individually or together, nor do they seem to want to let her out of their sight. She wants to go home, to become the Summer of old, and to find a place to ease her soul. Doing so is not as easy as it would seem, as both Raeg and Falcon are determined to keep her in DC with them.

Falcon and Raeg both want Summer, but Raeg has been traumatized by an act that has left him damaged and unable to show his love. Falcon doesn't believe that the same thing would happen again, but there is no convincing Raeg of that fact. But now that Summer's life is danger from another faction, Raeg can't deny his feelings for Summer even though being with her could cost her his life. Falcon's feelings are more obvious and less threatening to Summer, while Raeg's intensity both scares and exhilarates her.

Once again, another great story of love and intrigue from Ms. Leigh.


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is one sizzling hot read. If you like a lot of tension, and a lot of super hot tension relievers, then this is for you!

It is part of a series, and I do think that it makes a lot more sense if you have the background to this trio's work and the tension between them. The situation is explained, but obviously not all the details. I think that knowing how tough Summer has been would make the difference when she is home, much stronger. So my advice would be to read at least a few books earlier than this one if you can – I promise it is no hardship!

There is so much angst between Summer, Falcon, and Raeg, and then unbelievable heat, followed by danger, and all manner of family complications. I loved the scenes between the men and Summer's father. I spent a lot of the book rather nervous that things were a bit precarious, and I did not see the ending coming at all – which made it even better than I had hoped.

I am looking forward to having the time to reread the series and know this will be a real treat at the end (for now).
