Mia
Downing’s TRAINED FOR SEDUCTION, the
first book in her Spy Games series, is an erotic romance set in a world of
spies, deceit and danger.
Emma Walters
has lived a very sheltered life as daughter to a crazy scientist. When her father decides to sell bombs to the
wrong people, Chase Sanders is put on the case.
He ends up nearly seducing the young and naïve Emma before she knocks
him out and runs. After a month on the
run, Emma is caught and forced to become a spy herself in order to stay out of
prison (though why she would be going to prison when it was her father that was
under investigation is a big unknown to this reader). Now she finds out that her new boss is the
very man she knocked unconscious and ran from.
And to top it all off, Emma is tasked with taking lessons in seduction from
Chase in order to prepare her for a mission she may not return from.
Mia
Downing’s TRAINED FOR SEDUCTION is
part spy story, part erotic romance. If
this story was solely a spy novel, there would be some obvious problem areas
(Emma being forced to be a spy or go to prison for crimes her father is accused
of being the first one). But Wild Rose
Press has wisely marketed this story as erotic romance, so a little stretch of
reality really isn’t a big problem. So
Chase has to take Emma’s virginity and teach her the art of seduction so she
can “perform” well enough on her mission to perhaps come back alive. Okay.
Of course, Chase has been attracted to Emma from the start, so we know
where this is leading. But who
cares? As erotica, the story is
good. The characters are interesting and
the storyline is intriguing. The plot
moves along nicely and the story twists and turns keep things hopping. The sex is certainly hot.
Readers
looking for a strong spy story may not be thrilled with Mia Downing’s TRAINED FOR SEDUCTION, but erotica fans
are in for a treat. These characters
heat up the pages and the spy story adds some nice flavor to the read.
"This is an objective review and not an endorsement of this
book."
