I have to give big Thank You over at TBQ’s Book Palace for having this series on her Lusting For Covers Meme. This book was listed Free and I downloaded and read ASAP. As for the novel it is a Prequel to Twice Tempted (Holland Springs) with Christian who to others goes by Ian and Zoe who used the name Amber under disguise and how they met. I enjoyed their first meeting and their one night of steamy...Have-to-take-a-cold-shower-after sex. Wow Christian knows how to play in the bedroom. I loved how he was able to wake up and knew where he was, what he did that night and not hung over from drugs. I did enjoy the writing style but while coming to the end I was a little confused. I understand this is a prequel and really it depends on you if would want to read it before or after. I was fine reading it before but I had already read the synopsis for Twice Tempted and it say’s that he “left her stranded that night”. So when I got to the end it did not play out that way. He was getting dressed up and is ready to buy her flowers, jewelry etc. for their lunch date. He seemed to be head over heals fallen for her. I had to go back to reread because I felt I must of missed something but nope. I would of given it 2 stars but went with 3 stars because I enjoy the writing style and really hope that it will give me back story on when he supposedly left her.

3 stars-Liked it

Y'all in for a treat tonight. I finished another on my TBR list. Granted it's a novella and was short, but still I finished it. Anyways here is what Seduction of the Billionaire Playboy Actor is about:

Back in July I read Twice Tempted and loved it. You got a glimpse of the animosity Zoe felt towards Christian, but not really got to know what happen all those years ago in LA.

Well, you find how they came together that memorable night in LA. Let me tell you it was a hot and steamy night. That's all I can tell you, after all its not going to take you long to see what happen.

If you haven't read Twice Tempted yet, I would suggest to get this novella to see how it all began. Then get Twice Tempted and see if Zoe and Christian can work out there past.

Well, I hope that you all get a chance to checkout this novella. If not, it's your loss.

Happy Reading!
