Once arriving home Ciera find her ex's in the bushes raging mad & drunk and tries make her admit she is seeing someone but tries to force herself on her. Best friend Harley to the rescue, she was able to make Dylan Ciara ex's face what he has doing.

Once she told Nikolja he raced to NYC and showed up at her door to be with her and confess his love for her, but again after spending a day the universe is trying to keep them away from each other. Ciara had an potential client willing to pay 3 times the normal fee, so Ciara went to work. Nikolja called before she returned home to tell her he was leaving he had an emergency back in Copenhagen with his brother and he must return in order to help save his father's vodka company. Nikolja promise to return the night of gala celebrating the success of her success.

Ciara was putting finishing touches right before press conference of this new client and run into the reason she had her rules against men in the first place.

Ciara's world has crashed and she still trying to come to terms with the idea of having found out the man she knew as her father is not and the idea of her parents perfect marriage was not so perfect at all. But the most shocking news of all is admitting to herself she is in love with Nikolaj and finally giving a chance to love again.

Nikolaj has found himself flying around the world for Ciara and knowing he's in love with her, he will stop at nothing to make her happy.

Like always happiness never last forever and someone from Ciara's past will come back to haunt her. Will this make her feelings for Nikolaj stronger or will this obstacle make the relationship fall apart?

This installment was the best by far and lets not forget to mention hotter than the last three. Nikolaj will leave you panting.

I recommend for you to read this series believe me when I tell you, you will not be disappointed.

ARC given in exchange for an honest review

The story just keeps getting better. I really enjoyed this book and didn't want to put it down. The author knows how to draw you into the book and keep you hooked. The chemistry between the two is hotter than before and the love that they show for each other makes your heart melt.

Ciara & Nikolaj's story continues and things end up getting stronger for both of them. Nikolaj just keeps proving to Ciara on how much he cares and can't get enough of her. Ciara loves how Nikolaj spoils & takes care of her.

The ending I was not expecting and I couldn't believe it. One hell of a cliff hanger but so worth it. I totally didn't see that coming.

Great job to the author on another great book. Look forward to the next one.

This is the 4th book in the series and they must be read in order. Ciara’s ex Dylan has attacked her consumed by anger and drunk. He believes she has left him from another man. Her friend Harley comes at just the right time and manages to calm him down and leave. Nikolaj is worried and angry when he finds out and he flies right back to be by her side and protect her. Maybe finally they will get to spend more than a few days together. But things are cut short when Nikolaj’s brother decides to stir up trouble in Copenhagen. They are forced to spend time apart once again. Nikolaj does fly back for Ciara and bring her to Copenhagen to meet his family and celebrate several things with his family. What does Jakob have up his sleeve? Will Ciara and Nikolaj make it through whatever Jakob is trying to do? This book brought out some different things in both Ciara and Nikolaj. Ciara is finally opening up and letting Nikolaj know how she feels about him. Nikolaj shows a gentler side and how much he wants to spoiler her. One of the ways he shows Ciara how he feels is by buying her things; flowers, chocolates, jewelery, and just spending time with her. Ciara is not used to a man doing all this for her and she isn’t sure how to feel about it at times. Nikolaj and his brother Jakob aren’t close at all. His brother likes to cause trouble. It’s hard to believe they are related at all. I wasn’t surprised that much by the ending of this one but it was sad. I am excited to read the last book in this series and see what happens. This has been a fantastic steamy series to read.
I was given this book in return for an honest review.

Margaret Smith review. Wow. Right from the first we get into this book following on from the situation we left in Broken. Ciara has a nasty situation to deal with as you will remember. Nikolaj hears about it and is worried about her so he flies in to be with her. The connection between them is sexier and hotter than ever and the scenes we read are so damn erotic - you feel you are there.

Plans which surprise Ciara are made and she gets some lovely surprise gifts from Nikolaj - her parents and friends can't believe how involved how much she seems to feel for Nik.

A new - very wealthy client begs Ciara to help him avoid a disaster in a project but there is so little time to get it right. This will mean huge bonuses for her business if she can pull off the job.

Nik gets called home on family business he can't put off and flies out again. Ciara feels a bit worried he is only ever with her for short periods and she wants more.

The job is a huge success and Ciara goes to the first presentation of the new club she has helped with - what happens next is for you to read - no spoilers here - Scarlett's cliffhangers are legendary. Book 5 coming in May. Millions will be waiting for it. Enjoy this book girls - it has everything you long for in erotic, passionate and downright super-sexy storylines. Good reading.xxoo. Maggie

Starting right where part 3 left off in the midst of scary crazy WOW. Thanks to Harley for saving C from that mess. It was unexpected and thankfully DID NOT escalate to where I thought it would go. Once again after N hears what has happened he is hopping a plane and coming to care for C. As busy as these two are they just cannot stand to be apart and they seriously take advantage of every second they can !! They are insatiable and it is seriously HOT !! Once again a new client is tearing C away from N and although this is a rush job C is in her element and this client is actually pretty great. I enjoyed him and his part in the rest of the story !! Once again just when things may calm down C is ready to take N out as her date and N is thrilled to be there with her all heck breaks loose. Family drama is causing N to have to go home and because of her business and events going on C cannot leave with him. Torn apart again you can't help but feel for them. To make matters worse C comes face to face with another part of her past , here we may finally get the story of why she was so closed off. Of course not now , another slight cliffy before we get to book 5 !!

The story heats up even more in this fourth installment. Ciara and Nikolaj continue to take their relationship to the next level and specifically acknowledge it, which is a step in the right direction for the commitment-phobic pair.

Scarlett Avery excels in her ability to create down and dirty conversation. Anytime Nikolaj talks, I’m hooked! He’s a fantastic alpha male with a soft side that’s irresistible. Always running to Ciara’s side to protect her and then lavish her with attention, Nikolaj can’t be any hotter and he surely doesn’t disappoint now.

Although work divides the couple’s time and location towards the end, they both move forward like the workaholics we know and love. Only Ciara’s in for a huge surprise with her most recent job.

This book ends with a cliffhanger that sends us straight into wanting the final part of the series.

OMG! I wanted to cry when I got to the last page, I didn't want it to end! You will love this story as it is filled with a HOT Alpha-Male, a strong female character, steamy sex scenes, and one heck of a cliffhanger. I just can't get enough of Nikolaj and Ciara.

Ciara is finally opening up to having a real relationship with Nikolaj. Nikolaj wants to take care of Ciara. He drops everything to fly to NY after Ciara texts him telling him about a run-in she has with her ex Ryan. Once he arrives, he continues to shower her with his affection, gifts and romantic notes. When trouble with the family business makes Nikolaj have to leave Ciara a lot sooner than expected, she is left disappointed and doubting how they can make a relationship work when they are never together in the same place for more than a few days at a time.

I cannot wait for part 5. Mid-May can't get here soon enough. Scarlett Avery has quickly become one of my favorite authors.

Reviewed on Behalf of Give Me Books

Damn! I have decided that I am officially charging Ms. Avery for my laundry bills. In this fourth installment of the seduction factor series, Nikolaj and Ciara continue to heat up the sheets. “Nikolaj, my body is yours. Touch me, kiss me, lick me, make me come,” I beg. But they also up the ante in their relationship.

Both Nikolaj & Ciara commit to being in a relationship together; something that shocks everyone that knows Ciara. We continue to see the hot, dirty-talking side of Nikolaj, but we also get to see the sweet, endearing side of him this time as well.

Of course, in true Scarlett Avery fashion, she drops a huge bomb on us right at the end of the book and now we have to wait to find out what is going to happen. She is going to kill me with these cliffhangers. Please give me the next installment quickly; I can’t wait to devour it! (4.5 stars)

The heat continues between Nikolaj and Ciara with something always getting in the way. Dylan attempting to hurt her brings out the alpha in Nik and has him flying all night across the country to be by her side to protect her. Of course he falls in love with her a little more after she lets him in just a little bit more and cooks for him and gives him keys to her home allowing further insight into what makes her who who she is. Ciara picks up a new contract that is working on a seriously short timeline and has to leave Nik. Thinking that they are meeting later for drinks, she saddened when he calls to cancel regretfully, telling her he must return to Denmark to fix a family crisis. Her mother and father are still shocked but happy, as is her bff, that she is embracing the girlfriend/boyfriend role and Nik plans to take it public when he introduces her to his family at the gathering coming up.Trouble is brewing when at the end we see Luke's name mentioned........

Not again! (Little bit spoiler but not enough to give all the story away)

Scarlett is becoming my least favourite author because she insist on leaving me on cliff edges....and I hate heights!

The story continues, Ciara and Nikolaj's romance deepens....in more ways than one! But are they destine to spend more than a few days together, their lives pulling them apart, together they are the magnetised so close they can never be pulled together it's just their busy lifestyles insist on pilling them apart!

He flies half way across the world following the ending of book 3 determined to keep her safe, but no once again life pulls them apart after some mega smexy moments that have you sweating!

And then another cliff hanger OMG Nikolaj where are you when she needs you!

And is it book 5 yet? May....really....I can't wait that long!

No matter how she has tried the past will not stay away. Ciara is in for a shocking surprise in this installment.

Nikolaj is ready for commitment. Ciara is not fighting because she has fallen for him. They both cannot live without the other, but their lives are complicated.

Ciara's business is booming and a new client is requiring her undivided attention. Nikolaj's brother is once again threatening the future of his father's company. No one can stand up to his brother Jakob and he is needed in Copenhagen.

And just as things are strained for Ciara and Nikolaj with the problem that they can never be in the same city for more than just a few days... Ciara's past confronts her and leaves her speechless.

OMG! I cannot wait for Scarlett Avery to publish the conclusion to this thrilling, erotic romance!

****5 STARS****



This story just keeps getting better.



Nikolaj is way too sweet and we all want one of him.. Successful, sweet
talking, melt in your panties talker and a total sweetheart.



After Ciara was attacked by her ex-lover, Nikolaj is quick to show how much
he cares, dropping everything for her.



Forced to reveal how she truly feels, Ciara is quickly falling for the hunk
of a man.



"You know I'll do my best to invade your space with daily surprises while
I'm away. We'll be on the phone for hours. I'll be back by your side before
you know it. I won't say goodbye. I much prefer, 'I'll see you soon.'" -
Nikolaj



This book left me reeling.. OMG how can it end there, no way, it's not
fair.. I NEED the next book, like yesterday..



Nothing better than a hot steamy read, that actually has a great story
behind it.

In this installment, things start to heat up even more between Ciara & Nikolaj. These two amazing people are getting serious, and everything seems to be moving in the right direction for them. However, going up means at some point, you have to come back down.

This time, everything seems to hit the fan for these two people at the time when they need the other's support the most. The only problem, they are being pulled apart by their obligations and responsibilities. Yet, they must stay true to who they are, fight, and hopefully in the end, everything works out.

Yet we all know that no matter how much you love and trust someone, misunderstandings can happen. The true test is how you handle those times.

An Awesome Read!

I loved reading The Seduction Factor - Love Tangle: Billionaire Erotic Romance, all about Ciara Herrare a young Lighting Designer & Nikolaj Von Henningsen a Gaming Billionaire Mogul. In book one they met in Toronto & fell for each other. In book two he swept her off her feet! In book three he flew half way around the world to be her when her family life fell apart. In book four he again flew from Tokyo to NYC to take care if his girlfriend. The author has written an amazing creative smoking hot keep you wet series. Nikolaj & Ciara are so hot together and have so much fun together, you can't help but fall in love with them. I can't wait to read book five to see where they will end up. Take a chance and read this amazing series.

OMG she does it again!!

Scarlett Avery I just love to hate you!!

Scarlett has delivered the sexy, dirty talking alpha male Nikolaj to us again. As Nikolaj showers Ciara with affection, expensive gifts and out of this world orgasms we follow their budding romance to the next phase.

After receiving a text from Ciara about how her ex bombarded her Nik flys back to NY to be with her since he missed her so much. We are treated to hot, soak your panties sex and really filthy dirty talk hay will melt your panties off.

Careful of the cliffhanger that as always makes you want to rip your hair out. Middle of May cannot get here fast enough!!

Ciara has returned from Spain where her world just got turned upside down. Then gets another shock when her ex Dylan grabs her and threatens to do some really bad things to her. Her friend Harley is there for her. Nicolaj is as sexy as always and continues to rock Ciara's world. Ciara's business has an new client and this will change her world again. Mean while Nicolaj has a family business emergency and can't stay very long to continue to support Ciara. This new novella in The Seduction Factor definitely is hot and keeps you enthralled in Ciara and Nicolaj budding relationship and definitely left me dying for more...Bravo to Scarlett on this edition....can't wait for part 5.

Have you ever read a book that threw you curve ball after curve ball? Well, this would be one of them...However, I mean this in a VERY GOOD way! Scarlett Avery has done it again! "Love Tangle" is a book that will not only leave you in suspense (with her famous cliffhanger endings) but also with her ability to throw in juicy plots that intertwine with the main storyline. The way she keeps you in suspense with each character makes you crave for more!

This is definitely one book I would HIGHLY recommend in reading!! (But I would suggest that you start with Book 1..just to be able to follow the storyline or else you may be confused with "who's who"..... )

The Seduction series keeps getting better and better with each book. This series is a must read if you enjoy panty melting sex scenes that leave you breathless. The author's writing is subperb and exciting to read and craving more from the author. Love Tangle is book #4 in The Seduction Series it is best to read in order so you can follow the characters and how much they grow. Ciara is back home in New York and Nikolaj is in Japan for business. They meet again after an accident that happened to Ciara one night with her ex boyfriend. Sparks continue to fly between these two and plans are being made. Love this series!

Plenty of volcanic intimacy between the Danish man with a British accent and the woman afraid of falling in love here!

In this part, they tighten their bond with Italian food, emotional conversation and plans for the future.

It's an intense addition to the story as it's filled with friendly dialogues, provocative moments between Nikolaj and Ciara, and more naughty action than you can imagine.

On top of that, with a new challenge at work, Ciara's emotional journey reaches a peak that I was secretly cheering for. There is a war brewing for Ciara's heart and I'm so eager to see how it ends!

This just keeps getting better and better. Ciara is shocking not only herself but her friends when she realises she is falling hard to Nikolaj. Something she hasn't allowed herself to do since her ex.

Ciara has landed a huge client and Nikolaj has had to fly back to Copenhagen to deal with his brother who is threating the family busienss. It is clear they can't be without one another and when Ciara comes face to face with yet another blast from the past she is left to deal with it on her own.

And then we are hit with another cliffhanger..... nnnooooooo!!

I have just finished book four in Scarlet Avery’s series The Seduction Factor and I want more.

Just as the other books this book is hot and sexy full of sizzle which leaves your temperature rising that even a deep freezer couldn't cool you down.

There are more surprises and you can see how Ciara has really fallen for Nikolaj her drop dead sexy kinky Danish. He is every girls dream and we all need one like him stowed away in the cupboard.

I love this series and the more I read the more I can't get enough. What is installed next, only book 5 can reveal.

I gave this book 5 star.

This book was so good I couldn't put it down. The opening where Harley saves Ciara from Dylan was a beautiful twist. As the book goes on Nikolaj and Ciara call each other boyfriend and girlfriend and he wants her to meet his family in Copenhagen. The end has her meeting her ex fiancée and book 5 has her dealing with both men. It is so hot and sexy that you'll be afraid to touch stuff for feeling that they'll melt!!!

I absolutely love this series!!! Hot! Hot! Hot! An amazing alpha-male character you will swoon from start to finish. Ciara is also a very strong female character and these two together are simply put "on fire!" I saw the ending coming and suspected but it still felt like a punch to the stomach. The next installment can't come soon enough!!!
