Southern Seduction

by Alexandria Scott

In Alexandria Scott's spellbinding novel, a surprise bequest offers three women a fresh start in America, new hope, and the romantic adventure of a lifetime.

Brooke Hammond crossed the Atlantic determined to make a success of the Louisiana plantation she inherited. Only one obstacle stands in her way--a devilishly charming, infernally arrogant obstacle named Travis Montgomery, co-owner of her estate. If Travis marries and produces an heir within the year, Moss Grove will be his--unless he marries Brooke. Seducing Travis and then sending him on his way should be simple, but the searing desire Brooke feels in his presence presents an unexpected complication.

Travis took his father's dilapidated estate and turned it into a profitable enterprise, and no woman is going to claim it from him. So begins a contest of wits and will, where temptation and torrid kisses are the weapons of choice, and surrender the ultimate prize. But for two worthy opponents, winning the battle may mean losing everything that matters.

Good read. Both characters are illegitimate children of aristocrats, abandoned but managed to survive. It is a bit strange that I also found this book under another author, Brenda Jernigan. Are they one and the same?

so far... I am having trouble staying focused. Not a well written story line.

I was going to be kind and give this book 2 stars, but the ridiculously cliche plot twist at the end was the last straw for me.

It was a huge effort to actually finish this book. From the first page, it was poorly written. There was too much narration & not enough dialog. Too many overused phrases (He/she had never felt like this before, etc.).

The "love" between the hero and heroine was laughable. He was supposedly in love with her from the moment he first saw her, but she was acting like an entitled brat. I couldn't stand her. I couldn't care less about their relationship & just wanted to finish the awful book.

Author Alexandria Scott has created an exceptional tale set during a time in history when such situations could become most volatile. I found this story to be very extraordinary; the heroines of most historical romances are of young, naive, ladies or widows. This author has dared to go against the grain and has earned my high regards. BRAVA! I can hardly wait for the nieces' stories to be told. *****

Read some bad reviews about this book so went in reading this thinking it was not going to be that good but I'm happy to say I really enjoyed reading this.

I loved the love/hate relationship Brooke and Travis shared. It made their connection so much the better.

So I found this book at a book exchange on Laos. It was the only one in english but it exactly what I would want in a romance novel. Whirlwind romance, a duel, attempted murder and amnesia! It was so wonderfully horrible. I just loved it.
