Summary: They both needed a healing of the heart . . .
Comment: And Sophy Dorring and Julian, Earl of Ravenwood, find that the healing power they needed could only be found through their love in Amanda Quick's, _Seduction_. Betrayed long ago by a faithless wife, Julian wanted a second Countess who would bear him an heir and cause him no trouble. He vowed to never trust a woman again. Having watched her innocent sister be seduced and discarded, Sophy wished to never marry. Though she'd loved Julian for years, the haunting memory of her sister's ill fate would stand in the way of her trusting him. Married for convenience, these two fashion a love that will touch your heart and fill you with warm, fuzzy feelings. Once again, Amanda Quick has done an excellent job of shaping two characters that are humorous, well-rounded and charming. Julian is overconfident, dynamic, and commanding, yet you are drawn to him because you can see that his first wife, Elizabeth, has caused him to harden and change into a man scared to love. Sophy is the very picture of early feminism at it's best. She is smart, headstrong, daring and honorable while retaining the qualities that make her a woman. Watching these two match wits is entertaining and delightful. Not only are the main characters first-rate, the secondary characters are enchanting. Julian's aunt and her companion are adorable and Sophy's friends are the perfect compliment to the story. Unlike other books by Amanda Quick, the mystery is not the driving force and although it is intriguing, it does not come into play until almost the very end of the book. The essence of this story is the love between Sophy and Julian. Watching them grow and change is extraordinary and poignant and when the book is finally over, you're left with a smile on your face. This is a fine example of Amanda Quick at her all-time best.

Summary: 'Seduction' Guaranteed
Comment: Be warned! My comments are not focus on this book's content.
I was 'seduced' by Amanda Quick's writing style since that day I read this book years ago. If you have never read Amanda Quick before, this is the right book to start with. It is the first historial novel that Jayne Ann Krentz (JAK) written as Amanda Quick (AQ). It was with 'Seduction' that I came to know that AQ is actually JAK and since then I have been trying to get hold of every historical or contemporary romance she has written. Although AQ is one of my all-time favourite romance authors, I must say that her recent works are not as fascinating as those single-word titled ones--the 'S' series, the 'R' series, the 'D' series, the 'M' series, 'Affair' and 'With This Ring'. I have re-read those books from time to time and they never fail to amuse me. AQ's style has changed in some degree in her recent books--lesser romance and the writing seemed somewhat dry. Nevertheless, you can always find her trade-mark writing in her works--witty dialogues, absorbing plot, compelling suspense, genuine and truthful emotion between the main characters--there is no silly heroine nor overbearing/insufferable hero that annoy you; there is no big misunderstanding between the main characters resulting in heartach or separation. AQ never writes an exorbitant emotional scene nor an excessive word or repetitive phrases that distract and drive you crazy. Her writing is always fluent and fast-paced, never vulgar, very in command of the language. All in all, very entertaining and enjoyable, worth your time and money.

Summary: A fun, lighthearted read........
Comment: This is my second book by Amanda Quick...DEFINITELY not my last...what a charming Story..I love a fast paced read with silliness and sexiness combined..and "Seduction" was just what I was in the mood for. I really enjoyed Julian and Sophy..I thought it was fabulous how she never backed down...I'm on the lookout for Anne and Daregate's story next! This really is a sweet book...I would reccomend it.
