Tristan Kingsley and Kat Roberts are stunned beyond words
when their respective mother and father announce their
surprise engagement. Tristan and Kat only became lovers two
weeks before, and soon they will be step-siblings! Of
course, their parents know nothing of this; Tristan and Kat
haven't said a word, and needles to say, it's definitely
not
the right time to confess. Mrs. Kingsley and Mr. Roberts
are
finally happy after having both gone through disastrous
marriages. Besides, Tristan still has to answer to his
dictatorial father, the Earl of Pembroke.
Kat knows she must
stop seeing Tristan, especially since she finds herself
very
close to falling in love with him. But she and Tristan are
stuck with each other for three weeks during the Christmas
Holidays, and Mrs. Kingsley inadvertently does not help
matters when she tries to convince Tristan and Kat they
should get to know each other better! Kat really struggles
because she is falling in love with
Tristan, and she doesn't want to experience the same
heartbreak as her father when her mother left them.
Ms.
Smith portrays beautifully the anguish and the conflicts
the
young lovers go through; it never felt contrived. The
parents' stories and Tristan's and Kat's are so carefully
written, they irrevocably intersect, and the children's
wish
for their parents' happiness all make for captivating
reading, and a whole lot of torment. Tristan and Kat go to
Harrods and the Kew Gardens, and those magical moments are
a
special treat. The descriptions are so vivid, I felt I
was right there along with them.
There is a mild cliffhanger at the end of the first book,
FORBIDDEN, but there are a couple of doozies at the end of
SEDUCTION! Stay tuned because you will not want to miss
CLIMAX; things might go very, very wrong for our young
lovers!
Tristan is a man who knows what he wants. And he wants Kat
in his bed. All he has to do is convince her they belong
together . . .
Kat knows the connection she and Tristan share is special.
Her British bad boy is too much of everything: too hot, too
arrogant, too irresistible to stay away from. He's her
addiction and one night with him isn't enough.
That's what hurts the most. They can't date, can't be a
normal couple, not when their parents are getting married.
Because now that she knows he's going to be her stepbrother,
no one can ever find out what they've done . . .
