I actually gave this 4.5 stars.This is the third book in the Vampirerotique series and just like the other two books Seduce can be read as a stand-alone.Seduce is about Antoine an aristocratic vampire (pure blood) and Sera a fairly young elite vampire. Antoine is one of the owners of Vampireotique who has shut down his emotions and refused to develop any form of relationship because he feared that the bloodlust that ran through his veins would one day take control of him. He has deep dark secrets that constantly haunt him and the only person that he holds dear to his heart is his brother Snow, and he intends for it to remain so. This, however was about to change when he met Sera.From the moment Sera laid eyes on Antoine she knew she wanted him and she is willing to pull out all the stops to achieve her goal. Despite the warnings she received from her sire that Antoine is someone to avoid she did not intend to give up on her goal. To this end she came up with the idea to audition for the theatre, even though this was not her type of thing. However, things did not go quite as planned. Antoine tried to fight what he was feeling for Sera but she was not about to let him get off so easily. He couldn’t fathom why he felt this way seeing that Sera is an elite and he was brought up to believe that elites were below him.Antoine’s love for his brother, Snow was unconditional. Their bond was so strong that they always seem to know when one is in need of the other. Antoine was not about to let anyone come between them. Sera is very caring and compassionate which made it easy for Antoine to open up to her and bare his soul to her. I liked how she was very accepting of Antoine’s love for his brother. The connection between these two was strong and I so enjoyed the interaction between them. It was so hot and passionate. I really enjoyed this installment in the series and so far it’s my favourite. This is a story of love, forgiveness and healing. It depicts how letting go of the pain of the past will allow one to move and be able to live life to the fullest.If you are looking for a hot paranormal story with heart then I highly recommend this title. Seduce is the third book in the Vampirerotique series and whoa! It definitely packs a punch. Here we get a closer look at Antoine, who we all know is Snow’s brother, and Sera, a relatively new vampire who definitely has a thing for Antoine. “For the first time in three centuries, he needed to surrender a fraction of control so he could lose himself in this woman.”Ok, I’m going to start with Antoine, because it is no secret how much I love my leading men. Antoine is very old, and he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. He’s tasked himself with “curing” snow, and is his watcher and protector. Seeing as Snow can fly out of control with no warning, this is quite a big task. Antoine has not left himself room in his life for anything but the theatre and Snow. I feel badly for this man who appears to be so cold and detached. But as they say, it only takes the love of a good woman to change a man forever. I think Antoine is one of my favorites out of this series, just because he has closed himself off to such a degree that when Sera comes along, he is helpless to fall for her. And who wouldn’t? The woman is superb. And Sera… she auditions for a spot in the show just so she can get closer to Antoine. Her sire, Elizabeth, thinks it’s a foolish idea, but coaches her anyway. Sera is deliciously creative, both in her determination to get near Antoine, and after they pair up. I love this woman!!! She is fun and intelligent, and she does not give up – ever. Not on Antoine, not on others (who shall remain nameless to prevent spoilers). Her audition sparks something in Antoine that he never expected – desire. And let me tell you, that desire was white hot sexy. I love that Sera is strong and confident outwardly, even when she feels the opposite inwardly. I believe that is what true courage is. She sees what she wants, and she goes after it. And a little bit about Snow… we all love him. I wear a bracelet I got from Felicity daily proclaiming I will happily be a donor for Snow. He does not disappoint in this story, and I love how we get to learn a little bit more about him little by little. There is so much more than meets the eye, this man has hidden depths we can’t even grasp yet. He was nearly a show stealer in this book, and my heart goes out to him multiple times. His book is coming up, so I am anxiously waiting for that. My final thoughts on this story? It was excellent. The writing was terrific with a nice flow. It grabbed me right away and didn’t let go until the very end. I did feel a little bit rushed at the end with the appearance of another character. Their introduction was a bit glossed over. I wonder if this is because they will be featured later? I don’t know. But the book is hot. There are some kinky elements in this one that will set you on fire in all the good ways. Sera and Antoine are a couple that I’d love to read about even more in the future.
