Fionna Hawkes leads a double life. By day, she is the owner of a bookstore but by night, she is F.J.Sparrow, an author that writes about murder and monsters. Unfortunately someone wants to end her life. Aidan McBride is the man who wants to protect her from her unknown assailant.

Fionna is a woman with a full plate. At the age of 26, she is a business woman, an author and has to care for her sick mother. Fionna is a very strong and intelligent person. Aidan’s interest in her is sparked at their first meeting. Aidan has his own demons to deal with and they haunt him. Aidan and Fionna are very complex and powerful characters. Their background story makes them very believable and readers will be able to relate to them. We can empathize with what they have undergone and what they have to deal with daily. With two very likable leads, the story really takes off. They are a well-matched and charismatic couple. The eroticism is in keeping with the story and doesn’t dominate the story.

THE SEDUCTION OF AN UNKNOWN LADY is another great historical romance from the pen of Ms. James. With a fabulous lead couple and some nice twists to the storyline, readers will be hard press to put this book down. It is a page turner that takes the reader on an adventure that will have you clamoring for her next book. This reader has enjoyed all her previous books and this one does not disappoint!
