THE SEDUCTION is the first in an erotic serial that teeters back and forth along the lines between being scandalous and indecent, sexy and raunchy, or shocking and crude. Roxy Sloane managed to create a well developed, thought out story line that not only keeps the reader on their toes, but also pushes the envelope on what has become commonplace in erotica. I enjoyed every sinful line, from beginning to end, and recommend this to anyone who wants to read something that is steamy yet has a plot to back it up.Because this is only the first part of a serial, this is just an introduction to the story and the characters. It has insanely hot public foreplay scenes, tons of dirty talk, and wets the appetite with a plot that leaves the reader craving more. This isn’t just about a man who seduces women – it arises questions about who hired him to seduce the heroine, why he does what he does and adds a mystery that involves five hundred million dollars.Vaughn is a seducer. People pay him to seduce women, for whatever reason, and document it. His personality fits his job – he exudes sex and charm, yet has a filthy mouth and brazen attitude. In fact, to me he is almost an anti-hero. He’s not sweet. He wouldn’t whisper sweet nothings in your ear or sweep you off your feet with romance. Nope. Vaughn is the man who will have you orgasming twice in the public restroom upon meeting him for the first time.I didn’t know how I felt about him, but I was still intrigued by him. He was a mystery I needed to figure out despite the complete disregard for common decency and social norms. Was I put off by him? At first, yes. Here was a guy that was used to just telling a woman he wanted to have sex with them and them just saying OKAY (don’t even get me started on these kind of women). He was unapologetic and crass, but for some odd reason, I still liked him! Just like she did with this entire book, Roxy toed the line with him – making him say things that portrayed him as an a$$, yet not pushing it too far to alienate me from him.And Keely – I am so glad she wasn’t a virginal, goody two shoes. Was she shocked and appalled by Vaughn at first? Absolutely, however, she didn’t deny that she was attracted to him and fascinated by him and what he could do to her. I liked her sensibility and how open she was to experiencing new things. She questioned Vaughn just enough andWith the evolution of the erotica genre, I find that more and more authors are looking for something to make their books stand out and push the boundaries for shock value. Although I applaud this creativity, for me, it always comes down to the story. In my eyes, sex – in any form – is just an ancillary part of a book and the story – the characters and the plot – determines whether a book is good or not. So when I find a book that has a well developed plot, one where it is obvious the author had thought out the who’s, what’s, when’s, where’s and how’s, in addition to having ridiculously hot, steamy sex scenes, I call myself a lucky reader! THE SEDUCTION is a perfect example of a story that has all the components necessary to make a great book!
