Alec Monro is stuck in a loveless marriage. Zelda is
a sensuous "flame-haired" beauty who does not hide
her sexuality. There is an instant attraction, the two
exchange heated glances within the first couple of chapters
that transforms into a hot, steamy love affair.
Alec is always trying to hide his caring, compassionate
exterior under a cool facade; Zelda hopes she is the woman
to bring out those qualities. The two spend many weeks
together-weeks Alec did not anticipate as he rarely spends
times around his paramours. The only obstacle to Alec's
bliss? His wife. The reader may be horrified that Alex is
cheating so blatantly on his wife, but his wife is
portrayed as the type who fools around on Alec and does not
care for her son-a son whose paternity is debateable.
SEDUCTIVE AS FLAME is steamy and fast-paced, an overall
great read for any romance reader. Be sure to have an iced
drink near by as you read to keep you cool.
It was common gossip that there wasn't a woman alive safe
from the seductive skills of Alec Monro, Earl of Dalgliesh.
On the other hand, there wasn't a woman alive who didn't
secretly covet a dalliance with the audacious, disreputable,
dangerously exciting lover. After all, he was as handsome
as a god, and his endowments were as legendary as his sexual
stamina. That he was immeasurably wealthy only added to his
charm.
Zelda MacKenzie, a magnificent, flame-haired Scottish
beauty, inspired whispers of her own. She was rumored to be
a witch--if only for the curious native jewels and unusual
garb she'd brought home from her orchid-hunting expedition
to Brazil. That's not to say she wasn't bewitching. On the
contrary..
But Zelda made it quite clear to the earl that she had no
interest in libertines.
