Rating: 4 out of 5

The Carrington Family have been friends and extended family to Heather Brown all her life.  Brenda Carrington is the sister Heather never had; and her brother Brad has been the older brother and friend who would readily kick the ass of any guy who hurt her.  For years, Heather has wanted Brad to be more than a friend.  Past relationships have been unsatisfying in more ways than one but especially sexually.  When Heather sets out to throw caution to the wind for a purely physical fling, will she have the guts to risk it all and go for the man she desires.Ms. Jones says Pleasure with Purpose is "a fun, light read that is a gift to my readers to say 'thank you' for your support". She's too modest.  Though a little predictable like all happily ever after romances, this brief read is filled with emotion and situations I think any reader can relate to.  Taking a friendship to the next level is always chancy. Sex with a `buddy' can end a friendship.  Heather and Brad struggle with that possibility.  Through their heartfelt revelation of their true feelings, there's no straight line to happily ever after.  There's sexual combustion followed by regret; then physical retreat until our lovers embrace the inevitable and accept whatever negative fallout from family.  Ms. Jones writes an enjoyable tale with some real HEAT.  Don't think this is just a nice sedate romance.  There's some serious sexual activity in this that may curl your toes.  There is also a love story to make you smile.As a thank you to fans, this was a good one.  If I could would rate it a 4.5.
