Sweet Seduction by Maya Banks

Way to go me! This review was supposed to post a while ago but it never did. This is the third book in the Sweet series by Banks and I do have the second book reviewed. I have finally found the first book! I got it from my local used book store and snatched it up, so when I can I will be reading and reviewing that. Will I be reading the rest of the series? I don't know yet. I'll get into that later. I do have a video review coming soon so watch out for that link. Here's the video!



Julie had eyes for one guy but it seemed like he was more infatuated with ignoring her. She loved the fact that she was able to get paid for oiling him up and rubbing him down. When you are a salon owner there are some perks. Giving Nathan his last rub down with a little extra thrown in, she plans to move on. Thing is Nathan wasn't oblivious to Julie, it was the exact opposite. When he finds out she is going to let someone else to fulfil her fantasies, he decides to put a stop to that and nail her down. Now there is just trying to figure out how to do that.

Here is yet another book that made me laugh, I am not complaining either. I really needed the laughs. I got a sneak peak at what the first book held, and some of the things that went down. Though very little is recapped and little is spoiled. So a person could read the books by themselves and be fine. Julie made me laugh the most, while Faith and Nathan are tied for second. I did very much like the hints as to the next book. The three main girls are done now and it has to continue with someone and Banks was sure to shed some light on who it is. The ending didn't annoy me but I did have a problem with it.

I didn't like that it was "guy gets the girl, the end." I am extremely happy that they didn't break up and then get back together like I ranted in Sweet Persuasion. Still, guy gets the girl, done. This book wasn't anything crazy special. I liked it because it made me laugh, but I don't see myself wanting to reread it over and over. There were a few parts I wanted to skip because it was a bit dull but the whole book can't be crazy from start to finish, right? I don't know if I want to continue the series because it seems that it's the same story, just different characters and change a few things. That doesn't keep me interested.

This is not something I would recommend for a younger audience. There is sex from beginning to end, it is intertwined in the story. If that upsets you, this isn't for you. It is by no means a bad book I did enjoy it quite a bit, but like I said before, I don't see that I will be reaching for it anytime in the future. As for owning it, I know where I can get it for a steal of a price I might get it the next time I am there.
