ARC Review
One taste of everything she ever wanted…how can she walk away?
Julianne’s the epitome of a successful businesswoman. But where her boardroom reality is full of decisions, her bedroom fantasy is the exact opposite—allowing a lover who knows what he’s doing to strip her of the need to make any decisions at all.
When she reads an ad for Paolo’s Playhouse, her long-ignored need twists inside her, too sharp to ignore. Trembling, she picks up the phone, and Paolo’s charm, lyrical accent and empathy soothe her fear just enough to agree to be the Playhouse’s bondage toy. One look at Paolo the following night, and she wishes she’d struck a different bargain. To be his alone.
Paolo can’t take his eyes off the brave and beautiful woman with hair like the fire he sees in her soul. Her sexual need to be bound matches his own powerful need to be the one to bind her. Tonight and always.
Except Julianne agreed to only one perfect night. Now he must convince her it could be the first night of many for them—if only she will trust him.
Warning: Features a sexy Italian whose lyrical voice can charm or command, whose sensual hands can stroke or spank. Stop by the Playhouse and live out your fantasies!
THANK YOU Natasha Moore for writing Paolo’s story. After meeting him in the first book, I was intrigued by his mysterious personality and that voice……..sigh. This is a beautiful cover too. IMO it truly captures his essence. I know I’ve said this before, but I want a Paolo’s Playhouse in my town! Can you imagine a place where all your sexual fantasies can come true? Sign me up for a weekly appointment.
Juilanne needs certain…things in the bedroom to satisfy her needs. She wants to be tied up and I know you’re thinking that’s not so bad, she should be able to find someone who is willing to grant her this little fantasy. Well, she had a not so good experience where the guy freaked when she asked him to tie her to the bedpost, so she’s been scared to bring it up with any of her lovers since. Sad thing is, she’s miserable and discontented. Good thing she saw an ad for Paolo’s Playhouse and takes the first step towards having all of her fantasies come to life.
Paolo is sex on a stick and enough to drive any sane woman crazy with lust. He’s such a sweet and caring man, but at the same time extremely commanding. He proves he knows his way around the Playhouse, which only makes him that much more sexy. Once he sets sights on Julianne it’s impossible to let anyone else in the club “service” her. I loved the immediate connection they have, when you know they are made for each other.
This is a great, fast read that brings the series full circle with the owner of the playhouse getting his much deserved HEA. Ms. Moore knows how to pack a short story with charming characters, fantastic writing, and smokin’ hot sex. My only complaint and it’s been the same with each book. I wanted more.
I loved this series and is a must read for all who enjoy erotic romance at its best.
