Seducing The Bridesmaid was a story I was looking forward to so much because Regan is the smart a** city girl and Brock is the laid back sexy cowboy and that to me screams Sexual Tension. That's exactly what this was too, a delicious and sometimes frustrating push and pull between the two characters.With the bridesmaids betting on which guy they want and both Christine and Julie set with their guys, that leaves Logan and Brock. Regan has her sights set on Logan seeing as how he's the more stable choice with his career as a CEO of a major corporation going for him. A corporate girl herself, Reagan is a "Take no sh--" ball busting woman who's worked her way up to become one of the top headhunters in NYC. She's never been one to think about settling down but being at the wedding of her best friend is causing her to reevaluate the path her life is heading down. This is a subject I am sure many women can relate to. We all come to that point in our lives when we want to settle down and start a family. It's only natural to feel this way when you see people close to you, who you love and cherish, happy. Brock is NOT at all what she's looking for so why can't she seem to stay away from him? I'll tell you why, it's that sexy s*** eating grin, his sultry southern drawl and his gorgeous sex hair that has Reagan hot and bothered. Me too for that matter.Brock was an easy going laid back kind of guy. First appearances peg him as a simple country boy with nothing better to do than live off his family's wealth. Reagan sure does peg him for that but the more I learned about Brock, the more I started to love him. His family is wealthy and he's got a comfy position at McNeil enterprises but what most people don't know is that he grew and founded his own non profit organization that caters to abused women and children. After growing up watching Reed, one of his best friends, go through so much violence at a young age he vowed to help as many kids as he could. I mean, come on! Right there you gotta love this guy! The guy everyone seemed to write off as a country charmer who spent his daddy's money and bedded as many women as he could turned out to be the sweetest guy in the history if sweetest guys. What attracted me to him though was his insane amount of patience it took to deal with Reagan. GOD, she was a nightmare at times and he still gave her chance after chance.From their first encounter where Regan took complete control seducing Brock to get the attraction between them out of the way I knew she was going to be a handful. With her controlling attitude and stand-offish behaviour towards Brock and just her general prejudice towards him turned me off and had me angry at times. There was a particular moment though where she won me to her side and that's when she finally showed the vulnerability beneath that thick skin. A moment when everyone but her is called in to begin a  search party for Christine and Tyler when they get lost in the woods and her feelings of worthlessness to her friends made me feel connected to her. I got how she felt because I've often struggled with the same set of emotions. She put it best when she said the reason for her hard shell was because to make it a mans world you either have to be a delicate showpiece or a ball busting bitch. It takes a while for Regan and Brock to get on the same page because she is still hung up on Logan as the better choice and when Brock's patience finally starts to wear thin you start to think it's not in the cards for them.It took a while for me to warm up to the story. This one had me more on the edge of my seat with the angst between these two characters. If they weren't fighting with each other or fighting their attraction they were fighting against themselves and what they wanted out of life. Seducing The Bridesmaid made my blood boil, my heart melt and my pulse race. You'll definitely need a stress ball on hand when reading this but the soft cushiony landing Robert delivered in closing was well worth the fight.
