Review: Loved it
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is the first book I've read by this author so I wasn't sure what to expect. This story is based around Genevieve who owns a great coffee place called Sweet Seduction she discovers she's in danger of losing this due to her ex-boyfriend Brett suing for half, deciding she needs legal advice she meets Dominic and a whole host of great alpha males. Genevieve discovers things are much worse with Brett than she ever imagined and we're taken on a wonderful ride with crime, gambling, kidnapping, hostages and of course romance. I loved Gen and Dom although I did find her more than a little naive at times that it became annoying. One of the best things about this book on top of the story, humour, romance, and drama was the secondary characters they were wonderfully written to such an extent that I could picture all of them with their own books, so much time had been spent making them into full interesting people that you really care about which is a feat in itself since this is done with all of them. The reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because I found it too far fetched in places, for example she'd been with Brett for seven years then on discovering he'd stolen her inheritance of one hundred and fifty thousand twelve months earlier she'd kicked him out only to take him back four more times, apparently he'd been sleeping on the sofa for about two years and they hadn't been together properly for years so it was difficult to see what she was getting out of this relationship and why she would take him back, there were several instances like this throughout the book but once I'd decided I was committed I went along for the ride, to be honest I loved all the characters so much I couldn't put it down. I read and love fantasy books but in something like this I would have toned down bits to make it more realistic it honestly didn't need it the characters carry the book.While I enjoyed this book very much I felt it could have been so much better, this review is a bit of a contradiction I know since there is a lot about this that annoyed me but despite all it faults I really loved reading it and to be honest I feel 3 stars would be a more accurate rating but once I started reading I couldn't put it down and really enjoyed it so I'm sticking with 4.
