So Genevieve has made mistakes, some real doozies and she desperately needs legal help to sort out her conniving ex-boyfriend. Her ex is claiming he has a right to half of her business. She goes to the law firm of Anscombe, Drake and Kline for advice and representation. getting  more than she bargained for when she meets Dominic Anscombe in the lift on the way to her appointment. The firm takes on her case and Dominic takes a personal interest in Genevieve.What Genevieve doesn't  realise is that her ex is involved with some nasty underworld types. Genevieve is determined to save her shop no matter what the cost. As they book progresses that cost gets higher and higher. I just don't know about Genevieve, she seems like a sweetie but a bit naive and weak. Case in point she has taken her ex back not once, not twice but four times!I did like the character, but she drove me crazy sometimes. She seemed to take a stand about the wrong things and makes some stupid moves. I felt like there was a curiosity factor to Dominic's attraction to begin with.  Genevieve isn't his usual type and a bit klutzy around him. He can't anticipate her actions so it keeps him guessing. However it did seem to bloom into real emotions as they get to know each other. He was very patient with Genevieve, however there was a definite problem with communication between these two. I suppose that keeps the story moving but more than once you wished Genevieve would just come out and ask about why Dominic is disappearing to go and "meet" someone.One of the fist things I noticed about "Sweet Seduction Sacrifice" was that it was completely in Genevieve's point of view. Well that, I though to myself is what you get for not downloading the sample before reading a book. As anybody who follows my blog knows I am really like multiple points of view in a story. When I started reading and the story sucked me straight in. It takes a lot of skill to show other character's emotions through one persons point of view. But Nicola Claire manages to do this well. She introduces an interesting cast of characters and creates imitate views into their personalities.I also loved the New Zealand setting it gave the story a point of difference.Even though Genevieve wasn't  my favourite lead character of all time she is balanced out by Dominic who comes across as a great, alpha hero.  I did really enjoy Sweet Seduction Sacrifice. Well written with the right mix of action, humour and romance.
