SIMPLY PLEASURE by Kate Pearce

This was a very simple book to read.  There was not really anything that had me excited about it, it was just a story about two men who needed each other to survive.

Val Sokorvsky has a lot of anger inside of him.  After spending ten years as a sex slave in a Turkish brothel; he was saved and brought back home to England.  Feeling ashamed of what he had become, Val pushes everyone away but the one person who went through it all with him, Peter.

Now Peter wants to leave him and Val would do anything to prevent that from happening.

Peter Howard was on the same ship as Val when it was attached.  Unlike Val, who remembers everything, Peter was left with a big hole in his memory.  Now that both him and Val were rescued from the Brothel he does not know what exactly to do with himself.

Whoring himself is all what he knows how to do.  He wants distance himself from Val to find himself, but Val convinces him to stay.

Now years later, Peter still does not know who he is and living in the shadows of Val is making him go down a destructive path.  Can Val save him before it's too late?  Find out in Simply Pleasure.

As I've said before this book was okay, but not exciting.  First I felt sorry for the both of them but then I got fed up.  I understood why Val acts the way he does but after three years, can't he get it into his head that his father loves him.

And Peter allowed himself to depend on Val to such an extent that he cannot live without him.  He resents that about himself and instead of leaving, he stays and chooses to destroy himself.

Val did the right thing in the end and Peter finally got some back bone, but this story could have been a little more interesting and exciting in some way.

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

THE HIGHLAND HENCHMAN by Amy Jarecki

After reading "The Angel and the Warrior" I really needed a book to pick me up and I am so glad that this book did just the trick.  The only thing that irked me was that the heroine in this book upset me greatly. Needing royal assistance, Baron Ross issued a tournament to enchant the Highlanders to leave their land and come to the Lowlands to take part.  What he really wanted was for the Highlanders to fight a dangerous battle that would get most of them killed. After the tournament the Highland Lairds choose instead to entrust their best warriors to stay and fight. This was not exactly what Baron Ross wanted but he knew that he could not change their mind so he accepted. Bran MacLeod was one of the warriors that was left behind, and even though he did not like it, he knew that he can never go against his Laird.  It did not help matters that their was a dangerous instant attraction between him and the baron's last daughter.  Bran knows that getting involved ...
