Summary: BORING STORY THAT WENT ON FOREVER!!!
Review: I was so disappointed with this book. The story just dragged on and on and on.... It's just so slow paced and makes you want to skip a lot of pages which I did. I read the first chapter, the middle one and the last one. I finished the book in 30 minutes and then returned it to the bookstore. Thank god they gave me back my money. This book is definitely not a keeper.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HOT! HOT! HOT!
Review: I'm sure my family wondered why I had a silly grin on my face while I read this book. You read it and find out why. MY, My, my.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well kiss my aspidistra. . . this is a good book
Review: Not only is this book sexy and interesting but funny to boot. I really love the supporting characters they offer so much comedic releif. I always find myself laughing out loud whenever I read it (wich is quite often.) After rereading it, for what I think is the 5th time, I came to the conclusion that this novel is tied for all time favorite with the Pirate and the Pagan (another wonderful book) I never want to put this book down when I read it. However, all good things must come to an end.

Anyway, buy this book no matter what other horrible reviews you read. I swear on my life Adam and Antonia are worth the wait!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well kiss my aspidistra. . . this is a good book
Review: Seduced was a good book but a little bit long winded. Antonia is a likeable character (this is not always the case in Henley books) and Adam is typical male hero (Tall, Dark, Yummy).

After a sailing accident Antonia starts to play her twin brother Anthony after it is feared that he is lost at sea. The two had been sailing together when a squall blew up. She does this to save the family estate from falling into the hands of her underhanded and cruel cousin Bernard. At the same time Adam is on his way back to England to set up home, and to take care and lead his wards. (Antonia and Anthony) The twins father is now dead and as named Savage their gardian. An added twist to this is the fact that Savage just left Antonia's mom and is in fact plotting to make her his wife sometime in the future.

The story had great potential in the fact that there was intrigue, beautiful and exotic setting (Cylone,Venice during carnaval), tradmark Henley love scenes but over all the stories pace was slow. It will take you over a hundred pages before "Tony" and Savage will even lay eyes on each other, and then almost to the end of the book before Savage finally realizes that "Tony" is a She not a He. Yes, some of this was information leading up to the end result but I feel that you could lose about a hundred pages and not lose the context of the story. Not much romance between the two characters really. But then how could there be when they are both suppose to be male and hetorosexual! And then there is the fact that Adam had been interested in Antonia's mom and this is not addressed again until much later on.

Overall I would have to say my rating is based on the fact that it is a Henley book, and I have almost always liked her stories. She has the ability to take true history and true historical figures and intertwine them into a very good story.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: I'm torn between a good plot and too long of a story.
Review: This book was good but it was too long. It dragged in parts. There were so many subplots that had nothing to do with the book. I mean there was page after page, after page of the prince and his mistress. Not only was it unnecessary, it was BORING, and SICKENING. They were so lovydovy it was gross. I found myself (at times) reluctant to pick it back up. I couldn't even skip the pages and pages of the prince and his mistress because I kept telling myself that of course if had something to do with the plot. WRONG!!

On the good side, it had a very good plot (the reason for 3 stars). But come on even after Tony slept with Adam and talked to him all night, he still couldn't figure out who she was? Okay, she had a mask painted on but don't you think her voice would give her away? Again, this was a good book but very fantastical. Some of the things Tony did, i.e., the duel, the race, etc. were too unbelievable. Isn't the whole reason for reading to be brought into the plot and not keep telling yourself "yeah, right."

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: HOT! HOT! HOT!
Review: This book was sensational! I have had it for over a year and have re-read it many times. Everytime it pulls at my heart. Adam is a very magnetic character!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great!
Review: This book was wonderful! Lots of steamy love scenes, intelligently written, action all over. It took over a hundred pages for the two main characters to meet, but when they did, it was worth the wait!
