"Wonderful Regency romance by gifted author."

Catherine Reynolds' sister, Victoria, has one job to do and she's determined to do it right. That job is to see that her sister makes an acceptable match during her first Season in London. But what Victoria doesn't know is that Catherine hasn't come to London in search of a husband, she's come in search of her father - her real father. While reading her mother's journal, Catherine comes to know her mother's deepest secret - the man she married was not the father of the child she was carrying, and that child was Catherine.

Meeting in Hyde Park (by very unusual circumstance, I might add) one fateful morning, John Wickenham-Thickenham-Fine, the Fifth Earl of Charwin, has his horse stolen, right out from under him, by the lovely and very determined Catherine Reynolds (although Catherine claims the horse was only "borrowed"). John Charwin, a rake, a rogue and a rascal of the first order, is angry, dumbfounded and immediately besotted. He can hardly believe what's transpired, and the tabloids are having a field day with this embarrassing happenstance. John finds himself yearning to see Catherine again and again, which is a highly unusual occurrence. She has the face of an angel, the tongue of a shrew and the heart of a thief. She's outspoken, bold...and refreshing. For the first time in his life, John is completely and utterly bewitched by a woman.

Catherine grew up in the country, so the stuffiness of London society is not important to her. John makes all her senses come alive and awakens feelings she's never experiences before. She shows no fear and their passion ignites. John also agrees to help her find her father.

A HINT OF SEDUCTION is pure delight. It's a lighthearted romp through London society following the escapades of the ton and first-time love. This story is so much fun to read, it will keep you entertained until the last page is turned. Treat yourself to this pleasurable, captivating story. You'll find yourself as besotted with this story as John is with Catherine. What fun - pure reading enjoyment!
