4.5 StarsI’ll admit I love a sexy alpha hero; there’s something about all those three types rolled into to one man that drives me a little bit crazy but more than that I love, love when the heroine in a book is a sexy geek. Mostly because it’s unexpected and largely because geeky women don’t usually see themselves as sexy which makes them even more attractive. In The Seduction Game computer expert Kate Kelly is the lone holdout that is keeping millionaire Will Thornton’s development project from going forward. Having only dealt with his bullying assistant, Kate doesn’t expect the instant attraction she feels when Will walks into her shop for the first time and Will is equally affected. While that might sound like a good thing, their mutual attraction has them both scrambling to try and figure out how to proceed on all fronts. This was an entertaining, smart, and sexy story with characters you can’t help but adore and a plot that keeps you guessing from beginning to end.There is so much about Kate that made her such a likeable heroine; she’s super smart, she doesn’t take crap from anyone, she stands by what she believes in, and she doesn’t change who she is to please anyone. She’s also a wee bit stubborn and somewhat socially awkward which kind of adds to her charm. I kind of wanted to hate Will but I couldn’t, as soon as he meets Kate it’s obvious he’s taken with her but is unsure how to handle her. I like that she challenges him and that he realizes he needs to help her understand what he’s trying to do with the area in which her shop sits. He doesn’t bully unlike his brother in law assistant and he really tries to see the situation from her perspective. All of that made me respect him for the businessman and awesome brother and son that he is.From the minute these two meet there’s just this electrical current in the air. It was interesting to see Will, a very confident man, be thrown by this geeky heroine. However, Kate is not unaffected and she tends to blush and stammer around Will which he finds enthralling. Will does woo Kate trying to make her understand about his development but he also gives her time to think about what he’s wanting and he also wants to spend time with her without talking about business. This really made me appreciate him all the more.It was easy to accept these two falling into a relationship and figuring out that there was something more between them than attraction. Yes, Will makes a big error in judgment but he also makes a very grand gesture to make it right.I can’t say enough good things about The Seduction Game; the writing was superb, the characters were fun and completely loveable, and the plot had enough depth to keep me thoroughly engrossed. This is my first book my author Emma Shortt and I can’t wait to see what she puts out next.Review copy provided for an honest review
