I have read erotica that is much crazier as far as sex acts and bondage. Martin is a master at building anticipation. Holy Old Spice Deodorant!) And.the other really cool thing about this book is that the sexiest part of it was not the actual physical scenes of intimacy (although, don't get me wrong, those were also super sweat-worthy), but it was the anticipation of the sex that was so thoroughly, unbelievably, smoky hot.

(I'm only slightly embarrassed to admit that I was, literally, sweating. There are not many erotic romances that can weave together ridiculous humor, a complex and suspenseful story line, intriguing characters, and sex so smoky and hot you're sweating as you read it. As soon as I saw the blurb for this book-a sheep farmer who is abducted by three bad-ass bank robbers and subjected to super pleasurable sexcapades, I thought-'I have to read this one!' There are some books that have a premise that is so ridiculous, you just can't resist. Review of The Hostage Bargain by Annika Martin I have gathered all my FREEBIES on a special shelf: Kindle-freebies (currently over 600 books) Oh, and some all-too-delicious alpha heroes who bend the heroine to their will.įREEBIES are often good for MORE than one day. Warning: This book contains a sexy bank-robbers-and-their-captive sandwich, light bondage, spanking, teasing hints of domination, and a little play-time in a hot tub. But will her delicious captors overcome their own demons enough to let her in? And can these underdogs fight an evil conspiracy that’s larger than all of them? Melinda eagerly throws in with her three smoldering fugitives…and soon realizes that these are no ordinary bank robbers-and that bad guys aren’t always who they seem. She should be scared of her dominating, fierce captors…but there’s something wicked inside her that’s craving to obey their every dark desire. When small town girl Melinda Prescott is taken hostage by three hot bank robbers, she quickly discovers that a life of bank heists, luxury hotels, and kinky menages is way more exciting than working on the family farm.
