What happens when you’re forced to seduce the one person you vowed never to love?

You get screwed … in more than one way. 

I walked out of Tucker Middleton’s bedroom seven years ago, leaving him hurt and angry. Now I need his help; the only way I can get it, is to make him think I want him back. 

The only problem is we have silently vowed to hate one another for the rest of our lives. In order to get Tucker to help me—I have to seduce him. 

Easy right? 

Hell yes! I’m the CEO of CMI Consulting. If I set my mind to something, I make it happen. 

Charleston Monroe is playing me for a fool. If she believes for one second I’m going to let her walk into my life to help her save the very job that ripped her away from me, she’s got another thing coming. 

She thinks she can seduce me, and I let her believe she can. After all, I’m getting what I’ve always wanted. 

Her. 

Caution: This story contains crazy hot sex, and one shaved pussy.

My Review:

Not having read any other books by the author before, I didn’t know what to expect, but needless to say I was impressed with the story from beginning to end. From the cover to the intriguing synopsis, Seduce Me is a story about second chance romance with a few twists to keeps us wanting for more.

At the beginning of the story we are introduce to Charleston (Charlie) Monroe, a twenty-eight year old who has been groomed all her life to become the next CEO of her father’s billion-dollar global consulting firm. Although she has years before that happens, things quickly change when her parents passed away and she has to take charge of the company. Some question her ability to run the company and she doesn’t know what to do to make them believe in her. To make things worse the board tells her about a clause that her grandfather put in his will, one that requires her to marry in order to become the next CEO of the company if anything were to happen to her parents. Charlie doesn’t know what to do, she has a very limited time to get married and with the requirements that her future husband needs to have she is left with no one to turn to. That is until she sees Tucker Middleton again that things start to change for her. 

Having met in college, Charlie and Tucker were inseparable until everything became too much for her and she left him a note before leaving him for good. It has been seven years since then and she hasn’t really seen Tucker but being best friends with his sister, it was only a matter of time before she saw him again. When she finds out that Tucker meets the requirements for her future husband, she sets out to seduce him in order to get him to marry her. But spending time together has brought them closer and she has to come clean before it’s too late.

Charlie stole Tucker Middleton’s heart and he hans’t been able to forgive her for what she did to him seven years ago. Everyone warned him about Charlie’s father and how much pressure he put on her in order for her to run the company some day. But he didn’t listen and just when they were getting closer she left him, breaking his heart in the process and that’s how he vowed to stop loving her ever since. He has worked really hard to own a successful bar and he is proud of being independent and not relying on his father’s money. What surprised him the most was see Charlie again, their first encounter since what happened is not great, they end up arguing and he hurts her feelings. But when he learns about the plan that she is making to seduce him he has a plan of his own right away. To seduce her in return and make her pay for what she did. Tucker quickly finds out that he has never stopped loving Charlie and he needs to convince her that they belong together before she leaves him for good again.

Without a doubt, Seduce Me is the perfect introduction to the Austin Singles series. It was filled with so much chemistry between Charlie and Tucker. It’s evident that both of the characters have their own pasts to overcome, but together they are able to help each other move forward. I absolutely loved their banter and their sizzling steamy scenes. Kelly Elliott did a great job with the overall plot and pace. Everything was great, though the author could have explained a few things a bit further towards the end. Other than that, Seduce Me was a great story that I would highly recommend picking up. I loved the secondary characters and cannot wait to read more about them in the next books in the series. Will definitely be on the look out for those and any other works by the author. :)

My Rating:

{EXCERPT}

Rolling over, I pulled the covers over my head and moaned.

“Oh shit,” I whispered. Even my whispered words hurt my head. I hadn’t drunk like that in a long time.

Note to self: Give up alcohol. Except wine. Wait. No. Never ever give up wine. 

With my head still buried, I tried to think back to last night. The last thing I remembered was talking to that guy . . . Brad. No Billy.

Bobby? Brady?

Who cares? I need aspirin.

I pushed the covers over my head and went to get out of bed. I froze when I saw the sheets.

Oh. My. God.

These aren’t my sheets.

Turning, I looked at the bed.

This isn’t my bed.

Glancing down, I gasped. I’m not wearing any clothes. Covering my mouth, I jumped up. “I didn’t. Oh God, please tell me I didn’t. Terri! I’m going to kill her.”

Frantically looking around, I saw my purse on the chair in the corner. Rushing over to it, I dug through it until I found my phone. As I waited for that whore to answer her phone, I mumbled, “She broke the number one girlfriend code. Don’t let your friend leave with a guy when they’re drunk!”

“Hey, girl! So? Did you get laid like you wanted? Please tell me yes cause this would make a great story.”

My heart jumped to my throat as a small sound came from my lips. “Wh-what? Why? How could you? You let me go off with him? What if he had killed me!”

She laughed. “Hardly. But then again, you do drive him up a wall, and he has mentioned snuffing you out a time or two.” My finger and thumb went to the bridge of my nose. “What are you talking about?”

Terri muffled the phone, then laughed. “Hello? Terri! I’m at a strange man’s house, I don’t remember anything, and I’m naked.”

“Wait. You’re naked?”

“Yes!”

“Oh, wow. Shit just got really interesting. Where’s Tucker?”

Tucker? How in the hell would I know where Tucker was?

“I don’t know! I don’t care. Terri. I don’t know where I am. He could come back any minute, and I’m standing here naked. Oh my God. Do you think I had sex with him?”

“Do you feel like you had sex?”

Stopping, I jumped around a bit. “No. I’d be sore if I did, right? Fuck if I know, it’s been so long.”

Terri sighed. “It really has been that long. You’ve done forgotten how it feels, huh?”

“Aww, hell, Mr. Pootie!”

“I’m sure he’s fine. Let’s get back to what happened between you and Tucker last night.” I shook my head as I glanced around the room for my clothes. Dropping to my knees, I looked under the bed.

“Why are we talking about Tucker? I have bigger problems.” Then I heard a male voice clear his throat.

“Oh God,” I whispered. “He’s in the room, Terri. I’m naked! I can’t find my clothes.” Terri laughed. “Okay, well, have fun. Tell Tucker I said hey.”

My brows furrowed, and I was about to say something when the line went dead. It was then I felt the change in the room, and everything from last night came crashing back into my poor brain, causing my head to pound harder.

Slowly lifting up, I peered over the bed, only to find Tucker leaning up against the doorjamb. He wore a shit-eating grin on his face, and fuck me, he looked so gorgeous.

Oh no.

I swallowed hard. “Um . . . I can’t, um. Well, it appears I am . . . you see, I can’t find my, ahh . . . the dress I had on.” Jesus. Why do I act like an idiot around him? Why!

“Your clothes had throw up on them. They’re almost dry.”

My stomach dropped. “Did we . . . ?” He smiled. Full on dimples and all. God, I want him. Even in my current hungover condition, I’ve never wanted this man more than right now.

Wait. No. I don’t!

Yes . . . yes, you do.

Crap. What if I already had him? And I don’t remember. I’m going to be so pissed off if we had sex and I don’t remember it. “No, we didn’t sleep together, and for the record, you got yourself undressed.”

Relaxing, I let out the breath I didn’t realize I held in.
