What happens when you’re forced to seduce the one person you vowed never to love?
You get screwed … in more than one way.
I walked out of Tucker Middleton’s bedroom seven years ago, leaving him hurt and angry. Now I need his help; the only way I can get it, is to make him think I want him back.
The only problem is we have silently vowed to hate one another for the rest of our lives. In order to get Tucker to help me—I have to seduce him.
Easy right?
Hell yes! I’m the CEO of CMI Consulting. If I set my mind to something, I make it happen.
Charleston Monroe is playing me for a fool. If she believes for one second I’m going to let her walk into my life to help her save the very job that ripped her away from me, she’s got another thing coming.
She thinks she can seduce me, and I let her believe she can. After all, I’m getting what I’ve always wanted.
Her.

Rolling over, I pulled the covers over my head and moaned.
“Oh shit,” I whispered. Even my whispered words hurt my head. I
hadn’t drunk like that in a long time.
Note to self: Give up alcohol. Except wine. Wait. No. Never ever give up
wine.
With my head still buried, I tried to think back to last night. The
last thing I remembered was talking to that guy . . . Brad. No Billy.
Bobby? Brady?
Who cares? I need aspirin.
I pushed the covers over my head and went to get out of bed. I
froze when I saw the sheets.
Oh. My. God.
These aren’t my sheets.
Turning, I looked at the bed.
This isn’t my bed.
Glancing down, I gasped.
I’m not wearing any clothes.
Covering my mouth, I jumped up. “I didn’t. Oh God, please tell me
I didn’t. Terri! I’m going to kill her.”
Frantically looking around, I saw my purse on the chair in the corner.
Rushing over to it, I dug through it until I found my phone.
As I waited for that whore to answer her phone, I mumbled, “She
broke the number one girlfriend code. Don’t let your friend leave with a
guy when they’re drunk!”
“Hey, girl! So? Did you get laid like you wanted? Please tell me yes
’cause this would make a great story.”
My heart jumped to my throat as a small sound came from my lips.
“Wh-what? Why? How could you? You let me go off with him? What if
he had killed me!”
She laughed. “Hardly. But then again, you do drive him up a wall,
and he has mentioned snuffing you out a time or two.”
My finger and thumb went to the bridge of my nose. “What are
you talking about?”
Terri muffled the phone, then laughed. “Hello? Terri! I’m at a
strange man’s house, I don’t remember anything, and I’m naked.”
“Wait. You’re naked?”
“Yes!”
“Oh, wow. Shit just got really interesting. Where’s Tucker?”
Tucker? How in the hell would I know where Tucker was?
“I don’t know! I don’t care. Terri. I don’t know where I am. He
could come back any minute, and I’m standing here naked. Oh my God.
Do you think I had sex with him?”
“Do you feel like you had sex?”
Stopping, I jumped around a bit. “No. I’d be sore if I did, right?
Fuck if I know, it’s been so long.”
Terri sighed. “It really has been that long. You’ve done forgotten
how it feels, huh?”
“Aww, hell, Mr. Pootie!”
“I’m sure he’s fine. Let’s get back to what happened between you
and Tucker last night.”
I shook my head as I glanced around the room for my clothes.
Dropping to my knees, I looked under the bed.
“Why are we talking about Tucker? I have bigger problems.”
Then I heard a male voice clear his throat.
“Oh God,” I whispered. “He’s in the room, Terri. I’m naked! I can’t
find my clothes.”
Terri laughed. “Okay, well, have fun. Tell Tucker I said hey.”
My brows furrowed, and I was about to say something when the
line went dead.
It was then I felt the change in the room, and everything from
last night came crashing back into my poor brain, causing my head to
pound harder.
Slowly lifting up, I peered over the bed, only to find Tucker leaning
up against the doorjamb. He wore a shit-eating grin on his face, and
fuck me, he looked so gorgeous.
Oh no.
I swallowed hard. “Um . . . I can’t, um. Well, it appears I am . . . you
see, I can’t find my, ahh . . . the dress I had on.”
Jesus. Why do I act like an idiot around him? Why!
“Your clothes had throw up on them. They’re almost dry.”
My stomach dropped. “Did we . . . ?”
He smiled. Full on dimples and all.
God, I want him. Even in my current hungover condition, I’ve never wanted
this man more than right now.
Wait. No. I don’t!
Yes . . . yes, you do.
Crap. What if I already had him? And I don’t remember. I’m going to be so
pissed off if we had sex and I don’t remember it.
“No, we didn’t sleep together, and for the record, you got yourself
undressed.”
Relaxing, I let out the breath I didn’t realize I held in.
I was so excited when I heard that Kelly Elliott had a new series and jumped at the chance to read and review. This is a second chance at love story, a friends to lovers, lovers to enemies and back again story.
Charleston “Charlie” Monroe walked away from Tucker Middleton 7 years ago and has not looked back. Now, she desperately needs his help, the question is, will he help?
Seduce Me was full of off the charts chemistry between Charlie and Tucker and had me riveted from the first to the last page, honestly I couldn’t put this book down and read it in almost one sitting.
Charlie needs Tucker’s help but will not tell him the reason. Their camaraderie and banter had me in stitches at times and I loved how fiery the relationship between Tucker and Charlie was. I adore Tucker, he really isn’t afraid to say what he wants and frankly his alpha tendencies left me in tatters.
Tucker and Charlie must come to terms with the past before they can contemplate a future together. Can Tucker forgive Charlie for walking away or is he bound to the bitter past?
You could tell that Tucker and Charlie really do belong together but circumstances continue to drive a wall between them. Seduce Me was an angsty yet fun read that I thoroughly enjoyed.
The secondary characters caught my attention and I eagerly anticipate the next story in the Austin Singles series. I do believe Ms. Elliott has another winning series on her hands.
What a great start to the new Austin Singles Series by the
very talented Kelly Elliott, if you love second chance romance this will be a
MUST READ!!!

had read the very last line, I was captivated I was drawn in by the plot as
