This review is from: Pleasured in the Playboys Penthouse (Paperback)
Natalie Anderson made me laugh and cry at the same time while reading her wonderful contemporary romance Pleasured in the Playboy's Penthouse. Honestly, once I began reading this extremely romantic love story, I couldn't put it down.

Bella is not only the "chief" bridesmaid at her sister's posh wedding; she is also in charge of the decorations. She has always felt inferior to her immediate and extended family because she's different from their sophisticated ways and professions.

Everything becomes clear on the eve the wedding and no one has remembered it's her birthday, she decides to let her hair down and celebrate by herself. However, as fate would have it, a tall, dark and handsome stranger in the name of Owen Hughes comes along and buys her "shots" of drinks with "sexy" names. Of course, they drink, share a meal together, dance and Owen realizes he's been too busy working and has had no time for relaxation. He likes Bella immediately, finds her interesting, fun, lovely and offers to take her to the wedding. Immediately they both feel the passion, so he walks her to her room and they become lovers. Fate steps in again and Owen is called away on business but he's determined to see her again and requests her phone number.

At the wedding, Bella feels like an outsider. Owen has left without a word and she's left making excuses for his disappearance to her family, feeling as though she doesn't fit in and is also embarrassed about her behavior the evening before. However, it's just the push she needs to leave the protection of her family home and seek her dream of being an actress. She moves to the city and supports herself as a barista and children's party planner; hoping to make it into "the big time" in the theater. And fate steps in again.....first she bumps into Owen at the grocery store, then things go from bad to worse which eventually leaves her homeless. Owen offers her his penthouse until she can get her life sorted and he's determined to get to know her on his terms in and out of the bedroom.

Their time spent in his penthouse is a romantic dance. Their relationship becomes very hot from the moment she arrives at his home. Learning about each other, how they were raised, how that has shaped and made them what they are today will hold your attention. Owen is one determined alpha, he strives to win and get what he wants but he definitely makes it clear from the very beginning he does not want to commit to a relationship. And Bella is drawn to Owen like a moth to a flame and she stands to loose her heart. Their time together, even though at times sweet ends on a hurtful note. And for this reader, Owen's realization that he wants it all with Bella was wonderful to read.

Natalie Anderson is a delightful and charming author who never fails to entertain her readers and Pleasured in the Playboys Penthouse was sexy, sweet, moving and powerful contemporary love story.

But Owen won't let Bella shrink back into her shell. Two weeks of pleasure in his penthouse and he'll have her begging for more...

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good contemporary romance, Aug 5 2011
By SHZ - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Pleasured in the Playboys Penthouse (Paperback)
I've really enjoyed everything I've read by this author so far. This was a great read for me - almost five star-worthy.

Owen is a self-made millionaire who is `good at ideas' in the computer industry. He meets Bella by chance in a bar when she's celebrating her birthday on her own. Bella is a struggling actress whose family don't understand her lack of direction.

I could have done without the extreme stereotyping at the beginning of the book; it added nothing to the story and only annoyed me. Those evil blonde beauties - always out to get our poor, mousy, chubby heroine. Oh diddums.
Thankfully this wasn't my first Natalie Anderson book, so I knew she had what it takes to make this a great story.

I loved the Wellington setting - it's a beautiful city and often overlooked as a setting for books in New Zealand. Do yourself a favour and look up a few pictures of the place before reading.

Natalie Anderson's heroes are never the over the top mega-alpha males we so often see in these books. They're well-rounded characters who actually listen to their women and care about what they can do for them to make their situation better. They're not out there demanding obedience; they're supporting and nurturing. Owen was a great hero, and one who wanted the relationship and pursued it more than Bella did.

I was a little sceptical of Bella going straight from unemployed actress to starring in a musical (the woman was unfit and never took a dance class nor did any singing, and yet she was good enough to understudy the lead role?!), and think that the stakes didn't need to be quite that high for her in the end. However I liked the way the author constructed the conflict, so that in the end it was the heroine, not the hero, who had the definite possibility of choosing to be without the person who loved her.

This was a good few hours of entertainment.
