Seven-Year Seduction

... Show More

Connor Riordan was the last Person she wanted to walk down the aisle with...

Even if it was only at her brother's wedding. It was too painful a reminder of Beth Curtis's girlhood fantasies, featuring none other than Connor himself. That crush had culminated in one night of passion and seven years of bitterness; and even now, Beth's anger warred against her attraction toward Connor. Still, there was too much history--too many secrets--that would prevent her from ever loving him again.

But when a storm strands the two together, Beth is in for a surprise. Connor has a secret of his own. He plans on seducing Beth--a seduction seven years in the making...

About the author

USA Today bestselling author Heidi Betts is the daughter of an Arabian sheik and a Las Vegas showgirl, as well as the heiress to the Chocolate is Better Than Sex Candy Company fortune. Because of this, she eats chocolate in all its many delicious forms for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and in-between snacks . . . without ever gaining an ounce on her perfect five-foot-nine, size zero figure.

Each and every one of her breathtaking, award-winning novels has been adapted to film and gone on to become a phenomenal box office smash, featuring such mega-stars as Hugh Jackman and Sandra Bullock, Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts, and Harrison Ford and Charlize Theron.

Heidi readily admits that she is only able to write such passionate love stories because of her real-life happily-ever-after romance with superstar actor Dwayne Johnson, who makes every day a fairy tale. When she's not writing or making hot, toe-curling love with her “Rock” of a husband, Heidi can often be found riding naked on horseback (a la Lady Godiva) along the beaches of Malibu or hobnobbing with the rich and famous on Martha's Vineyard.

If you'd like to experience your own perfect, idyllic life just like Heidi Betts, be sure to take the little purple pill. (Not the red one. Never the red one.)

I really liked this book about Connor and Beth's past romance being rekindled seven years later. It starts off in the past or the begining of Connor and Beth's love life. They are at the hometown highschool football game cheering on a victorious win when it is made clear that Beth has had a crush on Connor for years. Even if he is five years older than her, the same age as her older brother, and her older brother's best friend. After the game both of them go to a popular burger joint to get food and decide to go to Makeout point. But not to makeout, obviously, hmm. But to look at the scenery, talk and what not. Right! Of course, after talking a good bit one of them makes a move and they hook up. Now the interesting part is that after Connor takes her home he doesn't contact her again. Finito! Done. Wam Bam thank you ma'am! Beth moves on, graduates college, starts a job and lives away from home. She never forgives Connor and never really goes home because she would rather avoid him at all costs. Seven years later her older brother is getting married and Beth must attend. So does Connor. Sparks ignite when the two meet again. But Beth holding unto her hostility of Connor treats him coldly.

i was super bored and had no network so i decided i’d be a perfect time to read this book, but I was very much disappointed. This book was very rushed and low-key boring. I feel like every other book has this exact plot line and it’s just so cliché but other than that, it was OK.

I found a diamond in my TBR stack... a FANTASTIC book that, to me, was not a typical SD. No siree. It was way more than I even imagined. Boy is girl's older brother's best friend, like one of the family, and girl has the hots for boy in high school. After a game one night girl and boy grab something to eat, go park and eat, then act on their attractions and have sex. Girl is thinking boy is just as enamored as she is, but boy never calls. Seven years later... girl is home for her brother's wedding, and boy is the best man. Girl and boy dance at wedding, and boy's live-in girlfriend(LIG) at the time sees there's more than meets the eye and confronts boy. Girl is the reason why LIG and boy aren't married but rather only living together, she sees it plain as day and breaks it off. Boy doesn't feel so bad because he knows it's the truth. Boy gets kicked out of and needs to find a place to stay, so girl's older brother/boy's best friend says he can stay at his place while he and the new wife are on their honeymoon. Girl gets slobbering drunk because of boy and their past, trying to forget it all. Girl wakes up the next morning goes into the kitchen and sees boy standing in her brother's kitchen. Heh heh. Sparks fly in more ways than one, and at first she wants to leave but then ends up staying. They spend time together, get their freak on, resolve the past. Girl leaves back to job in LA, boy realizes he's in love with her. Boy talks with best friend, best friend/girl's brother tells him to go for it. Boy tracks down girl in LA, declares his love, proposes, she accepts, wants to move back home, and they live happily ever after. SIGH. Lovely. One I highly recommend.

Seven years ago Beth Curtis lost her virginity to her brother's best friend, Connor Riordan. Five years older, Beth had been crushing after him since she turned 13. But after that one night, she never heard from Connor again. Focusing on her schooling, Beth finished law school and moved to LA and become a top lawyer, only coming home when it was a must. Her brother's wedding was one of those 'must' times. Having to come face to face with Connor brought back painful memories that she's been trying to put behind her. Incidentally, both Beth and Connor end up staying at her brother's house while he is on his honeymoon. While stuck together they start working on a project, go out on the town, and finally give into the passion that has been there for years, but afterwords, Beth has a secret pain that she finally tells Connor.

Seven-Year Seduction by Heidi Betts is a fairly quick read, a great choice for those with limited reading time. Ms. Betts has delivered a well-written book. I especially liked the characters in this story. Beth and Connor's tale is loaded with drama, humor and spice. I enjoyed reading Seven-Year Seduction and look forward to reading more from Heidi Betts in the future. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
I read a print copy of this book.

Tiene una linda historia, un amor de juventud y un reencarnación posterior que lleva 7 años esperando latente que en cuanto se vuelven a ver cara a cara, resurge de las cenizas trayendo consigo un pasado doloroso pero una perspectiva de futuro mucho mejor.
