Ashleigh Thomas might have made the biggest mistake of her life. Uprooting life as she knew it, moving back to Dallas to be closer to her family, she finds herself much closer to the one man who she had never been able to say no to. Attempting to hide the fact that she moonlights as an erotic romance author, she quickly finds herself in his arms and his bed – hoping he’ll fulfill some of those deep, dark desires she has always written about, but never experienced for herself.


Alex McDermott has spent the better part of a decade trying to convince himself to stay away from the alluring Ashleigh, but when she moves back home, he finds out that he’s no longer willing to resist the overwhelming desire she instills in him. But he’s got a secret too – one that might just push Ashleigh out of his life for good – something he’s not willing to let happen.


It doesn't take long for the heat between them to ignite into a wildfire of lust, but can they stop hiding from each other and more importantly stop holding back?

Nicole Edwards

127 books6,071 followers
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nicole Edwards spends her days stringing words together to make complete sentences. Sometimes not. Her best friend is coffee, and she has a love/hate relationship with sarcasm. She’s been accused of having a filthy imagination, which she admits is true.

Nicole lives in the suburbs of Austin, Texas. She proudly claims one husband, three grown children, and two bosses (better known as the dogs). When she isn’t writing, watching football or hockey, or keeping her bosses happy, you can probably find her with a book in hand.

Just what I was looking for....which was some damn good sexy times.

Basically,



And when that happens, one name pops to mind....Nicole Edwards.



It starts with...

Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos

Which leads to...



And quickly escalates to...



Perfectly Smut-tastic!

Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos

And to point out one scene in particular...when this gang gets together, I quickly realized



Because their version of Truth or Dare...



I'd just sit there repeating...



When really I'd be thinking...



And there you have it.

Got an extra star for the cover.
I am just a bit tired of the overload of "come for me, baby, that's it baby, come now ..." and the "You're mine, Ashleigh", he groaned, slamming into her over and over. "Mine."

Ok, we get that authors have to describe the love scenes or the banging scenes in some cases. Just feel there is a lot of stuff repeated in books and in a series. It was still a good enough read. Liked the Hero and Heroine but think I need something completely different.

”She was seduction in its simplest, purest form, and he wasn’t sure how he survived the last ten years without her, but he vowed he’d never spend another minute, another second, without her.”



I have been teased with Alex and Ashleigh’s romance since Conviction, and Seduction soo did not disappoint, it was everything I have come to expect with the entire Club Destiny series, with some added surprises!
”Ten years was a long time to lust after one woman, but Alex had done it. Despite their twelve year age difference, which he felt made her entirely too young for him.”

Ashleigh has made the move back home permanent, as far as Alex is concerned she is fair game
”Just so we’re clear, I can be relentless in my pursuit of what I want.” Alex said calmly, quietly. “And I want you, Ashleigh, I’ve always wanted you.”

So why does Ashleigh act like Alex is nothing to her, ”Her problem? She couldn’t forget the past. Even if he couldn’t remember it.” Lucky for us, they are just too damn hot for each other and finally, after ten long years at the age of twenty-seven, she finally turns in her V-card
”Over and over, delirious with the pleasure of being inside her, knowing he was the only man who had ever felt the exquisite bliss of her body.”

But after that one night, Alex put the kid gloves on and started to treat her as if she would break, it was going to be up to her to seduce him, so that they could live out her fantasies.
”You’ve read my books, you know what I write about. Those are the things I dream about. I want hard. Fast. Dirty. Not gentle and loving all the time.”

Things seem to be going well for the two, but someone from Alex’s past decides they want to be a part of his life
”You’re a saint, Alex. You’re out to save the world, and I don’t know how I fit in with those plans.”

One thing that different with Alex, from Logan and Luke is that he doesn’t share,
”A game of naked truth or dare, a little public foreplay when friends are around is one thing. I’m game whenever you are, but I am not willing to share you with anyone else. Not even if it’s only so they can watch.”

but that doesn’t mean we miss out on the heat from Logan-Sam and Luke-Sierra-Cole, Thanks to a game of Truth or Dare, we get our fill of the other couples *drip*

Alex and Ashleigh totally made up for the wait, they seriously could not get enough of each other, and I doubt they ever will… I’m looking forward to catching up with them in the next books to come
”You’re mine, Ashleigh.” He groaned, slamming into her over and over. “Mine.” He wanted her to come; he wanted her to scream his name. “Your body is mine to pleasure.” He punctuated the words with forceful thrusts inside her tight channel. “Your heart is mine to love.” Harder, faster, the pleasure building crescendo that would likely send them both over…”Your soul is mine. Only mine.”

My thoughts, Alex’s white knight issue annoyed me at first but when it was explained why he is the way he is, it was easier to accept… Ashleigh was so caught up with the past, for ten years she kept that to herself and I kinda almost would have though it was much more believable if they didn't get together because of the age gap. Also these two definitely loved to eat, if you catch my drift ;) even to a point where I was like DAMN, I think that's enough ... lol

apart from hotness, parts of the story made me roll my eyes...
And well, the other parts were just pointless in emphisizing the smuttness...

if that is even possible to percieve but i felt like it was there just because you know, all the characters got together, so in absence of any other bright idea, lets just fuck...

Gah...sometimes it s not enough to just fuck, for the sake of fucking...when you have nothing else worthy of saying to contribute a story

We'll be participating in Nicole Edward's Blog Tour next week and, in preparation, we'd like anyone who enjoys these books to answer a poll question for us - Click Here to Vote. Thanks!

So now it’s the turn of the very charming Alex who’s been harbouring deep feelings for Xavier’s Grand-daughter Ashleigh for more than a decade. He’s managed to stay away from her considering the ten year age gap too big but now she’s moving back to Dallas and will be walking around in front of him, tempting him like never before.

Ashleigh is a complete paradox – she’s a very successful erotic author with virtually no sexual experience of her own. She’s been pumping Sam & Sierra for explicit details of their sex-lives to give her a better insight but there’s no experience like hands-on experience and she and Alex are not going to be able to resist that burning, magnetic attraction that simmers between them for long.

I’ve really adored Alex since we first met him in Book One. He’s got a bit of a swagger going on, is very charming, grins a lot, yes, I’ve been crushing on Alex! He’s absolutely typical Nicole Edwards alpha hero, he’s also a very noble soul doing right by his ex-wife who’s lost in addiction and, of course, he’s drop dead gorgeous.

Ashleigh tries for a while to keep her distance but it was never going to be easy. They date slowly for a while and this really is all about the Seduction until, one day, they explosively come together – that mutual attraction to be denied no longer. Alex frustrates Ashleigh by treating her with kid-gloves when she really just wants him to unleash his wilder side with her.

So, we set out on another deliciously erotic path in this one. There’s no menage in this one but it’s no less hotter than that – Alex and Ashleigh almost set fire to my Kindle and we have a sinful little get together with Sam & Logan and Sierra, Cole & Ashley which is NOT to be missed. That’s the beauty of this kind of series – you have a complete story in each book but you get to catch up with the central characters from the previous books. No cliffhangers, just erotic awesomeness!

Having read Kaleb, which was released after this one, it was wonderful to see the Walker Brothers getting a little bit of an introduction towards the end of this one – I’m really looking forward to these two series developing alongside one another and I almost beside myself with anticipation at what may go on at Club Desitny and Alluring Indulgence in future books. Bring it on!!

Ashleigh’s broken-hearted grief-stricken brother Dylan really made my heart hurt. I do hope Nicole Edwards can find a little bit of happy for him in the future sometime very soon. Maybe with Sara?

4 stars

Nice to get back into this series, although the sex got a bit boring by the end. Loved the truth or dare scene and really enjoyed hearing Ashleigh and Alex's story.

Wow once again Nicole hits it out the ball park..this book is much more emotional than the others but is still as sexy and hot as hell...a simple game of truth and dare is played and wow, just wow, that game will never be the same again...just saying!!!

This book centres around the relationship of Alex and Ashleigh..Alex was around from the start in book 1 was never an integral character..he seemed to be a bit more reserved than the others...he has had a secret crush on Ashleigh for 10 years but never acted on it as there was a 10 year age gap. Alex subsequently got married in haste but was soon divorced but even to this day he still helps his ex-wife who is a victim of domestic violence and herself from pushing her own self destruct button and always turns to Alex in times of trouble. She basically just uses him for her convenience and she constantly aggravated me during this book.

Ashleigh, Ashleigh, Ashleigh...she is different...very different..she writes erotic novels under a pen name yet is sexually inexperienced..a select few know about her writing and just automatically think that she is writing from experience but when whilst probing Samantha and Sierra for ideas and opinions her sexual history is revealed (ie: nothing) the girls make it their mission to get her paired up ASAP.

and so the "Seduction" begins...Alex and Ashleigh....it is all hush hush in the beginning but there can be no secrets in this group and we get to see the whole relationship develop, not without it's ups and downs of course. Alex and Ashleigh are completely mutual so no threesomes in this book but as said earlier...one seriously smoking game of Truth and Dare that you cannot help but read and read again and then read it again just to make sure you read it right the first time lol.

The beauty of this series to is that Nicole continually incorporates our favourites from the other Club Destiny books, so we still get to hear about Sam and Logan and Luke, Cole and Sierra..it's like reading about a bunch of friends that you are a part of.

Another exciting twist in this book is that the Walker brothers make an appearance. Nicole Edwards has another series in the pipeline the first of which was released just before this book called "Kaleb" the Walker brothers are building a similar club and come to Club Destiny to see how one of these clubs works and also to get some financial backing... Walker brothers and the McCoys in one book...yum yum yum..seriously how much hotness can one person squeeze into a book series.....hmmmmmm anticipating with a big capital A, I so cannot wait to see where this is going.

I really enjoyed this one! I'm on a Nicole Edwards read-a-thon right now and can't stop! It was actually nice to take a step back for a second from the normal 3-way, 4-way action and have some romance, love and HEA. But don't get me wrong, that Truth or Dare scene was...well...OFF THE EFFING CHARTS!!! 4.5 STARS!!!!

I really wanted to love this but I just could not feel anythingnbetween Alex and Ashleigh. The first two books in the series had great character connections, while here I just didn't find that. Maybe it's just me.

This book shouldn't be in the BDSM category. Or menage.
I had to force myself to read it, I almost DNF at 50% because the heroine had to give the guy a SCRIPT to get him to act like a dominant. And by that I mean order her around a little.
The hero is a wimp - he's supposed to be the big bad Dom and he doesn't do anything without her DEMANDING it.
I was extremely dissapointed.
I have to read the other books because I enrolled in a challenge, but honestly, I wouldn't choose to read anymore of this series.

I really enjoyed this book and i really love Alex, a man right my street who does not like to share his woman. I enjoy the game with the rest of the gang, like a lot. That was so sexy. Just a get together of friends who are not shy with each other but in the intimacy of they house with no strangers around.

“Hey all so I just finished Seduction (Club Destiny) and I want to play a little game with my partner in crime Fawn. Fawn, are you ready?”

Fawn: “Yep!” (looking at me funny)

Ena: “Great, let’s start. Fawn truth or dare?”

Fawn: (shakes her head) “Um I guess I will choose truth!”

Ena: “Is it true you haven’t read any book by Nicole Edwards?”

Fawn: “Yes, (she looks guilty) so now it’s my turn. Ena, truth or dare?”

Ena: (smiles) “Truth”

Fawn: “Is it true you just finished with Seduction (Club Destiny) by Nicole Edwards, and if yes what did you think?”

Ena: “Why yes, yes I did Fawn and I loved it..This will be the easiest truth I have had to. answer thus far in my 28 years of life. So sit back and relax and let me tell you a little bit about Seduction by Nicole Edwards.”


~~Ena’s 5 Truth or Dare (Oh please pick dare) Stars~~

Nicole Edward’s does it again with Seduction. I have NEVER been disappointed with any of the books I have read thus far and I don’t plan on being disappointed in any of the ones I read in the near and far future!

Ashleigh, god love her, yes she is a VIRGIN which with Nicole’s mind and imagination can be a very very scary thing. The one that she has on her side is just because she hasn’t experienced the mind blowing orgasms that having sex with a certain sexy older man who has had his eye on her for 10 years in real life doesn’t mean she doesn’t write about all those mind blowing orgasms and threesomes that she writes about in her books. Why yes, Ashleigh is not only a children’s author but she also writes erotica stories under a different pen name. (Ummmmm let’s see Nicole writes erotica romance novels, Ashleigh writes erotica romance novels – I am seeing a trend here) So for 10 long year’s Ashleigh has had a secret crush (if you will) on one very delicious older man, Alex, but because of their age difference and Ashleigh’s thoughts that she couldn’t handle or keep a man like Alex McDermott she has stayed away. That is until she moves back to Dallas and well you know what they say. OH WHAT YOU DON’T? – damn well neither do I; I thought y’all would know what “they” say..But basically they are now in the same zip code hanging out around the same people and she is like a sticky bun if you will and he is well an ant (but a sexy ant) and if the ant is anywhere near the sugar sweetness of the sticky bun, well that ant (Alex) is going to find that sticky bun and climb all over that sticky bun and devour that sticky bun. Get it now? Good – moving on!

Alex McDermott (oh sweet Jesus – let me get my towel real quick)…Okay I am back! So Alex McDermott is another oh so sexy piece of man that Nicole has been so kind to share with us. He doesn’t share his women (You know like Luke, Logan, and Cole seem to love to do) Nope he has wanted Ashleigh for 10 long years and when he gets his hands and his tongue on her they will be the ONLY hands and tongue on her. Now don’t get me wrong I love reading about the threesomes that Nicole hasn’t written in her other books but those 2 hands and holy shit his tongue that Alex wants and does put allover Ashleigh well it was enough for me because they are nice big hands and impressive tongue that do unimaginable things to Ashleigh’s body.

“So pretty,” Alex whispered, “I love to taste your sweet pussy, thrust my tongue into your hot, wet heat. I live for it,” Alex murmured against her mound, his warm breath sending chills racing down her spine.

So we have Ashleigh who is NOT experienced AT ALL and we have Alex who is VERY experienced and by nature a very dominating man – recipe for disaster? One would think but our little Ashleigh surprises me, she breaks out of her shell and unleashes the animal that she has kept under lock and key – or should I say the animal that has been kept between the front and back cover of her books!

Alex gives Ashleigh A LOT of her firsts, and she is grateful for that. However, knowing that Alex is the one man that can break her heart she still has somewhat of a wall built around her heart but Alex is determined to knock that wall down and is determined to be the ONLY man that is ever lucky enough the experience Ashleigh the way he gets to.

“Then I want to bury my cock in your ass, fucking you until you stop begging for more and come around my dick.”

“Do you want that, Ash? Want to feel my cock buried to the hilt in your sweet ass?”


(Why yes Alex, yes I do……………………. – OH SHIT he was talking to Ashleigh and not me!)

Now what Club Destiny book would be complete without a little appearance of our favorite Club Destiny series? Yes Logan, Sam, Luke, Sierra, and Cole all make their appearance in Seduction and you know what happens when they get together? Oh you don’t! Okay well let me fill you in – things get extremely HOT so you may need a beach towel to sit on while reading this one! Please don’t use the one you sat on while reading Temptation – go ahead and get a clean one – I will wait……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….(Fawn I am almost done with my truth – you better get ready for your dare) …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Oh okay you’re back good! So moving on shall we?

So aside from the mind blowing sex and intense melt your panties right off you orgasms that Nicole is well known for this book made me feel many different emotions at once. Yes, I even got teary eyed during parts of this book. Not the ugly cry that I am sure we have all experienced but a little teary eyed here and there that had my heart ache. I laughed, cried (teary eyed), swooned, squirmed, clench my thighs (yes more than once), and licked my screen (yes I did). Ashleigh is scared of the intense feelings she has for Alex and she isn’t sure her heart can take on a man like that but she is willing to try. Alex is determined and knows that Ashleigh is who he wants, in his life, in his bed, and maybe in his heart – which scares him a little too. Can Ashleigh overcome her fear of falling in love with Alex at her hearts expense and can Alex come to terms that Ashleigh isn’t made of china and she won’t break and can he give her all her fantasies and then some? His is capable of falling in love with Ashleigh and be the only man to ever hold her heart? I can’t say enough about this book other than get it and read it! But if you are a Club Destiny virgin than first off SHAME ON YOU and second start with Conviction (go commando and have plenty of towels to sit on).. So this is my truth Fawn (and readers) take it or leave it. I loved it and I hope you do too.

Ena: “Okay Fawn that is my truth, now it’s my turn because I can’t ask you the truth about how you felt about Seduction because you are my Nicole Edwards’ virgin. So with that being said, Fawn truth or dare?”

Fawn: “Well shit let’s make this interesting. Dare!”

Ena: (grinning and winks at Fawn) “Are you sure Fawn? Now remember I don’t even back out on a dare and neither do you. And I have a feeling all our reader’s don’t either. So not only is this dare for you Fawn, this dare is for all the Nicole Edward virgins out there that haven’t had the PLEASURE (while sitting on a towel) to experience Club Destiny. So Fawn and reader’s are you ready?”

Fawn: “Shoot – lay it on me………….give it to me…………..”

Ena: (with a twinkle in my eye as I say) “I dare you (Fawn) and you (yes you the one reading this that is too a virgin) to read Nicole Edward’s Club Destiny Series”

**This audiobook was received from Audiobook jukebox in exchange for an honest review**

My Thoughts: First things first, the abs on that cover model are gorgeous.... *sigh*. Okay so we have another book from Nicole Edwards that I like so much better than all the others.

The Story: This book picks up right where Temptation left off, and overlaps a few events in Addicted. It follows Ashleigh, a friend of Samantha and Sierra from the previous books, and Alex, a friend of Logan, Luke, and Cole from the previous books. We saw him on the sidelines in the previous books, but never had much interaction with him. Now, he gets his own story.

Alex has been into Ashleigh for a long time, but as she is 12 years younger than him, he had stayed away for a while. Now though, they're both grown up, she's moved back to town, and he can't stay away. He has secrets though, ones that she may not like, and she has some as well, ones that may make him look differently at her if he knew. This story is so much better than all the others because there are more challenges to overcome, more storyline, and there's more buildup.

Narration: Ava Erickson and Patrick Leigh were the best narrators of this series so far. They seemed to get into the moods of the story, though I liked Patrick a bit more because Ava sounded a bit strange when she was trying to make the male voices. Still, the pacing was good, and I really liked them as narrators.

Verdict: I give this one 3.5 stars. I really liked that though it was definitely erotica, there was more to the story than just the sex, at least at the beginning, and all the side stories were actually needed for this storyline. I do believe the story itself was a bit too long. There was a point where practically all the challenges were overcome, but there was still a ton of story left, and it seemed the author couldn't help but give us more heated scenes. Then an issue came back around and it made the story seem a little unbalanced. Still, the story was good. I was thinking about stopping after the previous novella, but decided to give this one a chance. I liked this one more than all the others in the series, and it gave me more hope to continue the series.

Sadly, this book is a do not finish for me. I’m disappointed because I liked the first two books in the series, so I thought I’d enjoy this one too. Unfortunately, it fell flat. Very flat.

First, I’m having trouble getting through it because it’s so slow. It seems like the story is progressing at a snail’s pace. I don’t even have enough interest to find out how it ends.

Second, besides being boring, I am so annoyed with the many conflicts. The characters have known each other for a decade, but know nothing about each other and don’t talk. It’s odd because they have the same friends and travel in the same circles. They avoid each other in the beginning for no other reason than to try and create conflict. There isn’t actually a good reason for them to avoid each other, they just are. They are both attracted to the other, but still chose to be apart. Why? They are both single adults who have chemistry (according to the author, I didn’t feel it) and feelings for each other, but they don’t want to be together. That really annoyed me.

Finally, the fact that the heroine is a twenty eight year old virgin is enough to make me want to pull my hair out. I just don’t buy it. Why is she a virgin? Apparently, she’s gorgeous. She’s managed to somehow make it through high school and college in America with her virginity intact. It’s ridiculous. There are no religious reasons or moral objections to premarital sex, no overprotective parents; the only explanation given is she’s just shy. Right. But she’s an erotic romance author? Yes, you read that right. The heroine is a twenty eight year old erotic romance author who also happens to be a virgin.

Now, I’m probably more sensitive to this issue than most, because I LOATHE the older virgin heroine storyline that has been overdone, in my opinion, in romance novels. This one just took the cake. I couldn’t take it anymore. I think I might still give the next book a shot though, since I did enjoy the first two. We’ll see.

Two fantastic main characters, a great story and very nice flow of the book!

This was probably my favourite book of the series so far, though if I had to pick between Logan, Luke and Alex (H's from each book), I couldn't pick a favourite. Alex is pretty high up on that list with his sweet (though a little dominant) behavior, his gentle character and overall very nice manners. And even though I can't find one single negative thing about Ashleigh, the heroine of this book, Alex still completely stole the show in this book.
And damn... every single sex scene between them was so freakin' hot!!


The only reason this book isn't getting 5 stars from me would be the whole Jessie - storyline. That woman was plain annoying and whenever she showed up it was the only time Alex tended to act a little naive / ignoring the obvious - but I know it makes sense that this storyline served a purpose for the two main characters in the end, so I'm not complaining too much. Still find that Jessie - woman terribly annoying.

On to book 4...

This story was all about Alex and Ashleigh. We were introduced to Alex in the first two books and I enjoyed learning about his back-story.

I initially liked Ashleigh but as the book progressed I felt I was reading the point of view of a naive 15 year girl not a 29 year old woman. While I understand she lacked experience, she was an author of erotic books so I couldn't understand why she was behaving so immaturely. Over the course of the book I found it hard to like her. Of course, Alex had his issues and kept secrets but I could understand some of his reasons for his actions.

The chemistry between Alex and Ashleigh was undeniable but by the midway point of the book I found myself skimming the sex parts. The only thing that save this book for me was the Truth or Dare game.

If you are looking for a book that is full of hot sex and light of storyline, this is definitely the book for you.

I'm surprised my Kindle didn't go up in flames while I was reading this. These sex scenes are SERIOUSLY SIZZLING HOT. Nicole Edwards never disappoints in that regard. These Club Destiny kids are so naughty with their voyeuristic tendencies...I love it. :) The Truth or Dare games were pretty awesome. The romance between Alex and Ashleigh that developed after knowing each other for so many years was pretty freaking hot and sweet and romantic all at the same time. The plot...well, there wasn't much there to be honest. It's a pretty straight-forward romance with a lot of hot sex, and not a lot of conflict. But I'll forgive that...based on the cover, the sex scenes and the outrageous amount of against the wall sex. YUM. Great, great addition to the Club Destiny series and what a way to kick off my smutty beach vacation reading!

I liked this story alot. Gotta say I love this club destiny series. This one would be my least fav out the bunch. But that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. I definitely did. I thought Alex was such a sweet guy and very sexy. And I like Ashleigh's character as well. I liked their background story too. I kinda missed the menages haha!! I guess cause menages were in all the books before this one in the series so I missed it a bit. But the truth or dare game was so good! I love Nicole's writing style. Looking forward to reading more of her books.

I would give this book 3.5 stars. The story dragged on a bit. Ashley's character lacked development. I couldn't understand how she could be a virgin at 28. I guess it was because she was always hung up on Alex, but that part of her character didn't make sense to me. I definitely could not understand how they didn't discuss the fact that she was a virgin after their first encounter. I just didn't buy into the romance between Alex and Ashley all the way.

The smoking hot alphas keep coming with this series. Alex has always has a thing for Ashleigh and he is determined to get her. What he doesn't realize is the wild sex is what she wants and thats the part of him he has been holding out on with her. Love it couldn't put it down and can't wait for more of this series.
