Immortal Seduction
Cassandra Wyvern wants to be seduced. Her uncouth partner, Simeon Danton, has made it obvious that he's only with her until someone better comes along. Her friend suggests manifesting such a man, neither realising that she was about to visit an apothecary shop hidden deep in ancient woodland on the England/Wales border or that its owner, the occultist Lucius d'Orléans - a man born in the 11th century - was about to enter her life.
Strangely drawn to Lucius, he tells her that they have been lovers twice before - first when she was a courtesan in 18th century Paris; then again in 1890, when she was murdered by her jealous husband after he found out about their affair. Lucius has since spent more than a century waiting for her. Smitten with Lucius, when she visits him again his derelict and overgrown shop appears new, as she has slipped through time and is now in the year 1891, a year after her previous incarnation was murdered. Her returning to Lucius has made him appear youthful again, and soon they resume their passionate and uninhibited sex life.
But Simeon Danton has followed her and has vowed to win her back, even it kills him - and strange things happen when a man dies an unnatural death a century before he was born.

About the author
Adam Nicke
5 books71 followersAdam Nicke was born and raised in South Wales and has resided in the small border town of Chepstow since he was a teenager.
He graduated from the University of the West of England in 1995 with a BA (Hons) in Literary Studies, the same year the first edition of his Grim Fairy Tales was published.
Fate took a nasty turn in the following years until finally, in 2015, Adam Nicke collapsed with what was subsequently diagnosed as a tennis ball-sized brain tumour. Mary Shelley died of a brain tumour and new research has posited that Edgar Allan Poe may have died of one.
His Grim Fairy Tales is a collection of short stories, ten haunting tales of the ghostly, decadent, and supernatural. This is how the poet Paul Verlaine defined decadence after critics used the term disparagingly to describe the Symbolist school of writers:
His Temptation and Denial is set in the Georgian era and is a ghostly tale of immortal love, a love that transcends physical death; the character of Sebastian in this work is very much a Byronic Hero, inspired by Lord Macauley's description of such a protagonist:
His Mallard the Quack is an anarchic comedy set in an 18th-century quack doctors' practice in Wales and has topped Goodreads' list of anti-Trump books for over two years! Mallard the Quack plunges the reader into the world of fairground sideshows, resurrectionists, quack doctors, medieval superstitions … and haunted furniture!
His Immortal Seduction is a steamy, supernatural tale of love, lust, reincarnation, immortality, time slips back to the year 1891, and passionate encounters in the seemingly abandoned woodland apothecary shop of the immortal occultist Lucius d'Orléans. Suitable for broad-minded adults only.

"I love this word decadence, all shimmering in purple and gold. It suggests the subtle thoughts of ultimate civilization, a high literary culture, a soul capable of intense pleasures. It throws off bursts of fire and the sparkle of precious stones. It is redolent of the rouge of courtesans, the games of the circus, the panting of the gladiators, the spring of wild beasts, the consuming in flames of races exhausted by their capacity for sensation, as the tramp of an invading army sounds". - Paul Verlaine

“… a man proud, moody, cynical, with defiance on his brow, and misery in his heart, a scorner of his kind, implacable in revenge, yet capable of deep and strong affection.”

My review is on my website www.bookread2day.wordpress.com
This book is published by Adam Nicke, alone, that makes this book one big achievement to admire.
Adam Nicke is an extremely talented author who spins a tale like no other author I have known, that includes steamy hot romance that takes place during lockdown, that collide with a magical time travel and death.
Without really knowing each other well, Cassandra Wyvern does the most extraordinary thing, she gives up her place and moves in with Simeon during lockdown. All Cassandra desperately wants is for her partner Simeon to seduce her in a hot sexy fashion.
The author likes piling on surprises. Everyone has secrets and Cassandra also one big one, she likes her friend Anna too where they both have hot saucy passionate sex together.
I didn’t have any respect for Cassandra’s partner Simeon Danton, he only wants Cassandra until he finds another woman. He’s a bossy man, who speaks to Cassandra as he pleases.
When Simeon has had enough of Cassandra he orders Cassandra to leave his place for good. But I really was hoping that Simeon would change his mind and love Cassandra for ever, and they would live together happy ever after.
Little did Cassandra know that she would meet an occultist Lucius d’Orleans who used to run a shop, that was born in the 11th century and she steps back in times to eighteen ninety one, leaving her old life from her partner and Anna behind her.
Cassandra has a shock when Lucius tells her they were together twice before in the 18th century. And in the past she was murdered.
I do love the happy ever after, so how I thought it would end it didn’t happen, for Cassandra and Simeon, but the ending did give me a big surprise that I didn’t see coming. This is totally my kind of book that kept me guessing what’s going to happen next.
My eyes flicked wide open at the last chapter, being taken by surprise at the final ending that I just didn’t see appearing.
My final thoughts, I do hope Adam Nicke will write another hot romance novel.
I absolutely recommend Immortal Seduction as it’s writing is sexy, fresh, totally unique that’s easy to imagine the atmosphere in every chapter, and has a brilliant twist throughout, that readers will love.

Adam Nicke, I think, someone has to figure a new genre to slot this book into 😹 😹 😹. Jokes apart, the author has worked wonders in creating a fantasy/time-travel erotic love story with such rich historical details that it was easy to be transported to the 1890s.
Cassandra has moved lock stock and barrel to Wales with Simeon where her friend Anna also resides. The lockdown and the pandemic have not helped matters as Cassandra realizes her predicament of being stuck with an exhausting partner with no escape in sight. The story then takes the reader on a journey as Cassandra discovers an apothecary hidden in the woods and a magical interlude begins.
The sexual scenes are hot and sizzling but what excited me more was the enriching history that the author wove thru the story. The detail about the Rose-Croix brotherhood was utterly fascinating, it is the first time that I was reading about it and I kept googling the subject to know more about the history of Rosicrucianism and its order. Cassandra is made aware of her various pasts entwined with the enigmatic Lucius d'Orléans and Adam Nicke uses his excellent skills in narrating a story that brings the era of the place alive.
There’s an element of mystery with the presence of the abusive Simeon and his identity in the past that keeps the reader engrossed in turning the pages at an alarming pace. Equally interesting was the ending with a surprising twist that leaves the reader ambiguous about the truth of the story.
Entertaining and spicy☂️☂️☂️☂️

Wow, I sat down to read a chapter or 2 and ended up finishing this book in one afternoon! I was so invested in the characters and their love for one another I simply had to know what was next for them, a very romantic story with time travel and a touch of fear. I really hope Adam Nicke makes a sequel to this book!

June 16, 2022I absolutely loved this book. It was one of those that once started you just couldn't put down. The storyline was one that sucked you right it. It is an erotic book but not one that detracted from the rest of the story. The ending was a real twist!
I loved both of the main characters and wished I was there with them!
Fab book all round for me.

Fascinating book!! I am always drawn to stories that have an element of time travel into the past and this book does not disappoint.
I do hope that Mr Nicke continues to create tales of such fancy, I rather felt as though I was traveling back into the past myself!
Well done you, Mr Nicke!👍🏻👏🏻

I couldn't put it down! I wanted to keep reading. I like the twist at the, but I felt sad for her friend though. It makes me wonder if reincarnation is possible and whether the people that come into our lives you've met them in another life. A bit like when a random dog sees you and gets really excited to see you.

Brilliantly written story of timeless love, romance and intrigue. Adam Nicke has become on of my favorite authors. Immortal Seduction was so intense at times that I was on the edge of my seat ! One of my favorite things about Adam's writing is that he adds a bit of history to his stories. The descriptions of the locations in the book are so detailed that you can actually visualize them in your mind. The main characters are wonderful and charismatic and the villain is obnoxious and easy to intensely dislike. Immortal Seduction is a real page turner that leaves you breathless and longing for more! This book is so intensely good that I was reading every chance I got. When I reached the end I was left wanting more ! I cannot wait for future books from this most talented writer. Excellent read !

I started this book, and finished it in less than 2 days! It has everything anyone can want in a book. Murder, desire, lust, HOT sex scenes, and best of all....LOVE. A love that endures time, and death, and still stands strong. Once you start reading it, you won't want to put it down! Adam Niche has most definitely outdone himself! The part I loved most was the time travel. But Cassandra was never afraid, which told me she already believed in magic!

Well written and kept your interest. Would love to see more of their past lives together. Could do with a few less sex scenes. Worth the read

I love the authors writing style and the twist at the end. I thought I knew the ending, but nope. Great story.

Adam Nicke does it again. This author has a humble and unique talent for enveloping the reader into his stories and taking you along on the journey as though you are actually there. Such is his descriptive narrative. In his Immortal Seduction, love is shown in differing relationship dynamics. You may relate to one or all of them. The basis of this beautiful story is a love that defies time, bringing with it interesting historical facts. With some very steamy scenes and surprising twists, you have a fantastic book that you won't want to put down once you start.

I discovered Adam Nicke on Facebook a few weeks ago. His posts were very interesting and I purchased one of his books, " Immortal Seduction. A time slip story that I could hardly put down. It is a story of a young women in an emotionally abusive relationship who slips through time and finds what she is looking for. A very steamy piece of erotica, not for children .But as a woman, I enjoyed every bit of it. 👍
November 7, 2023
I picked up this book to read a chapter or two before going to bed and couldn't put it down till my eyelids got the better of me. Finished it early the next day! Adam Nicke brings Immortal Seduction to the table with time travel between the 21st century and 1891. This novel has it all. Eroticism, love, mystery, murder, jealousy and hope all intertwined; beginning in a pandemic lock down in a small town in Wales. Keep your mind open and enjoy a tale with a twist you won't see coming.
June 14, 2023
This was my second book from Mr. Nicke Was a tad bit graphic I wish I had some warning but I am glad I didn't stop reading it after the first 2 chapters. I suppose by the title I should of had a little idea of the steamy parts but being an adult I read on. Time travel, Love story and a wonderful twist at the end. Happy I read on to the end. I very much enjoyed his writing.
January 26, 2024
This excellent book by Adam Nicke has been on my bucket list and it lived up to its name.A great read that will want you not to put down.A tale of historical love and lust that takes you from the present day to the past and back again.Cleverly written with a connection to a beautiful part of the country and plenty of spice.One book i could definatly read again!

For a long time I haven't read a book like this ... means "Feet up- cup of tea-phone silence". It felt like a little holiday and I really enjoyed it.
A wonderful love story, placed in different time periods and two main characters you want all the best for straight from the first pages.
