Pleasured by You

Elle Wright. Dafina, $7.99 mass market (304p) ISBN 978-1-4967-1604-0

Wright continues the Wellspring contemporary romance series (after Enticed by You) with a rich and vivid tale of family drama and righted wrongs. Bryson Wells vowed never to return to Wellspring, Mich., but when his abusive father nears death and his older brother, Parker, reaches out to him, he finds the longing for his siblings too great to ignore. Jordan Clark, Bryson’s childhood best friend, put her dreams on hold to care for her ailing grandfather in Wellspring. She’s startled to run into Bryson, who left town—and left her—without a word. When a night of no-strings-attached passion results in her pregnancy, Bryson is determined to be there for his child. His chivalrous nature is too much for Jordan to resist, despite her attempts to “focus on the baby.” Both lovers have dealt with the pain of parental rejection, but Bryson, unlike Jordan, is ready to move forward with his life, and he’s determined to help her do the same. The steamy love scenes are enhanced by tender affection; the siblings are as charming as always; and the introduction of Victoria, a half-sibling, is the perfect setup for the next installment in this delectable series.
