What happens when you’re forced to seduce the one person you vowed never to love?

You get screwed … in more than one way.

I walked out of Tucker Middleton’s bedroom seven years ago, leaving him hurt and angry. Now I need his help; the only way I can get it, is to make him think I want him back.

The only problem is we have silently vowed to hate one another for the rest of our lives. In order to get Tucker to help me—I have to seduce him.

Easy right?

Hell yes! I’m the CEO of CMI Consulting. If I set my mind to something, I make it happen.

Charleston Monroe is playing me for a fool. If she believes for one second I’m going to let her walk into my life to help her save the very job that ripped her away from me, she’s got another thing coming.

She thinks she can seduce me, and I let her believe she can. After all, I’m getting what I’ve always wanted.

Her.

Caution:

This story contains crazy hot sex, and one shaved pussy.

This was my first book from this author, and while I don't think it'll be my last, this one just didn't work for me.

It started off great. A little second chance romance with a dash of hate/love is usually my crack of choice. But sadly I just couldn't connect to the characters. They're in their 30s yet sound and behave like teenagers. I wanted to love the heroine since she's exactly the type of heroine I enjoy in my books; strong, sassy and willful. But then I got to a point where if I read her inner monologue think "note to self" one more time, I was going to chuck my kindle at the wall.

I enjoyed Tucker but even he had instances where I had a tough time believing his age. He sounded like a sulky teenager in parts; particularly the one with his father.

All that aside, it would have still been a solid 3 star read, until I got to the second half. The dragging out of a simple misunderstanding that could have been resolved with ONE adult conversation drove me up the wall. It could have been resolved five times over, and yet it just kept being dragged out. The book could have ended at the 50% mark, in my honest opinion. The last half of the book was pure drama for drama's sake, and it totally fizzled out my enjoyment of the first half.

Would I read another book from this author? Absolutely! Would I recommend this book? It's definitely a thing of taste. Just because it didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't work for you. I wish I enjoyed it, but you just can't love them all.

This book was free on iBooks, so I gave it a try. It was a nice read but sadly not more than that. All the female characters were annoying and Lily was a person I literally hated.

Anyone who knows me knows that second chance love stories are my jam. Seduce Me was no different. This book was filled to the brim with fiery chemistry and snarky banter. Charleston and Tucker had a complicated past which made way for explosive fireworks!

With this being my first Kelly Elliot novel, I was super excited to jump into Charleston "Charlie" Monroe and Tucker Middleton's frenemies with benefits relationship. Without giving away spoilers, Charlie needs her former lover, Tucker to be with her but can't tell him why. What follows is a hilarious story filled with the sassy back and forth that I love in spades. This story stood out from the rest though in that I could really feel the strong feelings Tucker and Charlie had for one another but kept bottled inside despite their constant game of one-ups-manship. The sexytimes were smoldering and the side characters were great. I can't wait for more! 4 stars! ~Ratula

Tucker obviously doesn't know animals real well, "Tucker smirked. “I seriously doubt he knows I insulted him.” Mr. Pootie jumped onto Tucker’s lap and started to knead his paws right on his junk. “Hey! What in the h**l! He’s trying to claw my ***k!” Tucker doesn't hold anything back, “I’m so effing turned on right now. I want to lift that skirt up and eff you over your desk.” I loved this book, I really loved Tucker.

5 Star Review Seduce Me (Austin Singles #1) by Kelly Elliott

I was so excited when I heard that Kelly Elliott had a new series and jumped at the chance to read and review. This is a second chance at love story, a friends to lovers, lovers to enemies and back again story.

Charleston “Charlie” Monroe walked away from Tucker Middleton 7 years ago and has not looked back. Now, she desperately needs his help, the question is, will he help?

Seduce Me was full of off the charts chemistry between Charlie and Tucker and had me riveted from the first to the last page, honestly I couldn’t put this book down and read it in almost one sitting.

Charlie needs Tucker’s help but will not tell him the reason. Their camaraderie and banter had me in stitches at times and I loved how fiery the relationship between Tucker and Charlie was. I adore Tucker, he really isn’t afraid to say what he wants and frankly his alpha tendencies left me in tatters.

Tucker and Charlie must come to terms with the past before they can contemplate a future together. Can Tucker forgive Charlie for walking away or is he bound to the bitter past?

You could tell that Tucker and Charlie really do belong together but circumstances continue to drive a wall between them. Seduce Me was an angsty yet fun read that I thoroughly enjoyed.

The secondary characters caught my attention and I eagerly anticipate the next story in the Austin Singles series. I do believe Ms. Elliott has another winning series on her hands.

“I had fallen for Tucker the first time he grabbed my hand and walked me into the movie theater with our group of friends. To him it was a friendly gesture…to me it made my entire body come to life. I knew then he was going to be my kryptonite.”

“Anything for you, Charlie. You’re my fucking weakness. Always have been, always will be.”

Seduce Me is the first book in an all new and exciting series from author Kelly Elliott. Seduce Me is fun, flirty with a great pull and a romance that I just can’t get enough of. This story is the kind that I just live for and can’t get enough of.

From the moment I picked up Seduce Me, I was hooked. I was totally, completely, 100% addictive to these characters. They were fun. They were entertaining. They made stupid mistakes, but at the same time were determined and knew what they wanted out of life. I loved getting to know Charlie and Tucker. You could tell from the beginning that these two had unfinished business and I for one couldn’t wait to see how their story would progress. These two might have been separated for 7 years, but the sparks and flame were still there. The passion and chemistry between them; undeniable. And I just loved their banter. I never knew what they were going to say next and I loved that they kept me on my toes.

The road to HEA for Charlie and Tucker wasn’t an easy one. Mistakes and hurt from the past definitely was a hard thing to overcome, but once the truth comes to light, there’s no stopping these two. Did Charlie and Tucker frustrate me? Yes, absolutely. I didn’t know if I wanted to strangle them or hug them. But, I gotta tell you, all that frustration….it just added to those incredible will they/won’t they moments. At the end of the day, you could tell these two cared for one another a lot more than they let on, but they let fear rule their lives. For me, it was a lot of fun watching them try to figure things out and fight for what they really wanted.

Seduce Me is the first book in the Austin Singles Series and boy does it kick off this series with a terrific start. I live and breathe for story-lines like Charlie and Tuckers. Their story was just filled with delicious angsty moments, a great push and pull, and a love that’s worth fighting for. Seduce Me gave me all the feels and took my emotions on one crazy ride.

I loved every single moment of Seduce Me from beginning to end. It was fun. It was sexy and full of steam. I loved the characters. I loved their drama. I loved their fight. And I just can not wait for more. This series is off to one amazing start and I’m excited to see who’s story this author will have me falling in love with next.

Seduced me is everything you could wish for in a romance.




I loved it, I even got giddy at times, the story was that angsty and exciting and oh boy were the sex scenes sizzling hot!!.

This isn't an office romance, far from it, Charleston Monroe is put in an awkward position following the death of her father and she has to find a man to marry and who better than her first love Tucker Middleton, only problem is he now hates her after she left him high and dry after a one night stand years ago, so it's time to seduce the man and game on.



Seduce me is an exciting enemies to lovers romance that I could not put down and I highly recommend it.



Great characters, great plot, brilliantly written by Kelly Elliott with an excellent balance throughout, never a dull moment, I was flipping the pages eagerly to see how everything would go, what would happen next..

I would definitely read more in this series the secondary characters also caught my interest.

I don't want to add spoilers but I will say I recommend you buy it, dive in, read it and enjoy.

Not having read any other books by the author before, I didn’t know what to expect, but needless to say I was impressed with the story from beginning to end. From the cover to the intriguing synopsis, Seduce Me is a story about second chance romance with a few twists to keeps us wanting for more.

At the beginning of the story we are introduce to Charleston (Charlie) Monroe, a twenty-eight year old who has been groomed all her life to become the next CEO of her father’s billion-dollar global consulting firm. Although she has years before that happens, things quickly change when her parents passed away and she has to take charge of the company. Some question her ability to run the company and she doesn’t know what to do to make them believe in her. To make things worse the board tells her about a clause that her grandfather put in his will, one that requires her to marry in order to become the next CEO of the company if anything were to happen to her parents. Charlie doesn’t know what to do, she has a very limited time to get married and with the requirements that her future husband needs to have she is left with no one to turn to. That is until she sees Tucker Middleton again that things start to change for her.

Having met in college, Charlie and Tucker were inseparable until everything became too much for her and she left him a note before leaving him for good. It has been seven years since then and she hasn’t really seen Tucker but being best friends with his sister, it was only a matter of time before she saw him again. When she finds out that Tucker meets the requirements for her future husband, she sets out to seduce him in order to get him to marry her. But spending time together has brought them closer and she has to come clean before it’s too late.

Charlie stole Tucker Middleton’s heart and he hans’t been able to forgive her for what she did to him seven years ago. Everyone warned him about Charlie’s father and how much pressure he put on her in order for her to run the company some day. But he didn’t listen and just when they were getting closer she left him, breaking his heart in the process and that’s how he vowed to stop loving her ever since. He has worked really hard to own a successful bar and he is proud of being independent and not relying on his father’s money. What surprised him the most was see Charlie again, their first encounter since what happened is not great, they end up arguing and he hurts her feelings. But when he learns about the plan that she is making to seduce him he has a plan of his own right away. To seduce her in return and make her pay for what she did. Tucker quickly finds out that he has never stopped loving Charlie and he needs to convince her that they belong together before she leaves him for good again.

Without a doubt, Seduce Me is the perfect introduction to the Austin Singles Series. It was filled with so much chemistry between Charlie and Tucker. It’s evident that both of the characters have their own pasts to overcome, but together they are able to help each other move forward. I absolutely loved their banter and their sizzling steamy scenes. Kelly Elliott did a great job with the overall plot and pace. Everything was great, though the author could have explained a few things a bit further towards the end. Other than that, Seduce Me was a great story that I would highly recommend picking up. I loved the secondary characters and cannot wait to read more about them in the next books in the series. Will definitely be on the look out for those and any other works by the author. :)

**I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.**

Seduce Me is the first book in the Austin Singles series.

Charlie and Tucker met in college. They had an amazing weekend together but Charlie snuck out before things could go any further with Tucker. She has been groomed for years to take over her father's business, always told the business comes first before a man and love. It was advice she's followed for years. Tucker and Charlie have been around each other for years still hanging out with the same group of mutual friends, so hate flirting and verbal sparring were happening on the regular. When her parents die suddenly, she's left to take control of her father's company. After finding a clause snuck in that says she needs to get married, to stay as the CEO, Tucker is the first person that comes to mind. It's a horrible idea to seduce him and marry him for her job. Tucker overhears the plan and makes plans of his own to break her heart the way she broke his all those years ago.

I want to say I loved Charleston at first, but lord did she annoy me. Everything with Tucker could have been settled with one simple conversation but she refused to have it. I have to say she did win me over throughout the book. She's a tough nonsense boardroom woman when she wants to be and completely in love with Tucker. Tucker is swoon worthy and oh so sexy. Of course a Ms. Elliott read must. The chemistry love/hate is always bubbling right under the surface.

I can't wait to see where this new series goes! Nash is up next and I am dying to see him fall in love!

Gah. I swear. Kelly Elliott gets me every single time. A long time favorite author for me, I really shouldn’t be surprised anymore when I end up absolutely loving a book I wasn’t sure of. I didn’t know how I felt about Charlie and Tucker’s past before I really dove into their story. I thought I wouldn’t like Charlie a whole lot because of of it to be honest. But here I am head over heels in love with this book and feeling like Charlie’s number one fan!
These two are a prime example of true love doesn’t always mean easy, and sometimes second chances are even more beautiful than the first time around. Kelly Elliott’s beautiful writing not only brings these characters to life but also pulls you in so deep into their story you’ll lose all track of time. I sat curled up with this book crying for Tucker and Charlie, laughing, fanning myself, swooning, fighting the urge to knock them upside their heads. These two were freaking everything!

I don't know what took me so long to read this book but...oh my gawd this book was so freaking INCREDIBLE! Charleston "Charlie" and Tucker where nothing short of entertaining, intriguing and explosive! The love/hate relationship between these two was off the charts hot, hot, hot! Tucker and Charlie have been in love with each other since college and yet Charlie pushed him away only to regret the decision. What happens when you're faced with an ultimatum that threatens the one thing you've been groomed for all your life? In true Charlie fashion you take the bull by the horns and make it your slave! Such an amazing read that you won't want it to end!

I have officially found a new author to binge. This was my first book by Kelly Elliott. I know I know. Don't judge me. I can't believe I waited this long either. I absolutely loved this story though. It was so much fun. I loved the banter. I am also a huge sucker for second chance romances, so I loved the angst as well. I so loved these characters and I cannot wait to read more in this series. It has definitely pulled me in and left me wanting more and I will definitely be going back and reading more from this author.

This read had soo much potential!!!! It honestly just didn't do it for me. The back and forth drama between the Charlie and Tucker became annoying after they first hookup again. Charlie..Charlie..Charlie..for someone who is is supposed to be a strong woman, taking over as CEO for her dad's company..you honestly couldn't tell based on her behavior. While the writing was good the drama and pettiness between the two was dragged out and unnecessary.

I didn't hate this book.... but I didn't like it either. I just barely finished it. The main characters were insecure, petty and immature for about 80% of the book. It was driving me insane! And as for Tucker, constantly calling the woman you love "a bitch" throughout the whole book was a little much for me - killed the romance, no matter how much sex they had. By the end, I was glad it was over. I love a lot of Kelly's other books, so I was annoyed when this one turned out to be not so good.

I love the idea of the hero and heroine working their own agendas against one another because those kind of battles usually end up blowing up in one or both of their faces, especially when business and pleasure are mixed, creating one doozy of a showdown - one that’s outcome is bound to stir up past heartbreak and mistakes but also offer the couple an opportunity to make amends and move forward, hopefully together, despite the amount of time they’ve been apart and ill feelings that have remained.

Charleston ‘Charlie’ Monroe and Tucker Middleton definitely have unfinished business to contend with, and this is made clearer when these two lay eyes on one another for the first time in 7 years, and to complicate things even more, Charlie desperately needs Tucker’s help, which means that if she wants to accomplish what she needs to in order to keep her father’s company, she’ll have to seduce the only man she’s every truly loved despite the fact that he can’t stand her for what happened between them all those years ago.

What I found most entertaining about Charlie and Tucker’s story is that at some points in the book, it’s unclear who is seducing whom, but that’s what makes the plot that much more exciting and entertaining because readers get to watch everything play out right in front of them, amusing ourselves by the push and pull as well as the back and forth that exist between the hero and heroine and waiting for the time when they both lay themselves bare and work through everything that still seems to be holding them back from fully giving into the feelings that they have never truly given up.

There’s so much to love about Seduce Me, book one in Kelly Elliott’s Austin Singles series, and it’s not just the fact that there’s a caution after the blurb that talks of ‘crazy hot sex’ and ‘one shaved pussy.’ Both Charlie and Tucker are dynamic characters who show all sides of themselves as their story progresses, and despite our potential frustration with them due to their choices and their apparent dishonest as readers continue to get to know and understand everything that makes them who they are, it’s not a matter of if but when these two will give into the sexual tension that surrounds them, knowing that it’s always been Charlie for Tucker and Tucker for Charlie.

Second chance romances are definitely one of my favorite romance tropes and and even though Charlie’s and Tucker’s history has to be dealt with, amongst the hurt feelings, broken hearts, and conflicted emotions, is a love that will be doing the seducing because as much as Charlie and Tucker want to think that they’re in control of their feelings and actions, they lost that power a weekend over 7 years ago, and even if it takes them time to accept that truth, when they do, the steam, sass, and angst will explode into a passionate connection - one that they’ll never stop wanting.

Seduce Me is the first in the new series ‘Austin Singles’ by author Kelly Elliott. It’s also my first book by her and I don’t mind admitting it was a great start. I really loved her story about Charlie and Tucker. It was hot, sexy and fun in places and in others the raw emotions left me with tears in my eyes. I felt all the feels and there’s nothing better than that with a book as far as I am concerned.
Tucker and Charlie hooked up for one wild weekend whilst in college, but it never went further. Charlie had grown up knowing she had to concentrate of her schooling and then her job at her father’s company, she thought she had no time for a relationship. But, Tucker had been her undoing. And, even though she loved him like crazy, she walked away, leaving only a note behind.
Now, seven years later, Charlie has lost her parents and is in danger not being confirmed as CEO of her father’s company due to a bylaw her grandfather had written into the company rules. Forced to comply or lose everything she has worked for all her life, Charlie has just one option.
To get married.
Except there’s only one man whom she’d ever want to tie the knot with and he wouldn’t even give her the time of day, never mind save her a**. If she’s going to get her man, she’s going to have to be sneaky. Wily. Sexy. She’s going to have to…
Seduce him.
But, can she?
And in doing so, what will happen between them? She knows she still loves Tucker, but the man can’t stand her.
Or so she believes.
Tucker has loved Charlie for as long as he’s known her, and as much as he’d love to hate her he can’t. When he secretly finds out what Charlie needs and how she plans to win him over, he decides to turn the table on her and beat her at her own game.
Aah, games!! I guess we all know how games of this sort play out in the book world lol, and it’s no different here. It was fun watching them fall back in love all the while fighting it and denying how the felt. The sexy banter, the dirty talk and the hot as sin smexy scenes. I couldn’t get enough. But, when it all got deep, and dirty and real. That’s what I enjoyed the most.
This was a great first time read and I thoroughly recommend it, to fans of Kelly Elliott and newbies alike.

“If I was going to have to be married to someone, why not be married to someone I knew and had feelings for?”

Tucker Middleton has always been in love with Charlie. And all his dreams come true when she assumes that she loves him too and they live 72 hours of romance. What he did not expect was to wake up alone and see his dream turn into a nightmare.

At age 21, Charlie Monroe is a business student. Only daughter and heir of a multimillion-dollar company. She chose to meet her father's expectations, bury her dreams and when placed at the crossroads between business and love, chose to follow her father's advice and may have forever destroyed her chances with Tucker Middleton.

Seven years, Charlie's life changes drastically and suddenly. Unexpected circumstances will force her to marry. The candidate? It can not be anyone: it needs to be trained in Administration and a brilliant plan arises. A plan that from the beginning has everything to go wrong: Seduce Tucker to marry her to maintain her position as CEO in the company.

A couple full of chemistry and several doubts in the air: who is seducing who? Are they both in love? Is love going to be able to overcome everything and win? Or will anger, grief, and mistrust prevail? In the midst of so much uncertainty, in this dangerous game of seduction, betting everything can mean breaking your heart into a thousand pieces.

Despite the old cliché and the perhaps repetitive premise, the book has well-developed characters and real attitudes, with whom you can connect, even recognize yourself. And that stirs the reader's emotions.

Prepare for surprises (good and bad) and revelations throughout the course of the narrative. The book makes us rethink relationships, review priorities, and reflect on the choices we make and how they can affect the course of our lives. Everyone can make mistakes, do the worst bullshit. But can still fight and get their own happy ending.

FULL REVIEW to come for Blog Tour..... AMAZING start to Kelly's new series. I loved this story!!!

FULL REVIEW Now Posted::
Talk about HOT!! Seduce Me was filled with steam, angst, drama and romance!! This was a wonderful start to Kelly Elliott’s newest series….Austin Singles.

This book was everything I have come to expect when reading a Kelly Elliott book. Yes some of it was predictable and I thought some of the drama was too much, but I fully enjoyed this book and would recommend to ALL of Kelly Elliott fans.

Seduce Me is the first in this series and it is a second chance romance. This story is told to us in Dual POV and is a standalone novel. I am guessing this series is going to be a series where each of the books are standalones but you will want to read them in order to get the full story of all the characters. I thought the flow and pace of the story was spot on. If you are a lover of an enemies to lovers story with a lot angst then this is a book you will want to pick up and read.

In this book we follow Charleston (Charlie) and Tucker journey to a HEA. Charlie has been groomed since she was a little girl to take over her father’s company. Giving up everything she ever dreamt about when it came to her dreams and wants. Charlie is determined to make her father proud. Even if that means she has to give up the man she loves. Tucker has been friends with Charleston since they met in college. Tucker and Charlie shared a very hot and steamy weekend in college, but Charlie walked away from Tucker without telling him why. Now 7 years later and these two can’t stand to be in the same room with each other. When Charlie’s face with a personal tragedy and finds out to take over her father’s company she has to adhere to a clause her grandpa put into place, the only person she can think that can help her is Tucker. Can Charlie and Tucker get past their issues?? Will these two ever get the second chance they both want?? What happens when secrets and lies are revealed?? Read this book to find out all the juicy details to those questions.

I enjoyed meeting all the secondary characters in this book. Each person added their own element to this story and helped set up the story for the next book in this series….Entice Me.

Seduce Me had my emotions all over the place. I was laughing at times, smiling most of the time, crying at certain parts that my heart broke over and over and then yelling when things didn’t go the way I wanted…lol ;) This is truly what I look for in a 5 star read.

I would 100% recommend this new series to all lovers of second chance romances and those who love an angst enemies to lovers story. If you are a fan of Kelly Elliott’s you are not going to want to miss this new series!!! Pick this book up….you won’t be sorry!!!!

Seduce me was such a good second chance story and one that can't be missed , it is book one in the Austin Singles series and I can't wait to read more about characters that were mentioned and hopefully see more of the couple from this one . Seduce me is the second book that I've read by Kelly Elliott and I need more stat . We have a good story line that builds through every chapter , characters to love , some to have , and one hell of an emotional roller coaster ride that I don't want to get off on .When we learn the truth of why the couple was torn apart my heart really went out for them wanting Tucker and Charleston to find there way back to one another but there will be some bumps on the way that will make you question if it's worth it and if the couple is strong enough to make it through the storm . I highly recommend Seduce me in needs to be in your hands as soon as possible .

~~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads ~~

This is the first book in a new series - and there is a hint at the end of who gets their story told next (can't wait!). There is a degree of world building, but nothing too intense, and we are given a good range of time and people to get to know. From corporate bad behaviour, to weekends at the Lake House, there is plenty going on here. There are also some very unexpected revelations; Lily's story most definitely needs more exploration.

There are stories where lack of trust, and miscommunications are at the root of the problem, and then there is this tale of twist, double twist and counter twist. Trying to keep up with who knows what and who they are talking to and who they are not is fraught with the danger that the whole thing falls apart. Of course we know it will, and spend a lot of time waiting and expecting it to happen... it is both fun and frustrating, especially when we know just how much they care for each other. The influence of their fathers in shaping their lives may be very significant, but now is the time to make decisions themselves. The chemistry is off the page, it's just everything else Tucker and Charlie have to straighten out.

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the rest of the series. I also want a picture of Mr Pootie - as my mind boggles!

I've read a few Kelly Elliott books and have loved them, so I jumped at the chance to read this new series. While I liked the book overall, I felt the main characters were pretty immature and kind of brats at different points throughout the story.

Charlie Monroe has recently lost her parents, and will be taking over as CEO of her father's consulting firm. She has always been married to her job, because her father groomed her that way (only child, shocker). Seven years ago, she gave into her feelings for her best friend's brother, Tucker Middleton. They spent a weekend together, and Charlie left him high and dry with a note. Rude.

Present day and Charlie discovers that there is a clause in the by-laws of the company that Charlie has to be married to take over the company; to someone with a business degree and she has to be married within 4 months of her father's death (huh?). The only person Charlie could ever see herself marrying is Tucker, but they don't really get along. At all.

Tucker has the chance to get back in with Charlie, and quite frankly, he acts like an ass. He does to her what she did to him. I felt like they were both immature brats for a while in this story. They both seemed to want to get back at each other, but in the meantime, they are in love with one another and are both too stubborn to admit it.

Then there is a side story with Lily, the sister and best friend. She was also quite frankly kind of a bitch, especially to Charlie. I really did not understand her character. She was secretly dating one of Tucker's best friends, Nash. Nash was a really great character, and thankfully, the next book is about him (but NOT with Lily, thank god).  Tucker's friend Blake is a good guy too, and I'm sure the third book will be about him.

Once Tucker and Charlie got over themselves, the book was good. I found the marriage clause pretty stupid as a storyline, but the way it worked out actually made the story more interesting.

The book was a little choppy, with all the back and forth revenge plots, but the characters were good and it made up for it. Overall, this was a good book and I would recommend it.

Great way to start a series; Charlie and Tucker were hilarious and hot all wrapped up in one. This story was different because roles were reversed and I loved it!!! Charlie and Tucker had an amazing weekend together back in college but the following morning she was no where to be found. She walked out and was cold hearted to Tucker. All Charlie cared about was running her dad’s business.

Fast forward 7 years and these two still hate each other because of that night. But deep down they are in love with each other. Then something heartbreaking happens to Charlie and requires Tucker’s help. But these two are so stubborn and their banter makes a good recipe. Charlie is not as cold hearted as everyone thinks she is and Tucker can’t find it in him to not help her or let go.

It’s a whirlwind of madness mixed with hotness but you’ll enjoy it from beginning to end. Their friends add for more fun stuff and heartwarming moments. I loved the ending and I can’t wait for book 2 in this series.

I was pulled right into this story. The story has secrets, and heartbreak.

This is Charleston and Tucker‘s story. She left him seven years ago and they vowed to hate each other forever. Now she needs his help. She has a plan to seduce him into helping her. But what happens when he is on to her game. Can he let her think she is getting help from him? Or is he about to turn the tables on her. After all he wants a piece of her again. What happens when plans go astray? Will one get the help they need, or will both end up falling for each other and leaving hate in the past?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

Sweet, sexy, fun and soulful, this enemies-to-lovers story was everything that I need in a romance. One thing is for certain, Tucker Middleton is a hero worth reading about and I certainly found myself quickly rooting for him. As for Charlie, she is so incredibly lovable, sweet and sassy.

Charleston, “Charlie”, Monroe has inherited her father’s consulting firm. But she will need to be married in order for her to become chairman of the board. The only man Charlie could ever imagine being married to is Tucker Middleton. The problem with this arrangement is that they have been enemies ever since she walked away without so much as a word, to focus solely on her studies and her father’s expectations.

The chemistry between Charlie and Tucker is amazing, they are absolutely adorable together. Their back and forth banter was irresistible. I really like second chance stories and this one was special. Some parts were really funny and cute, with great dialogue and the author does a great job of building up the tension. This time around, Tucker is determined to level the playing field and play Charlie’s dating game by his rules.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this story, I will certainly be picking up more books by Kelly Elliott, as she certainly knows how to create a delightful read with endearing characters and page turning dialogue!

Young love becomes adult manipulation. Kelly Elliott brings on the sass. Seduce Me is a tempting look at how exes go about getting a second chance. Charleston is a firecracker with much to prove and a ton to make up for. Tucker is a brick wall that will not tumble easily. With a past that is littered with regret and a present that is full of hidden agendas the future may not be all too bright for their new beginning. Seduce Me does steam like only Kelly Elliott can. Tucker and Charleston prove that even the most broken of hearts, deserve the chance to heal.
