[...] book. First of all, I didn’t really like the excerpt I read in the end of the previous book, Sweet Seduction (which I did love). Second, I’m really not into the whole pain/BDSM thing that Micah and [...]

I LOVED this story. I had read the other two “Sweet” books and this was my favorite. The fact that Nathan didn’t want to share Julie but did so because it was her fantasy and better him than some shmuck…that’s a real man. My kind of man at least. You were right in that they were just a couple that should be together. They didn’t have any huge emotional obsticles to get over. They just needed to get a clue. Thanks for the informative review.

I know. So many people are pumped for Micah, now that this book it out, since this one was so heavy on him. I have stared to see some of the advanced discriptions of the book being released and I wonder how soon Maya will post an excerpt on her blog. I see you pointed that the end, maybe, did’t finish off Nathan and Julie as much as it went into Micah. However, MB always says that she carries over with the previous couple or in this case couples in the next book, and she has said that she does that with Nathan and Julie in Micah’s, so I am good with that. The new teaser is saying that Micah’s is a book about secrets and surrender. Secrets, yes, but who is the one who is going to surrender? As of right now, I am not sure if it is going to be Angelina; I think that it just might be Micah. So much yummy backstory in this book; that is what I am interested in. Micah is so hot; it will be good for him to be the lead this time around. The man has been the 3rd wheel in two different menages so lets see if he is the one in charge this time around!!!

SP is without a doubt the hottest book I have ever read! Please read it; you will not be disappointed. That was the first one of MB’s that I read. Then I found out it was the 2nd one and I read Sweet Surrender (Gray and Faith). Another hot read; the G/F/M menage that the of that book is one of hottest things that I have ever read. I am so happy I have discovered this wonderful series. I won an ARC of Sweet Suduction from Maya directy at the end of August. I read it over Labor Day weekend and what a great book!! The are so perfect for one another and all their chasing is great; plus we get couple up on what the other two couples are doing. Also, this book is very heavy on Micah; he is everywhere and she sets up his book well. We are introducted to his lady, Angelina, and get some of that backstory. April 2010 is gonna rock! Great Review, Limecello!! I enjoyed it.

lol uh oh, pressure’s on :X hopefully you like this book, Tabitha! Or at least… the threesome[s] doesn’t detract from the book too much in your opinion

Okay since we feel the same on Sweet Persuasion I will give Sweet Seduction a try. You’ve never failed me before with a rec.

Tabitha – yup, that’s the one! I try to keep an open mind too – but certain kinks… just not for me. Agreed.

Sweet Persuasion is where the heroine is all submissive, right? If so, that’s one book I don’t think I’ll ever touch. I was all for reading it — trying something new — but I read of one scene where the hero had the heroine walk around naked in front of his guests. Ugh, total turn off.

Yay! *high fives* ShellBell! I totally prefer this book to Sweet Persuasion (and Sweet Surrender too…) *shh*

Thoroughly enjoyed Sweet Seduction – Maya Banks is one of my favourite authors and I’ve never been disappointed by any of her book. Definitely preferred Sweet Seduction to Sweet Persuasion, which I enjoyed but ultimately it just really wasn’t my cup of tea.

Tabitha – lol, well, it *is* still a menage- and I’ve said I have nothing against them. [Don't get other things like BDSM or whips, etc.] – so, I’d say skim through it maybe at the bookstore and decide? But – yes, I liked it and think that Sweet Seduction the menages weren’t just gratuitous sex – there were a lot of emotions involved and it helped drive the plot.

[And... now you're going to think I'm all deviant and pervy ]

Oh hey, thanks for letting me know. I’ve never read menages story, it’s just the thought of it that doesn’t appeal to me but..hmm, you really like this huh? We’ll see when I visit bookstore this weekend, lol!

Managed to get the book from ereader.com, so guess what I’ll be reading this weekend!

ShellBell – sad, I hate the idiotic things and restrictions they put on ebooks. Hopefully your library gets it soon – do they happen to have a “suggest an item” program? I know a number of libraries here have that, or an inter library loan where you can get the book you want from another library and they’ll transfer the book to your [branch]… anyway – I hope you do get to read Sweet Seduction. I really liked it.

I can’t wait to read this but alas the dreaded ‘geographical restrictions’ prevent me from purchasing the eBook and it isn’t available from my local library. Particularly disappointing as Maya Banks is one of my favourite authors. One day maybe!

JenB – uh NO, duh! Learn to READ ok?!?!

Tabitha – Oh dear – yes, there is a menage. So… sad – I don’t want you to read something you won’t like (and m/f/m pairings don’t bother me) – but I think Ms. Banks does a great job with this one – because it’s not what Nathan wants, but what Julie does, and it really messed with Nathan’s head and he’s all “wtf am i doing?!” And/but he does it because she wants it and he’d rather it be him and someone he trusts than… strangers. (So basically, there’s a very nice emotional angle and it’s not just… pr0n.)

But… yeah. Two menage scenes. [You could skip over them?] Or, you know, no pressure. Haha. I just really liked this book. And want others to like it too.

Hmm, is there a threesome scene in here? In the excerpt, Julia went to Damon’s club for a fantasy night with two guys..did she get her wish? I’m not into reading the menages so your answer will help, thanks!

Hi Karen,
*high fives* Glad you agree.

I think I’m also so excited about this book in general because of what “isn’t” there. The heroine wasn’t raped or abused in the past. God, YES!!!
