The Panther's Lair by Esmerelda Bishop




Sydney Chase may have sworn off relationships—but she still has needs. So she heads to the Panther's Lair in search of sex: no strings, no emotions. The club owner, dark, mysterious Raimond Decoudreau, is exactly what she's looking for—his French accent alone makes her hot. Fortunately, his mouth has other sinful talents, as well...
After just one night with Sydney, Raimond knows she's his. And when the time is right, when she loves him in return, he'll reveal his deepest secret. For now, he'll enjoy pleasuring her in the most intimate of ways.
But when Sydney's life is threatened, Raimond's instincts take control, and she gets a glimpse at the beast within...

The Pather’s Lair is the name of the club that Raimond owns. Sydney goes there to find someone to spend one night with. “Feelings and love no longer interested her. Men thought with their dicks; why couldn’t she think with her pussy? No strings, no emotions, just sex.” This sums up what Sydney was searching for when she went to the Panther’s Lair. Unbeknownst to her Raimond claims her and she feels drawn to him. It’s a great story of her trying to get away after one night but her car had a flat and Raimond finds a way to draw her back in.
Esmerelda Bishop is a great author. She knows how to fit in information so that you know what’s going on without disrupting the flow of the story. However there was one word that I stumbled over and couldn’t help but laugh at. In terms of purple prose…this is the gem…vajayjay. In the context of the story Sydney’s friend says it and it’s supposed to be comedic but it stands out so badly that it didn’t come out that funny. Still it doesn’t end the story just something to get past.
I like the play between Sydney and Raimond but I kind of wish the story was longer. There are questions that I would like to know about both characters, mostly about background.  Perhaps there is another book that gives more information about these two…
Overall this is a good book and worth reading. I was sad that the story ended so soon. I rate this book 3.25 stars.
