Seducing the Enemy

I love it when I find a good romance. LOVE IT.

This one had me laughing from the very beginning – but in such a good way.

I was having a terrible, terrible day but then I picked up Seducing the Enemy.

Best. Decision. Ever.

It was funny. It was sweet. It was steamy. This is the best kind of romance read (when you're not looking for a bodice-ripping cowboy, that is).

Etta was a strong, confident woman who, despite her past and limitations, knew what she wanted and went after it. She was polite, but not meek. She was kind, but not submissive. She was the kind of female protagonist that you rarely see in a romance novel (And to top it off – she was a virgin too. The kind of virgin who isn't shy about her body or worried about “doing it wrong” – she just wanted to enjoy herself. Say whaaa?)

Harry was of the more predictable sort. Wealthy, attractive, and temperamental – he reacted first and asked questions later. In fact, it was his temper that gave the book a plot at all! But watching the two interact was fun. Etta put him in his place often and you could tell he just wasn't used to that. The chemistry between them absolutely leapt off the pages; it sizzled.

I am looking forward to reading more from Noelle Adams if this is the kind of romance to be expected. There wasn't anything about the story that I didn't like or enjoy, and in fact – I'll even read it again. I can see Etta and Harry becoming one of my new favorite couples.
