"Full House Seduction" by A.C. Arthur is another sweet and SENSUAL treat...I love this series...now that she's paired off Trent Donovan (in Defying Desire), the last of The Triple Threat Brothers...she's matchmaking with the rest of their circle of family and friends...the Donovan cousins, the Desdunes, the Bennetts, and the Lakefields...and I can't wait to read about the next friend/family member that will FINALLY fall in love...Noelle Vincent and Brock Remington's story is TOUCHING tale...they both have issues that they are trying to change or deal with...and after their first HOT, SPICY and extremely INTENSE intimate encounter Noelle decides they should just have a strictly business relationship...poor Noelle doesn't want to fall back into her "old ways" of choosing the wrong man and giving her all and then end up with a broken heart and nothing else to show for it...and Brock is determined NEVER to fall in love due to the tragedy that his mother and father suffer through, even though they loved each other deeply...so because of the trauma he endures as a young boy he REFUSES to ever open his heart to love and struggles to let go of his tragic past...despite their efforts to remain professional...it seems their fate is sealed...and once they start opening up and sharing their "dark" secrets, they discover they are a PERFECT pair.
I like the Donovans, and that's the one reason I keep reading these. Ms. Arthur keeps telling rather than showing the scenes in the book. She tells how people feel instead of describing the actions to do that work. Her descriptions of the scenery and outfits which also create the essence of the story are telling rather than showing. I didn't like the initial encounter between Brock and Noelle but I was glad Noelletook a step back and Brock proceeded to get himself together. 3.5 stars.
This was a great story. Noelle strived to put her past behind her as Brock attempted to do the same. Both had a lot to over come while trying to keep their attraction for one another at bay. This book had some great moments along with a bit of comedy. I loved every moment of it.
I first discovered her works via a paranormal series. From then on I have been hooked on her books. She has a touch to her works that even have me involved with 💘 the Donovans and anything else she writes. You cannot go wrong reading her works.
Man oh man!! I'm new to this writers books but am I loving it!!! Amazing writing none of that redundancy although sometimes, I'm think the character needs to get a clue. But I guess that's why the books are so great.
The two characters were healing for each other, just what was needed in their growth. I was a fan of the author's work since the introduction, "Sing Your Pleasure" of the "Love in the Limelight" series.
Enjoyed ever minute of it.Like how the two of them Brock and Noella both had scar's that they concealed from there family. How their attraction for each other was instance.
Noelle was giving everyone the business. I liked that she didn’t appear fragile after everything that happened. I’m glad that Brock went to see him mom
I am truly a fan of Ms. Arthur's books, but I especially like the Dovovan series. Brock Remington is the adoptive cousin of the Dovovan clan and Noelle is Jade's (Linc's wife) sister. They are thrown together because Brock is the contractor building the new Gramercy Casino II and Grace has been sent by Linc to be the site manager. From their first meeting the chemistry between Noelle and Brock is sizzling HOT HOT HOT!! Noelle has broken off her relationship with her cheating married boyfriend and has vowed to not to jump so quickly into a physical relationship with man. She promised herself that her next relationship will have real potential. Brock has his own issues of not feeling like he belongs and he doesn't want to become involved in a relationship. All of his encounters with women are physical. He doesn't want to become emotionally involved, but that changes when he and Noelle end up sharing space. Despite Linc's warning Brock is unable to resist the pull of emotion that Noelle brings out in him. Noelle doesn't want a physical relationship with Brock, since she knows he is not the settling down type of guy. She can't help the needs she feels inside her to help him deal with his issues. When the pass rears his ugly head, Brock discovers he wants much more than a physical relationship with Noelle. The problem is convincing her to give him a chance. I truly truly loved this installment of the Dovovan's and anxiously await the next one!!
Having discovered this series only recently, I am enjoying reading all the books back to back and not having to wait for installments. In the first two books Noelle was Jade's wild sister that started the downfall of the Triple Threat Donovans with her gambling debt. By the third book she had grown into a responsible person. Now we see her fully develop and help tortured Brock heal from his horrible childhood.
Noelle Vincent goes to Maryland to work with Brock Remington to open a new casino owned by her brother in law. This is one in a series of books. It would be easier to keep the cast of characters straight if I had read the books in order.
I did enjoy the book and even though it was predictable that they would end up together I am grateful that Noelle was able to save herself instead of one of the Donovan men. I do wish A.C. gave her something heavier to knock Luther out with though. :)
