Great Book

Another good book from Lori Foster. I am now reading the whole series that goes with this book. I am finding them all great reads.

Re-issue of a Foster classic!

Sebastian Sinclair would do anything for a worthy cause, even if it means putting on a monkey suit and being auctioned off in front of a group of rich and raunchy women. Sebastian hates being treated like a sex object, but knowing that the money raised was going to help abused women - a cause dear to his heart - how could he refuse? But the sense of feeling like a piece of meat does not sit very well with Sebastian, at least not until someone catches his eye. Like something out of a movie, their eyes meet across a crowded room, and they can't look away from each other. Sebastian's interest is drawn to the woman staring at him with such innocent fascination, and couldn't be more pleased when he ends up as her prize for the next five days. Brandi Sommers is mortified that her meddlesome but loving sister Shay bought her a man for her birthday (interesting note: Shay has her own story in "Secret Life of Bryan"). After extracting a promise from the gorgeous and sexy Mr. Sinclair to let her be in charge, she agrees to the prize package of a stay at a cozy yet luxurious cabin. While wary in his presence, Brandi finds she can trust him to let her be the one in control. She's shocked to discover how badly he wants her - it excites and terrifies her. Having suffered a traumatic experience years ago, Brandi is not sure how to deal with her awakening sexuality, but senses she can trust Sebastian to keep his promise. Sebastian has never been so strongly affected by a woman. Her innate sensuality and innocence drive him crazy, but he senses there is more to her than what he sees. Willing himself to be patient, he allows her to dictate the direction of their relationship, and begins to care for this amazing woman who sets his blood on fire. Losing his heart, he realizes that he wants their five days to turn into forever. Now he just has to convince Brandi that she wants the same thing... This is a re-issue of one of Lori Foster's earliest books, and it stands the test of time. I just read it for the first time, and was not disappointed. Even in the beginning, you can find traces of the sexy and tender style that is signature Foster. Another plus to this re-release is as a Signature Select title, there are additional bonus features at the end of the story, such as Lori Foster's Ideal Vacation Fantasy. If you've never read it, I urge you to pick up a copy. If you have read it, it's definitely worth a re-read. Lori Foster's talent is timeless....

A Gallant Protector...A Tender Lover...Her Hero!

Fantasy, by Lori Foster Growing up poor with a drunken father and a mother who worked herself to death gave Sebastian Sinclair an interesting view on life. And finding himself being gawked at, whistled to, and basically treated like a piece of meat by a room full of women too rich for their own good is a damned weird situation for the private security expert. At first he longs to strangle his friend Shay Sommers for talking him into the bizarre charity auction, but then he spots Brandi--Shay's timid little sister. And when Shay purchases him for Brandi as a birthday present for the pretty brunette, Sebastian feels more like kissing Shay instead. However, and much to his dismay, Brandi attempts to give her present-namely him-back. Perversely, that makes Sebastian all the more determined to get to know the petite little butterfly. Much to his surprise, the big and rough Sebastian finds himself promising the wary Brandi that if she did decide to keep him, he'd let her call all the shots during their, already paid for, five day vacation. Of course, how could Brandi refuse an offer like that? The odd couple then find themselves alone in a luxurious cabin with accommodations that include a waterbed and a Jacuzzi. Brandi starts to see this as an exciting and sensual opportunity. Oh it's true that Sebastian, with his sexy and intense gaze zeroed in on her, has her feeling very uncertain and afraid, but he also has Brandi feeling quite aroused and wildly curious. This is her chance to put the awful hurts of her past trauma to rest and to finally start to know the emotions and actions of a true hot-blooded woman. As a result of their time together, Brandi comes to see Sebastian as the kind of honorable man a woman could easily fall in love with, but can a rescuer, a hero like him, ever love a woman with so much baggage? Or will she just be one more cause to him? This story takes you through the damaged mind and the broken will of a woman with more heart and strength than even she knows she possesses. Thankfully, Sebastian is just the man to show her just what she's been missing... love.

Romance As It Was Meant To Be

Most romance writers tend to avoid touchy subjects that are quite relevant to women today, and that makes some stories hard to relate to. And although the very notion of romance novels involves a certain degree of suspension of disbelief, like all good works of art, it is nevertheless gripping when a character has faced or faces real life dilemmas that many women can relate to. And there lies the essence of romance, that a person can be desirable and loved unconditionally despite, or, in spite of, their troubles. Ms. Foster nails this in FANTASY.

Incredibly sensual love filled story

Lori Foster is one of the most sensual writers of the day. Her stories are bold and hot, her heroes larger than life, her heroines are women we can relate to. FANTASY is every woman's fantasty. A wonderful, terrific read, so good you won't be able to put it down, and won't want it to end.
