For His Pleasure by Shelly Bell is book Three in the Forbidden Lovers Series. This is the story of Dreama Agosto and Cash Turner. I do feel you could make this a standalone book if you wish to do so. Cash was sent to jail for manslaughter for 8 years for something he didn’t do. Now he is out on parole and his new parole officer is Dreama. Dreama has returned to work after being brutally attacked which still causes issues in her life whenever a man tries to touch her. But with Cash something is different about him. Cash knows that he needs to keep his nose clean while on parole but there is something more that draws Dreama to him. Besides there attraction that draws them together they start to look into the past to solve the mystery.
Loved their story! Can wait to read more from this author!
After being attacked by an intruder a year ago, Dreama Agosto is still struggling to find her way again, only just recently she was able to find the courage to start working again. She still has some lingering anxiety about letting men get too close to her, the mere thought of one touching her sends her into a panic attack. But then her newest parolee Cash Turner wanders into her office, and something shifts, his presence brings her a unexpected sense of peace. But getting involved with him could cost her everything…
As soon as Cash Turner meets his new parole officer he can feel the intensity between them, there are some serious sparks and attraction there, but he also senses a fear from her too. He can spot a woman in distress from a mile away, and Dreama has his senses and protective nature on high alert. When they start to investigate the case that landed him behind bars, they put themselves on the path of danger, and Dreama has caught the eye of a killer. But Cash is determined to keep her safe…
For His Pleasure is a sultry, action packed page-turner that will keep you fully entranced from start to finish. Each page of this one was dripping with intensity, partly from the chemistry brewing between the main characters, and then from the danger that was lurking. I spent the better part of the book on the edge of my seat, bracing myself for what was surely to be an explosive ending… and boy was it ever! I absolutely loved my time with Dreama and Cash, their story had moments that touched my heart, and moments that had me reaching for a fan, the heat was unreal with these two! If you are a romantic suspense fan you will love this one, it’s an edgy, passionate, emotional tale that’ll thrill and curl the toes! Highly recommend!
I requested an advanced copy of this one from NetGalley, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
Dreama is a parole officer and was attacked a year ago. She was badly beaten and can’t have men touch her. She was a submissive and masochist but now she has panic attacks. Cash was in jail for eights years when he agreed to involuntary manslaughter now he out on parole and Dreama is his parole officer. They are immediately attracted to each other but a parole official and parolee aren’t permitted to date. When she looks over his file, she finds some inconsistencies and they start looking into his case. Someone doesn’t want them too and when women Cash work with start dying, it also puts Dreama in danger too. Can Cash protect her or will she become another victim?
Awesome story with suspense and BDSM. I love this series and was not disappointed with this book. A woman having to find her true self and a man just wanting to get on with his life. Secrets and surprises.

Nobody writes romantic suspense like Shelly Bell! I loved Dreama and Cash’s romance. That the forbidden twist of their spark wasn’t enough to keep them away from each other.
The twists and turns of the story definitely kept my attention. I loved that when push came to shove, Dreama and Cash went all out in their perseverance and need to find out who framed Cash and finally get the justice he deserved.
Because without that, their romance had no future. And if their sexy times proved anything, it’s that they deserved a happily-ever-after! Dreama and Cash are perfect for each other, bringing out the best in the other. And in themselves. Loved watching them fall in love while battling for their lives.
Rated 4.5 Stars
For His Pleasure was the perfect combination of suspense, mystery and kink with a bit of forbidden. It was also a funny and dealt with some heavy issues. I thoroughly enjoyed Cash and Dreama’s story and hope that there will be another book in the series. I highly recommend this book and series to those who love their sexy times mixed with suspense.

This one had me hooked from page one and found I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. Dreama Agosta is a parole officer who is trying to get her life back after being assaulted in a home invasion. She knows returning to work is going to be difficult but she is met with obstacles from the beginning when she tries to enter the building. This is where she first meets Cash Turner. He is the calming voice who settles her anxiety when security is doing everything to keep her from entering because of all the metal in her body that sets off the metal detector. Little does she know until she gets to her desk but he is her first new parolee. Cash is newly released from prison after serving time for a murder he did not commit. Cash and Dreama have chemistry off the charts but getting together could be the end to her career. Though when they start to investigate the crime that sent Cash to prison they catch the eye of the murderer and he now has Dreama in his sights and that could be the end of her. Oh, so much suspense, so much heat, so much goodness and sexy heat in one book. Definitely the way to heat up this cold summer!
