Julia Dailey has a secret. She’s an imposter planted on Pleasure Island, an undercover agent who’s investigating visitors to the exotic, exclusive getaway. Until now, she’s been able to pretend at face value that she is part of the lifestyle. But that all changes when she receives a new set of instructions from headquarters. She’s to get close enough to their latest suspect that she will be … forced to do something she’s never considered herself capable of doing – submit.
Collum Robinson is an Australian guitarist with the band The Harbingers, with a dark and lonely past he’s never fully escaped. At clubs around the world, he has women fighting over the chance to end up in his bed for the night. Never one to turn down a willing, soft body, he enjoys the fairer sex, frequently. But he’s never met a woman who wanted more than a night with the fabled rock star – or one he wanted to keep. Until he meets Julia.
As they become intricately intertwined, Collum wants to make Julia his, but when her identity is revealed, can he forgive her betrayal? And will Julia be able to convince him where her loyalties lie and that he is the only man for her?
Publisher’s Note: Book five in Anya Summers’ bestselling Pleasure Island series contains explicit scenes and adult language.

This is one steamy and emotional romance!
I really enjoyed the storyline of this book. Julia is sent to investigate Collums drug connections while he is at the Pleasure Island Resort but not everything is as it seems. Collum has gone to the island resort to take a break from everything and help out his friend, Jared, with a project for the island. He’s not looking for a sub or anything else but the minute he sees Julia, he knows that’s going to change. Their instant attraction is confusing and intense for them both.
Again, it deals with the BDSM lifestyle and it’s many, many variations so if that’s not for you don’t read this book. But, this whole series has been amazing and this book is no different.
Mission accomplished
This is book 5 of the Pleasure Island series. Julia is a woman on a mission. Collum is that mission. Julia is definitely not a sub. No one knows that because she is deep undercover. Her mission is to act like a sub to get close enough to Collum to find out why he is involved with drug dealers. Collum is a man who has everything but can’t find the one thing, well make that two things, that he really wants a woman who wants him for him and a pathway out of his deep depression to contentment. Julia is exactly what Collum is looking for, the demons seem to be quiet when he is with her. Julia didn’t know it but Collum is exactly what she has needed all a long. It seems as if they have it all together until the present collides with their fantasy. Anya once again has written a tale that is more than just a BDSM themed story. It has intrigue, depth to her characters, and she weaved in others from her previous books in a way that makes you realize she knows her readers are paying attention. Yes, you will of course have adult themes and hot sexiness it’s a story in the BDSM genre. I enjoyed this story and recommend it.
Julia has a mission given to her by her CIA Director, one she’s not sure she’s cut out for: to get close to and seduce Collum Robinson, guitarist for Australian rockstars the Harbingers. To do this, she’s installed on Pleasure Island as a submissive maid. Julia is the least submissive person she knows, so this particular mission is going to be hard. Or is it really? When she gets her first taste of Collum’s full on Domly qualities, suddenly her body is acting a lot submissive, and a lot in lust with him and his domination. What is her world coming to? Being seduced into submitting to a Dom? It’s so unlike Julia and it’s doing her head in. Her body’s all for it, though, and she and Collum keep drawing each other in deeper, both physically and emotionally, until the day it all crumbles beneath her feet. Will she get her Dom back or will Will always hate her for her betrayal of his trust?
Her Rockstar Dom was pretty fantastic – super steamy, some action and an interesting mystery, along with the layers of emotion the two lovers are finding themselves drowning in all while discovering Julia’s submissive (or not) tendencies.
Book 5 for the Pleasure Island Collection for me is the best so far. A lot more dominance and submission of a beginner sub. Great story line and fabulous character building.
Julia is assigned to get close to Collum to determine the extent of his involvement with drug smugglers. Collum has avoided getting too personal with women, because as a celebrity he can’t trust any woman’s motivations. But there’s just something about Julia, and it’s clear she’s not swayed by his fame nor fortune. They click so well together that it has him rethinking his long-range goals, and has her rethinking her commitment to her job.
These two have have more chemistry than any couple ought to have, leaving them (and the readers) breathless after each of the many steamy encounters. But once all the secrets are out, then all hell breaks loose. Both Julia and Collum learn the truth about each other, but it may just be too late for them to repair the damage that’s been done. This is one of the better romances in this series, one with an abundance of heart, plenty of compassion, and a HEA that will have you cheering. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
