My infatuation with Jess Michaels stems from the fact that she does not just write stories that go beyond pushing the envelope. She creates strong female characters that are willing to risk everything to protect the ones they love. Seduced is a story of betrayal, lust and courage. Letty is hell on wheels, Jack is sex on a stick. With the odds not working in their favor, a middle ground has to be found to explore the all consuming attraction between these two characters. I received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review. These characters bring out strong emotions in each other and that is what makes Seduced an engrossing read. ( )

Opposites attract!

Captain Jack Blackwood inhabits a dangerous criminal world
Widowed viscountess Letitia Seagate and cousin to Jack's sister-in-law only wants to protect her younger brother

Letitia is:
1. At odds with Jack
2. Viscerally attracted to Jack
3. Accuses him of seducing her brother into wicked ways. Really brother Griffin acts like a spoilt child refused. He is out to prove himself with no thought of the danger to others. I had no patience with him.
Jack is:
1. A man from the rookeries
2. A man whose taken on the worst and come through
3. A crime lord on the brink of a gangland war in which anyone is fair game.
4. A man who finds himself drawn to Letitia even though he's promised his brother not to dally with the dark beauty who's attracted his attention.
So when Letitia confronts Jack it's no wonder the sparks fly, and then some.
Add in the danger factor and the bad boy finding a good woman and there's a recipe for success! Enjoyable!
