About the author
Janelle Denison
159 books558 followersIt’s hard for me to imagine that I’ve been writing romances for over twenty years now! I started at the young age of 21, just after I got married. Reading romances, and then writing them, came about as a result of having too much time on my hands. When I first married my husband Don, I was working a regular nine to five job and he worked swing shift, from four in the afternoon until midnight. It wasn’t an ideal schedule for newlyweds, and in order to pass those hours when I was alone I started reading romances, and eventually tried my hand at writing them.
The road to publication wasn’t an easy one. It took me five years and dozens of rejections to make my first sale, which was to Harlequin for their “Stolen Moments” line. THE FAMILY MAN, written under the pseudonym Danielle Kelly, was one of the twelve novellas published in 1993 for this promotional line.
It took me another two and a half years (and more rejections!) to sell my second book. HEAVEN’S GIFT (written under my own name) was published in October 1995 by Leisure Love Spell for their “An Angel’s Touch” series. Another two years passed of collecting even more rejections before I finally sold to Harlequin Romance and Harlequin Temptation. At the time, writing for both Temptation and Harlequin Romance provided me with a wonderful creative outlet for both my modern, ultra-sexy stories, and my warmer, traditional romances. But as the years passed, I realized how much I enjoyed writing the sexier stories and streamlined my career accordingly so that I was no longer writing the sweet traditional romances, and instead focused on the hotter, sexier stories for Temptation and Blaze.
After writing over two dozen books for Harlequin, I decided to branch out. I wanted to write anthologies and single titles, and came up with an idea about three sexy brothers with the last name of “Wilde”. Little did I know that those Wilde brothers would become such a sensation with readers. In the second Wilde book, WILDE THING, four Wilde cousins were introduced, and readers started writing in for their stories, too. It’s been a joy and pleasure to write each of the Wilde stories, and I want to thank everyone for purchasing those books and putting them on the USA Today Bestseller list!
I’ve been a full-time writer for years, which consists of being deep in deadlines, writing proposals (growling at the husband to fix a glitch in the computer so I can get back to work!), perusing contracts, line-edits (stressing over a scene that won’t work or characters that just won’t talk or cooperate with my plans for them!), galleys, art-fact sheets, promotion, and other publishing paperwork. Admittedly, I wouldn’t trade all the craziness in for pantyhose, rush hour traffic, and a nine-to-five job again. Writing is hard work, but I find the rewards are well worth the effort. Fan letters are one of those priceless rewards, and can keep me on a high for days! I’ve met the most wonderful people through my books, some of which I now consider good friends.

"4.5 stars" Seductive Fantasy is the first book in the multi-author Fantasies Inc. series that’s set at a group of island resorts catering to their guests’ deepest desires and fondest fantasies. Our heroine, Alexis, is a businesswoman who inherited her uncle’s video gaming company and is on the verge of releasing a new game that could prove to be very profitable. Before that happens, though, she decides to take a little vacation and indulge her fantasies at the island known as Seductive Fantasy where she hopes to meet a man who will show her the true meaning of passion and focus all his attention on her. Our hero, Jackson, also owns a tech company and has just discovered that Alex is using crucial software that he created in her new game, which has him up in arms over this blatant piracy. Angry that Alex would steal his tech, he decides to exact revenge on her by going to the same vacation spot with the intention of seducing her, getting her to fall for him, and then revealing his true purpose before cruelly dumping her. He just didn’t expect to be seduced himself.
Alexis lost her parents when she was young and was raised by her uncle. She followed in his footsteps, getting a degree in computing and then going to work for his company. Upon his death, she inherited it and now runs it as the CEO. The company is about to release a new game called Zantoid that has already created a lot of buzz in the gaming world and promises to earn them a fortune. Needing a little down time after finishing this huge project, she schedules a vacation at Seductive Fantasy. Alex has spent so much time perfecting her craft and then running the company that she hasn’t really dated in the past five years and has minimal relationship experience. Thinking there probably isn’t anyone out there for her, she simply wants to indulge in a week-long, steamy, no-strings affair with a man who focuses solely and completely on seducing her and teaching her what real passion is like. She also hopes to walk away pregnant, feeling that a baby will give her someone to love and to love her in return and provide the sense of family that was lost to her. When she meets Jackson on the seaplane to the island, her hormones go into overdrive, leaving her hoping that maybe he’s the one, so when he starts pursuing her, she’s incredibly pleased. However, the more time they spend together, the more she finds herself genuinely falling for him and wishing that what they have could become more than just a fantasy, but when she discovers his real reason for being there, it could derail everything. Alex is the perfect combination of sweet and sexy. She’s a little on the shy side, hiding in baggy clothes and not thinking of herself as particularly attractive, but the way Jackson looks at her makes her feel beautiful. He also sparks her confidence so that she sometimes takes the lead. I like that as the week went on, she felt a prick of conscience about secretly getting pregnant and decided to tell him if she did. Overall, Alex was a very relatable heroine for me.
Jackson is a self-made man who lost his father as a child and was betrayed by the women in his life. Growing up, his mother mostly left him alone while entertaining a string of boyfriends and now only has contact with him when she wants something, usually money. His fiancée feigned love for him, while really only wanting him for his money, too, so he has little reason to trust women. That’s why when he discovers Alex has stolen his tech – or so he thinks – he’s had enough and wants revenge. He tells the owner of Seductive Fantasy that what he wants is a woman who’ll love him for himself and not for what he can give her, which is the truth, while keeping his real reason for being on the island a secret. However, once he meets Alex, he can’t quite believe that this kind, sweet woman could be so devious. He keeps telling himself that she could be deceiving him, but the longer he plays his game, the more real his feelings for her become until he isn’t sure if he can really go through with it after all. If anything the seducer has become the seduced, leaving him longing for something real outside of the island. Jackson is a good guy who’s been done wrong one too many times, but deep down he has a kind heart and a conscience that leads him in the right direction. He’s also observant and intuitive, anticipating Alex’s needs and desires, while putting the pieces together that help him to finally trust in her innocence.
Overall, Seductive Fantasy was a great read that was filled with romance and steamy good times that was pure sensual indulgence. I used to be a big fan of the Fantasy Island television show, so I loved the “Fantasy Island” theme. What woman wouldn’t want to have all her deepest desires come true with a hot, sexy guy on a beautiful tropical island? I understood and related to both characters quite well. Alex was the consummate girl next-door who just needed a little push to let her sensuous side out to play, while Jackson was a dream lover. This book came very close to receiving five stars from me. There was a bit of awkward phrasing on occasion, but not enough to throw me out of the story. This couple had a strong emotional connection with plenty of sexual chemistry right from the start and it didn’t let up for the entire book. So ultimately the main reason I knocked off the half-star was because I was a bit surprised that when Jackson learned the full truth of Alex’s fantasy – namely her wanting a baby – that he didn’t feel used or in any way betrayed. Granted it happened at the end of the book and the story was so short that it didn’t really allow much room to explore something like that, so it ended up being a fairly minor quibble that didn’t detract too much from my enjoyment. Otherwise, it was a fun read that I can wholeheartedly recommend for anyone looking to indulge in a little escapist romantic fantasy.

Se conocen en una semana, se aman locamente, él resulta que la ha usado para vengarse, ella para embarazarse... pero oye, al cabo de 15 días son MEGA felices y van a casarse.
Em... NO.
