Okay, I need to say this first, and foremost, Will Thornton is NOT a bad boy! I don’t know why the moniker was given to him at all throughout this book. Okay, I get that his sister calls in a bad boy, but it’s more sibling ribbing than anything else.Okay, so now that I got that out of the way, The Seduction Game is the story of two people, polar opposites if you will, who come together because of warring circumstances, and fall in love. It’s one of the oldest romance tropes, enemies to lovers, and I fall for it every time. It’s fun, amusing and always passionate. The Seduction Game doesn’t disappoint at all.I really felt like I was Kate Kelly in a past life. Hell, I could be her in this life too, minus a few things that I’m not going into, because, well, spoilers. She’s super smart, and loves everything geek. She loves computers, Star Trek, Doctor Who, and RPG’s. She’s cosplays and goes to conventions. Did I mention already this was a reference to My Little Pony? I was hooked right there. I really pictured her as a blond Felicia Day, and that makes this book all the better. In my opinion, at least.Kate’s computer shop is smack dab in the middle of a development that Will’s trying to buy, but she’s not willing to sell. When he comes to talk to her in person about selling, the two have an instant connection neither can seem to shake. It’s hot, passionate, and all around perfect.The book had a very British feel to it. I know it takes place in the US, but the author is English so it makes sense. Just some of the terms and names used, it just screamed Britain to me. I only have one complaint about The Seduction Game, the word geek. Yes, I’m a geek and I wholeheartedly admit to it. There’s nothing wrong with it and if it’s used to put someone down, well that’s just wrong. So why am I complaining? It just seemed like Will used it condescendingly, all the time. Yes, he would say how he like geeky Kate, and called her his geek, but it just rubbed me the wrong way. It was like it was the only way that he saw her, not as a person or woman, but a geek. And that just made her seem like less of a person.
