This review covers the Sweet Seduction Series Books 1-4.  It is not the norm for me to write negative reviews but felt compelled to do so for this Series and the Author, Nicola Claire.The Author.  One big, monumental mistake an Author can make in this day of new readers flocking to Romantic novels is to ignore your readers.  Since Nicola is a New Zealand native, these books are written in her native tongue; therefore, making it difficult to know the meaning for its American readers. From the beginning, I sent Ms. Claire several private messages asking for clarification.  Not one message returned...NOT GOOD.I give 2 stars for the creation of lovable characters.  No other stars can be issued for any other reason. I am an avid reader and have read some of the most amazing books being published.  Nicola Claire has a fair amount of writing so I am surprised at the quality, authentication of this Series.Here are the problems.  Each book is the same, same format, same scenarios, same abrupt ending.This series is a feature as a whole of; combined, hunky private security commandoes, detectives and an attorney that all run in the same circle.  They are described as "The Best of The Best"; but yet, in each book, commandoes are being ambushed, beat-up, and shot, in one book in particular, one commando that is the leader and the head bad-boy; is shot not once but twice, two separate occasions in the book!  come on!  Enough on that point.  The reader can mirror the sex scenes to each book therefore, book 1 was hot, books 2-4, boring.The decision the author makes in her writings are not logical to the intelligent reader, almost an insult to one's intelligence. There are many holes, important points of interest that are never addressed; my interpretation is the Author simply forgot to address them.After finishing book 4 and still awaiting a response to clarify main issues, I've maid the decision to not read the final-Book 5 and go forth with my review.For Readers:  Buyer beware, the synopsis of the books are interesting and delicious but that is the best part of the Series.  Americans, you will need translations.
