Townsfolk called him devil. For dark and enigmatic Julian, Earl of Ravenwood, was a man with a legendary temper and a first wife whose mysterious death would not be forgotten. Some said the beautiful Lady Ravenwood had drowned herself in the black, murky waters of Ravenwood Pond. Others whispered of foul play and the devil's wrath.
Now country-bred Sophy Dorring is about to become Ravenwood's new bride. Drawn to his masculine strength and the glitter of desire that burned in his emerald eyes, the tawny-haired lass had her own reasons for agreeing to a marriage of convenience. One was vengeance, and in its pursuit she would entangle Julian in a blackmail plot, a duel at dawn, and a dangerous masquerade. The other reason was dearer to her heart, but just as wild a quest: Sophy Dorring intended to teach the devil to love again.

"I've enjoyed all three of Amanda Quick's "S" books: Scandal, Surrender and now Seduction. This one had a lovely heroine, a terrific hero and some wonderful interactions between them. Especially enjoyed the way Sophy always stood up for herself against Julian."

" Just finished reading this again. Straight romance novel. Light reading. Good character development of the main characters. Lacks depth on others. "
— Val, 2/12/2014" Nice and simple, I like it very much but is not a book to become one of my favorites, but I enjoy it. "
— Macarena, 1/28/2014" This is the first book I ever read...it is what got me to really love books and reading "
— Melissa, 1/24/2014" This was ok, but I didn't like Julian. "
— Christine, 1/22/2014" I read this story so long ago, I can't even remember much of it. I just remember it was good enough that I read every single book of Ms. Quick I could get my hands on. "
— ♆, 1/19/2014" 3.5*...Amanda Quick is always light for me... "
— Lucie, 1/1/2014" ok I've decided to go ahead and add my trashy romances to good reads. I really only read this one author for the most part and I've read all of them multiple times. They are juse easy to lose myself in when I don't want to think. "
— Alyssa, 12/22/2013" What I liked about Seduction was the strong female characters who thought it in good character to protect their honor by participating in duels and acting as seconds. Seduction was a fun read. Anne Flosnik did a very good job in telling the story. "
— Vannessagrace, 11/17/2013" I figured out the plot pretty much as soon as the villain was introduced. On top of that, the romance was very flat & I just didn't enjoy this one very much. "
— Jen, 10/14/2013" I love Amanda Quick's books. Although I didn't enjoy this as much as the first one of her's I read, maybe it was because this one was set in a later era! "
— Kimmy, 8/23/2013" Enjoyed this a lot- independent young woman who embarks on marriage to someone who needs to learn to rethink his definition of the ideal wife... Fun read. "
