Book Reviews of Naked HeartBook Review: Better than hot Summary: 5 Stars
OK, so I bought this book for two reasons. 1. Reading about it is the next best thing. 2. It's by Jennifer Fulton and it's the first book she's written that's described as an 'erotic romance'. Hot damn! This author writes VERY good sex scenes, so I was all set for a super-size serving!
Being a fan of Ms. Fulton's, I should have realized that I wasn't going to get a book with nothing but hot and heavy action on every page. Make no mistake, the sex is definitely mouth-watering, but I can't think of any other erotic romance that also includes an espionage plot as good as this one, not to mention an intense, emotional roller coaster ride for the characters. Penn and Unity transcend, by far, the paper thin characters that make more than a few lesbian romances feel like the same book.
I didn't expect to like Naked Heart as much as some of the softer romances written by Ms. Fulton. I was a bit put off by the idea of BDSM, but there is no explicit BDSM content, it's more of a tease, such as in a voyeurism scene late in the book that had me about ready to pass out. Here's an author that understands anticipation is a big part of sexual excitement and she makes sure to take her readers on that dance. Maybe not everyone will agree, but one thing I love about this book, and what I found to be very erotic, was knowing that Ms. Fulton CAN write down and dirty sex but she only goes all the way when she chooses. There are plenty of times when you're hanging out for it while you're reading (well, I was) but she makes you wait! Gotta love that.
Naked Heart has a great plot, fascinating characters, sizzling sex scenes, beautiful language and passionate 'love at first sight' that is actually believable. Ms Fulton makes all of this look so easy, it's tempting to think that writing a romance must be a piece of cake. Well, I've been trying and I can honestly say, I have a new respect for the authors who are true mistresses of this genre and have proven it time after time - Jennifer Fulton is one of them.
I hope she decides to write another erotic romance. She sure nailed it with this one.
Summary of Naked HeartCan two women who trust no one take a risk and trust each other?
Ex-CIA agent Penn Harte normally makes a living selling her unusual skills to the highest bidder, but lately she's been doing a favor for her best friend Lila and overseeing Lila's businesses-running an upscale fetish club and making erotic movies. Penn has the dirty job of looking after Lila's new stars, identical twin Dommes, Chloe and Colette. They're such a distraction, she almost declines her next real job but the guy writing the checks makes an offer she can't refuse. It's money for nothing. All she has to do is get some serious dirt on the CEO of a biotech. research company, so she can be blackmailed. Unity Vaughan is a cautious, lonely lesbian, the perfect subject for seduction and entrapment. Penn figures she'll have her on film in a compromising position within days.
Born on the wrong side of the tracks, raised by a single mother, Unity Vaughan has fought for everything she's ever achieved. Now, having just made a breakthrough discovery that has frightening ramifications for biological warfare, she knows she is a target and is determined to get ahead of the game. She needs an expert to watch her back and spy on her enemies, which is how she finds herself in a bizarre nightclub trying to hire a person who comes highly recommended. But Penn Harte is not the washed-up spy Unity was expecting. She's 5'9" of lethally attractive woman with a flogger in one hand, a camera in the other, and a pair of corseted twins fondling her body.
Power, passion, sex, and danger drive a high-stakes plot in this compelling erotic romance.
