Sarah, Lady Strathford, is ready for a little harmless frivolity with a man of her own age and her own appetites…surely that’s not too much to ask! After the death of her beloved husband years before Sarah is ready for an adventure… Enter the dashing, roguish – and baffling – Mr Cornelius Ravenhill.
Ravenhill, however, is not the gentleman he seems, and soon Sarah finds herself battling against the corrupt and harsh world around her as it threatens to destroy all she holds dear. The question is, will her seduction at the hands of Mr Ravenhill prove to be her saviour or her downfall?

You will get an idea about the story from other comments I won't give away any secrets I don't want to spoil your read.Last word is that it's the best book I have read in a while and I read a lot.
I received this book for free and voluntarily reviewed.but that did not influence my opinion.
Sarah, Lady Strathford is finally ready to embrace romance again after the death of her husband. I liked Sarah as a character; although she’d been through a great tragedy, she was eager to see what the future held in store for her. Then she meets Ravenhill, who’s sexy, dashing and more than a little mysterious. I loved the chemistry between them; it sizzled throughout the whole book, and Ravenhill was more than a match for Sarah, providing her with the adventure and intrigue she was desperately looking for.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. Thanks to the lovely Jenny at Neverland Blog Tours, I’ve been able to read some fantastic Regency romances and I’d say this one is my favourite so far. It balances intrigue with romance and is a little bit saucy to boot!
I hadn’t had so much fun with a book in quite some time. And I didn’t know I need it that much. I laughed out loud in many scenes, which took me by surprise. I mean who would have expected to find a steampunk dildo, right? I certainly hadn’t but it made for an interesting surprise and some hilarious moments.
The author does a great job at fleshing out the characters and setting the story. The plot is engaging and you soon get pulled into the story. So here’s a fair warning – don’t start reading late at night or you’ll end up cutting off on sleeping time as I did.
I simply couldn’t put it down. I had to know how the story would unfold. I won’t give any spoilers because I personally don’t like reading them. However, I can say there’s a lot going on in this book to keep you busy. Moreover, the blurb suggests there’s more to Lady Strathford than your average historical heroine. So I think it’s safe for me to say you’re in for a few surprises.
This story is set in London, England, 1855. Sarah, Lady Strathford, twice widowed and still fairly young is ready for a little bit of harmless fun, preferably with a man of her own age with and someone who she can have an adventure with. That’s not too much to ask for is it!
Her hopes are raised when the very dashing, roguish and rather baffling Mr Cornelius Ravenhill appears. As Sarah soon discovers though he is not the gentleman he seems and she finds herself battling against the corrupt and harsh world around her which threatens to destroy everything precious to her. Will her seduction at the hands of Mr Ravenhill prove to be her saviour or was she better off on her own?
As most of you probably know by now I really enjoy historical fiction. I liked the sound of 'The Trouble with Seduction' so was more than happy to give it a go. The blurb is at the front of the eBook, something I think is ever so useful. It’s very handy especially if like me you have loads of books on your e-reader and can’t remember what it’s about.
I thought this to be a very enjoyable read with an extremely complicated plot which keeps you guessing as to what really happened. The author has an eye for detail and I loved reading about Strathford Hall and all its grandeur. It made me wish I was there exploring it and searching out secret rooms and hidden passages. Sarah Strathford’s late husband, Edward, the Earl of Strathford was an inventor. He had created many wonderful things including some rather saucy sex toys.
There were a number of characters some of whom were very unsavoury indeed. I took an instant dislike to Lumsley. Sarah was one of my favourites though. She had been through so much and her real problems were only just beginning. I thought Sarah to be a very kind person. She had set up a charity where children and adults came with their problems for help and to be educated. I also really liked Damen. I don’t want to give too much away but he was good for her even though he wasn’t who she thought he was. He went about things in a bit of an underhand way but had his reasons.
Whilst reading this novel I came across a lovemaking scene that had been split between two chapters which was slightly off putting. I personally felt that it should have all taken place in the same chapter. There was also a fair bit of violence in this book but don’t let that put you off. If you’re a fan of historical fiction then I would say that 'The Trouble with Seduction' is worth reading.
