~His Seductive Revenge~

by Susan Crosby

      Heroine: generously-curved

      Venture capitalist  and gallery owner Gabe "Romeo" Marquezis is determined to mete out his own brand of justice against power-rich-money-poor Senator Chandler and his wealthy-but-shady business associate Richard Grimes.  His plan?  To seduce lovely socialite Cristina Chandler and destroy any possibility of the two families merging through matrimony.  

      After a "chance" meeting at an art exhibit, Gabe puts his scheme in motion by offering to paint Cristina's portrait.  But as artist and model become intimate, the unthinkable happens to this world-weary Casanova:  Cristina not only gets inside Gabe's bed but also his heart. Will the financier play against the odds, carry out his destructive plan, and risk losing the only woman he has ever loved? 

      What worked for me:

    Gabe was very well-depicted as the smooth, gorgeous man that no woman can tie down but whom every woman wishes she could. And I loved Cristina's portrayal as a woman on a journey of self-discovery, yearning to break free from the mold her parents had crammed her into.  The sexual tension between the two characters was absolutely delicious!

     Size-wise Cristina was lushly-built, having put on some weight after coming to the decision that being thin was not for her.

What didn't work for me:

      There's a reason why I don't usually read category romances; namely that they are so darn short!  :^) But on the plus side "His Seductive Revenge" is part of a series, so perhaps I'll catch a glimpse of Gabe and Cristina in book two or book three.)

Overall:

     A great read!  If you savor sexual tension between your protagonists, you'll love this story.  Be aware that there are some pretty steamy scenes toward the end.
