Synopsis

Discipline. Penance. Order. A Sanctuary priest's life revolves around
such things. But when Sagan is taken captive and thrust into the Alaskan
wilderness, he encounters a woman who challenges his faith and his
self-control. Valera is a natural born witch who almost lost herself to
the lure of dark magic. By rights, Sagan should shun her, but convention
will count for nothing in the face of a passion that could change the
world of the Shadowdwellers forever . . .

As Chancellor of the
Shadowdwellers, Malaya's first duty is to her people. Her bodyguard,
Guin, knows this only too well. For tradition's sake, Malaya must marry,
and the thought of this lush, vibrant, woman in a loveless union is
impossible for him to bear. Guin loves Malaya—not as a subject loves
his queen, but as a man craves a woman. And even if he cannot keep her,
he'll show her everything she stands to lose . . .

Goodreads review by Emily on May 22, 2010

Each book in the Shadowdweller series, in addition to being a romance novel in every sense, clued the reader in to a certain aspect of Shadowdweller society; Ecstasy introduced us to their culture and their world, Rapture shared their religion and their spiritual beliefs, and now Pleasure worked to......more

Goodreads review by Terri on August 30, 2009

Ok. I liked the Nightwalker series very much, but it left many loose ends. I know the author has since stated that she will write one more in this series, to tie up those loose ends, but it feels like her heart isn't really in that story anymore. I got the same sense with this book. I like the Shado......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on June 09, 2011

Sadly this book, which teases a story about Sagan in the summary, is very short on Sagan's story. The story that is there is wickedly delicious if not a little rushed in the soul searing devotion. However, the secondary story of Malaya's discovery of her bodyguard's Guin eternal love to her is a won......more

Goodreads review by The Book Junkie Reads . . . on October 05, 2016

There was no denying that I was looking for closure but to have it divided was a bit mind stopping. I get my fix with not just one romantic completion but two. Each with a reason for being the way that it was. When Sagan was dragged off in book two, I was confused and hurt that the strong, quiet pri......more

Goodreads review by Vickie on April 24, 2021

O wow! Guin was such a strong man. 50 years he waited for Laya to come to her senses and when she did all hell broke loose. The villain was so smart and she used so many people she should have been made to pay in some way. Quick death always seem like they got away after causing so much suffering. I......more
