London Vampires #3
Seduce
Bloodlust runs in his veins, a dark master waiting for the day it will reign over him. Now a woman with a pure soul and wicked intentions has him in her sights and is determined to crack the ice around his heart, and she might save or damn him.
Antoine stands apart from the world around him, a dangerous and broken soul who must maintain rigid control at all times or risk his dark addiction finally seizing hold of him. The shadows of his past haunt him and he sees his bleak future each night when his brother wakes screaming, his blood addiction turning him savage. He cannot allow himself to feel, but when Sera walks into Vampirerotique, the theatre he runs with three other vampires, to audition, she awakens dangerous desires in him—hungers that could spell the end of both of them.
Sera has wanted Antoine since the night she first saw the gorgeous aristocrat vampire. She can’t ignore the deep carnal hunger he stirs in her or the ache to know the heat of his touch. With the help of her sire, an ex-performer at Vampirerotique, she sets in motion a game of seduction, one designed to thaw the ice in Antoine’s veins and make him burn for her.
When Sera discovers the shocking truth about his past and the darkness that lurks within him, will she be strong enough to seize his heart with both hands and win him forever or will she lose him to the ghosts that still haunt him?

Review by Ollie for bittenbyparanormalromance
Seduce is the third book in the Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series by Felicity Heaton and having read all the books in this series so far this one is by far my favorite! The depth of the emotions that the characters express and the beautiful way the author has of describing the scenery had me lost in the pages into the wee hours of the morning.
I don't know where to begin to express how much I loved this book! Everything about it was perfection from the characters right down to the storyline. There is so much to say so let me first start off with the leads in the story Antoine and Sera.
As regular readers of the series will recognize Antoine is one of the owners of the theatre and brother to Snow (mmmm Snow I will get to him). A thousand year old vampire who keeps an emotional distant from others, except his brother, and leaves himself closed off from forming any attachments.
In Seduce I discovered the depth of his pain and the reason behind his coldness and I could not help to want to comfort him and make him mine. Although he presents a tough facade it is really an armor that he maintains in order to keep the ghosts that haunt him at bay. As the story progresses this beautiful man both inside and outside starts to allow that armor to crumble and readers are given the chance to see the true Antoine; a compassionate man who would sacrifice his own happiness for the ones he loves, capable of fierce devotion and a broken man who wishes to be able to find comfort, peace and happiness.
I have to say I love Sera! She is the type of heroine I truly enjoy reading about and love all the characteristics that the author gave her. Compassionate, tender, gentle, comforting, selfless, understanding, brave, courageous and most of all full of love to give to everyone around her. Sera has been watching Antoine for many weeks and deep down in her soul she knows Antoine is the vampire for her. Despite warnings from her sire that Antoine is not the type of vampire she should try to capture Sera can sense behind the strong, powerful, cold vampire a passion that is waiting to be unleashed and calls to her soul. She has never felt this way for anyone before and she cannot explain the magnetic draw to him.
The relationship that develops between the two of them touched my heart as Sera in her own way broke down Antoine's armor and showed him he is worthy of being loved. Now the sexy time between them was intensely hot, not only because of how talented Antoine was, but because of the deep emotional connection they had with each other, baring their heart and soul.
I have to say to all the Snow fans is you are going to LOVE this book! We get to see Snow quite a bit and hear him open up about himself; the depth of his bloodlust, the horror of it and how it has affected him. There were several scenes between Snow and Antoine that were so touching it made me cry at the depth of their brotherly love and devotion for each other. Another scene that was also very moving was with Snow and Sera together and her compassion in showing understanding and providing comfort and peace to both Snow and Antoine made me really love her.
I highly recommend this book to everyone because it will touch you and enthrall you on so many different levels that you will not want to the book to end. I can't wait to read the next book in the series, but most of all I would love to see more of Antoine and Sera and definitely Snow in his own book! After learning so much about him your heart will ache for him and wish for peace and happiness for him.

Solid 4.5 Stars
This was and intense, decadent read. Antoine & Snow broke my heart, had me crying... The dynamic with these 2 brothers is beautiful & heartbreaking. Loved watching how they relate and respond to one another and finding out more about their tragic history.
And everything else about this story, is quite awesome too. VERY blush worthy ;)
Another great installment to this series. I'm onto book 4.

Seduce is the third book in an incredible series and I swear they just keep getting better. I have no clue how Felicity has managed to make me enjoy each book more than the previous, but she has.
Sera has been frequenting the theatre for months with her sire. She enjoys going immensely, but it is not to watch the acts on stage. She spends her time in the theatre watching one of its proprietors, Antoine. She is so attracted to him that she has decided to do anything to get past his icy unapproachable façade. Her sire has given her numerous warnings that no one gets close to Antoine, but it has only fueled her desires to get closer to him.
Antoine doesn’t let anyone get close to him. His has too many unhealed wounds from his past, a deep rooted fear for what the future holds for him, and a bloodlust crazed brother to deal with. The theatre is the only other thing he has made room for in his life. I knew he would have some darkness in his past, but I never imagined his life had been so tragic. This vamp deserved a happily ever after. He got quite the impressive lady too.
I absolutely loved Sera. She is one determined vamp. She wants Antoine. She sets out to seduce Antoine. She does not run when she learns all about him, she never even blinks. I like this type of character. Antoine has gotten used to the status quo of his life. He does not seem overly eager to change anything about it. Sera makes him want more than the little he has gotten used to. I found myself fist pumping and cheering for Sera and her determinedness.
For Snow fans like myself, readers learn much of the reason for why he is the way he is. I’m sure there is much more to learn about him though. It’s all very tragic and will leave you craving his story even more than you already were.
A couple of new male vamps were introduced. Callum and Javier’s brothers will be brought into the theatre’s inner workings. Readers are given just enough details about them that they are left impatiently waiting for the next book. One of the brothers seems to have some nature of secrets in his past. He also seems dark and broody. I can’t wait to read more of this very sexy vampire series!

I did a video review of Seduce, which was super freaking good! If you would like to see my video review CLICK HERE. Let me know what you think.
BELOW is my WRITTEN review if you'd rather read what I thought than watching.
This but is definitely a treasure... and my guilty pleasure. This book was full of excitement, and I always enjoy entering this wonderful world that Felicity has created.
This is the 3rd book in this series and it is Antonio and Sera's story. Sera is a "changed" vampire which means she is at the BOTTOM (social class wise) of all Vampires. Sera has fantasized about making Antoine hers ever since she first laid eyes on him... but there are a couple of problems. Number 1 he is an ARISTOCRAT vampire, and number 2 he appears to have no emotions whatsoever. Sera doesn't let that deter her... instead it motivates her to break through his walls of defense. To try and do this she decides to audition for a position in the Vampire Erotic Theatre but her Interview went in a whole different direction than she thought it would.
Here she finally gets the chance to Seduce Antoine, does she succeed? Well, you will just have to buy this book to find out! You definitely get to see more of Snow in this book and I was super excited about that... in addition you get to see another side of him! I really loved this book guys "hence the five stars". So, go buy it, read it, love it, and review it so I can see what you thought about it!

Story: GOOD
Intimacy Level: GOOD/ VERY SPICY
Enjoyment: GOOD
Haven't gotten bored of the Vampirerotique theatre. With Antoine's story, it lives up to it's title, Seduce. In Seduce, Sera, is a turned vampire and not consider high in ranking. At Vampirerotique, she's always notice, Antoine. With much staring and trying to get his attention, Sera finally decides to do what she must in order to get Antoine's attention. And what she decides to do is not what she wants, but if it gets his attention she is ready to take it there. I was surprise to learn about Antoine as his past made him mysterious, sex and appealing to me. So when he finally came together with Sera, even though he was trying to show control, it became exciting and explosive for me.
Since Covet (Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series Book 1), I have been a fan of Antoine's brother, Snow. And a lot was reveal regarding both brothers. I have been patiently waiting for Snow's story and hope that the build up from his personality will be explosive with whomever the author puts him with.

I was not particularly a fan of Antoine in book 2; his distance and apathy rather helped me to empathise with Callum and Kristina. So when I realised book 3 was centred on his character, I wondered how Felicity would win me over. And geez, win me over she did!
Antoine, is still the same vampire from Covet and Crave, yet what I discovered in Seduce is his tortured beautiful soul. His bond with his brother Snow *sigh* is so beautifully crafted and presented, that it really allowed me to not only warm up to Antoine’s character, but I was ready to melt in his arms.
Sera’s character is very different to the previous female mains. I really like this, especially when Felicity creates such strong female characters. It was very easy to like and identify with Sera, which is always a bonus when you find yourself falling for the male lead character. It stops me from resenting her – lol!
Seduce has a superb pace, and as always is well-crafted, in addition to being a divinely steamy read.

Seduce is another outstanding read!!! Felicity Heaton draws you in on the first page, and I couldn’t put it down until I finished. This is Antoine’s story where Sera works to seduce him. He battles his past heartache, pain, and tragedy. It is a very yummy read; I want an Antoine of my own. This series is a must read for all of Felicity’s fans. She is an artist with words. She is one of my favorite authors. :)

I got this book as part of the Dark and Dangerous, Six-in-One Hot Paranormal Romances Boxed Set. This is the third book in the Vampire Erotic Theatre series.
Ok. This one was maybe 2 - 2.5 Stars. I didn't DISlike it, but I didn't necessarily LIKE it either. It read sort of like watching a video porno. Lots of sex, but not much plot. Paranormal isn't really my cup o' tea, but I can handle simple vampire and werewolf stories that don't get to crazy with other mythological beings and whatnot. This story just had vampires, so the paranormal aspect was alright for me.
On an erotic level, this story was maybe 3.5-4 Stars. There was A LOT of sex and most of it was good enough to get me hot and bothered. As the story progressed, however, I found myself skimming the sex stuff because there was a lot of words about their feelings and his struggle with his past hurts and whatnot and just got a bit redundant.
Antoine was nearly killed by a vampire he was very close to about 200 years ago. He also had a 100 year relationship with a female vampire who just up and left with no explanation. Vanished into thin air. Plus there's the little genetic problem of uncontrollable bloodlust. So he has A LOT of reason to distance himself from people (er, vampires as the case may be). Sera is a young vampire (she's only been a vampire for 30 years). She's had her eye on Antoine for awhile and she finally gets an opportunity to seduce him. So the story is about them finding love with each other, or more about her making him see that he's worthy of love and that he deserves happiness.
Here's my biggest issue with the story: Yes, Antoine was "damaged" goods and he was all angsty (as he had a right to be), but about 90% of the story was about his angst. It just kinda got to the point where I wanted to go into the story and kick him in his mangina. Sera is a character with a wealth of patience, compassion, and understanding. Her devotion to the man (although he was worthy of her love), was almost stalkerish. She was willing to blindly look past anything negative just to be close to him. Also, there wasn't a whole lot to the plot. He was all angsty over his previous lover just up and vanishing on him and then when she suddenly makes a reappearance (as all slimy ex bitches do...), he doesn't try to bombard her with questions like, "Where the fuck have you been for the last 300 some odd years, Bitch? And why did you leave me?" Sera gets all jealous (OBVIOUSLY) and he's just like, "Ok. She's gone. I don't even have to be the one to tell her so." It just felt incomplete. She either shouldn't have come back at all, or there should've been some sort of showdown, even if it was a civilized discussion. Instead there was zero resolution.
The story wasn't awful, but it could've been so much more. It was short, so that was a definite point in the 'plus' column. And most of the sex was good. But the almost complete lack of a plot limited the number of stars I'm willing to give this story. It might be right up someone else's alley, but it just wasn't for me... If you just want a lot of sex, this is the story for you! If you like some sustenance with your sex, you're likely to be as disappointed as I am...

See the full review, including Memorable Quotes and my Final Thoughts, on GraveTells here http://gravetells.com/2012/07/26/revi...
The Vampire Erotic Theatre series is both a tease and a treat, a voyeur's dream. With each successive story, Ms. Heaton gives us a little more in-depth look into the workings of and performances in the theater, and Seduce follows that tradition without shame, starting out the story with glimpses of a steamy orgy between Victor and some of the other performers.
Sera, a relatively young "turned" vampire, wants Antoine so badly she's willing to audition as a performer in his erotic theater. As one of the Aristocracy, an Elite like Sera is below his notice and his duties as theater manager keep him busy enough that having to personally facilitate her audition is a serious irritation. When Victor, the theater's star performer, shows up at her audition, Sera realizes what she's expected to do, in front of the man she's trying to impress, and a beautiful awkwardness ensues. A seductive striptease that steamrolls into a fiery, aching seduction, Seduce is hot, heavy, and enthralling within the first quarter of the novella. Ms. Heaton is a master of crafting alluring characters who are complicated and deep, and evoke powerful emotions with punch and passion... both as individuals and as a couple.
Antoine had quick appearances in the previous two stories (Covet and Crave) but his past hasn't been explored until now, and boy is it a beast. Living with such scars for so long has taken its toll and Ms. Heaton paints his struggle vividly and with heart-wrenching depth. Covet and Crave both hinted at dark secrets in Antoine's and Snow's past, but the depth of the suffering they've endured is far harsher than I'd expected, and really sets the bar high for future stories in this series. By the time we get to Snow's book, I think I'm going to be a nervous wreck!
The connection between Antoine and Sera is deep and strong, probably the most vibrant of any of the VET couples to date. I loved the vulnerability they exposed to each other and the sheer intensity of passion they brought out in one another. Moments, more like chapters, were so hot I had to stop reading in public (on my tablet, where the cover wasn't even visible!) for fear I was making revealing expressions and little noises. Embarrassing, right? But so true! And SO good!
One of my favorite parts about Seduce was getting to know Snow better. It will be a few books before we get to his story, and the new characters are great - unique and interesting - but he is going to need a really strong woman, and their story is bound to be a rollercoaster of a ride!

The Vampire Erotic Theatre series is both a tease and a treat, a voyeur's dream. With each successive story, Ms. Heaton gives us a little more in-depth look into the workings of and performances in the theater, and Seduce follows that tradition without shame, starting out the story with glimpses of a steamy orgy between Victor and some of the other performers.
Sera, a relatively young "turned" vampire, wants Antoine so badly she's willing to audition as a performer in his erotic theater. As one of the Aristocracy, an Elite like Sera is below his notice and his duties as theater manager keep him busy enough that having to personally facilitate her audition is a serious irritation. When Victor, the theater's star performer, shows up at her audition, Sera realizes what she's expected to do, in front of the man she's trying to impress, and a beautiful awkwardness ensues. A seductive striptease that steamrolls into a fiery, aching seduction, Seduce is hot, heavy, and enthralling within the first quarter of the novella. Ms. Heaton is a master of crafting alluring characters who are complicated and deep, and evoke powerful emotions with punch and passion... both as individuals and as a couple.

An erotic masterpiece!
Vampire Sera isn't a real fan of accompanying her maker to the Vampirerotique theatre for the racy entertainment, she's there for one reason and one reason only, the dark and mysterious Antoine, one of the theatre's proprietors. Sera yearns to have a chance at seducing Antoine and is determined to get his attention at any cost. Her sire's warnings just make her desire for him that more intense. Seducing the centuries old, tortured vampire will not be easy be an easy task for Sera, but stealing his heart is where the true challenge lies.
At first glance Antoine appears to be solely focused on work and have no intentions to pursue love. As Sera slowly works her magic, we learn he isn't incapable of emotion but suppresses that part of him due to a heartbreak that has left him scarred. When those walls finally come down, Antoine reveals how how big of a heart he really has. His relationship with his brother Snow is quite touching and also shows a softer side to this dark and passionate vampire. Antoine is at his most vulnerable when he loves and when he loves it's fiercely and completely, Sera is one lucky woman! Watching him open up to her melted my heart.
Sera is a protagonist to admire. Sure she's not some kick ass warrior, but she's a fighter in her own right, she puts it all on the line for love and doesn't take no for an answer. Her character was a delightful surprise. We usually meet strong leading ladies who are feisty but rarely make the first move when it comes to romance. Sera's confidence and compassion are her best assets, it's a treat to watch her play the game of seduction with Antoine throughout the book.
Seduce is the third installment in the Vampire Erotic Theatre series and Ms. Heaton has outdone herself. She flawlessly creates a world of dark and erotic characters that tug at your heartstrings and make your pulse race! Sera and Antoine scorch up the pages and the Felicity Heaton's intricate attention to detail allows the reader to play a voyeuristic role while reading their seductive encounters. The transformation of the hero from icy to passionate and our heroine's determination and unconditional patience for her lover really gives us the best of both worlds, unbridled passion and romance. You'll instantly be swept away into this erotic and sensual world of vampires and crave for more!

Review also posted at link: Inder the Covers Book Blog
True to the title, Ms. Heaton has SEDUCED me further, falling in love with her Vampire Erotic Theater Series. And true to the series name, this book is an enthralling EROTIC love story you would not want to miss.
Antoine, a top-notch part owner of Vampirerotique has been a big mystery to me. Besides the theater business, all that seemed to matter to him was his bloodlust brother. I found it odd that Snow and Antoine had always just been so involved with each other. When one came, the other followed. Well, it’s not what it looks like or what I thought. I certainly know now that its deep and it is due to a grief-stricken past.
Sera a newly turned vamp had set her eyes on Antoine. As an independent woman, she knows exactly what she wants and has the balls to go after it. If it means auditioning for a part at the theater, she will go the distance. She was determined and didn't play the annoying heroine who often used the pity card. Ms Heaton did well with her match making decision and with that, a well deserved and long overdue happy ending for our uptight Antoine.
I devoured this book, taking in every bit of Antoine and Serra's love story. Despite of the short length, Ms Heaton was able to make their romance believable. Antoine was every bit of Alpha as Javier and Callum. There is a good amount of steamy hot scenes. *cough*The handcuffs got me squirming*cough*. Speaking of hotness, there are two new characters to help manage the theater. There wasn't a lot of information about them yet but I'm sure we will soon enough.
We got a good bit of Snow in this book and boy, he is every of what I expected. He does have a wicked and tortured past. I think he is in need of a heroine who can sate his hunger for his blood lust and/or other things he may need…*cough* ME*cough*. I can guarantee you, his book will be EPIC!
Ms. Heaton does not disappoint! She had given ME a good dose of VET to last me until the next book is released. NOT. I will probably be hounding her via social media to get a glimpse of Snow. =)

2.5 stars
- Main Couple: Antoine (vampire) / Sera (vampire)
- POVs Included: Dual POVs (Sera, Antoine)
- Book Playlist (Vampire Romance Book Playlist)
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
SUMMARY: (SPOILER WARNING)
Sera has had her eye on the broody, stoic vampire in charge of Vampirerotique. But he hasn’t seemed to notice her. So she convinces her sire (Elizabeth) to set her up with an interview to work at the club, with the hopes of maybe getting a few minutes alone with him.
It takes some effort, but when she finally breaks down his walls, she learns he’s harboring a lot of fear and concern about hurting others with bloodlust (like his brother Snow). But he’s also worried about being hurt again, like he was by the last woman he loved.
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
REVIEW:
Meh. Again, this series is really mediocre. It’s not BAD, but it’s also not very good either.
I did think it was interesting to have the female pursuing and seducing the male in this romance instead of the other way around. This was different. But because of that, Sera came across as kind of desperate at times. She wasn’t my favorite.
The steam is mediocre in these as well. I think I’m most disappointed by this. Because with novellas I expect the steam to be good even if the story isn’t very developed. But that’s not the case here.
The one thing going for this book was the relationship between Antoine and his brother Snow. Their connection and history was fascinating and really endearing. I loved how close they are and their bond and devotion to each other was so sweet to read.
But the romance itself was just okay.
I don’t love this series, but I will read the last few books because they are short and I REALLY want to read Snow’s book now and see how he is saved. I feel so bad for him and really want to see him recover.
Overall it was meh. Just okay. Like all the others in this series. They aren’t amazing or anything. But I do like that they are shorter so I can pick them up when I’m in a vampire mood but not a 300+ page book vampire mood. lol

Seduce is the 3rd installment in the "Vampire Erotic Theater" series. This is a novella that can be read as a stand-alone without feeling lost in the story.
Bloodlust runs in his veins, a dark master waiting for the day it will reign over him. Now a woman with a pure soul and wicked intentions has him in her sights and is determined to crack the ice around his heart.
Antoine, one of the owners of Vampirerotique, has kept himself walled off from all emotion since his blood addiction has been threatening to take over. With a dark past that haunts him every day, the only one he cares about anymore is his brother, Snow. That is until Sera comes into the theater one night with her Sire to audition for a job. Sera has no idea that awakening feelings in Antoine that had long been buried could be her downfall. Will she risk it all for the unattainable Antoine? Will she even want to when she finds out about his dark addiction?
Sera certainly has a "get him at all costs" attitude. She's been admiring Antoine from afar at the theater but now has come up with the "brilliant" plan to audition for a part in order to get some alone time with him. Things don't go down quite like she was hoping but obviously we wouldn't have a story if she didn't get somewhere *wink, wink*. Antoine was certainly a tough man to crack, but after getting to know him and his brother Snow, you can certainly tell why. Especially with a past relationship that he has been dwelling over for many years. Their story managed to build it's way up even for a shorter book and didn't feel rushed.
I have to say that I am really anticipating Snow's book now! We found out just enough about him to be very intrigued while still leaving him a huge mysterious, tortured character. I can't wait for him to get his happily-ever-after. Obviously I'm not alone since Ms. Heaton is holding out on his story, saving the best for last I'm hoping. This was certainly a fast, sexy read!

(4.5 star Night Owl Reviews Top Pick review written by Talina Perkins)
Plot & Characters:
A thought provoking, intense and erotic tale of seduction! Seduce lured me in and held my heart captive 'till the very end!
In this installment to Felicity Heaton's Vampire Erotic Theater Series we follow Antoine, part owner of Vampirerotique, and Sera, an Elite newly turned human, through a passionate story of seduction that consumed my every thought. Always known as cold and calculating, Antoine never saw himself falling for a female after suffering through the failure and pain of his last relationship. Sera knows what she wants and has Antoine in her sights no matter what it takes. One an Aristocrat of pure blood, the other an elite of the lower class, together a tale of forbidden love that unfolds within the famous Vampirerotique Theater where all the other characters of past and future installments can be found.
From the beginning each page is filled with profound emotions and revelations that will have you falling for not only Antoine but also his tormented brother, Snow. We're taken deeper into the brothers' relationship and their heart wrenching past while learning Sera's place and purpose in Antoine's life, if there is one at all. Both the opening and the closing of Seduce are of an equal all-consuming suspense. The author writes with focused attention and knows how to tale an exquisite erotic paranormal romance!
Writing:
Ms. Heaton has taken quite nicely to the spicier side of writing romance! She writes with a level of attention that pulls readers in while making the romance sizzle with passion and lust! As I've said in the past, Ms. Heaton is a natural!
Summary:
The first two books of this novella series gave readers a nice introduction to Antoine before we got to his book. I was uncertain as to what his story would be but couldn't wait to see what the author had in store for him. She didn't disappoint! Seduce is an all-consuming erotic romance that will pull at every single heart string you have!

Well I have to agree with previous reviews, this series just gets hotter as the books get written. The chemistry between Sera and Antoine was smoking hot!! The bedroom scenes - ** yeesh **.. If your toes are not curling and heart not racing after these smexy , neck bitting scenes then something is definite not ticking right lol. Do keep in mind that Felicity does include a wonderfully drafted storyline, and plot to go with each series as they progress.
Felicity gave us a little SNOW - I went to bed stroked his face and sung him a lullaby and even handcuffed him to my bed ** snickers **
Dreaming I know - But hey! I can't wait to get my SNOW fix...
I really enjoyed Antoine's character - We see his anguish - heartache, and the love he feels towards his brother, his worry and concern over his blood lust and the turmoil he goes through to try and keep it at bay. Felicity gives us insight into both Snow and Antoine's blood lust and the fear the both carry inside.
I thoroughly enjoy the way in which Felicity Heaton portrays the characters emotions, it's as though we can see, feel and hear every part of them. She definitely grasps this well.
The depth of emotions inspired and put forth is wonderful. Felicity's talent for vivid detail and emotions certainly shines through every page for the entertainment of the reader.
The love scenes are titillating - sexy, hot and erotic! For all those who enjoy a little heat in there reads, SEDUCE will have you hooked. ** Or maybe even Seduced **
New characters where introduced - A little teaser at the end for the next book ** Not sure that this comes with the Kindle version ** as I read this as an advance arc copy... But eagerly look forward to more in this series.
If you love erotic paranormal then the Vampirerotica series is for you, but I must warn readers you will never be able to stop at just one. You will be waiting for each book as they are published ;)

Heaton did it again. She owes me a package of batteries. (TMI I know) She really knows how to write a sex scene orgasmic experience. But her books aren’t porn. The smut has some real plot and heart to go with it, which I love.
Seduce is the third book in the VET series and in this one we get to see Antoine, the quite and very cold owner of the Vampirerotique theatre, get seduced by a young and shy vamp, Sera.
Sera is a "baby" in terms of the vampire world. But when she sets her mind to seducing the very old and sexy vamp that is always at the side of the stage during the shows at the theatre, she pulls out everything she has. But she knows it will be hard to grab Antoine attention since he is aristocrat (born vampire) and she is only an elite (human turned to vamp).
Antoine is more easily seduced by Sera than either would have thought, but he tries to stay away so he doesn't hurt her physically with the bloodlust that he thinks he will have, since his brother Snow has it. And he doesn't want to get hurt by Sera emotionally, since he has not been with a woman in a few centuries because of a past lost love.
The two work through their issues in some very HOT ways (handcuffs are present) plus there is some very tender and sweet moments along the way.
As always I really enjoyed Heaton's mix of smexy and plot and I can not wait to read Snow's (Antione's brother) story. But Heaton is making us wait for his story. Next up is Enslaved, which is about one of the new characters that we meet in Seduce, Andreu. Look for Enslaved on August 4th.
If you are wanting a quite, hot, vampire read you need to check out Seduce and the rest of VET series.
Felicity Heaton is bringing the hot men from her VET series to The Book Nympho during Stomp vs Romp on August 4th!
There might even be a giveaway!!!

Antoine has always been an all work, no play type of vampire. He and three others run Vampirerotique, a local theater that caters to vampire/human sexual interactions. He has always stayed far removed for everyone else, humans and vampires alike. His only concern is the well being of his brother, Snow, who had succumbed to the bloodlust. Given to bouts of intense rage and uncontrollable thirst, Antoine must keep him calm and sated. When Sera, an Elite vampire, sets her sights on the elusive Aristocrat vampire, she is determined to break through his shell. She hatches a plan to audition as a theater performing whereby she intends to seduce Antoine in the process. However, this game forces Antoine to give into feelings he had long since buried, and Sera to open her heart to a man that could burn her alive.
When secrets that are hidden in the dark come to light, will Sera be able to convince Antoine that she can handle his inner demons or will his fears force them apart forever?
This installlment of this series was by far the most erotic. The writing was so intense and indepth, that I felt the passion from these two characters. I felt like I was being held in a warm embrace that sizzled from the top of my head down to my toes. I love the characterization of each player in this series. They each are interesting in their own right and all bring a great story to the table. Antoine and Sera were the perfect lovers. She got him to open up to her and feel a passion for life again. These two spent so much time together without outside interference that they were able to develop this bond that was impenatrable. The storyline just keeps getting better and better. Ms. Heaton has created this erotic vampire theater that has some of the steamiest love scenes ever! I can't wait for the next installment.
P.S. I'm also hoping she gives Snow his story as I'm sure there is a female out there that can help slake his bloodlust.

This is the 3rd book in Felicity Heaton's Vampire Erotic Theatre series and I suggest you start at the beginning of the series before reading this one but you must read this series its extremely good. I've enjoyed all the books in this series but it seems to be getting better and better.
This book is about Sera and Antoine. Sera is a elite vampire which means she was made a vampire. She desires nothing more than Antoine himself after the first time she laid eyes on him and she will do anything to get his attention and when I say anything I mean anything. Antoine is a aristocrat which means he was born a vampire and is higher up in society than an elite. He is a very troubled person due to his past and is suffering from the beginnings of blood lust. For these reasons he has isolated himself for almost three centuries. Antoine refuses to even touch Sera in the very beginning because she is a elite and not a aristocrat so this affects their relationship development but Sera has been strongly attracted to Antoine for a long time trying to get his attention until she comes up with a plan and a sweet plan it is.
One of the things I really enjoyed about this book was that we really get in depth into Antoine's character and his past therefore strengthening my relationship to the characters in the series. I fell so in love with the characters in the series with this book that I wished it had been a full length novel instead but that is the only complaint I had. lol
I would highly recommend reading this series if your a paranormal romance fan. Felicity really out does herself here. This book is a erotica novel as well so expect some very graphic sex scenes. And once again I can't wait until the next book, "Enslave", comes out to see what happens next.
This book is about Sera and Antoine. Sera is a elite vampire which means she was made a vampire. She desires nothing more than Antoine himself after the first time she laid eyes on him and she will do anything to get his attention and when I say anything I mean anything. Antoine is a aristocrat which means he was born a vampire and is higher up in society than an elite. He is a very troubled person due to his past and is suffering from the beginnings of blood lust. For these reasons he has isolated himself for almost three centuries. Antoine refuses to even touch Sera in the very beginning because she is a elite and not a aristocrat so this affects their relationship development but Sera has been strongly attracted to Antoine for a long time trying to get his attention until she comes up with a plan and a sweet plan it is.

WOW! I'am feeling a little hot after reading this one! Antoine isn't who he seems to be, he is closed off from the world and people think he is just a typical aristocrat (Full blooded vampire, for who haven't read the previous books) but deep down he is troubled and restless and guess what? Sera is just the girl to change that!
This is the third book in Felicity Heaton’s Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series. Felicity Heaton has written a fantastic steamy book. That captures you from the beginning. I really loved the main characters and specially Sera. After reading a few lines about her I just couldn't let go and before I knew it a was encouraging Sera all the way when she was trying to seduce Antoine. Breaking his internal stone wall he had build around him. Brick by brick, kiss by kiss ... and a lot more :) It's not just the HOT sex scenes that makes it a great read but also the storyline, world building and returning of the main characters from the previous books from this great series and of course the vampires that makes this a book, ONE you have to ad on your TBR-list ... Pronto!
I really love this series. I am a fan of dark brooding alpha men that need to be fix. In Seduce you can also read a little about Antoine's brother Snow!. The next book Enslave will not be about Snow but Andreu. Felicity keeps the Snow-card in her pocket for now. There has to be a woman somewhere that can cure him of his bloodlust and turn the beast back in to a man. Can't wait!

Well tie me to the bed and call me Sera!! (Wait, did I just say that out loud???)
What an amazingly hot, steamy, intense, erotic, lustful read! Within the first few pages I was completely captured, wanting everything Sera wanted- to find out more about the dark and eluding Antoine. One would think that owning and running a vampire erotica theatre one would be a very sexually active being. Not so much for Antoine. Battling inner demons that could potentially put anyone around him at risk, he has shut the door to his humanity and thrown away the key. Sera is determined to break down his walls, even if that means becoming a performer in his live orgy shows.. Whatever it takes to be close to him.
Felicity Heaton takes us on an rollercoaster journey with her well thought out storyline and emotion fuelled sex that will "Seduce" you. Heaton had me wanting more and more, hanging on every word she wrote.
If it doesn't heat you to the depths of your core then there is something seriously wrong with you. The finger biting intensity of Sera and Antoine's chemistry is just HOT HOT HOT!
Now I haven't read the first two in the Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series, but after reading this I will definitely going back and reading them! I WANT MORE! I am relieved to announce that there will be a 4th one. Enslave.
So do yourself a favour and and get this book. Heck get the whole series! You will thank me later!

I got this book as part of the Dark and Dangerous, Six-in-One Hot Paranormal Romances Boxed Set.
5 Stars ~ Seduce (Vampire Erotic Theartre #3) by Felicity Heaton
Ever since I read the first book Covet by Felicity E. Heaton I was hooked into this series and looked forward to Antonie's story.
Heaton knows how to pull her audience into the Vampire Erotic Theatre world and she knows how to write a sex scene. The smut has a real plot and heart to go with it, which I love.
The interaction between Sear and Antione is sizzling and then freezing! Antione has some issues to work through and Sera is determined to help him through it. I loved how they connected and worked out their issues. There is some very tender and sweet moments along the way.
For Snow fans we get to see and learn more about him and Antione. My heart broke for them both and what has made them the vampire aristocrats that they are today. I can’t wait for Snows story.
Heaton also intradoses us to a couple of new male vamps. Callum and Javier’s brothers will be brought into the theater’s inner workings. I can’t wait to learn and see more of these two.
If you are wanting a hot vampire read you need to check out Seduce and the rest of Vampire Erotic Theatre.

ARC review!
Seduce is the third book in the Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series.
Even though this one is longer than the previous books, I felt as if it was much shorter. If you are looking for some action, Seduce is not for you. It's about the relationship between the hero and heroine. It's sensual and emotional. Antoine and his brother's - Snow - past and present make the story darker and sadder. It's not my favorite in the series, I wanted something bigger complication (like in Crave- a little bit more of exciting events). But I loved the info we got about the brothers's history.
And finally I know why Lilah can calm Snow down so easily... It has been eating me since the end of book one!!
Oh and one more thing... LOT OF SNOW!! That's right, Snow addicts. You definitely don't want to skip this book!
OVERALL: This book is a quick read with very very sexy and emotional scenes. And old vampire with a broken heart, horrific past and a crazy-for-blood brother gets seduced by a beautiful, seductive and lovely "baby" vampire. If You really want something smoking hot and steamy, forget Fifty Shades of Grey... the VET series will make you Fifty Shades of Red!
PS: Enslave (book four) is coming out August 4th 2012. It will be Andreu's book (Crap, I was hoping for Snow, but what the hell, the heroine will be a succubus so I say HELL YES!! BRING IT ON BABE!)

I really, really enjoy this series. The stories are the perfect length for a quick and sexy vampire fix - midday or late at night - and yet I never feel like we're shorted on character development.
This time around, we're given insight into Antoine and the darkness that both he and Snow battle. I'm not going to lie, when Snow's book rolls around I'll be jumping for joy. But this is Antoine's story and it's a good one. Antoine's tormented (which makes him a wonderfully delectable character) - he's scarred by a tragic event in his past, he's had his heart broken and he's nearly lost his brother to the bloodlust more times than he can count. Yet, Sera moves him. She unthaws him little by little until he's drowning in his feelings for her.
I absolutely loved every single Snow interaction - from his blood crazed side to the way he's calmed by a female to the weight that continually living puts on him. His relationship with Antoine was sad and perfect and I adored how quickly he saw that Sera was such a balm to Antoine's soul.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the newest players fit into the Vampirerotique world and waiting impatiently for the time when Snow's story rolls around.

This book is friggin awesome, the book's just keep getting hotter and more explosive by the book in this series, what a wonderful detailed account of every emotion,feeling and the love scene's are the hottest yet. With every detail in graphic you feel you are the one watching them as they discover each other's emotions, past live's and soul's as well as discovering each other's body in very graphic detail. I loved these character's and they fitted perfectly with each other, a strong female lead who not only dealt with Antoine and his heart wrenching tragic past but also his lush brother Snow and his unforgiving blood lust which Antoine himself must fight.
Again the theatre atmosphere and severally erotic show's again are well written and you will need more then one cold shower through out this book, Felicity holds nothing back and takes you deep into a world of sexual and powerful erotica that make's one blush more than once.
Absolutely loved this book and would extremely recommend it as well as any of Felicity's other stories, and I thought the next book Enslave tease was very naughty and I already am desperate for the next book.
Well done Felicity you truly are a girl of many word's and again another fabulous and enjoyable book, we your adoring fan's thank you greatly xxxx

Woop Woop, I loved it This book is all about Antoine and Sera and wow I have to say sooooo hot. Antoine isn't who he seems to be, he is closed off from the world and people think he is just a typical aristocrat but deep down he is troubled. He has a secret past and has all most lost his brother to blood lust more then once and being the way he is he only way he can deal with it.
Until Sera came along, she turned his whole world upside down and made him start feeling things he didn't want to feel. This is when things start heating up. and I mean they heat up. The sex scenes in this book are SOO!!! hot that they make your toes curl and belly flutter.
Just when you think a series cant get any better. Then BAM!! she does it again. Felicity brings out another amazing peace of work. I love this series. I love the dark feel to it and the brooding characters. when I read one of the books I think I think I have my favourite male but then I move on to the next and I'm brushed off my feet by another. If you like hot and steamy sex scenes and amazing romance then you really will like this series.

Another must read from Felicity! This series is getting hotter by the book and I can't wait for the next installment.
Antoine is the vampire part owner of Vampireerotique who appears to be cold and detached from life. Sera is a new vampire who has fallen from him from afar and is determined to make him notice her.
He is an aristocrat vampire and she is an elite and she is warned by her sire Elizabeth not to get involved with him as he is beyond attainable. But Sera has been wanting him for a year and is determined to make him hers. She decides the only way she can get is attention is if she auditions for the club.
But her audition is not the chat she thought it would be as she see's Antoine walk towards the stage with another vampire in tow...what will she do? Run away and hide like her shy side wants to or find the courage to seduce Antoine as she set out to do and not only take over his desires but also his heart??
Beautiful steamy read!

Yet another successful Felicity novel. Felicity has the tortured soul down pact so well, and what better characters to do it with than vampire brothers.
Antoine and Snow have a dark secret they keep inside and it's eating at them both. Over the last two books I have not felt anything for Antoine as he's pretty much been a closed book, coming across as a stuffy aristocrat. But in this novel we finally get to see inside his head and finally understand the whys of his fake outer exterior. Sera the saucey temptress amazingly manages to get this hard shelled male to come out and play and play he does.
I loved Antoine and Sera's story, but I have to admit my favourite parts of the book was not with just them. The minute Snow walked onto the scene my senses pricked up high and my attention was 100%. The man seems to have slowly sneaked into my heart over the three novels and quite literally dug his hooks in me.
A great erotic romance tale.

Oh Antoine, what a prize! We've seen Antoine around in book 1 and 2 and I have to say I never ever thought someone could break through his icy layer. But lucky for us Sera was up for the challange. After seeing Antoine at Vampirerotique she has lusted after him. Lucky for her, her sire has an in at the theater and gets Sera an audition in hopes of seducing Antoine. And wow wow wow did she give the performance of her life!
This story was smoking hot! One of the hottest. But there was a lot going on, and we got to see a lot more of my secret crush Snow!! I can't wait to see more of him. We also see why Antoine is the way he is. Ugh this hard without giving anything away. I do have some unfinished business with this story concerning a Miss Anya. I need to get some answers.
These books just keep getting better and better and the story gets hotter and hotter! These are must reads for anyone who loves a good ol' sexy time and of coarse vampires!!!
