A MUST READ! If you haven't read Money Power and Sex I just feel sorry for you at this point. It picks up right where that one left off and I'm spoiled now! I can not wait for the next installment. This book just kept me going! I didn't want to finish it. The characters are rich and deep but more importantly real. And the DRAMA... without giving away to much KD needed to get her groove back and now is starting to show what she's made of, which makes me wonder when all the drama comes to a head? I can not wait until the next book in this series comes out PLEASE don't have us waiting too long!

When he met her, she was a geeky little field mouse, but Marcus saw so much more beneath the surface. He saw brains, inner beauty and a drive to succeed in young Kendra, so he made it his mission to bring her out of her shell and give her the physical confidence to take life by the horns and get noticed. Years later, after Kendra has lost a promotion and Marcus, a former soldier suffering from PTSD and several failed attempts in the business world have moved from Texas to Richmond. Thinking their flailing romance could gain roots in their hometown, Marcus never figured on Kendra being so miserable and feeling stunted in her corporate climb.
Marcus has been unfaithful and he blames it on Kendra’s drive at work, but when Kendra is offered her job back in Texas, neither can agree on what to do, Kendra hates Richmond, Marcus hates Texas. When Kendra takes a romance timeout, she heads for St. Martin for some solo R&R. What she finds is Desmond, a dream come true, a god between the sheets, an Adonis everywhere else. She thinks she has found true love with a man who has opened her eyes to more than vanilla sex, to the beauty in a walk on the beach and to the joy of just letting go. Now she must decide, the man who has shared her life for years, or the man who has known her very soul? What will she find when she leaves her dream lover for the tribulations at home? Marcus has had some revelations of his own, and the future lay in what is left of their love.
SEDUCTION: A MONEY,POWER & SEX STORYby Norian F. Love is filled with passion, deceit, anger, pain and the fear of failure to thrive in a relationship. It is also filled with an awakening passion between two strangers how find more than they bargained for on a warm and sandy beach. Mr. Love writes with a passion of his own as his lays all of his characters’ flaws from the past and present as they come to terms with what they need, as well as want. Then again, you can’t always get what you want, will these two get what they need? Erotic passion will scorch the pages, anger and hurt will fuel the flames and Norian F. Love has another fabulous read for anyone looking for writing that is magnetic, characters that you like one page and cannot stand the next. One thing for sure, this is one book that will haunt you when you finish that last page.
I received this copy from Norian F. Love in exchange for my honest review.

Norian Love has once more brought another African Amaerican novel, Seduction, to life. The drama quickly excelerates as the pages are turned. Fast-paced, exciting, and full of action. The reality of relationships is seen clearly within this urban fiction piece. Never a boring moment where these characters are. Balancing careers, friendships, enemies, and love is a tough job. Some make it and some are left broken. Attraction, money, and sex are constant themes found here. I enjoyed watching as each character struggled with the weight of what life brought them. Readers can easily connect with the characters. Oh, the drama...is pretty intense and crazy. I would highly recommend this for those who love an endless amount of the drama life. Both the highs and lows of it. Seduction is a juicy yet entertaining piece of literature. Suited only for adults due to the content inside of it.

This author is so unbelievable with his writing. I can’t get anything done because I picked one of his books and read it and now I’m hooked. I have a headache because I was so engrossed in this story and it ended. This is some movie stuff!!
Don’t sleep on this author. ❤️

Wow!!!
GREAT story ... I cannot wait to read the sequel! That darn Ronnie is a sneaky, deceitful, bitch. She is the worst ... pretending to be a friend but stand ready to stab you in the back at a moment's notice! Desmond is no better because he is the hired hand that Ronnie used ... I guess money IS the answer to ALL things! I have too many words to express about the character, Elaine, that I will keep to myself ... none of it is good ... lol
I totally recommend this book; however, you can expect a few misspelled words.

This book was filled with twists & lies just like the first book! Ronnie still up to her scheming ways! I didn’t care for Marcus and his crazy red haired harlot Lol glad to see Kendra get her grove on in St. Martin.

4 1/2 stars
Wow! This series is crazy. I couldn't find anything negative about this book. This would be great as a television series. Kendra finally takes time for herself and leaves Marcus behind to find herself and decide what she wants to do with her life after Marcus basically throws their relationship away. Marcus was not a fan of mine in this book. He was selfish and only thought of himself, so I was excited to see Kendra get her groove back on her island vacation. Of course things couldn't be easy. Kendra met Des, who seemed to be the perfect man. Even after he revealed his occupation, Kendra pushes on and has the time of her life with him on her vacation. I was routing for Des all day, but there was just something sinister about him I couldn't put my finger on until the end. Marcus was so confused. Having affair after affair left him empty inside and facing a new threat to his relationship. This story was a prime example of not realizing what you had until it's gone. I loved the twists and deceit, and I absolutely cannot wait to see Ronnie get hers in the end. She was behind every broken heart in this series and I will enjoy her downfall.

This was a really good book that I didn't want to end. Kendra Daniels had all she’s ever desired; a great job in Houston and an even better relationship. But after losing out on a promotion to her rival, turned friend; and being transferred back to her hometown of Richmond, both her career and her love life are in doubt. When she goes to St. Martin where she meets Desmond I really liked him, but he had a crazy side chick Elaine and then there is Ronnie who I disliked she was suppose to be Kendra's friend she was up to no good there the whole book. I also feel bad about what's happening to Desmond. This book was a sequel to the first book but it didn't read like one. This book had some hot sex scenes in it the one with Marcus and another girl was hot. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book and I hope Ronnie gets what's coming to her.

Desmond, Desmond, Desmond!! Oh how I would love to hate him but simply can't because he had good intentions on behalf of family. Poor Kendra can't seem to catch a break and with "friends" like Ronnie, she never will. I did not see the trip to St. Martin ending with such betrayal but my, my, my does it have me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting impatiently for the next book. I don't know what to say about Marcus because again Norian has spun such a twisted web for this character where I want to upset but just can't do it. Now...Ronnie and Elaine, I can sooo dislike them without hesitation. LOL That being said don't hesitate to get this book and dive in! Thank you, Norian, for delivering another captivating book of true seduction!

A Must Read!!!
I don't know how Norian topped the first book, but he did! All I can say is....that dang Ronnie, I knew something was up and I felt a little iffy about Desmond. I can't wait to read the next one and see how everything unfolds with these characters. My first time reading this author and I am a fan!!

3.5 what in the heck did I just read
This was stressful AF. I’m still trying to process the level of emotional abuse I just subjected myself to and when I’m going to be mentally stable enough to jump back into this hellscape. Norian is a sadist, a talented one but a sadist none the less and this book would make Tyler Perry proud. It’s team Lucas and eff EVERYONE ELSE as of right now. EVEN RONNIE. How could you take my queen Bish from me like this?!? Anyway!! The levels and layers to this series are amazing and I haven’t even the slightest idea what to expect next but I’m going to be present and accounted for, for it all!

Wait, what did i just read???
As an avid reader it is very hard to find a sequel that is just as good if not better than the first book.
To put it bluntly, Seduction was amazing. I thought it would pick up right where MPS1 left off & it did but not with the same characters.
I finished this book in a day because I simply could not put it down. Very good story, fantastic character development but the plot twist at the end? Baaaby!!!
Mr. Love managed to write a book that will make any happily married woman ready to go to St. Martin to find her own Mr. Baptiste.
Another great book, try it. You'll thank me later. 😉

Loved this book but the ending left me wanting more.

I'm so mad!
This book was everything! I didn't think a book on Kendra and Marcus would be that entertaining, boy was I wrong?! I love how Kendra evolves throughout the book but I hate seeing her still friends with Ronnie's shady ass. I dislike Marcus from the beginning to the end. And Desmond Baptiste, yes indeed. Talk about a plot twist. I definitely need the rest of this story to play out.

Seduction: A Money, Power & Sex
Norian Love
✨Before you continue this review will have spoilers!!✨
✨Damnit, I just knew this would be Kendra’s moment for a happily ever after. I was so enraged lol when I found out it was all a lie. But, let’s start from the beginning. Kendra and Marcus are still in a mess of a relationship. Both parties are stuck in yester-year. Nothing will prepare them for the final chapter of their relationship.
✨Long story short, Kendra needs to decompress and dips. Marcus doesn’t care because his side piece is fulfilling his every need 👀. Kendra finally starts getting the attention she needs and more.
✨Now this goofball Marcus, lets his pride get in the way. Letting his mistress be his therapist was the most delusional thing he could’ve done. While I believe the ending of their relationship was necessary, I kind of felt bad for Marcus. With the loss of not only this relationship but his health too. Damn, that’s crazy.
✨Now back to Kendra, falling for Desmond. This man showed her a side of herself she wasn’t aware was there. I should’ve known that &Norianlove wouldn’t let there be a happy ending. All I know is, Ronnie can kick rocks with open toe shoes. I’m literally pissed lol.

It seems Marcus can't stop spreading his 💘 around town. Just like in Houston. TX. That's when Kendra meets Desmond Baptiste, a professional loverman...a professional in all things sexual. It seems he has seduced her thoughts as well as her body and she is willing to pay him to teach her more.
Has Desmond met a match for his ❤? Or is he being used as a ploy...probably evil a$$ Ronnie to get over on Kendra once again? Read SEDUCTION: MPS and get the answers to the above questions and so much more. Whew!

Love triangle in more ways than one.
Lies, Love and Lust is a cocktail for disaster. Kendra isn’t up for the challenge of her life, personal that’s is. Work is going the way she needs it to be but her personal life is a mess. From Marcus her man, her fake friend Ronnie , to her new love interest Des, or shall I say Mr Baptise ( who was a good introduction to the story line). I just got one question for the author, when is Kendra going to wake up? Running over the book 3 now

One name. RONNIE. I am so sick and tired of her! She has got to be the most miserable character ever!
I do wish Kendra had heard Marcus out first. I cannot wait for Kendra to find out about what happened in Houston
