Shelby Matthews, one of the elite team Athena Group’s leaders decides it’s time to go on a long overdue vacation. She was well away from the hustle and bustle of tourists on an exclusive beach. Peace and quiet was what she was looking for. Just as she begins to soak up the sun and maybe feel the stress of life ebbing from her bones, a blast from the past shows up next door. How was she going to relax when the hot and sexy neighbor and the one person who had haunted her for years was back tormenting her? He was going to taunt and tease her.
Special Agent Maxwell Taylor can’t get the demons out of his head having discovered one of his agents murdered. He didn’t want to deal with civilization or feelings. On the edge of a complete meltdown his CO sends him to a tropical paradise where he needed to power down and reset. But demons aren’t the only thing he has to get out of his head, when his paradise is invaded by the one woman he could never forget. The moment that she tripped over her chair he knew the tides had turned.
Everywhere they turned they were running into one another. She threw him off kilter every time he saw her. He is in for the surprise of his life when his CO tells him she is the operative they are looking for to help infiltrate the organization that is responsible for his agent’s death.
The only reason I did not 5 star this read is because it was a touch confusing at first, was unsure of what exactly was going on, but it came together nicely as I continued reading and the story had a hold on me until the very end. There was a very hot, erotic and exciting chemistry between the two main characters, so much so you felt it pop out of the pages! Seduction Throwdown is an emotional, touching and endearing read that any romance reader will enjoy :)

Readers will enjoy the mystery, antics and family feel this story contains. I look forward to where Christie will go next in the series.
