Book Description

July 2001
He could offer her only one thing — a week of intimate pleasure....

Samuel Lennox and Miss Alexandra Ionides cordially invite you to a most provocative game of seduction

It shall last for seven days, during which Lennox, Viscount Ranelagh, will wield his celebrated prowess with the London ladies in an attempt to add Miss Alex’s name to his list of conquests. The infamous list is long, though the duration of each liaison has been brief — and as the viscount will assure anyone, that is precisely how he likes it.

The lady, for her part, an accomplished artist and benefactress of various charities, has no wish to be a mere plaything. Although a week of intimate pleasure with a man of Ranelagh’s legendary skills would be memorable...

As for the other players — irate parents, designing debutantes, a scheming ex-mistress, even a love-struck young man with ideals — all seem intent on meddling. But the viscount is single-minded when it comes to seduction, and Miss Alex is in his sights.

Come see who wins in this amorous game!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing 1 Feb 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is my first Susan Johnson book, and I don't think I'll be buying any more.

There is an excuse for a plot in 'Seduction in Mind': Samuel Lennox, Viscount Ranleigh, is determined to seduce Alexandra Ionides, independent woman, painter, and occasional nude model. Of course, with that title, you can pretty much guess what you're getting. There are couplings aplenty, in the graphic style more often found in erotica. This I do not have a problem with.

What I do have a problem with is that Ms Johnson's writing style is very, very flat. She has very little description, was there is does not help you envision the scene and be absorbed into the mood. This is compounded by the fact that her book is heavily researched - it even has endnotes! Thanks, but I want romance, not a lesson in art history.

I suppose the art history wouldn't be so bad if she could evoke some kind of atmosphere; she certainly does have an interesting range of secondary characters, including the Prince of Wales and his actress-mistress Lillie Langtry, but these aren't anywhere near fleshed out enough.

What's really annoying is that she obviously has a good grasp of some period history, but makes some horrid slip-ups. I don't mind a little historical inaccuracy, but sometimes it jolts me when I was deeply involved, and that's really annoying. But when she mentions "the parish courthouse", I laugh out loud, and "cookies" are "biscuits"! Goodness, she'll be mentioning the "sidewalk" next...Apart from this, the characters are late-twentieth century through and through - their dialogue is not that of the nineteenth century, and their behaviour! I can't see any well-bred man or woman handing around plates of cakes: that's what they have servants for, and they knew it. Oh, and tea and cakes was a late-afternoon occasion, not a 10am one.

Of course, you're saying, what we want from Ms Johnson is sex. Lots and lots of sizzling, raunchy, hot hot HOT sex. And there is plenty of sex, but it just becomes dull after the first couple of times: quickies are nice, but wouldn't you get tired of them time after time?

If you want sex, and lots of it, you'd be better off reading Black Lace books, or something similar; 'Seduction in Mind' gets repetitive very quickly. It's only redeeming feature is its "Happily ever after..." ending, and even that's weak, because the story that's gone before has been so underdeveloped.

Take my advice, and go buy some erotica instead.

1.0 out of 5 stars Porn Book!! 28 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I've read Susan Johnson before and I liked here style, historic sets, sensual caracther and sizzling love scenes. Unfortunatly this book has none of that.... there is no plot... only two people starved for sex and other caracther are not devoleped.

The love scene I used to like ... none of those either... lots of slang words (fu***) and quickies... no love their.

There is no romance in this book.... just sex and I wish I hadn't bought it.

It should be classified as erotica and not an historical romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't get much better than this!! 2 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Along with Kim Corum ("Playtime", etc), Susan Johnson is fast becoming one of my favourite erotica writers. "Seduction in Mind" has to be her best to day. Full of sex (of course) and great dialogue, it will keep you glued until the very last page. And then you'll want to read it again just to be sure you didn't miss anything!
