Seduced

Friends and Lovers Trilogy #3

by Beth Ciotta

Sofia Marino is a kick-ass heroine. Her role on the cheesy TV sitcom “Spy Girl” has garnered her a male cult following, fan sites, and a hefty bank account. Okay. So it’s not Scorsese or Spielberg, but at least she’s in front of the camera doing what she was born to do. Faster than a director yells, “Action”, her life goes from Hollywood to Hollyweird when she wakes up in Arizona, disoriented and caked with blood. With several hours of her life unaccounted for, Sofia finds herself on the run and under the protection of burned out FBI agent, Joe Bogart, a man who once broke her heart with a single kiss.

Sofie and Joe embark on a mission to save not only themselves, but also their friends and family. If they succeed in staying alive, will these two jaded souls then risk their hearts on each other, or will they forever remain. . . Seduced?

Cute ending to the series. Enjoyed seeing the characters from the previous books in here.

When Sofia Marino comes to in a garden shed covered in blood with a gun in her hand she can't remember what happened. Sofia is an 'action' character on a TV series and at first thinks this is part of a show until she realizes she's in Phoenix and not LA. She calls her brother-in-law who is in a protection agency and he says a local colleague will be right over to sort things out. The colleague is his brother, Joe Bogart, whom Sofia has a contentious relationship with. They find themselves having to work together to get her memory back and to out fox the bad guys. High action and a good bit of humor. Great ending to a trilogy.

Enjoyed all three. Well paced with characters that were likable. I think the third was the best... but I think that was partially because all of the couples were involved in it. Loved the ending too!!

And, oh boy, those cowboys were morons to the nth degree!

Loved it! Enjoyed the storyline perspective very much. Has just enough intrigue to keep me from putting it down but not so much that I got overly anxious. Sweet and spicy in a perfect blend!

Wow! How different was this book from the previous one on the series, Charmed. Of course, Sofia Marino (the heroine of this story) is supposed be very different from the heroine of the other story, her sweetie-pie, older sister.

a bit sexually graphic

[Holley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fluffy read, even if it has amnesia and a murder at its central plot. Think bookshelf mystery for the romance fan. Definitely would read more of the author after this series
