3.75 starsSEDUCING THE ENEMY is the first instalment in Noelle Adams's contemporary, adult, romance Heirs of Damon series focusing on the Damon family heirs and their uncle/father Cyrus Damon.  This is billionaire businessman Harrison Damon and Marietta Edwards's storyline. Fifteen years earlier Marietta was the sole survivor of a car accident that claimed the life of the driver and her older sister leaving Marietta injured and struggling to survive.  In town for the civil hearing against the family responsible for the deaths, Marietta will come face to face with her past and her destiny.Told from two distinct points of view the storyline follows the building relationship between Marietta and Harrison Damon. An accidental meeting will force our couple into an apprehensive alliance while the Damon family investigates the appearance of a woman closely connected to a family secret.  Although their attraction is immediate much of the storyline follows Harrison's need to push away the woman who calls to his heart. At times he was cruel and condescending but given the circumstances anyone would be suspicious of Marietta's untimely arrival.  There is a definite sexual attraction-one fueled by a night passion-but an attraction that may be destined to fail when the truth about their connection is finally revealed.Noelle Adams pulls the reader into a storyline of haunting family secrets, patriarchal control and forgiveness. We are introduced to Andrew Damon, a man whose position in the family is fraught with useless ideals and complicated scenarios; Uncle Cyrus is the hardened head of the family who has seen his share of pain and money hungry parasites which all result in an uneasy alliance when the victim's family appear to be setting them up to take the fall. The secondary characters are intriguing, intense and will captivate the reader. Andrew Damon's storyline is next.SEDUCING THE ENEMY is a fast paced, engaging storyline where two families at war will find resolution through acceptance and love.  Noelle Adams has written a love story between two strangers who met one fateful night resulting in the forgiveness between families; the acceptance of responsibility and the binding of two hearts.I was gifted a copy
