Surviving Seduction is aptly named as Selena and Dan's story continues and their growing love is tested by a seductive newcomer, Jack, and Dan's unequivocal determination to ensure Selena's safety. Readers will be happy to know that the story continues where Surviving Passion left off. As the story begins, Dan is still difficult to read and Selena is still insecure with her place in the Crater society, and most specifically, as Dan's partner.But as the story grows, so do Dan and Selena. Since the big fight at the end of Surviving Passion, Dan realizes that he is indeed human; vulnerable to injury and death, and he finds that unacceptable and strives to find a way to increase the security of his community. Ultimately, his goal is to provide protection and security for Selena. She is his biggest vulnerability. When the opportunity arises, he galvanizes a plan to provide that security, but the solution sends Selena in a tailspin, rocking the shaky foundation she has managed to build at the Crater. And as doubts about her future with Dan ensue, Jack's seductive suggestions begin to resonate with her.While the beginning is much more character driven than the action packed prequel, Surviving Passion, there is tension galore throughout the book as the author fleshes out the romance between Dan and Selena. It sets the stage for book 3 with newcomers Jack and his sisters Loraine and Amy; and the Grazers, a group of 78 men, woman and children, who constantly travel the plains to allow their cattle to graze. But, while more character driven, the readers can expect a few heart pounding moments including a kidnapping, attempted sexual assault and a huge finale - Maia style - fraught with life threatening drama, and a conclusion that will satisfy fans of Surviving Passion.For new readers, I highly recommend reading Surviving Passion first as this book is a continuation of that story.  I highly enjoyed this book and encourage SP fans to pick it up. I was completely satisfied with the ending and can't wait to see what happens next!
