Beauty. Fame. A socialite. A hotel heiress of the Perconti family. And yet Arianna Perconti didn't have it all. She didn't have her freedom to make her own life decisions until she decided to be a runaway bride and take charge of her life. She couldn't marry the man that her brother, Leo wanted her to marry in order to save their hotel empire. Instead, Ari found herself running to the man who has been her secret lover. The man who was her brother and family's hotel rival. Jason Stone. When Ari asked Jason for a favor, he didn't hesitate granting her wishes. As they continued their secret sexual rendezvous, passion, lust and a new intense feelings begins to ignite. But what happens when Jason's secret past comes threatening his reputation and could possibly be a PR disaster if the media found out what he did before? Could Ari stand by his side? Or will Ari see Jason as a ruthless business man who will stop nothing at being successful? Is Ari a pawn in his game to watch the Perconti family business crumble?

While I really enjoyed and loved the first book, At His Service of the Playboys of Boston Series, I have mixed feelings on the second installment, For His Pleasure. Don't get me wrong, while I enjoyed this second book, I didn't love it as I would hoped and expected for. The sexual chemistry of Jason and Ari was hot, erotic and steamy but there was a little too much sex for my taste and soon the storyline begins to lose focus. Toss in the fact, that I felt Ari didn't exert the independence to pull me into liking her her character. I think Jason's past was what kept me engaged into the story. Overall, this book was enjoyable but not my favorite.
