The story continues with Marty and Khalid. Marty is changing, coming into her own and is not taking a backseat to what Khalid wants. She is strong and asserting her will, to heck with the consequences. Khalid and Shane are just trying to protect Marty from Khalid’s brothers and Khalid is afraid of what Marty will do if she learns the truth of his past. Will she stay with him? Shane is trying to help Khalid see that he needs to tell Marty the truth. He also seems to be asserting himself to claim an equal partnership with regards to Marty and is not satisfied being their third. Will he stay in the relationship or will Khalid want Marty for his own? The storyline is picking up in intensity. The action is all-pervading and the passion is burning hotter leaving the reader breathlessly anticipating the release of the final part bringing with it the conclusion to the unanswered questions.
I volunteered to read an arc for a review from the publisher via Netgalley.
How far would you go to find out the truth? Marty feels closer to Khalid and Shayne but she knows that they are hiding something and she won't let it go. Khalid knows that he will have to tell her eventually but he just wants her to be safe from his mad family, Shayne keeps on pushing for him to be honest with Marty but he knows that if he says something that they will lose the one woman that they both want.
Will Marty find what she needs to know or will it destroy them anyways?
A great second part to the book. I received a copy via Netgalley and the publishing house in exchange for my honest thoughts.
Part two resumes right where we left off in part one. Khalid has finally accepted the inevitable and given into Marty's seduction. He knows she is now in danger with his half brothers by acknowledging her so he has invited a third to their relationship. Shayne has worked with Marty in the past and is in the CIA. What better man to help protect Marty.
I have to admit that despite the danger Marty is in, part two has been pretty comical. It just shows how stupid some men can be. Marty is an FBI agent and Khalid and Shayne are trying to keep her in the dark and protect her like the little woman they are treating her. Only Marty is proving that she is more than capable to face the danger head on. We end part two with Khalid realizing he can't make her stand down and let him handle everything. To be continued in part three.

Marty and Khalid's story continues, The sexual tension becomes more and they can't resist each other. While Khalid is now trying to protect Marty she wont' hear of it and they are going back and forth. They can't resist each other as well as having another involved in their relationship.
Shayne is a CIA agent who works with Khalid and is his third in the relationship. Not only is he there to help protect Marty but to help satisfy her.
This is a three part series and you will need books 2 and 3 to follow this ends in a cliffhanger.

The story continues with Khalid and Marty and just keeps getting better and better with all of the twists and turns. If you enjoy a hot, sexy read with suspense and great chemistry between the characters, this is a must read. Lora Leigh writes a great story with the right amount of sexiness and suspense to keep you turning pages. Part three releases a week after this book is published, so you won't have to wait long for the final book. If you want to read the entire novel in one sitting, the full length novel is also available for your reading pleasure. This is a definite must read.
Previously released as a full length novel and one I highly recommend.
Awesome!! I loved the passion between Khalid and Marty. And Shane is the perfect third for these two. Marty keeps her cool even though she is being targeted making you fall in love with her just a little more.
Marty Mathews is a good agent and she better be her father and godfather are very powerful men in the FBI and the senate. Marty has been tailing Khalid for two years and in love with him longer than that but Khalid doesn't have a single women of his own he is a "third" in a exclusive club her parents and godfather belong to. Marty has just been pulled off the assignment and allowed to have a month vacation. What is she gonna do with a month off she is going to get Khalid to see her as a woman the problem is he sees her alright but he is afraid other people will to. Khalid has just been told his danger is gunning for him and Marty is in the line of fire. It leaves you hanging but in a good way but you can wait for the next one.
'Guilty Pleasure: Part 2 by Lora Leigh continues the story of Khalid and Marty. You will have to have read the previous book 'Guilty Pleasure Part 1 to full enjoy this book Also note that this was previously released and available as a full-length novel, Guilty Pleasure is now available as a three-part series. This does also deal with some hot sexual issues. So if you like hot books this one is for you!
Part two continues where Part 1 leaves off and has some great character development. Our characters stay true to form with their internal hangups and Khalid is doing his best to hide things and mess up their relationship. The love scenes are HOT and have progressed into the menage settings that this series is known for.
As part of the FBI Marty has been following Khalid but when he's cleared she free to pursue him for other reasons......but the neither is ready for the blaze of heat and passion.
Part 2 picks up right where part 1 left off. Marty and Khalid's relationship starts to build in not only intensity but in attraction. Steamy sexiness brought into with the addition of the third.
I have read the first book but I didn't feel it was right for my blog and I struggled to follow what was happening throughout the book.
So the saga continues with Khalid and Marty! Shayne has proven himself it seems in this book that he is well worth being chosen as the third within the relationship. I know that you can get the book in the full novel format. What I love that the publisher/author have done is break the book up into three parts. They end each book so far at the right moment. Right when you know something significant is about to happen. But that is okay. That is how it has to work. Now for part 3 to get the conclusion.
I gave Part 2 a 5 star rating. I know with the first part it was a 4. So here is the reason why. Marty has become bolder. The book has changed for the better. There are more dynamics between each characters. The family of Marty's come out in their roles better. Shayne and Khalid discuss their differences. I believe Shayne no longer wants to be just a third in Marty's and Khalid's relationship. I feel it is progressing to where he wants to be an equal in the near future. But those are my thoughts. Not sure if that will happen.
So yes, the story seems to have gotten stronger. I feel like my attention has been held through and through in part 2. Don't get me wrong, part one was great but it was just the beginning. Now we are getting into more passion, danger, and emotions. I am rooting for these three characters! Now to get with the conclusion of the story with part 3!! My question is will Shayne stay in this relationship? Or will Khalid only want Marty? I am so curious to find out what is next! Will we know if it is true that Khalid's past if putting them in danger. Time to read on to the next book and find out!
I was super excited to read Khalid's story. The fact that these two have been in forbidden love with one another without the other knowing was just icing on the cake.
It's a tragic story that is beautiful and beautifully written and with such a strong heroine as her leading man. This is quite the series and I love every word of it. I simply cannot get enough.
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Overall a good story, but a little frustrating that it is in three parts. I did enjoy the writing and the basic characters, but the angst and mistrust got a little trying towards the end. Would recommend, but know that it is the continuous story within all three of the books.
this is a fantastic story with amazing characters. I love all the twists and turns within the story. This book is definitely a hot and steamy read. This book is available in 3 separate parts but it is definitely best read all at once. The story builds and builds till the end with a fantastic ending. I was left wanting and needing more. I loved everything about this story, the romance, hot steamy chemistry, twists and turns and the action. This author just keeps getting better and better the more I read, cant wait for more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book
Guilty Pleasure: Part 2 by Lora Leigh takes place right after the first book ended. Questions are answered, secrets are revealed, both Khalid and Marty finally admit their long lost love for one another! I must say this series will knock your socks off. I am in desperate need of a fan ASAP! The storyline definitely kept me on my toes till the very end. Cant wait to start part 3.
Marty no longer has to follow Khalid, so she is free to follow her heart. Khalid has known that Marty has been following him and has kept his distance from her. Now that his name is cleared he no longer has to hold back. I've been waiting for Khalid's book and I was not disappointed
Previously released and available as a full-length novel, Guilty Pleasure is now available as a three-part e-serial for those who want to savor the pleasure…
FBI Agent Marty Matthews has been assigned to follow the only man she has ever lusted for ...Khalid. Unknown to anyone except herself and her father, who happens to be the head of the FBI, Khalid is working undercover. Needless to say, she never finds anything that would point to him as a terrorist.
When Khalid’s name is cleared, Marty is no longer forced to follow the man she so desperately desires. And once the chains are thrown off their blaze of heat, passion will rule completely…
But Khalid's past is catching up with him ... and he will do anything to protect Marty from the fallout.
They split this book into thirds (ironically) so the reader needs to be aware of cliffhangers with some things not solved.
Contains explicit sexual language and intimate moments.
I wish to thank the author / St. Martin's Press / Netgalley for the digital copy. Any opinion expressed here is unbiased and entirely my own.
I have been waiting impatiently on Kahlid's story and now we finally have it. He's charming, handsome, somewhat mysterious, and always a third...until now. We'd seen glimpses of Marty in earlier books in the series, but fully meeting her was a pleasure. She is a bad ass. Strong, not a pushover, and stubborn almost to a fault, she finally goes after what she's wanted for years...Kahlid. Wow, when they hook up the sparks are off the charts hot. Add the mysterious Shayne to the mix and the heat factor goes out of control. What I love most about these books is that you get a lot of hot, hot sex, but there's a story there, too. The characters are easy to fall in love with and I can't wait for more in this series.
