The Pleasure Slave - Gena Showalter

Blurb~
When Santa Fe antique dealer Julie Anderson was curiously drawn to purchase a battered jewelry box, she never expected it to contain her own personal love slave. Especially not tall, dark and sinfully handsome Tristan-a man hard to resist, and determined to fulfill her every desire.


Though Tristan was a rogue of the battlefield and the boudoir, making love with Julia was like nothing he'd ever known. Yet revealing his true heart would break the centuries-old spell and separate them forever. And Tristan would do anything to go on loving Julia. . .even remain a slave through all eternity. . .


Alright...Ive seen this lady around and heard TONS of great things! So when I had a friend send me one of her books I jumped at the chance to see what all the hubbub was about!

This book was adorable! It made me giggle, gave me surprises, and made me a bit hot under the collar! ;) I can see why Gena gets all the attention!

Here we have plain Jane Julie Anderson. Julie finds a jewelry box at a flea market and once she gets home tries to pry the old dusty things open...and like Genie with Aladdin POOF! Her enters Julian.

Tristan lived in Imperia long long ago. He was a great lover to many but one day a woman took things too far and cursed him by making him a pleasure (love) slave. He was doomed to live in his jewelry box for eternity moving from master to master as a sex slave.

Once Julie and Tristan meet and Tristian tries to tell himself shes just like every other master hes had but deep down he knows shes VERY different. She doesn't command, doesn't take advantage of his body and treats him like the man he wishes he could be. If only he could lover her...but if he did the curse would eb broken and he would return to Imperia to forever be without his heart.

So like I said I can truly see why Gena is so popular! This book was great! Not only was it hot to trot but it made me laugh! I just loved how Tristan wasn't used to Julies time...making nasty coffee, "killing" the phone, and ripping up his underwear to make a sheath for his knife! lol This is only a few ways that Tristan kept me entertained! lol

Julie...oh poor Julie is the classic case of plain girl with no self confidence! She's been burned before and ever since then has shied away from men. When she meets Tristan shes totally intimidated but he soon teaches her that she is a diamond in the rough (hey...whats with all my Aladdin references??? lol Well I did just get back from Disney ;). Anyways...she soon finds that she is a woman that is sexy in her own skin (which is something I always love in my heroins revelations).

This book overall was a really light, amusing and sexy to no end! There is another side story between Tristan's old master and a man that wants her that catches your attention as well. I think Gena juggles both story lines and intertwines them perfectly! =) Im SO glad I picked this book and and will be venturing even further into Gena's books ASAP!

Yummy Quote~
He was a exquisite specimen of manhood. So exquisite, in fact, she wouldn’t be surprised if he had “Grade A one-hundred-percent pure beef” stamped on his butt.

Tristan: “My tongue burns for the taste of you. My hands itch for the feel of you. And my shaft screams for the core of you. Let me have you.”



SO GO GET IT ALREADY!!! ;)
