I was thrilled with another Three Worlds novel. I really
enjoyed the first one and thought that this second book
about Ender would be wonderful. In the first book, Seduce
Me in Dreams, Ender was a bit of a mystery besides his
explosive nature. Here in SEDUCE ME IN FLAMES we get to see
a side of Ender, whose true name is Rush, that I never saw
coming. This mysterious carefree guy has suddenly come full
turn and we get to see a charming, sensitive, and insecure
side that he has never had. I loved it! Action packed,
full of adventure, and virtually steaming romance SEDUCE ME
IN FLAMES was a story like no other. You, Ms. Frank, have
seduced me into the Three Worlds.
The story line is about Ambrea Vas Allay, the disinherited
empress of Allay. Having survived years of betrayal,
heartache, and a life that a Princess should never have had
Ambrea and her Uncle are all that is left of this powerful
family. Learning at an early age that nothing comes easy,
Ambrea was not surprised to be locked in the wet rooms and
virtually left to rot. Having a champion to lead her to
safety is just the first step in taking her throne back.
Ambrea was exceptionally well written. I loved her strength
and determination to make more of her world than her father
before her had. The struggles that came with it were no
surprise, in a court there are vipers waiting around every
corner and Ambrea was not immune to them. The people of
Allay have learned to be distrustful and placing their
future into the hands of a woman was a difficult thing,
especially when the Empress is hounded by a Tarian.
Retaining her champion, Ender, or Rush as he has asked her
to call him, for her personal body guard was not an option.
In order to survive in Allay Ambrea needed to use every
resource she had available. Can she survive her enemies
long enough to lose her heart?
As a member of the Interplanetary Militia, Rush has kept
his true self hidden since he was a child. The unnatural
things that he can do and has survived through are no
laughing matter. The rescue of one Empress should have gone
off without a hitch, but when Rush is forced to expose
himself he knows that his fate truly lies within Ambrea's
hands. Protecting her is not going to be a problem, but
protecting his heart from her has become the biggest
challenge of his life.
I thought that Rush's insecurities only made him a better
character. No man is perfect and each has his own personal
drama to overcome before taking the next step in their
lives. For Rush this drama was his abilities that he had
been taught to keep hidden. Opening himself up to Ambrea
and learning to trust his team with his life was the step
that had to be complete to complete him.
Ambrea Vas Allay is the rightful heir to the throne of
Allay. But when she is summoned home from exile, she
discovers that her father, who had executed her mother, has
died. Her young half-brother, controlled by their uncle, has
taken power. Ambrea is torn by an impossible choice:
renounce the crown or waste away in prison. The last thing
she expects is to be liberated by a huge, tattooed Tarian—or
to feel a searing passion for her mysterious rescuer.
SMOLDERING DECEPTION
Rush “Ender” Blakely loves being part of the elite force of
the Interplanetary Militia and the mission to save the
princess Allay. But the tough Tarian hides a fiery secret—a
blazing power that makes him literally too hot to handle. He
must be crazy to carry a torch for this strong, beautiful
princess—when any intimacy between them is bound to be
explosive.
BLAZING INSURRECTION
As Ambrea steels herself to take back the throne, does she
dare entrust this scorching stranger with the fate of an
empire—and, even more so, with her heart?
