Product Description:
Although frustrated in his attempt to acquire Steele Corporation, arrogant millionaire Cameron Cody will not be denied the firm's most attractive asset, Vanessa Steele. So when Cameron learns that Vanessa is house-sitting for her sister in Jamaica, he buys the adjoining property and makes her an offer she can't refuse….
Cameron is determined to prove to Vanessa that he is the one temptation she cannot resist, but she is equally determined to prove him wrong. What Vanessa doesn't suspect is that Cameron intends to brand her so deeply with his island passion, that once they're back in the States, she'll be the one in hot pursuit.

The foreword warned me, but I did believe Ms. Jackson. Well, she ain't lying! I loved it, AND needed more than ice water to cool me off!

I feel like I have read this story before. I know a romance novel will most likely end with the two characters together. However, the story line is a bit of a cliche. I had to concentrate really hard to finish it because I felt like I knew what would happen next. I gave it three stars because I know that had I not read so many romances prior, I would've enjoyed it. The novel wasn't released that long ago so I feel like the author could have tried to procure a little more originality. Ms. Jackson is a good writer as her other novels will attest, so I have come to expect better quality reads from her. I hope she writes better next time.
Write on, read on

I have read a few books authored by Brenda Jackson and, as always, she is too overly sentimental, too melodramatic, too sappy. Her love stories seem to frequently follow the same formula: "She was the most beautiful women he had ever laid eyes on..." "He made her feel like she had never felt before..." PURE SAP! It can be entertaining in moderation, but to inundate an entire novel with it is quite sickening, and, since I read fictional novels as if they were based on true stories, quite unrealistic. "Risky Pleasures" is no different. It's sappy from beginning to end, a typical love story if you ask me.
Cameron Cody has his eyes on Vanessa Steele. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, so he had to have her. However, she is hesitant about pursuing a relationship with him because of her past failed relationship and the fact that he tried to steal her family's company. He chases her in the beginning of the novel, they date by the middle of the story, but face a few ordeals, and, in the end, guess what? They live happily ever after. Cameron and Vanessa have a good relationship, but it seems to thrive off of sex. I wish the author would have created more obstacles for them as a couple and cut out some of the sex scenes.
Her writing skills are good, but her stories lack creativity. This book is decent at best. Personally, I was ready for it to be over. Purchase at your own risk. 3 stars

I have been a fan of Brenda Jackson for many years and I have A LOT of her books. After reading Soul Caress, I knew I had to get the rest of the series. And I wasn't disappointed. Risky Pleasures was a great read from cover to cover.

Ok the book is hot, its obvious Cameron and Vanessa are going to get together from the previous books. However this Steele addition seems so formulaic, it feels like another book that Brenda Jackson has written already. I give it 3.5 stars. The ending does seem rushed like lets wrap this up and get on with the extra story, which was lovely to read but perhaps would have been better placed in Night Heat. Maybe its me but I am bored with the young 20 something, rich upper middle class lady that has one bad lover and then uses that to swear off all men, the same for the men as well, one selfish girlfriend and then they decide love ain't worth it? How did these seemingly educated, intelligent people get rich with that attitude? lol
