“He’d had rough, wild sex before, but with her… She’d been so innocent, a bloody virgin, but she’d responded like a sex goddess…”

Bloody Hell Addicting!!!!! That's right, I am addicted to this series. Lauren Smith has me hooked. I didn't expect to get addicted to this forbidden romance so fast but I am and I can't help it. Maybe I can blame Lauren for her swoony hero, Tristan, who happens to be British. Yes, who doesn't love a hot British man whispering dirty and sweet nothings in your ear.



Seduction picks off where it last left off in Forbidden so you would definitely need to read the first book in order to understand the tangible and palpable bond that Tristan Kingsley and Katherine Roberts have for one other. So what makes this book so bloody hell addicting? Well, the answer is simple. Lauren Smith has perfectly composed and written a story that has depth, heat, sensuality, and a romance that leaves you with that warm fuzzy feeling.

“Because five minutes ago, Katherine Roberts had walked through the door with her father, Clayton. My Kat. The girl he’d ruthlessly pursued and sweetly seduced until she’d succumbed and let him take her to bed. The girl he’d fucked so hard she’d had trouble walking the next morning. The girl he’d opened up to about things he’d never shared with anyone. And he still hadn’t had enough of her to satisfy his obsession. My stepsister. Future stepsister.”

The story of Tristan and Kat continues with their sudden surprise and dismay that they could future step-siblings. As much as they both love their parents, this connection that Tristan and Kat is something that can't be easily extinguish. After the whole revelation of learning that their parents are engaged, Kat tries so hard to distance herself from Tristan because she knows that the further she continues to be around him, she might fall hard and get her heart broken.

“He owned her with that kiss, possessed every part of her.”

Confused and a bit irritated that Kat is distancing herself from him, Tristan tries his best to stay away. But like a moth to a flame, he can't help it. The possibility of what if this girl is the one lingers in Tristan's head and that is one what if that he doesn't want to take a chance of losing. So as Tristan breaks down Kat's guarded walls, they continue to embark on this new found connection and secret relationship. But what happens when a photo of Tristan and Kat is leaked to the press and made of a media spectacle? How will Kat and Tristan face their parents when they discover that these two have been having a secret relationship? And what will Tristan's father do in light of the recent scandal?

“Falling in love with him was too dangerous an adventure for her. Heartbreak was not on the list of things she ever wanted to experience. Still, she stood there, so close to him, unable to walk away.”



So if you read my previous review, you would understand my hesitation on reading another "stepbrother romance" but in all honesty, Lauren Smith went beyond that generalized trope and gave her readers a romance that can steal your hearts. She didn't just generalized that Tristan and Kat could be future step-siblings but she allowed readers like myself to see an honest and raw relationship of two fated strangers, who met and fell in love but had a sheer bad luck of coincidence when they discovered that their parents are engaged. What has me addicted to this series is this connection of Tristan and Kat. I love Tristan. He didn't come off an as an arrogant rich Brit but a simple ordinary lad who didn't find the right person that is until this beautiful and innocent American girl found a way into his heart. I adore the relationship of Tristan and Kat. It's complicated but in the end, it's beautiful. It is the kind of relationship that you can't simply extinguish because this bond that they have for each other is so deep.They too can't even put into words of how strong this magnetic pull is.

“She wasn’t falling anymore. She’d fallen. Kat loved Tristan Kingsley. It was a new, fresh, frightening love, but it was love.”

Seduction definitely did turn up the notch in the SEXY department. Ms. Smith had the alarms blazing because Tristan and Kat were scorching HOT!!! I swear that man can only make taking a shower oh so entertaining and dirty!!! What is left to say but GO READ THIS SERIES!!!!!!! I am so glad that I took a chance on this series because I am definitely going to check out more works from Lauren Smith while I TRY to be patient for the release of the final installment. Well, the KEY word is TRY. So if you are looking for a story that is layered with steamy scenes, raw emotions, and a forbidden love then go give this series a READ!!!!
