Pleasure Bound - Anne Rainey
A Review for The Romance Reviews.

This is what erotic romance is supposed to be. PLEASURE BOUND has a great love story, interesting plot, and sizzling love scenes that will melt your um...socks off! ;)

From the moment he met her five years ago, Jonas Phoenix knew that his best friend's little sister, Deanna Harrison, would change his life forever. Now, he's tired of playing around and he's ready to make her his.

Deanna has wanted Jonas from the time she met him, but she doesn't know if she can put up with his playboy ways. Jonas won't take no for an answer though, and he asks her to give them a chance by taking a weekend getaway to Miami. Deanna throws caution to the wind and says yes, but by the end of the weekend realizes that their relationship is much more serious than she ever anticipated.

Whew, this was a hot book. Jonas and Deanna seemed to have great chemistry from the moment they met. It surprised me that it took them five years to get it together, but there you have it. Once they did get together though...oh boy!

I loved how Deanna reduced Jonas to a Neanderthal at every turn. This man took pride in the fact that he was so controlled but when he got around her, he ended up essentially saying "me man, you woman"! It was great!

My only complaint about the story was that part of the plot that was supposed to build the danger and suspense didn't really start until the last half of the book. I thought that I would have been more engaged in that part of the plot if it had been introduced earlier. It felt a bit rushed to me.

Otherwise though, I thought PLEASURE BOUND was sweet, hot, and really kept me interested. The book is connected to another book, So Sensitive, featuring Deanna's older brother and Jonas' best friend. I definitely want to read that one as well.
