High Stakes Seduction #2
Indebted: High Stakes Seduction - Book 2 - Angela
In Book 2, Angela's job as an associate in Antonio Mancini's high fashion business creates no end of tension for her. He remains remote and in control, and far more attractive than she bargained for. The frequent after-hours assignments in such close proximity to him makes it hard to keep her mind on business.
When unexpected circumstances cause her to accept his somewhat unusual proposition, she finds herself in even closer proximity as his companion and cabin-mate on a two-week Caribbean cruise—an adventure she is both anticipating and dreading.
Initially unsure of how the cruise may change their relationship, she finds herself attracted even more as she begins to get glimpses into what drives this enigmatic man. When she discovers her onboard rivals include politicians, gamblers and exotic dancers, she must decide just how much of his game she is willing to play.
This steamy novella is book 2 in the ongoing serial that concludes with book 5. It contains adult material suited for 18+ year olds.

About the author
Ami LeCoeur
27 books84 followers Life has many twists and turns, and things don't always turn out the way we hope. In my reading and my writing, I like strong women and compelling stories with mystery and suspense.
Like most romance writers, I am a romantic at heart. But I believe romance takes many forms, so in my heart it’s the classic Romanticism of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, which was as much about life and emotional growth as it was about romance.
I have many creative interests that include painting, quilting, and glass art, as well as being a writer.
When I’m not traveling to Costa Rica or Mexico, I live on California’s Redwood Coast with my husband and two kitties. We have a wonderful ocean view, and when the fog comes in—as it always does—I’m usually either curled up with a good book, or busy writing, painting, or hovering around a warm kiln making fused glass jewelry.

This is the 2nd in book the series and should be read in order.
After finding out there is a possible way to help her sister Maria walk, Angela goes to Antonio and makes a deal with him so she can afford to pay for the surgery. Antonio gives Angela his terms and doesn’t have to wait long for her to make the decision to take him up on this offer. The problem with Angela agreeing to Antonio’s terms is the fact that she is attracted to him and taking this offer can either help her or hurt her.
I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.
The continuation of Angela and Antonio’s story didn’t disappoint me. Angela is finally putting herself first for a change with the encouragement of her sister. Angela has finally admitted to herself that she wants to be with Antonio. She may seem to be confident on the outside, but with the way Antonio is acting lately and the feelings she has for him has it left her confused and unable to show that confidence. Spending time away from Antonio on the business trip proves to be a good thing for Angela to get some of that confidence back while getting to know new acquaintances.
Antonio’s alpha male side comes out a lot more in this book, as he becomes more demanding of Angela. He wants her, there has been times when he can’t resist her but there is something that is holding him back. He busies himself during the trip with business to avoid Angela and his feels that he can't even admitted to himself. When Angela tells him that she wants to take things further, he forgets himself and lets his wants and needs flow through until he gets the reminder of who he is. There is something more going with him that he hasn’t let Angela know about and that is one mystery I’ll be looking forward see being solved.
I love that Ami has now added Maria’s point of view in some parts of this book, as she is a very important part of Angela’s life. Maria’s has her own story to tell and by just getting a glimpse of it throughout this story, has me wondering where the next twist in the story will lead. I can’t wait for the next book to come out so I can find out what Angela planned for Antonio and how he reacts to it. I highly recommend this series to my fellow readers.

Ami is becoming one of my new favorite authors! Every time I get one of her books, I get ecstatic and read the whole book within hours. There's something about her writing that is so natural and feels as if the situations happening in the book can occur in everyday life. You feel a connection to her characters and feel as if you're in the book with them.
This book picks off where the last book does. Angela is preparing for her cruise with the mysterious Antonio and she's freaking out about what a vacation with Antonio can mean. She made a deal with him to help her sister, but is what he wants, what she ordinarily thought he wanted? He's not acting any different towards her during the cruise and he always seems to leave her on her own in favor of others company.
As she tries to get to the bottom of the mystery that is Antonio, Angela finds herself falling harder for her boss and she doesn't know what to do. Things with Antonio are weird. One minute he seems to want her and the next, he's avoiding her all day with his stoic face and his meetings with his associates.
What is Antonio hiding, and does he really want Angela, or is she a pawn in all of this?
Can I just say, this book has so much hot tension and barely anything happens between the two! I don't know how the author creates such extreme chemistry between Angela and Antonio, but let me tell you, it's sizzling hot! I actually liked this book better than the first, which makes me excited to read the next book! I have a feeling the next book is going to answer a lot of my questions and hopefully things will change for Antonio and Angela.
One thing I really enjoyed in this book that the last book didn't have was the POV from her sister, Maria. She's actually a really cool character and I love getting into her head and seeing everything through her eyes.
I recommend this book to everyone!
My favorite quotes:
"Antonio Mancini-you are not going to walk away from me again!"
"I didn't know what it was going to take, but I had made up my mind. I knew I was up for the challenge."
"Better see what my lord and master wants."
"Oh dang, Maria, you just did it again. Open mouth, insert foot!"

This is the second book in this series by Ami LeCoeur. It picks up where we left Angela and Antonio and their hot sexual tension. Angela agrees to go on a business trip with Antonio to various tropical locations. This book was a great read. It kept me wanting more to happen between Antonio and Angela has the sexual tension grows and grows. I did not like how Antonio treated Angela in this book and I hope he redeems himself. She deserves it. The author allows you a short glimpse into Antonio's past before he puts his walls up again. He is a very guarded man who seems to be hiding some dark secrets. I can't wait to find out what he is hiding. You get a glimpse of the desire he has for Angela but it was quick and fleeting. I can't wait to see how their relationship develops in the next book. Also, I enjoyed getting to know Maria better and I hope that her relationship with Thompson grows. I would like to see them as a couple. Overall, this was a hot read and I would recommend reading it! Don't miss out on a chance to meet Antonio! He is hot and mysterious!
October 5, 2014
Omg! This book has left me desperate for book 3!!! As usual Ami LeCoeur keeps you engaged and wanting more! The mysterious Antonio has me hooked! This book is a definite read!!!
October 5, 2014
In book 2 we find Angela at sea on her cruise with the mysterious, sexy business man and her associate/boss Antonio Mancini sharing a small suite. Will there be displays of intimacy? Could be!
Who are all the strange business men, politicians and burlesque dancers Antonio introduces Angela to? The story just becomes even more mysterious.
I enjoyed that the two sisters still were entwined in this book by having their own POV; Angela’s encounters at sea and shore, when not needed taking her camera out for shots to share with Maria and Maria experiencing new friendships at home and thinking about taking up her painting again!
So cant wait for the next in the series as you really get hooked.
An ARC for honest review-thank you Ami

I had the opportunity to read the ARC of book 2 of High Stakes Seduction by Ami LeCoeur. I want to say that I have loved reading this series. This particular book had my emotions running so high that one half of me really felt sorry for Angelia from the way that her life has been so hard and for sacrificing herself in every way for her sibling and the other half of my emotions being angry with Antonio for the way he treats her. He does not deserve her assistance. I have never felt that way before while reading any book. This series is the best series I have ever read. Any book that can make me feel as I did reading this book is awesome. Hats off to Ami LeCoeur for a wonderful series. LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT,
October 5, 2014

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing.... Can't wait to finish reading all of these books. It is slam packed full of suspense, mystery and romance. Angela continues to work for Antonio and learning so much about the fashion industry. She really has made a great impression on Priscilla her superior and Antonio as well. Angela has been really concerned for Maria's health and she struggles wanting to continue with Antonio and his company.She heads out with him on a business trip on a cruise. Can Angela find it in her heart to make room for Antonio? Can Antonio tell Angela how he really feels or is he just playing her for a fool?
I was given a copy of this book for an honest review.

Lost and confused on the high seas. Antonio takes care of his "business" and leaves Angela to entertain herself. Technically not a couple, he doesn't have to tend to her every need. However, nothing gets explained to her and she has no idea why she is on this cruise. Antonio is frustrating, sexy, and secretive beyond anything. Angela needs to get a grip and find her voice. Great series, each leaving us with a cliffhanger just enough to keep us interested. Thanks to Ami for the copy to review.
October 5, 2014
ARC REVIEW: first off i wouldve loved to give the book 5 stars but the fact that Antonio left me fustrated throught the whole book i have to give it 4 instead... Mr Antonio Manchini is as closed off even more with Angela in this book..and im dying to know his secrets..Angela needs to speak up and put her foot down to get to the bottom of who Antonio really is...but overall this book is amazing..cant wait til the next one to see if angela could break antonio out of his shell and show the more valuable side to him.
October 6, 2014
I was excited to get book 2, Ami did not disappoint. I sat and could not stop till I was done. I loved getting to know Maria more and her passion with painting, and of course thinking Thompson would appear and he did!! We will see what happens there! And you have Antonio, as hot as ever, but he is so mysterious, I want to know him better! And as soon as Angelia thinks she is gonna get what she is aching for, he's gone!!! It was a fantastic read. And I think everyone should get lost in this series, they won't be disappointed!!!!
October 5, 2014
Ami LeCoeur's high stake seduction (book 2) leaves you wanting more and more. It has lust, sinful desires, mystery, and suspense. With the chemistry between antonio and angela heating up at every turn. With the little bits and pieces coming out behind the real reasons that brought antonio and angela together in the first place is facinating. She left you wanting much more and you will be sitting on pins and needles waiting for the continuation of high stakes seduction.
October 5, 2014
Angela is learning how to maneuver around Antonio's mood swings. Can she control her emotions? Does she want to? Will her sister be safe while she's away? So many juicy tidbits are shared on Angela's journey but does any of it have meaning! "Something clicked into place, and in that moment, nothing else mattered." I can't wait for volume 3 and look forward to Angela and Antonio's next meeting! Way to go Ami LeCoeur!
October 5, 2014
Ami LeCoeur has skilfully combined a hot, sexy story with sweet romance and mystery. The tension in the series is building around Angela and the secretive Antonio, while Maria and Thompson seem to be teetering on the edge of a growing relationship.
Can't wait to see where this story takes the reader as the two sisters move towards their new futures after an earlier family tragedy.
Well done, Ami!

Angela goes on the cruise but now what? Angela has so many internal battles with her feelings and her Antonio's true intentions for her. Antonio Mancini you are a mystery!!! There is so much hidden behind his demeanor but what is it? I can not wait to read the next installment to get more answers.

ARC review: I'm dying here.. Another cliff hanger but I am in love with these characters. the author has you believing Tony and Ange will finally hook up in this book but always leaves you wanting more. this series has become one of my favorites and am dying for book three!!

Ehhhh
So this book is ok I don't understand why this couldn't be fit in one whole book but I guess it's whatever. Not really interested in continuing because the story is not catching me. I found myself skimming a lot of it..

In the second installment of High Stakes Seduction we find Angela has accepted Antonio’s “offer” and she goes with him on a cruise. We all thought it was pretty clear about what the arrangement was going to entail but alas it is not at all clear. What she thought was going to be happening is not and she knows less about her boss than she did before. The tension between these two is at an all time high and it drips off the pages.
Antonio is as brooding as ever, but he is becoming more and more difficult to understand. This cruise, thus far, has been about “business” but we are not really sure what that is. He has been meeting with politicians, gambling, staying out late and has mood swings worse than a woman.
Angela is just trying to understand what she is supposed to be doing and what her role is. She just wants to do what is necessary for her and her sister, but at the same time trying to live a little. So far the “vacation” has seemed to open her eyes to the wonders of the world and that there is no time like the present to really live. She is just finding her inner vixen but is having a hard time harnessing it because of the very mixed signals that are coming from Mr. Mancini.
What was really nice about this book were the few snippets of Maria. It was nice to see her attempts to move past her injuries and the friendships that are blossoming between her and others.
I definitely enjoyed this part as much as part one, but I am more confused than before. There are many questions left unanswered and the readers were provided little answers to what is going on. There were a lot of details about the islands and the reader could definitely put themselves there and see what Angela was seeing on her excursions but as far as what is really going with Antonio and his business, we got next to nothing. I am officially dying for book three now and at least some understanding

Ami LeCoeur definitely knows how to take you on a journey as a reader that is for sure! This is one hot and steamy piece of artwork! Yes I said piece of artwork because that is exactly what it is!
I am so glad that I have taken the time to read this series I cannot imagine what my life would have been like had I missed the opportunity to read this amazing story! Book two picks up exactly where the first leaves off Angela has now made her deal with the devil per say and is now going on a cruise with Antonio and quite honestly she doesn't know where she stands. Is this going to be a business relationship? Is it going to be a romantic relationship? Does he have feelings for her? Is he even attracted to her? We can clearly see that she is attracted to him based off her reactions to him thorough the book she cannot even be around him without being aroused or even jealous for that matter the question is what does he want with her? Or does he even feel the same way? You will get small glimpses into Antonio's personality and background in this book it is quite clear that both he and Angela have this magnetic attraction to each other and this pull that gives them this underlying sexual attraction that neither one of them can deny the question really is why on earth is he fighting is so much.
This book is full of so much action and drama it will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time you get to find out more about Maria in it as well the story line is truly impeccable. If you have not downloaded this book or added it to your TBR list as of yet do not wait any longer add it today! It is a must read! It was truly amazing! I cannot wait to see what Ami LeCoeur has in store for us next!

Angela goes on a cruise with Antonio but she is still unsure on what exactly it is he wants from her. Once on the ship, he goes from one business meeting to another, barely spending any time with her. When they do spend time together, she keeps getting mixed signals from him. She meets some of Antonio’s business associates that make her wonder what kind of business and connections Antonio has, what he is really doing on this working vacation. Will she ever get the courage to make a move on Antonio?
Maria, Angela’s sister, is finally starting to realize she can’t live her life through other people. That she has to try to live life as best as she can and not let her disability dictate her entire life. Her and Antonio’s chauffer Thompson start spending more time together while the other two are on the cruise. Can Maria get the courage to paint again?
I loved reading about the continuation of these two people. Some of the time, I wanted to smack Angela for not realizing he is playing with her, maybe not on purpose. Other times I wanted to cheer her on when she decided to not let Antonio’s absence ruin her time on the cruise or the islands they were stopping at.
I am still very confused on what Antonio’s true motives are where it concerns Angela, especially after one particular conversation she overheard. However, I have faith in the author that she will in her own time show us what he is really, up to, what he really wants from Angela. I can’t wait until the next book comes out and sees where the author takes these characters next. I definitely recommend this book.

Antonio is as brooding as ever, but he is becoming more and more difficult to understand. This cruise, thus far, has been about “business” but we are not really sure what that is. He has been meeting with politicians, gambling, staying out late and has mood swings worse than a woman.
Angela is just trying to understand what she is supposed to be doing and what her role is. She just wants to do what is necessary for her and her sister, but at the same time trying to live a little. So far the “vacation” has seemed to open her eyes to the wonders of the world and that there is no time like the present to really live. She is just finding her inner vixen but is having a hard time harnessing it because of the very mixed signals that are coming from Mr. Mancini.

And that my friends is how you keep your readers hungry for more! Wow! Love love this book!!!! I couldn't put it down! Ahhh Antonio Antonio! In this book we can see another side of him, more carefree, fun and we can tell some of his struggles to stay away from Angela, really hope Ami, give us a peek on his point of view in one of the next books. I will really love to know what is going on in that beautiful head of his. Angela, Angela what can I say, this woman is a mess, I king of getting annoy by her but don't know yet if it's because I love Antonio so much or it is just her. In this book she doesn't have kind to be strong or that's what she thing, I would like to see more strong will from her. I'm really happy that Maria has a POV in this book, hope its keep coming, love how she is getting more and more confident on herself and try to go back on living her life and do the things she enjoy and love. Ahhh! The ending, such a painful ending, seriously, it physically hurt! So many questions, so much excitement, I couldn't believe the book was over...seriously I was looking at my kindle in disbelief for a long while... thank goodness I won't have to wait too long for more Antonio. So if you haven't notice yet, I really really recommend this series you will love it! Happy reading!

**I was given a complimentary ARC by the author in exchange for an honest review**
This book picks up right where the first left off. And so did my anticipation and excitement to see where Ami LeCoeur was going to take Angela and Antonio and there story. My heart was captured every time Angela was unsure of her future with Antonio and where it was headed or what he truly wanted from her. I feel at times I craved their intimacy just as much as Angela did. I haven't figured out Antonio but just like Angela I am looking forward to more. There was also a unexpected treat in the book... I will just leave it as I feel like Im going to be reading dual love stories. And who can beat 2 for the price of 1? Amazing job once again Ami LeCoeur!

Brief fleeting moments of affection from Antonio, AKA Tony AKA the Man, give Angela mixed emotions to come to grips with .. Can she be imagining the chemistry or is it real? What is Antonio doing with himself when he's away from Angela so much during to cruise? Is it me or does he keep pulling away from her just when he's getting closer? Is he pulling away for her sake or for his? What mysterious dealings is he into and what girl do they want to make a part of the deal? Could it be Angela? I think Antonio cares about Angela but on what level, for what reason and to what extent? Will either of them reveal to the other their true feelings or will they continue this business arrangement? I can't wait to get these questions and more answered by Ami LeCoeur.

This book is also good , but I wanted more....I felt that this one went a little slower and did not give you a ton of information so you still do not have much more background to put things together . I can't wait for the next as there are MANY unanswered questions...I do LOVE the developing story of Thompson and Maria and hope that continues. I feel for Angela and SO want things to finally go her way . I can see her working side by side with Antonio and hope that all good will come. I am anxiously waiting for Book3 . On pins and needles....High Stakes Seduction
