The sex scenes between Katie and Jason are hot and steamy! As a reader I must say I hate cliffhangers. But while one good thing comes to Katie and Jason, the author writes the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers! I was left with more questions than answers but now my curiosity is peaked and I can't wait for the next book in this series to come out! Oh how I hate waiting! But this next book will be worth waiting for and I hope to get so many answers that I didn't get in this first book.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery, excitement and a love story with steamy sex to boot! Nov 09, Ewa rated it really liked it Shelves: The story line was interesting. She committed the bigamy whether no? If yes, why wasn't she punished? It would be better if the book was longer. Through this relationship between Jason and Katie it seems unrealistic.

They have not seen for a year, and after meeting the next day she jumps into his bed being a virgin. Ending begs for reaching for the second book. Nov 12, Anna Wicked Book Blog rated it did not like it. It starts with a disconnected phone call and moves straightly to an indefinite time in the future when the heroine wanders around the Europe in search of who knows what and almost For Katie, her devastating news became global gossip and traveling anonymously was her only escape while she came to terms with a life that had been a huge lie.
Her most heartbreaking loss was Jason, her best friend and the man she was in love with, and one-sided love can be a humiliating thing. A Guardian Angel came to her rescue, the same one who has been following her on her journey, hiding in the shadows. And what is it Jason wants to talk about? Who is after Katie and why?
Will they reach safety on their own, or will help come from a completely unexpected source? With all of the intrigue and the race to stay alive, Secret Seduction by Jill Sanders is still a tender love story, filled with innocence and passion. Centered around two main characters, Secret Seduction is sigh-worthy.
Jason has a quiet strength, sense of loyalty and a protective nature that makes you want to find out if he has a brother! The dialogue was very realistic, as were the backgrounds and details of each scene. I was glad to be the proverbial fly on the wall during the hiking scenes, which in spite of it being fiction, made my feet hurt! Do you like romance? A refreshing twist of a plot with characters you can truly root for? Give this one a try! July 30, Publisher: Katie Derby had a simple life. She had always had everything that she wanted, wore designer clothes and drove the best cars.
Sure her parents always seemed to have fights, her mom would fly away to Italy and her dad would go to Alaska. It had always been that way for as long as she could remember but they would always calm down and make up. Never in a million years would she have guessed exactly what had been really been going on and that when that secret was out, it would change her life foreve Katie Derby had a simple life. Never in a million years would she have guessed exactly what had been really been going on and that when that secret was out, it would change her life forever. Jason and Katie had been best friends since they were small children and he saved her drowning at the country club that their moms often frequented.
This was a great spin off book and I will say that while I was able to figure out who the bad guys were in the all of the other books, this one I had no idea and was really caught off guard when it was revealed at the end. I never saw it coming! Secret Seduction is another well written book by Jill Sanders with lots of mystery, intrigue and romance. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Secret Pleasure, which features two of the characters from this book. Secret Seduction starts with Katie getting some really bad news from her mom. She finds out that her father is not really her biological father.
Since she is from a very wealthy family this is big media news. All her so called friends are interviewed by the media which makes Katie feel betrayed. Katie leaves for a trip travelling around Europe and doesn't tell anybody that she is going. Katie and Jason have been best friends since she was eight so he misses her and absolutely needs to find her. Once he does find her, they realize someone is trying abduct her. They have to run from whoever is after Katie and at this time, their true romantic feelings for each other come out.
The characters are well developed so that I felt I knew them. Katie is strong and smart but also a bit odd at times. She did some dumb things but luckily Jason was around to help her out. Jason is protective and loyal to Katie. He handled everything calmly with a quiet strength. I really liked the story line and found it different from others I have read. I thought that Katie and Jason spent too much time in bed and this interrupted the flow of the story for me.
But imagine finding out that the man you have always thought was your father isn't. As a good book should, this novel leaves you both satisfied and wanting more. This novel is well and smoothly written, mixing a well thought out story line with descriptions and narrative that draw you in, allowing you to walk through the world inhabited by the characters. Overall, this was a very cute story that kept me hooked throughout. Please note that I received this novel free of charge from the author in exchange for an honest review.
This was a fun book to read. You easily will fall into liking the characters. Katie has been in love with her best friend Jason since they met when he saved her from when she almost drown when she was 8.
But she has always kept her crush secret until one night she gets drunk at a party and kisses him. He does not return the kiss. The next day they meet for coffee since Jason wants to discuss the kiss while at coffee Katie gets a call that shakes her whole life up. That her father is an Italian business mogul that her that her mother was always in love with. But never told him she was pregnant when she left and went back to her husband. But now the secret is out.
To escape all of it Katie one night takes off leaving everything and everyone behind, or so she thought. That is pretty much the preface. The book begins a year later, Katie has been crisscrossing across Europe living off nothing but her savings. Never contacting her family. But little does she know her best friend Jason has been following her. Then one night he over hears two men discussing a plan to kidnap Katie for ransom. So know he has to protect her. And this is where the fun begins and you get a nice mystery with your romance. And there is some very sexy scenes in this book once the two finally admit to each other that they both love each other.
I read this book in a day. Its a fun quick read. It is predictable in the romance part but I will say you will never guess who the bad guy is that is paying the kidnappers to get rid of Katie and why. I won't spoil that. I think there may have been a book or more ahead of this.
It seems to be a series. Katie has made a mistake she's let her defenses down and showed her feelings to her best friend. When he doesn't reciprocate those feelings she feels miserable. That is until she gets a phone call that devastates her world.
Instead of dealing with life she takes off. How convenient that her family has money. It lets her run around through Europe for over a year. The same money that comes from a family she refuses I think there may have been a book or more ahead of this.
The same money that comes from a family she refuses to talk to. I found this part to be terrible. How can you gallivant around Europe, hopping from country to country with no responsibility and yet not talk to your family to even let them know you're safe. Anyway, back to the story. I'm not so sure I felt this one. I mean, her best friend, Jason happened to be following her when all hell broke loose. I didn't really click with the characters. I mean Katie followed Jason around her entire life. I get there were some feelings from the get go but Jason either didn't want to see them or didn't have them in the beginning.
Still, I didn't like how they came together. That being said the story was not terrible but how many times can the same thing happen to you? Anyway, obviously, there's more going on than we see but it appears as though all is revealed at the end of this one setting up the rest of the series. Anyway, for me this was just an average middle of the road story for me. Secret Seduction by Jill Sanders If you found out today that you were living a lie what would you do?
Ok, better yet if the world found out with you and you had to face it in the public eyes. Jill's mother told her over the phone that her life was about to change. The news was global gossip that left her devastated, so she ran leaving behind everything and everyone that she knew. But her most heartbreaking loss was her best friend Jason, the man she has been in love with all her life. Taking all t Secret Seduction by Jill Sanders If you found out today that you were living a lie what would you do?
Taking all the back roads she traveled all across Europe, until one night she was attacked only to be saved by Jason. Jason's character is very strong and faithful to Jill and come off as her white knight. Where as Jill is the airhead with all the questions, she is traveling a rounding Europe a long, but do not have a clue about safety. If you are in danger if doesn't matter where you sleep!
Her love for Jason help find her inter strength to save her life. Forgiveness is hard to give to someone especially if that person is family, the question becomes can Jill forgive her mother or will she keep running?
Over all with the suspense, action and mix in a little romance it had a good feel to it. I read this in one afternoon, nice and entertaining read I am looking to see where this series goes.. Feb 03, Thom Swennes rated it really liked it Shelves: Friendship is the best prerequisite for love.
This is a truism I can personally attest to. Loose lips sink ships but loose morals can also devastate a family. Katie Derby grew up deep in the shadow of deception and when she finally came into the bright light of truth, it was almost her destruction. She was conceived in Greece when her mother was touring Europe. Her life, as she knew it, was a lie and Friendship is the best prerequisite for love. Her life, as she knew it, was a lie and she felt lost and alone as even her best friends deserted her when this knowledge became public.
After a year of European travel Katie was finally ready for the next step in redefining and reconstructing her life; meeting her BF biological father , Damiano Cardone. That was when her life made a desperate and unexpected twist. Suddenly her life was unexplainably threatened and only thanks to her long-time very best friend Jason she could escape unscathed.
Who wanted her harmed? How long could they stay ahead and safe from this portent of danger? The plethora of suspense and intrigue keeps your eyes nervously glued to the book as the story unfolds. The reader takes a local tour as the two fugitives meander around the Greek countryside, using every conceivable means of conveyance, trying to elude their enemies. This was a fun book.
I read it all pretty much in one setting, so it definitely kept my attention. The fact that they had been best friends since childhood? D I liked their travels throughout Europe as well I currently live in Europe, so that was fun to read about their treks. The biggest problem I had with this was the lack of conflict resolution, or even a good explanation for that matter. And it explains nothing. It made me a tad frustrated if I have to be honest.
It seemed like a tacked on ending to get me to read the next book, which I may in time, but now Another thing that irked me was how at least twice Katie said that she wanted to give up the posh life when she went back home, but when she asks Jason where her stuff is, she laments about losing her Gucci purses. Just didn't make sense. This was a fast-paced fun and sexy adventure.
Sanders brings us right into the action from the word Go with this one. I did enjoy the flashbacks to the childhood relationship between the two characters, building their history as we are whisked along on this high-stakes ride. The chemistry was undeniable, and the plot was intriguing. While I enjoyed learning about their history through the flashbacks, I think I would have preferred an actual scene depicting their relationship at the point of the This was a fast-paced fun and sexy adventure.
While I enjoyed learning about their history through the flashbacks, I think I would have preferred an actual scene depicting their relationship at the point of the kiss at the party right before she gets the call from her mother that changes her life. I would have liked to actually experience the dynamic between them at this point in their relationship, rather than hearing it also in flashback mode.
I think I might have rooted for them more as a couple in the beginning if I'd experienced this interaction first hand. It took me a little while to warm up to the characters, to feel for them and empathize with them because we were thrust right into the action before we got to know them. However by the mid-point I was definitely captivated and very entertained. I really liked the way the ending eluded to the culprit behind the kidnapping and hinted at more trouble to come.
I'm definitely curious to read the next installment. Let me start off by saying I really enjoyed this book. Katie was told some devastating news over the phone by her mother and after a month of trying to deal with it she finally had enough and took off to Europe leaving everything behind except for some clothes.
No Phone, No Computer no way for anyone to get into contact with her. While she was traveling from Country to Country she was attacked by two men. Jason - Katie's best friend -had been following her unbeknownst to her and stepped in a Let me start off by saying I really enjoyed this book. Jason - Katie's best friend -had been following her unbeknownst to her and stepped in and got her away from the men. The story continues with them fleeing from Greece to go to Rome where her family is waiting to meet her. I will not spoil the ending but I will let you know that that they become more then "Just friends" and watching their relationship grow was really sweet.
