Review: Seduction by Lauren Smith

I will admit, I love just about anything British, but there is just something about Tristian that is to die for. I devoured this book I can’t wait for the last installment.

SEDUCTION picks up where Forbidden ended, with Tristian and Kat heading home for the holidays.  What they didn’t expect was to discover that their divorced parents were dating and now engaged.  Their parents relationship now throws their relationship into turmoil, as Tristian tries to figure out a way from them to secretly still see each other and Kat does her best to keep her future step-brother to just that…step-brother.

Tristian gives readers, even more, reasons to fall in love with him with this installment.  He wrestles with the spot he and Kat find themselves in.  He wants Kat like he’s wanted no other, needs to be around her just as much as he needs to bed her.  He tries to understand where Kat is coming from while at the same time pushing her to realize what they have and fight for it.   Then there is Kat.  She’s absolutely torn between her father’s happiness and her own.  And I could completely understand her willingness to let her father finally have his.  Plus there was the knowledge that she was not the kind of woman the future Earl of Pembrook would be allowed to marry.  Each time she pushed Tristian away, it was two-fold:  protect her heart from the heartbreak she knew was coming and ensure her father finally found happiness.  It was heartbreaking, especially since readers know the chemistry Tristan and Kat have together is something that won’t be ignored…no matter who much one or both of them wants to.

I can’t wait for the final installment in this series.  I have a feeling Tristan’s father is going to make things much worse before our couple can find their HEA.
