The Seducer

Good to the Last Drop!

This book delivered a solid romantic story. I only gave four stars because the love was a tad bit sappy and the story was almost a cliche. The author saved the plot with excellent dialog and an interesting mix of villains and side characters. I highly recommend this author and will gladly purchase more of her books.

Fantastic Book

This is one of the best books that I have ever read.The subplots were woven into the main plot masterfully. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series. Anyone who loves historical fiction and the Regency Era does not want to miss this.

Great series

I've enjoyed every one of the Dueling Society members' stories. Underlying mystery continues throughout so it's best to read them in order. Some characters appear in all of the series. Love the suspense, unexpected twists and the unique characters in each story.

I loved this book!!! Couldn't put it down!!

This was my first Madeline Hunter book. It was a page-turner and I couldn't put it down. I finished it in a couple of days which isn't typical for me.
The story, as it unfolds with several cliff hangers, kept me totally engrossed and guessing about what would happen or be divulged next. The romance scenes are steamy and riveting. The dialogue between them, combined with Madeline's way of writing snippets of what they're thinking, builds up a great chemistry between them and kept me engrossed in their story. The subplots are equally interesting and the final details in the end ties everything together in ways that I wouldn't have expected. (I was guessing the whole way through and never could've anticipated some of it)
This book is a keeper and will be in my permanant collection with others that I keep to read again in the future. I highly recommend this book and can't wait to read another by Madeline Hunter.

Awesome book ~ REPRINT

I love Diane and St. John. His torment and focused ambition, paired with her innocence and determination. His to take down a conspiracy she has unwittingly been a victim of, and hers to find a place in the world, a family she was sure was lost. Post Napoleon Paris and Georgian London a backdrop to the drama, the author takes us on a heart wrenching and sometimes traumatic journey into who survives tragedy not unscathed but able to love and heal. Two people lost in a world they think they know, and find it only in each other. *Sigh*

This Author Does Great Series....

This novel is a subtle, quaint love story essential to the rest of the series. Although it was far from perfect, it was well-written and the characters were interesting. But it does go rather long. Also, I liked Daniel St. John's friends (who end up with their own novels) but the dates were off. This story takes place in 1818. We're introduced to Daniel's friend Vergil, whose story is told in *The Saint*, the second book. But Vergil has supposedly already become involved with his 'heroine' in this book. How can that be? By the time Vergil meets his heroine in his own book, it's 5 years later and Daniel and Diane have children!

Good Book....but...

I enjoyed this book, but I thought Diane was very weak, with little personality. What exactly made Daniel fall in love with her? He was too smart and sophisticated to settle for just a pretty face; he was an awesome, perfectly done hero. What bothered me about Diane was that she'd lived a sheltered 'common' life with no servants and no money. She claimed to identify with regular folk, but once she became swept up in St. John's world, she changed. Example: While visiting Lady Pennell, Diane and Daniel's sister, Penelope are sitting in Penelope's chamber while a young girl, a servant, unpacks Penelope's clothes and hangs them. There's only the one girl, and 'Diane's garments wait for attention later.' Rather than just sit there watching this servant work, wouldn't the decent thing have been for Diane to go and hang up her own clothing? A formally common person would have, I think. Other than that, I thought the story itself was really good, mainly because of Daniel St. John.

Absolutely Loved It!

This book is full of romance, sensual intimacy and historical intrigue! After I got finished reading it, I got online and ordered the rest of The Seducer series. It's a must - you'll have a great new series to get enthralled in.
