Summary: Excellent Continuation of the first 2 books
Review: The best way to read this book is to start with rereading the first 2 books. Don't pay attention to reviewers that carp on the amount of sex in the book. Merry Gentry is descended from fertility gods and as she has to get pg, sex is necessary. Especially, in this book, sex equates magical powers. I started reading Seduced By Moonlight the day I got it. Five days later I reread it again and found aspects that I missed the first time around. The only question I have is ... When does the fourth Merry Gentry book come out?????

Summary: Can we have some story to go with the sex...
Review: am a big fan of LKH and both of her series of books, but I have to join others who have said that this book is the weakest of the three in the Merdith Gentry series. Hey all the sex is cool, but after a while all the glowing and breathlessness and being on the verge of dying if she has one more orgasm is just tired. Plus all her Sidhe characters are alike. All are tall, and perfectly slim, with long hair, and perfect "tri-color" eyes. Even the ugliest Sihde is 10,000 time more beautiful than any human. It a bit childish and trite.
Also she has introduce the idea that all the mythical gods from humanities past were all Sihde. Well how come there are no gods of other races mixed in with the Sidhe? This book just has no variety to it. As sexy as she tries to make it, she forgets sex is more than just having GQ cover boys surround your bed. If it wasn't none of us would be getting any. It like she is living out her high school fantasy in these books. I hope the next book in this series concentrates more on the story of the Sidhe than who hair is forest green and eye are gold and blue and ... page after page after page of how perfect they are. One more thing.. if they are so Powerful... ex gods .. then how come they are living under humanities foot. This books makes it seem like they could destroy anything and everything that stood in their way. I don't know.. I'm just disappointed in this book. I hope the next two years it takes her to write the 4th book, she can come up with something better.

Summary: Total waste of reading time
Review: What a disappointment to LKH fans, no story line, nothing making sense just sex and that poorly done. Best of the book was the last couple of chapters but what a waste of money to buy a hardback to enjoy 10-15 min. of reading time. Defininatly the last one of hers I buy new.

Summary: Sexy and imaginative
Review: Plot-schmot. This series is obviously a continuing soap opera, meant to be episodic, rather than wrapping everything up in each book. As such, the stories are very successful. Each new installment is always a page-turner for me, and surprisingly thought-provoking. Hamilton has a wonderful and original way with description--especially when it comes to the men. I love Laurell K. Hamilton's sexy new style!

Summary: Seductive, sexy and so appealing
Review: SBM is amazing, if low on action. There are scenes that are a bit bloody or graphic, if that offends you, don't read this novel. There is growth and development in the male characters, which seemed very important to me, most notably Rhys and Frost. New characters are introduced and there is a lot of setup for the following novels. No it was not action packed like the first two, but all the action that occured was very intense. If the scene in Andais' room didn't do it for you...you have issues. It was worthy of rivaling the best action movies, not to mention the ball...
However, if you have not read the previous two books, don't read this one, it will leave you confused as Ms. Hamilton does not spend half the book recounting the previous two(very much appreciated!) I got the book tuesday and today is Saturday and I've already read the book back to back three times. Probably also due to the fact that I'm having Merry and Anita withdrawl symptoms...

Summary: Was there a story in amongst the sex? If so, I missed it...
Review: Yawn, yawn. Lots of sex with long haired men. "Oh poor me, I'm not pretty" was the extent of Merry's character development. I miss the early AB days, when a girl's best friend was her gun, her second-best friend was a wicked knife, and sex was used to enhance the plot, rather than have sex BE the plot. Next time it'll be the library copy for me. Too bad. I really enjoyed the early books. Now I have to check the jacket to see which series I'm reading...they've both degenerated into a teen-aged boy's fantasy.

Summary: Highly Erotic Dark Fantasy -- That's Short on Plot
Review: There are 2 Kinds of people who did not like this book: There are those who, despite having read Laurell K Hamilton before, are shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that she would write such a highly sexed novel -- despite the fact that anyone who has read her books in the last 2/3/5 years shouldn't be surprised and anyone who opened the book and looked on just about any page -- shouldn't have been surprised, but still people are shocked -- and somewhat indignant as well. They write things like "Oh my GOD Laurell K. Hamilton books have lots of kinky sex" or "frankly all the sex bores me". Fine don't buy another book in this series because she has 16 men now. What do you think will happen in the next book? Then there is the 2nd level of complaint: That it's short on plot. And those people have a point. Seduced by Moonlight is short on plot -- it didn't really bother me because I saw it as something of a Robert Altman film, which is full of characters who drive the story rather than having story drive character. But this is genre fiction and genre fiction is supposed to be about plot. This doesn't have much of one. However, if you like Merry and like the universe she lives in, and don't mind lot's of hot kinky sex then you'll enjoy this book. I did.

Summary: Seduced, indeed.
Review: As third in the series of the Merry Gentry books, this novel sets up the next couple of books exceedingly well. Readers must be warned that they need to read books 1 and 2 (Kiss of Shadows and Caress of Twilight) before tackling Seduced by Moonlight or confusion may rein....That said, I love the direction that Hamilton is going with this; can't hardly wait for the next one.

Summary: Oh Yes! More Yummy Fae Flavor!
Review: I'm well pleased by the latest Merry Gentry book, which gives more intrigue and throws more plot complications into Merry's already complicated life. In a race against her mad cousin to produce a child and thus secure the Unseelie throne, failure means death or worse for not only Merry, but also the people who have allied themselves with her in the interlinked power struggles that pervade both fae courts. Merry has a head start, with her cousin Cel imprisoned for six months for crimes which should have earned him death. But that lead is dwindling and she is is trying to shore up her position with powerful alliances. The Goblins price for continuing a temporary alliance with Merry is high, but she and her men are girding themselves for a war that is fought as much in the bedsheets as on the battle field, and they can't afford to be faint of heart. The agreement with the Goblins is only one of the many chances Merry must take, because as portents and clues surface slowly, the risk of her failure might mean more than her personal doom that of her followers. Ancient gods are gaining power again, artifacts of primordial power have resurfaced, and faceless enemies are striking out to try and slay Merry before she pieces together the few rough bits of the puzzle she gains in each book. Full of blood, sex, and power games, this book is just one portion of a greater story which I'm impatient to read more of.
