Sweet Seduction Shadow started off with a great premise if you're a sucker for a damsel in distress like I am.  Frightened Abby is a girl on the run who can't trust anyone. We learn that Abby has been on the run for five years from a brutal criminal that became obsessed with her when she was a child. Ben Tamati is a tatted up hottie with an interest in Abby that starts as professional but doesn't end there. If you read the earlier books, you may remember Ben being introduced as an employee of Anscombe Security. Ben and Abby's relationship starts quickly once the two come face to face and Ben helps Abby confront her past and the almost cult-like childhood she had within the criminal compound she lived within.For readers expecting a sexy read based on book one and two in the series, Nicola Claire doesn't disappoint! There is plenty of steam to go around. I thought these two were going to be all kind of hot together.  And they were. Abby cranks up the heat right from the beginning with her erotic dreams of a sweet smelling man and later Abby and Ben burn up the sheets together. I would have liked to learn a little more about Ben's past but this book focuses more on Abby's life.  I hope that we learn more about both of these characters in later books!I still think that book one in the series is still my favorite. I didn't like book two as much and I think book three could have been better (there was just so many aspects going in that could have worked great). With all that being said, I will definitely read book four when it is released. I'm not sure if it's the readability factor or the fact that these books remind me a lot of one my all-time favorites (Kristen Ashley's Rock Chicks) but I'm hooked!
