Give in to the sinfully hot final book in bestselling author JC Harroway’s The Pleasure Pact series… The truth is that the Pleasure Pact was my idea. Not because I thought my friends needed to get laid (they did) or because margaritas were involved (they were), but because I know who I want: Nick Rivers. My big, brooding, mouth-wateringly hot bodyguard. It’s been torture, the way he watches … the way he watches me with those brown eyes shuttered and locked down. And that hard, muscled body that shields me from harm with the promise of raw, masculine heat.
All that control. All that restraint. And all I want to do is unleash it.
Now we’re in Milan, and I’m doing everything I can to break Nick’s iron will. Because I know I can trust him. I know he’s safe. And I know the fact that my being Lady Brooke Madden–London socialite, supermodel, businesswoman and even the victim of tabloid scandal–means nothing to him. He sees me. I see him. And we both like to watch. But wanting him means surrendering…
He wants to control everything. But Nick can’t control what’s happening between us…or what will happen when he shows me who he really is.

*coughs*
Let me set the scene.
*waves hand*
I am only on the third sentence of Chapter One when with eight little words Nick Rivers rocked my world (too much?!) and like a record needle scratching across an album everything came to an abrupt halt…
“Even for a guy who likes to watch…”
Little Angel Me (who am I kidding – that halo slipped long ago!) slaps me on the shoulder: “Hold up! Say what now?”
*quickly re-reads start of sentence*
Little Devil Me *smoke starting to rise*: “Oh man, this is gonna be *sings* goood!”
Me-me: “Ladies, puhlease! Try and keep it together. We’ve only just started. Our hormones won’t survive if you two go off too soon!”
*snorts*
Whaaa? Doesn’t everyone have these sorts of conversations?
Noooo?!
*shrugs* Oops, my bad!
It’s no secret that I have LOVED the Pleasure Pact series and couldn’t wait to get my grabby hands on Brooke’s story. Between thee and me, it’s the one I’ve been waiting on. The little hints and teasers we had in Grace and Neve’s books had my ‘I NEED IT!’ sensors in overdrive.
Nick and Brooke blew (steady!) my mind. Naughty to the nth degree, Bad Mistake has to be the author’s steamiest book yet. And, boy, did I devour it. I was gonna say lap it up, but *taps chin* that doesn’t sound so good, does it? *winks*
Each struggling with their own trust issues, Brooke and Nick are punishing themselves for events outwith their control. Guilt, however misplaced, can be insidious like that. I also found it quite emotional at times.
There was the obligatory fist waving at the kindle screen over stupid characters with their head stuck up the proverbial, aka the usual.
And I think I literally stopped breathing a few times reading this story. I swear those brain cells would’ve come in handy one day, but *shrugs* alas…
BM is JC at her best! Put it this way, reader satisfaction is guaranteed (how you want to interpret that statement is up to you, lol!).
4 1/2 STARS!
The sinfully seductive conclusion to The Pleasure Pact trilogy is here! BAD MISTAKE by JC Harroway is sure to delight with a delve into the forbidden as Brooke shows the cards she’s been holding close to her chest after devising the pact with her two besties. She knew who she wanted, she just had to figure out how to get him to lose control. Loved the characters and loved the series!
Lady Brooke Madden is divine. She’s sexy, self-assured and a strong, independent career woman who isn’t afraid to go after what she wants … like that sexy hunk of a man who’s been guarding her body with a brooding scowl and unbearable heat in his stare.
Bodyguard Nick Rivers is dreamy! He’s a tough guy with a heart of gold. He’s been traumatized by a past that he’d give just about anything in the world to be able to change, but he refuses to ever let his guard down again.
I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who loves a decadent dip into temptation as three sexy ladies set out to go after what they want and end up finding their forevers along the way.
Every time I read a JC Harroway book, I think this is my new favourite, and then she goes and writes another that has me just as caught up, just as enraptured, just as in love, and you guessed it, BAD MISTAKE, is no exception.
She has this ability to capture my attention, no matter how busy or distracted I might be with real life at the time, from the very first page. This story is a tale of two people so different and yet, so very much the same. Their carefully constructed and composed exteriors masking such vulnerability that your heart aches for them as you wish wholeheartedly for them to realise how perfect they are for each other, how they can trust one another to complete their lives, and make them whole again.
If you love your romance with plenty of steam (and I mean serious kink of the voyeur variety – yes, yes, YES!) and serious heart at its core, then get your hands (eyes!) on this one. You won’t regret it!
