This book was amazing like all of Noelle's books.Etta was in an accident at the age of 10 that left her without a sister and in a wheelchair for most of her life. Now able to walk again she wants to live but is scared and has panic attacks. Harrison is loyal to his family name and is always taking on all the responsibilities for the family and the guilt. When they meet at a club its like they are drawn towards each other. Unknown to either of them at the time, their families have been in a legal battle for years. Will the legal issues get worked out? Will Harrison and Etta find a HEA? Read the book to find out. This book had me sad, mad and a lot of the times laughing. It was well written and you just immediately connected with the characters Rating: 4.5 StarsHarrison is a workaholic but sometimes work is not everything. Life is so precious that everyone needs to enjoy it because you just don’t know what could happen. One day your life is there then the next it might be gone. When I started reading this story it was actually captivating. I could not believe how naïve Marietta “Etta” was but then again after what she went through I could comprehend. Then there was Harrison a man that couldn’t bring himself away from work. The part that I could not understand was that his brother was more than capable to help him; there is a thing called delegating. That is a word I know every well. I know that he felt that he needed to do everything himself but come on he couldn’t have the whole business on his shoulders. I enjoyed the storyline and I found myself tearing up once or twice with certain circumstances. Marietta “Etta” Edwards was a lovely young woman that had not yet experienced life. When she was thirteen years old she and her sister were in an awful accident. Her sister, Melissa, passed away along with the driver of the vehicle. Etta lived a very sheltered life and she had gone through so many surgeries to repair her spine. Finally the last surgery she had worked and she was able to walk again she was finally able to leave her wheelchair. The last two years she was still dealing with life and now she was going into a club to seduce a man. She had no idea what she was doing but she was going to do her best and use her new found flirting skills. Harrison Damon as I said was a workaholic and I couldn’t believe when I was reading this story what he was doing in a club. He was actually on his tablet working, come on could he actually concentrate. While he was working someone actually fell on top of him but he didn’t really pay attention at first. Then he saw her dancing and he could take his eyes of her. His brother had given him a hard time about him not seeing anyone after he broke his engagement and I couldn’t blame him. What was done to him was uncalled for but that doesn’t mean that every woman is like that.So Harrison and Etta end up leaving together and they have a very memorable night together. The passion that they felt was hot but soon that became passion full of anger. When Harrison finds out who Etta is he could not believe it, he said some hurtful things to Etta and believe me Etta should have punched him. He didn’t even give her the chance to explain to him that she had no idea who he was. After the accident Etta didn’t want to know anything about the Damon family, she didn’t read the magazines articles of the Damon family and when they came on the TV she would turn it off or switch the channel. Only that Etta is not going to leave it like this she is going to the Damon estate and clear up the situation.Seducing the Enemy was a very passionate, emotional read that I loved. I liked Ms. Adams’s writing style and her writing is clear and focused. The characters were well developed and they seemed so real. I loved how sweet and humorous Marietta was. Then there is Harrison, he needed to loosen up and have a little bit of fun. It was not going to hurt any if he gave more responsibilities to his brother. I love that he took it upon himself to further investigate the accident in which his cousin was killed. The part that I didn’t like was that he judged Etta without really knowing her assuming that she was like his ex-fiancé. The passion between Harrison and Marietta is explosive. They were mean to be together even if Harrison was being an asshat.I totally recommend this read to any reader that loves humor, sweetness, passion in their romance stories. I look forward for more reads by Ms. Adams.Thanks to NetGalley who provided me a copy of this ARC for an honest review.
