Seduction A Novel Amanda Quick 9780553283549 Books

Rape or intended rape is just not sexy; I wish romance writers would understand this. Granted in this story the woman saves herself by drugging her husband but still the entire beginning of the story made me feel disgust for a character I should have liked (husband). I did not like that the heroine felt guilt over protecting herself.
I generally love all of Krentz's books, under all her different names but I can't recommend this one.

Seduction A Novel Amanda Quick 9780553283549 Books Reviews

Love her older writings. Love this book
Seduction was a quintessential Amanda Quick novel with all that good stuff that Amanda is so well known for.....great characters, lots of intrigue, lusty sex scenes and laugh out loud humor. Her characters are so much fun to get to know. As the heroine, Sophy is just wonderful, quirky and smart. Julian has all the great male qualities we come to expect...along with a good dose of stubbornness. I didn't want this story to end. It was everything I had hoped. Now I am off to get me some more Amanda Quick novels to enjoy.
Lovely historic romance from one of my favorite authors. Having re-read this for the unknown number of times I felt I should at least give it five stars because there are not ten.
This author has written several books highlighting strong women characters and this one is no different. This is the story of a country girl who is encouraged to marry a wealthy Earl. She is not delighted with the offer of marriage and after several encounters she agrees, the story is what happens after that!
I thought that this book was ok but not as good as her other stories. Although Sofie strived to be a heroine she was meek and annoying. Julian was a tyrant and boorish. I liked Ann at least she was always true to form.
This book is a bit predictable. The heroine has been in love with the hero since in her late teens but the suicide of her younger sister who was seduced and left with child sets the tone for the title. Sophy and Julian barter for a marriage but she wants time to get to know him and he wants his husband's priviledges and an heir. She tries to untangle the lies and inuendos surrounding her predecessor"s death -against his wishes- while he is embarking on a determined seduction- that she distrusts. When two strong wills clash there always seem to be fireworks created and this story is no different. It is a fun read; the characters are well thought out, behave consistent with their intended personalities, and the consequences occur in a time appropriate fashion. Sophy is her signature smart, independent female and Julian is the writer's quintessential flawed but trustworthy male. This work is a fun read with all"s well that end's well.
Julian Sinclair, Earl of Ravenwood, has selected Sophy Dorring to be his next wife as he needs an heir to continue his family line. His first marriage was a disaster, with his wife Elizabeth cuckholding him and ultimately drowning in the estate pond. Sophy, orphaned at 17 and having failed during her one and only season, should have been grateful for the offer but turned Lord Ravenworth down. Only after getting his word to some specific terms was she willing to marry him.

Sophy's a pretty special young woman for her time. She has a natural talent for understanding and using herbs for medicinal purposes and has a reputation for being skilled at dispensing the perfect remedies. She's practical and extremely intelligent. Julian thought that because of her age and she having resided in the country he was getting someone who would provide him an heir and be no trouble. He got more than he bargained for in Sophy who wants time for them to get to know each other and she's incredibly strong willed but respectful. Both want a seduction but have polar opposite views of what that means.

Julian's pretty jaded from his past experience so trust is a huge issue in this story. It was incredibly interesting to watch both of them struggle to communicate their needs while attempting to dominate each other. Sophy's trying to get him to express love through little seductive actions, like notes and attention; Julian thinks that if he makes lovemaking a great experience for Sophy and makes all of her decisions for her, he will have artfully seduced her. What's extraordinary here are these are timeless issues that can be juxtaposed in a modern era and still be relevant. The push/pull tension made for great storytelling.

The dialogue is sophisticated, clever and well crafted. The supporting characters are interesting and provide additional conflicts but don't overwhelm the story; this is all about the relationship between Sophy and Julian, which is pretty complex. Both have great friends that enhance the story. Even when they ultimately have their physical passion, Julian and Sophy still return to their problems. The author quite adeptly uses the third person narrative to transition pretty nimbly between characters, allowing us to see how each interprets the same scenarios time and again. Yet, the pace of the story never suffered, allowing the metamorphism of Julian and Sophy's relationship occur so naturally before us.

I've had this book for almost two years, with my beloved sisters-in-law begging me to open it and read it. I liked everything about this...the story, characters and writing. I may have taken my time getting to this one but now I cannot wait to find more by this author and devour them!
Rape or intended rape is just not sexy; I wish romance writers would understand this.
