First let me say that I am a Maureen Smith fan. And I faithfully stalked her website and FB page religiously. So, what a WONDERFUL surprise it was to see Seducing... was FINALLY available.I was not sure that I was going to like where Ms. Smith would go with Manning and Taylor's story; especially after 20years being apart. But, the way she explained their separate lives in detail helped with them coming together. I especially enjoyed Manning. Whew! He was so sexy and sinful...with His brilliant mind. I enjoyed seeing an author who was able to show an intelligent, strong Black man, who was able to be professional when he needed to be. And, able to turn it off and show his "street cred" too when hanging with his boyz and brothers. I also like the fact that Taylor was a smart, professional woman, with an inner freak waiting to come out- with Manning. (No more Tame Taylor!) I loved reading about the sights and sounds of Atlanta and Paris, as well as laughing at the impromptu step show at the bar-be-que. These descriptions showed a true knowledge of what was going on, or either some studying. Some of the conversations took me back to my college days. What great fun! I loved the strong bond and love that Manning and Taylor had for one another. He truly loved her like a goddess.I thoroughly enjoy Ms. Smith's writing because she ALWAYS shows strong men and women of color; along with positive family relationships. Don't get me wrong, there is always drama and secrets. But, there is also love, loyalty, and forgiveness. I always fond of her including the other characters from previous books, and how she incorporates them all together nicely. Great job Ms. Smith!!! I am truly looking forward to the next book with the Wolf Pack. Montana.... Mr. Sexy, sax Jazz player. Yummy!!
