Leah's Seduction #1
Leah's Seduction: 1
Gianni Rinaldi is one of the most eligible bachelors in the fashion scene in New York. By accident, a journal filled with a woman’s most intimate fantasies falls into his hands. He is driven to find the author of the sensual writings when he meets Leah, and suspects it might be her. The quest to discover if she is that woman unexpectedly turns into a sexual relationship that quickly spins out of control. Will the woman he wants submit to his terms?
Leah Ivers has landed a job as a marketing coordinator in one of the fashion showrooms of New York. Her passion bubbles to the surface when she meets Gianni at an industry event. Knowing she is not his type, Leah is surprised by his interest in her. Intimate encounters make it clear that he can satisfy her as no man has before. How much is she willing to give up in order to have him?
Excerpt:
“There was a connection between them. When he gazed at her, Leah transformed into a stunning beauty before his eyes. It was as though his look was the sunshine she required to thrive. Gianni had to get a grip. He couldn’t let all of this go to his head.
He needed to keep things in perspective, which was difficult. Because the way she had looked at him had affected him. Too much. And not in a way he’d anticipated, allowing just that little bit of control to slip through his fingers.
It was better to rein things in early. Before the situation slipped from his grasp. He wanted Leah again. And what he hoped to do with her hadn’t changed. As long as she didn’t start to expect more, it could work. But even as he thought it, Gianni was riddled with doubt.
No woman had affected him this way before. He should just walk away. He didn’t need this, and he had plenty of women to call on. Any urge he had, or could dream up, could be satisfied. So why deal with such complexities?”

Leah has a lot on her plate. The things going with her family and a boss who takes her for granted. Though she finds solace in her journal. She holds nothing back. All of her fears, desires, sort comings its all there in that book. She misplaced her journal but she has no idea that the man she met or bumped into is the man who has been reading her inner most desires put on paper. I have to say I'm not much of a Gianni fan in this one. Yes he's hot and rich and swoon worthy but I don't care much for how he treats Leah. Typical rich guy who can have any girl he wants. Some guys can pull that off I'm not seeing that though with Gianni. I'm hoping as their story continues he redeems himself. Otherwise I suggest Leah leave before her heart and body becomes even more entangled up in Gianni.

Gianni is surrounded by beautiful women. Owning a popular business in the world of fashion gives him that luxury. Meeting Leah at one of the symposiums he wonders if she is the owner of the journal he had found....

NYC. Leah Ivers (fashion marketing) had been to Portland to visit her parents & 2 sisters.
Kyra Walsh (Leah’s BFF, fashion model) had put in a good word for her at Barrington’s showroom where she now worked in marketing.
Leah met Gianni Rinaldi (owner, GR Showroom, NYC) at the Beauty & Retail Symposium.
The show was over & Dawson Bennett (GRE head of security) ask Leah to come with him.
Outside he opened the black limo door for her.
It was Gianni.
He invited her to a party at the Empire Hotel.
Where is their relationship headed now?

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written erotic romantic book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great erotic romance movie, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

** spoiler alert ** I do not see how this booked received so many positive and glowing reviews. I am only reading the rest because I hate not knowing the ending of a story line. Unfortunately it is drug out to about 10 books. The book is very rushed, The main Characters Leah and Gianni are brought together quickly without having a clear image of who they even are as individuals they a thrusted into a I don't even know what it is. There is one good part in this and that is how the Characters are linked.
Leah loses her Journal which she writes down all her very intimate thoughts. Gianni of course is the finder of this journal. That is what drew me into wanting to keep reading. Gianni hasn't returned the Journal which happens to have Leah's name written inside instead he sets out to fulfill these thoughts and try to conclude if the Leah is is involved with is the same Leah who has written this Journal.

Leah has a journal that she keeps her most secret fantasies. When it becomes missing while she was frantic about her sick mother, she has to put it in the back of her mind and move on. Gianni found a journal at a coffee shop and when he opened it and skimmed it, he wanted this woman named Leah. So at a showroom conference when a woman named Leah drops an envelope, Gianni wonders could this be the same woman? Great read.

WOW - another great book by Emily Jane Trent -- make that, another beginning to an awesome series by Emily Jane Trent!!!
Leah's Seduction is one hot story!! Leah is a very private person but what she puts into her journal describes all that she really wants. But then she looses her journal and has no idea where she might have left it. Leah is worried - because this journal contains her most private thoughts and is not meant for anyone else to read. Leah is headed to a fashion seminar and drops her folder and bumps into Gianni Rinaldi - a very hot sexy man. I don't write spoilers -- so from here I will say this: YOU MUST READ THIS SERIES!!!

Having lost her personal journal, our main character Leah is worried someone might read it. Do you keep a journal? I would die if someone found my journal and read my most intimate thoughts and fantasies!
Gianni finds her journal by sheer accident. Serendipity is at work here! Curiosity gets the best of him and he starts reading it... HOT! Being a Dom, he is surprised that the woman who has written this book matches his needs perfectly. Now, if he could only find this woman, seduce her, and make her his.
Again serendipity takes a hand as chance meeting at a fashion gathering brings our two characters together. The rest is history! They are both immediately attracted to each other. Although they are definitely two opposites, this is the compelling reason for the attraction. He is so self assured and in control; she is shy and insecure.
Gianni and Leah are both immersed in a sexual relation like they have never experienced before. No commitments is the word of the day, though. Can you really become so intimate with someone without losing your heart in the process? It takes a lot of trust for a power exchange sexual relationship to succeed. Our two characters are about to find out.
This new series by Emily Jane Trent is the best yet. I adore her writing. She takes me by the hand and guides me through all the intricacies of her complex novels and I follow in pure delight.

!!!!HOT DAMN!!!!
Leah’s Seduction is a must definite read!!!!!
Leah’s Seduction is a journey through Leah Ivers journal who works in marketing at Barringtons where she has written her most intimate thoughts about herself. But she lost it and don’t know where. Gianni Rinaldi who owns GR Showroom, a fashion company finds the journal. Part of him doesn’t want to read it but curiosity has got the better of him. Now he is on a mission to find out if the journal belongs to Leah or someone else.
Their paths across twice, once at a symposium and at a fashion show where Leah’s friend modeling at. As we read along with Gianni we see what kind of woman Leah is and wants to be. And see if Gianni is the man who can take her body and soul, and also her heart.
Leah’s Seduction had me from the beginning and held me until the end where I can’t wait for part 2. You can feel the intense chemistry these have as it leaps right of the pages. Their foreplay and sex scene was so HOT!!! that I had to get a cold drink of water. Emily Jane has written about two characters where you can’t help to love them and/or be them. Part 2 here I come.
Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What does a girl do when her most private thoughts turn up missing? Leah realizes that her journal is no longer in pursue but where did she lose it? Would someone read her secret fantasies? As scary as this is to Leah she pushes forward since there is no hope to finding her journal.
Leah works in the fashion industry in New York city in marketing, she prefers to be behind-the-scenes and struggles with her personal self-esteem. At one of the events she is attending she runs into Gianni Rinaldi and he sparks all of her hidden desires but she knows she won't ever see him again. Of course, we learn that Gianni has found an amazing journal that has him very intrigued and then he bumps into Leah Ivers, can this be the Leah that wrote the journal. Gianni begins to find ways to encounter Leah as we get to experience Leah opening up in ways she never has with Gianni as the seduction begins.
Love that Emily Jane Trent gives us the dual POV which gives us a stronger story as we learn about Leah's section we also experience Gianni's journey to find his true self. A wonderful beginning to a new series and set of characters.

After loosing such an important part of every girls life, Leah knew in her heart she would never find her journal again. After returning home from a trip to her parents Leah looked high and low for it but had no luck in finding it. She hoped it had not fallen into the wrong hands. These where her personal feelings written on paper now for the world to read.....
Trying to put it behind her, Leah had to get her head in the game as she had a symposium to attended for her job as marketing coordinator for fashion showroom. But she never thought she would run into Gianni Rinaldi the owner of GR Showroom one of the biggest fashion showrooms in New York. But little does she know.....Gianni is the one that found her journal....will he tell her after they introduce themselves to each other that he recognize's her name from the journal....Leah Ivers.
From one encounter can this lead to something ? Does Gianni think she is the Leah that wrote the journal he reads night after night ?
This is the beginning to another awesome, body tingling, heart wrenching series !! LOVED IT !!

Wow! Starting from the first page I was completely sucked into Leah and Gianni ' s story. This book was very well written starting with a brief description looking into each of the characters,and running with all the possibilities from Leah ' s precious journal. Leah ' s journal is the back bone for this love story and Emily Jane has done a wonderful job in setting it up/ writing it this way. Many women are much like Leah when it comes to being reserved about their fantasies. Emily has suckered each and everyone of us in by writing what she knew we would want to read. In this book I really love Gianni ' s approach to pleasing. It's not all about him physically. He makes every encounter about Leah. Her satisfaction is his satisfaction. This is not a story of selfishness. It's a story of a powerful love. I highly recommend this book to everyone!!! I love forwards to following Leah and Gianni ' story.

Leah had the typical issues like some of us do which made her normal. She has a boss who is a jerk by she refuse to allow him to ruin her. Her desires are strong but she gave in to easy to him. I like her and how she acts. She is strong minded on the outside but torn in the inside. I remember Gianni from a book before (no spoiler) and I knew he was stern and into the life. He want to locate the woman he reads about but wasn't sure if his choice is correct. He seemed to perfect from what I remember from the other book. He has a dark side and boy it really shows in this book a little. Makes you want to know more about him and fast.
My only issue is, there are so many books behind this one which makes name wonder if I want to continue. It was only 140+ pages which is why I know many books follows. I like the couple and I know they will be enjoyable but 8 or 10 book that follows is why I didn't give five (5) stars.

I really enjoyed getting to read how Leah and Gianni first met and came together. I loved how free she felt when she was with him and I hated how badly she felt when he rejected her. I often thought to myself what was her childhood like, or her teenage years that led her to feel so unattractive or for her to not seek out the kind of pleasure she wanted, did someone tell her that wasn't normal? I knew the minute she said yes to going to dinner with Cody that Gianni would be jealous no matter what he said. The sex between them was smokin hot but she started to wonder how he knew some of her hidden thoughts, I am afraid this whole deal with her journal is going to blow up and devastate her. I can't wait to read the rest of this series.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Leah is distraught that her personal journal is missing. She has written her deepest, darkest fantasies in this journal. These are things she cannot share with anyone else. Not knowing how to handle these feelings she pushes them down not knowing if she will ever find someone to share them with. Leah is dealing with things in her personal life and then meets Gianni and there is an immediate spark between them. He is in control and can read her inner most desires. They are so hot together! Page melting hot!! I could not put this down and I cannot wait to continue reading their story to see how she deals with Gianni and the new experiences he is sure to bring her.

What can I say but ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Emily has done it again! I was hooked after the first chapter and knew I would read each and every one these segments! This series has the romance, the intrigue and the lust that is so prevalent in her writing. I LOVE Gianni and Leah. They are as exciting as Tanner and Natalie, but the secrets behind Gianni are more intriguing than Tanner's were. Looking forward to reading the rest of this series as they become available.
September 19, 2014
I am really loving this series. I loved Gianni in Emily's Touched by You series and was excited to see him in this series.. Once I started to read I could not put it down. There is something very sexy about Gianni and when him and Leah together it was just amazing to read.. Another amazing series by Emily and can't wait to read book 2
October 2, 2014
How do you loose all your reveal secrets. Leah can't remember where she left her book/diary. She is afraid someone will read all her sexual fantasys. Leah meets sexy Gianni a famous fashion designer. Gianni happens to find a book of a woman's sexual fantasy. What a cute fast read. I enjoyed it and can't wait to read book 2.

Stefano and Kyra took me with them on a ride of suspense and falling in love. I loved Emily Jane Trent and Stay with me so much that I had to go through the entire book in a matter of a day or so. This story took you to places and was full of surprises. Love the characters. Can't wait to see what this author has to offer us in the future.

Not bad and I would have rated it 3 stars but it's a serialized work...short and incomplete and those just make me mad because it's unnecessary to break up these books like this, not when they are this short.
November 30, 2014
Gianni and Leah`s romance is unique and intriguing! Yummy & delicious.
Only Giovanni can bring out what's inside of Leah... Emily beautifully wrote another amazing series !! kudos Emily

A short story but a good start from a new series. Be careful that you don't loose your diary because you'll never know who's going to read it and make your fantasies real.
