Friends and Lovers Trilogy
Suspense and sexy fun await in Beth Ciotta’s Friends and Lovers bundle. In Jinxed, beautiful socialite Afia St. John has been plagued with bad luck since her birth on Friday the thirteenth. After losing her father and two older husbands in freak accidents, she discovers her business manager has absconded with her fortune. Afia refuses her godfather’s help and jumps at an unexpected job with Leeds Investigations. Jake Leeds can’t turn down the hefty secret retainer Afia’s godfather offers him to hire her. Quickly seeing beyond her wacky superstitions and sensationalized personal history, Jake realizes Afia is as generous as she is misunderstood. Will the sexy PI be the good luck charm that puts her on a winning streak? In Charmed, the princess is in danger. Lulu Ross champions nonviolence. Just her luck, she’s tiara-over-glass-slippers for a man who carries a Colin Murphy. Too bad the sexy professional bodyguard is delusional. Who would want to hurt Princess Charming, a low-profile, goody-two-shoes who performs as a storybook character at children’s birthday parties? Surely the sexy gifts from a secret admirer are meant for her bombshell sister. Or are they? In Seduced, 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, but faster than a director yells, “Action,” her life goes from Hollywood to Hollyweird. She wakes up in Arizona, disoriented and caked with blood. The last thing Joe Bogart, a burned-out FBI agent on his last undercover case, wants is more intrigue. The last thing he needs is Sofia Marino. Now he’s smack dab in the middle of a murder mystery and in danger of losing his heart. Sofie and Joe embark on a mission to save not only themselves but also their friends and family.

Since I have previously reviewed the first two books, this review is about Seduced only.
Sophia was born into a family of entertainers. She keeps getting so close to her big chance and then something goes wrong. The last
time, it was a cheating boyfriend/agent. So Sophia packs up and goes home to Atlantic City to get her life back in order.
Bogart is an undercover FBI man when he first sees the gorgeous Sophia and the chemistry is explosive, but circumstances don't work
in his favor that any shot at a relationship with Sophia goes south.
Fast forward a few months. Sophia finds herself in a troubling situation. She awakens in a shed with could that be blood? on her clothing
and a "prop" gun in her hand. She has no shoes, no purse or phone and no idea what has occurred in the previous few hours. Donning
some flip-flops from the shed and a rain slicker, she sets out to find a place to contact her brother-in-law to get some help. Murphy, her b-i-l
is boarding a plane and calls on his brother Bogie to help out.
The dynamics between these two is very entertaining. There is heat, lust, confusion and a mystery to be solved.
This is the third book for Beth Ciotta's Friends and Lovers series. I can't believe I didn't read these before.
