Before reading this one I didn't really like Julie as a character. after getting her own story, she has definitely grown on me. I loved her confidence and her headstrong, independent personality. Her and Nathan made a great duo because they were both so stubborn that it actually worked really well. I enjoyed seeing the other couples so happy and I also liked the set up for Micah and for Connor. This one was spicy and the other two have been as well, but something about this one felt a bit more amped up to me. I'm so invested in this series and I thought this was really nice development for Julie and Nathan. I would have loved to see more of their relationship build, but I'm sure they'll make an appearance going forward. This one was fun for sure!

Sweet Seduction is really sexy hot seduction. Miss Banks putting a little bit twist on the character. Instead of having man whore as usual, this time, she puts Nathan as uncertain hero. He has confidence but his confidence seems to sizzle out when it came to Julie.
Julie on the other hand is a confident woman. Full of sexuality and self confident. She smart and fun. I think I like her the most out of all the heroines in this series. The BDSM is as usual hot and very visual in great detail. I am not expecting anything less from Miss Banks. She after all is well known for her BDSM erotica.
Overall, a great book.

Like all of her books I could not put this down. She is a master at developing complicated realationships and some amazing scrnes and visual imagery.

Julie and Nathan were not 'it' for me. I didn't feel their chemistry, sure they proclaimed their lust and love to each other throughout the story. Honestly, this story could have been shortened and the sex scenes didn't turn me on, which is essential when I'm reading an erotica. I ended up skipping a lot of boring parts and did not miss much.

Loved this one. Probably one of my favorites just because Julie reminds me of myself so much!

3,5 stars, maybe even 4 stars (in comparison to the previous two books at least)
So this book was so much better than the previous two and I really liked it. I loved the characters and I kind of liked the plot.
I loved the way their relationship starts and evolves. It was kind of different in a way and that is what I needed from this book.
I do own the next book in the series, but given what I think it will be about I don’t think that I will read it and end the series in a good way. Even though I kind of want to know what happens to the other characters. Time will show if I might pick up this series, but for now there are just way to many other books that I want to read instead…

This was pretty good if you're into erotica that doesn't have much footing in reality. What I mean is, it'll get your heart racing, no doubt about it. BUT some of the actions by the characters were a little too off base for me to fully buy in past the surface.
For example, I've never been to a massage parlor where the customer is completely naked. I know "happy endings" places exist and I'm not knocking them if that's what you're into but I didn't get that feel from the place where our female protagonist worked. And I'm pretty sure most men, no matter how attracted to their massage therapist they are, would simply lie there while she serviced them and not at least try to get off the table. Especially when they've been seemingly trying to keep their distance for months. Furthermore, the house where she goes for her fantasy? I would be beyond pissed with the switch that was made. Like call the police or stab someone pissed. Not, "oh, well, you admitted it and I did say anonymous so..." She might have been able to walk away not knowing who the 2 men were but they would always know and I feel like that's a bit unfair without her consent. I mean, they ran in the same circles and had the same friends!
HOWEVER, if you're the type of person that reads this genre more for the raciness than the plot, you'll love it. If you prefer your adult romances to be more realistic, I'd say pass on this one. It was fun, like I said, but that's about it. A fun distraction while I convalesced.

I LOVED this book. After reading all 6 books in the series, this is my favorite. Nathan is a super sexy alpha and Julie is a strong woman who cedes to Nathan's light dominance just enough. They were super hot together and although there wasn't much bdsm to speak of, it was just a good love story. I loved it the most when Nathan was bossy and Julie let him take care of her. Can't wait to continue to read about the other characters in this series that I've grown to love!
