SEDUCE (BEAUTIFUL ROSE) by Missy Johnson
SYNOPSIS
Twenty-five year old Jack Falcon doesn’t do relationships, and why would he when he has woman after woman literally throwing themselves at him? For Jack, life is perfect just the way it is. He works hard and he plays harder.
Jack’s life changes when he meets Belle. Unlike any woman he’s ever met, there is something about this girl that makes him unable to keep away, something beyond the youthful beauty and her innocent spirit. Belle is strong and independent, a big leap from the usual brainless chicks he tends to attract.
Jack begins a dangerous game. He is determined to seduce Belle, and without realizing it, his feelings for her develop beyond anything he has ever felt before. Things become complicated when he learns there are good reasons as to why he should stay the hell away from her.
How can you stay away from someone you want to spend every waking minute with? And what do you do when you know eventually you will destroy that person?
As their feelings for each other deepen, Jack struggles with his own internal demons which threaten to rip them apart. Jack is torn between following his heart and listening to his head, which keeps telling him he is not good enough for her. She deserves better than what he can give her.
How far will he push before they both fall over the edge?
REVIEW
Seduce is told from Jack’s POV, an unapologetic, hard-partying womanizer:
“The thing is, I’m happy being me and I sure as fuck won’t change for anyone. I don’t need fixing because I’m not broken. I simply work hard and play harder. Things are great. I’m exactly where I want to be at twenty-five years old.”
Seduce totally grabbed me from the very beginning and I read it one sitting. Jack is a rich, callous, irresistible bachelor, who is quite honest about the way he treats women. But I also found him very vulnerable and likable, with a strong support group of very close friends and a brother with whom he shares a close bond. The rest of his family, not so much, which is where his feelings of unworthiness and abandonment come from. Enter the gorgeous and spirited Belle, with whom Jack actually develops a deep emotional attachment. Seduce was going in one direction, with lots of super-steamy and graphic sex scenes, and then, whoa, suddenly took a complete left-turn! This book is a surprising, sexy book with a fabulous conclusion! Looking forward to the next installment from the author, Beautiful Rose.

EXCERPT
“So I’m about to leave, and the question is, are you going to be leaving with me?” I downed the last of my drink and stood up, as if I didn’t care either way. This was easy to do because I really couldn’t care less whether she came with me or not.
She opened her mouth, both shocked and aroused by my forwardness.
“You better shut that pretty little mouth, honey, or I’ll give you something to stick in there,” I grinned. I put out my hand, half expecting her to right hook me in the face.
“Coming?” I asked. She took it uncertainly, allowing me to help her up. I suppressed a laugh, not wanting to be rude, but I couldn’t believe that line had actually worked!
“Do I get to know your name?” she asked breathlessly. I smirked at her, not believing for a second she didn’t know who I was. Everyone knew who Jack Falcon was. Pretending not to recognize me was like pretending not to know who the Queen was.
“Does it matter?” I asked, raising my eyebrows.
“I guess not,” she stammered, following me out the door. It always amazed me how easily they followed.
