Genre: Contemporary Romantica eBook
Copyright: March 2005
Series: Part 7 of the ongoing Bound Hearts Series
Pages: 147 (Adobe Reader)
Sensuality: NC-17
Grade: C
Reason for Reading: Just because.
Content warnings: Anal sex, Menage
Plot: What plot? Okay, foine. Ian Sinclair, the owner of The Club, an exclusive society of overgrown frat boys members who like to share their partners and one of its biggest proponents, finally gets his just desserts. Loads of previous characters from the series cameo. Probably best to start with at least Book 4 or Book 5 of the series.
Ramblings: Well, if you read Lora Leigh, you have seen Ian’s alpha male routine before. He pretty much beats his chest throughout the story grunting ‘Me, Tarzan. You, innocent Jane, who cannot handle my depraved style of Wild Jungle Love. Go back to civilization before I lose all self-control and my loincloth.’ Ian seemed a little more suave in previous episodes but I guess Leigh can only do one type of hero. The dragging-knuckles-on-the-floor kind.
Lora Leigh has 749,926 series going on currently, or maybe it’s just 12. I lost count. Her Breed Series is the only series of hers that I read for the stories and plot. All the others, I read just for the smut.
I think the problem in regards to the Bound Hearts is that the formula for this series (Boy Meets Girl, Boy/Girl dance around each other, Boy/Girl do menage near the end) seem especially obvious and stale in novella form which is the length of the majority of these stories. I thought Book 8 Forbidden Pleasures was the best of the series because it was the only full-length novel so far and dealt within a marriage so that’s the book I recommend if you want to try this series. I also liked Book 5 Sacrifice better out of the 3.5 books I have read of this series.

Thanks for the review it was good, and elicited a few snorts of laughter!

Hello there!
Thanks for stopping by.
You know, looking at the cover, I forgot to mention that maybe some Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask
might help with those blackheads. Oh well.

Have I ever told you how much I lurve you???? It’s your fault–and Kat’s–that I’m addicted to LL, even if some of it rates low on quality.
I’ll only read this for the hot alpha sex then… and wasn’t Ian in Dangerous Games as the bar owner, or am I mixing alpha’s up?
**************************************************************
Yay for Hot! Alpha Sex!
Enjoy!
About Dangerous Games, darn if I dont remember if that was this Ian in there. I did mention that I read the other series just for the smut, right?
I heart you, too.

OMG this cracked me up! I love Lora Leigh’s Breed series b/c it works both ways but your so right about tarzan and innocent My God she uses that in every book *g*
Good review I won’t be reading this one though!
Great review! So much fun to read. Don’t think I’ll read this book, but I have liked a couple of hers.
