| Hope Taylor had never intended to get involved with a married man or become Dr. Mike Shannon’s mistress, but a year has passed since they first started meeting for sex and they are still doing it, with ever increasing frequency. Mike wants to buy her an expensive condo on the beach so she won’t have the long drive inland to get home every night. He feels that having a house together will bring about the commitment he needs from Hope. He fears losing her to another man. Her best friend, Colleen, warned her that if she accepts she will be labeled a mistress. Once her sexy boss, Mark, realized she was Mike’s mistress, he showed up at her door falling down drunk and demanded to be given what Mike was getting. Would Mike come to her rescue? Would this affect his feelings for her?
This book is the second in the A Seductive Mistress series and does not stand alone. It is simply a continuation of the story in Becoming a Mistress and ends as though one need only continue turning pages to finish the story. The books must be read in order, but that is no hardship because the story is compelling and the sex is hot. Hope and Mike struggle with the angst of falling in love when the relationship was never supposed to be anything more than great sex with no strings. There is also the little problem of Mike’s marriage, which some readers might find objectionable. The story is written in such a way that we forget the wife exists because she is barely mentioned. The love story between Mike and Hope is arousing and exciting. I couldn’t stop reading once I started and I can’t wait for the next installment. I highly recommend this delightful series by Destiny Blaine.
