The Seduction (Notorious)

Wow! Well what can I say... I believe I just finished reading the sexiest novel ever. THE SEDUCTION is filled with steamy sex scenes, from front to back. Now mind you, I didn't decide to read THE SEDUCTION because of steamy scenes, but because I wanted to read something by Nicole Jordan! And.. you know, this so happens to be her latest book. Anyway, I'd like to say that I really enjoyed the story. Ms. Jordan has a way to include hot stuff in her story without distracting the reader from the plot. It's a novel where a reader can read, without thinking too much. Basically a book worth to spend time on. I loved her characters. Lady Vanessa had a very strong and caring personality. She took it upon herself to prevent her brother from losing all the family property to Lord Damien by posing as Damien's mistress. With her strengh, it really made her shine throughout the story. Lord Damien, a rake, was able to change for the better with the help of Vanessa. It was quite funny, now that I realize it, that Damien had a wonderful plan to seduce Vanessa, whereas in the end he was the one that ended up being seduced by Vanessa - unintentionally on her part, of course! It was also a pleasure to read about Olivia and Aubrey's relationship and how they got over their conflicts (Olivia is Damien's younger sister, and Aubrey is Vanessa's younger brother). I'm looking forward to THE PASSION - the sequel to THE SEDUCTION. If you do end up enjoying this story like I did, another book on the similar theme of seduction is SEDUCED BY A SCOUNDREL by BARBARA DAWSON SMITH.

After reading The Seduction by Nicole Jordan, I only have to say I wish that I'd known of this author when I was single. This book could've gotten me through many a lonely night. The sex scenes are absolutely intense! This book isn't all about sex, however. There is also a compelling story to be told. Damien Sinclair's sister Olivia is crippled in an accident due to the callousness of Aubrey Trent. Damien vows revenge against Aubrey, not caring who he steamrolls in the process. Aubrey's sister, Vanessa, goes to Damien to try to save the family home. Her real concern is for her younger sisters who've yet to make their come out. Vanessa offers her services as a companion to Olivia, who after her accident has shut out the world. Damien would rather have the widowed Vanessa as his mistress-but vows never to force her into his bed. As a matter of fact, she will have to come to him. They agree that she will act as Olivia's companion, for a start. How the story progresses is wonderfully told and the real payoff is in the sex scenes. A definite keeper.

Nicole Jordan bounces back full-force with a compelling romantic novel,THE SEDUCTION - a tale of redemption, love and breathtaking sensuality. From her early novels such as THE WARRIOR and THE HEARTBREAKER, Ms. Jordan never fails to convince me that historical romance can be such engaging read with the right chemistry and poignancy.But in THE SEDUCTION, she tests her boundaries with rejuvenating and intelligent dialogues and some erotic imaginative scenes that spices up the story.Lady Vanessa Wyndham is one amazing character - strong-minded and intelligent, who agrees to redeem his brother by offering her services as a guardian to Lord Damien's sister (Olivia), because her brother, Aubrey has inflicted paralysis on Olivia in a forbidden tryst. Vanessa manages to win the trust and friendship of Olivia and charms Damien with her unique blend of beauty and wit. Damien, being a notorious rake, sought only his pleasure in tempting Vanessa, but never did he realize he would lose his heart as well. The secondary romance with Aubrey and Olivia is one that miraculously compliments that of Vanessa and Damien - both seeks redemption and understanding in love. There is sensuality in the love scenes especially where Damien and Vanessa agreed on a coaching of love-making. Damien is frightened of his obsession with her, and he understands he is not worthy of her with his past decadent ways. It is not just steamy sex that gloss up the pages but the mutual understanding and heated chemistry between the two characters that is lacking in many historical romances. Ms. Jordan is a gifted writer who knits many universal values together -the friendship between Olivia and Vanessa, the acceptance and forgiveness shown in Damien's love for Vanessa and his sister. It surpasses the ordinary historical romances with a passionate style. Altogether, this book is a keeper and is one which restores faith and love in cynics like me. THE SEDUCTION is dazzling, passionate and heart-rendering that will enthrall fans of this talented writer. With a period of absence from the writing scene, she proves she hasn't lost the magical touch.Welcome back, Nicole Jordan.

This is one of the best books I've read all year. It is an erotic, sensual masterpiece, but what really makes the story great is the passion, emotions and feelings between the main characters. The H/H are so fasinating you can't wait to find out what's going to happen next. I also liked the secondary characters. Damien Sinclair is a rake with decadent and jaded tastes who has no use for love, but that all changes when he meets Vanessa. A must read. Not for the faint hearted, very sensual.
