2.0 out of 5 stars
Overwritten, 2 Sep 2004
By Karen Mercury - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Perfect Seduction (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was such an effort to read! I couldn't put my finger on it till halfway through but...Every single line of dialogue "has" to be accompanied by an in-depth internal analysis of what each person's thinking!
It's as though one person says, "Hello, Sera." Then: He wasn't sure about his feelings for her. He recalled back in the War when he was wounded, and it brought up huge emotions... And that'll go on and on before Sera says,
"Hello, Tom." (or whatever his name was.) Then SHE has to internally analyze: She could tell he'd been sweating, and smelled like fireplace smoke but not of the hardwood that he used in his estate--no, she could tell it was a hardwood only found on the coast near Brighton, which of course meant he had a mistress...
And on and on. It takes like 4 pages for a conversation to really take off. Everyone's always assuming things they couldn't possibly have known unless they were psychic.
Just too annoying to finish.

What a treat!, 18 May 2006
By VA Girl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Perfect Seduction (Mass Market Paperback)
It's always a treat to pick up a book by an author you're not familiar with and realizing by the third page that they've just become one of your favorites. LaFoy had me when the heroine refused to be ripped off by a client she did a drawing for (if you read this book I'm sure you'll mentally applaud like I did). Most heroines would just swallow their pride and accept whatever she got because "it's for the children", but not this one. She stayed strong throughout the whole book and never made any of the stupid mistakes most headstrong heroines do that makes you roll your eyes at their idiocy. She stood up for herself and it was refreshing. Oh, and the hero wasn't too shabby himself. My one complaint is that the ending was a little too easily wrapped up.

4.0 out of 5 stars
solid historical romance, 26 Nov 2003
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Perfect Seduction (Mass Market Paperback)
In Belize City, a colony overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, artist Seraphina Treadwell watches three preadolescent sisters Amanda, Beatrice, and Camille. The parents of the young girls and her husband journey into the nearby jungle in search of the ruins of ancient civilizations. Six months pass without a word from the three travelers when word arrives that the missing father's brother has become an earl.Three months later, Seraphina and her three charges arrive at the London townhouse of their uncle Carden Reeves. The aristocrat wants nothing to do with his nieces because he now that he is the earl he enjoys his hedonist lifestyle and doesn't want children to change that. Carden persuades the impoverished Seraphina to watch his half-brother's litter so that the trio does not interrupt his activities. However, soon he falls in love with the four female intruders. They reciprocate, but her allegedly deceased husband shows up ready to cause trouble if it means filling his pockets.
Historical romance readers will welcome this warm tale of a self-indulgent individual falling in love with the four female invaders. The story line entertains the troops as Seraphina takes Carden to task for his lack of commitment towards the welfare of his nieces. Though a suspense spin caused by her husband takes a little away from the strength of a powerful relationship drama, sub-genre fans will enjoy this tale and look forward to future stories starring Carden's pals finding responsibility worth living for.
