Jezebeth, a succubus is out one night hunting. She needs the sexual energy to survive. While getting close to a likely ‘victim’, she’s attacked by a demon. Things aren’t going so well when a handsome human comes to her rescue. Together they get rid of the demon and are now on the run. It seems that he is to escort her back to Lilith her queen as there is a mighty powerful demon after her and her sisters.

Noah Halston is really a horror story writer. One day, during his research, he spoke a summoning spell out loud and summoned, Lilith. Now he owes her and she has commanded him to find Jezebeth, protect her and bring her back to Lilith’s lair. If he fails, then it’s an eternity of torture. Thing is, Noah is falling for the sexy succubus, but she could kill him if he gives in to the attraction.

This is quite an exciting, action-packed story that will pull you in and keep you interested until the last page. Cassie Ryan has quite a vivid imagination and builds a world of demons, angels, succubus, incubus and other paranormal creatures who all live and work among our world today. Ms Ryan cleverly uses biblical lore and gives her readers a story that is quite believable. I loved her characters. Jezebeth is, although immortal, quite human in her thoughts and actions. Noah is at first repulsed by Jez, but it doesn’t take long to find out they have a lot in common. We also meet Uriel, the arch-angel Michael, Raphael and Gabriel. I was particularly enthralled by the relationship between Uriel and Lilith. Of course, I have to tell you, this is a hot, sensuous, romantic story that will heat up those cold winter nights.

I’m really looking forward to more!

A gifted seer, Katelyn Hunt is unprepared for the sexy and sinful man who calls to her and makes her feel such passion from his touch. She also never expects to be tossed to another planet and finding herself under a sensual spell that will either save a planet or dooms them all. Prince Grayson de Klatch has searched far and wide for the seer who is destined to save his planet and when he meets Kaitlyn; his world is thrown into chaos and pure, sensual desire. Time is racing as the evil faction that wants his planet for their own and is determined to use Kaitlyn for their nefarious purposes. Can Grayson and Kaitlyn find a way to stop them? Can she trust the man who makes her long for his touch and sexual surrender?

Ms. Ryan delivers a wild and sensual ride in her latest Seduction book, VISION OF SEDUCTION. This was the first one I read of this author’s series and I have to say, it was smoking hot! I was lost in a world where sexual energy is used to help a planet live, the men are alpha heroes and really, really yummy. But the best part was the women heroines are strong, tough and sexy in their own right as well. Ms. Ryan’s word building is magical and awe inspiring. She definitely captures the reader’s imaginations from the first page to the last. Get ready for one hot ride when you read the latest Seduction book, VISION OF SEDUCTION. Just be aware that there are some scenes that have group sex, ménages and other similar scenes sprinkled throughout the book. So it may not be for everyone.

Here you will meet Kaitlyn Hunt, a gifted Seer who runs a new age shop on Earth. Strong, powerful yet vulnerable, Ms. Ryan captures Kaitlyn’s emotions, insecurities and desires perfectly. She also delivers a strong and sexy alpha hero to help Kaitlyn adjust to a new world and new reality. Prince Grayson de Klatch is a Sexual Energy witch on his home planet and he needs all his energy when he meets Kaitlyn because she literally knocks him on his cute butt with her sassiness and desires. Both characters are well rounded and interact wonderfully with secondary characters as well. The pace is fast and the sex scenes are hot.

With each page, the sparks fly and the sexual tension between these two are like throwing gasoline on a fire; it gets that smoking hot. Ms. Ryan delivers a spine tingling, pulse pounding ride from start to finish and if you like yummy males who are jaw dropping gorgeous and the heroines that go toe to toe with them. Get that fire extinguisher close by because you will definitely need to cool off. This reviewer was ready to jump in a cold shower to cool off after reading VISION OF SEDUCTION. Now I am racing to grab the first book, Ceremony of Seduction to see how it all began and this reader is definitely hoping there isn’t too much of a wait before the next book is released. So if you like hot sex that melts the polar ice caps & yummy characters that singe the fingers, you will love VISION OF SEDUCTON.
