I can't say enough about Guilty Pleasure. Part 3 was as great as part 1 and 2. There is so much sizzle and passion in all three books! Could not put them down. I highly recommend.
Super hot conclusion….
I think the author split this book into three parts because she was worried all that heat in one spot could cause fires! Whew, the passion and sexiness between Khalid and Marty reached new highs as they argued and loved their way through the many problems they have. Well, a few big ones really and one of them could get them both killed…
Marty’s independence and Khalid’s need to keep her safe is a conversation that doesn’t get old. They argue, deflect, smooth over and work through it by a lot of arguing, a bit of yelling, and indulging in intimacy that strengthen their emotional and physical bonds. Still uncertain at times but never wavering from their feelings for each other, they are finally able to let all the emotions, the truths out in the open…
Strong characters, a suspenseful storyline and passion to spare, love is the game and everyone won!
I read an advanced copy of this book. This is the 3rd book and I could not get enough. I actually had to hold my breath when the killer was near. I knew someone was going to die. I can't say more cause I don't want to ruin the book. A definite must read.
Received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.
After years of fighting their attraction to one another, Khalid and Marty are finally getting their chance. Khalid has been a figure in several of these Bound Hearts book and I've been waiting to see if/when he was going to meet his match in the woman he always wanted but felt he could never have. Marty can hold her own. As an FBI agent, she's got a curious streak a mile long that's only matched by her stubborn streak. I also loved that she was the child of two club members...it gives a glimpse of what's to come for her/Khalid/Shayne.
There were a few things missing from this book that I really wished Leigh had added - more about Marty's family and their make up, more about Deerfield and his issues with Marty, and more after the final scene. This one felt like it ended VERY abruptly...which made me sad after all the build up.
Final segment of this sizzling hot story! Definitely a page turner! I didn't want it to end...
Explosive and well worth the wait! :) I love this series!
FINALLY we get all the answers that we have been waiting for.
This has been a steamy read and after the slow start of the first book it definitely picked up pace. This final installment of the three parts moves at a much quicker pace and there is a lot going on.
I loved Marty and I hope to see more women like her in future books, strong, determined, and focused, she was far from a wilting flower. She showed a lot of strength not only in her career but also in her personal life. The chemistry was great between Khalid, Marty, and Shayne.
Agent Marty Mathews has had it bad for Khalid El Hamid--Mustafa since she was 15 and didn’t know what that even meant. For the past 2 years she’s been tailing Khalid as an FBI agent. Now that she’s off the case, she can finally work out her plan to seduce him!
Anyone whose read any of Lora Leigh’s first Bound Hearts books has already met Khalid and has anxiously wanted to read his book. I was very happy that it didn’t disappoint. Although I typically don’t like reading books (or series as the case is here) where one of the main characters was in sexual situations with someone other than their HEA, the scorching series is written in such a way that I have no problem with it. The author has a way of writing strong females with good moral who are a perfect match to the strong males they fall for. I loved reading about Khalid and Marty. I’m glad that the series was re-released giving me a chance to read this. I highly recommend.
Oh Lora Leigh how you do the things you do I will never know but.....I will always read it because its GREAT!
This is the part three of this book and it is going to get real. Secrets are out, pleasure has been had and now it is time to see if love is enough to keep this relationship going.
I voluntarily read this book for my honest review because I loved it!!!
Great conclusion to this series! I really enjoyed this - the action, suspense and drama were fantastic and the steamy scenes were so hot! I can't wait to read more by this author!
Final installment of Guilty Pleasure...
Khalid finally opens up and shares his dark past with Marty. Khalid wants to protect Marty at any cost but Marty won’t allow. She wants to be equal partner to Khalid and she is sure she can protect herself while his stepbrothers are on the move.
However, their happiness is short lived when they are faced with danger.
Still there were some unanswered questions at the end.
But it was definitely a guilty pleasure read...
This was third and final instalment of the three parts that make up the full novel Guilty Pleasure. I really enjoyed the story and loved the characters. Would definitely look to get another book by this author in the future - highly recommended - 5 stars.
This book had so much potential but it just seemed to fall flat to me. I had a hard time connecting with the characters, which for a Lora Leigh book is odd for me!! I did really like Marty's attitude. I also liked the way her and Khalid interact, along with their third. I'm not really sure why certain parts of the story took so long to resolve and it just seemed to be drawn out when there was no need to be. The sex scenes were extremely HOT! But that is a given with a Lora Leigh book and can always be depended on! But then the ending just seemed to be extremely abrupt! All in all, it wasn't a bad read. It just seemed to be lacking something. I would still recommend it as a read just so you have all the interconnecting stories with it.
All three parts to this book are well written and executed. I would definitely recommend this book as well as this author.

This is the third part of Guilty Pleasure – the conclusion.
I liked that Shayne was more of the story this time. He still felt a little out of place, because the emotions and the intimation was that Khalid and Marty were the true couple and Shayne was just the third person that got to play with them. I wish that he was more a part of the relationship.
Overall, this was a satisfactory conclusion. I liked that Marty was able to get Khalid to open up more.
I wish we had learned more about Marty's old boss – he played a key role in this story - revealing a truth that Khalid was trying to avoid. I would have liked to see more of a resolution to this aspect, since it makes such an appearance throughout the series.
This story had a lot of pieces moving – there was the hiding from the brothers, but then daring them to make a move, falling more in love with each other, the story is fast paced and constantly moving.
The conclusion was both predictable and satisfactory. I liked how it ended, but wished for more of a conclusion for Khalid. Maybe in the next book, the question of his father and other brother will be answered. But overall, this was a good ending and everyone was where they should be, with who they should be with.
Loved the conclusion to the story and that Marty and Khalid finally admitted their feelings towards each other to each other. Didn't want to put this down once I started reading.
Another erotic thriller from Leigh. Although the story was rather long (I read this as a three part book series) it was full of action. While knowledge of the other books in this series is not required, it does help to know the characters of the series and how they intertwine.
Note, I did receive a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.
4.5 stars
The finale is here! Khalid is finally disclosing his past to Marty while she continues to assert herself and fights against the protection from her father and godfather. She is getting tired of being kept in the dark as no one is telling her anything. Khalid is aware that his brother is on the hunt for Marty and wants to kill her as he did Lessa, his brother Abram’s wife that Khalid shared long ago. It seems as if things are going from bad to worse as Marty is confronted by her former boss at the Archer Ball who lets her in on some of the more sordid details of Khalid’s past. When things start to get really heated, Marty and Khalid leave to go back to his place and this is where the action starts to emerge. Will Marty survive? Will Marty and Khalid have the relationship they both crave? If you are looking for a dynamic author who can weave intrigue and suspense with an impassioned romance then this is the one to get.
I volunteered to read an arc for a review from the publisher via Netgalley.
Guilty Pleasures Part Three
The conclusion....This is the most intense book in the trilogy. There's plenty of sexy time, suspense and intrigue. This was fast paced, but not hurried portion of the story. I couldn't put it down. The need to know how this plot resolved keep me awake all night long....as the best books do.
Kudos to yet another amazing book in the Bound Hearts Series.
A MUST READ!!
It was a good book not my favorite but still a good read. Marty has what she wants but will she be able to be happy now that she has what she has always wanted? Can Khalid protect her with Connor's help as the past won't stop coming for her?
