Seduce Me - December 2001

Seduced by a stranger...

Lawyer Mallory Sinclair wants a partnership—almost as much as she wants fellow attorney Jack Latham. Unfortunately, she's worked so hard at making it in a man's world, that nobody's aware that she's even a woman—a very sensual woman. But Jack's about to find out, big time. Because Mallory's about to send him an invitation he can't refuse...

Jack can't believe it! Underneath Mallory's power suits lies a temptress—one determined to seduce him! Not that Jack's complaining... Only, this new Mallory is so uninhibited, so blatantly sexy, Jack can't help wondering if he's sleeping with a stranger, instead of the colleague he's known for years. Still, he'd like their liaison to continue—if only he knew which woman would end up sharing his bed...

Reviews

"Carly Phillips sizzles yet again in her newest Blaze. The characters are all too believable—the career driven Mallory who fairly boils under the surface of her no nonsense clothing and demeanor and the hardened attorney whose past and job remind him daily about the perils of matrimony. The sexual tension continues to burn even after the couple falls into bed together. This book delivers enough drama, tension, and sensuality for any two books! And Carly Phillips continues to deliver as well."

"Carly Phillips is so naughty but nice with EROTIC INVITATION [SEDUCE ME]. It's a book that gives you a glow inside out and shows off her extraordinary talent as a writer. Brava! Don't miss this honey of a book."   ~Suzanne Coleburn, Belles and Beaux of Romance

"EROTIC INVITATION [SEDUCE ME] is a sizzling voyage of intrigue, discovery, and romance. Mallory and Jack are engaging, likeable characters, well-drawn and fully fleshed, with whom readers can readily relate. Accept Ms. Phillips's EROTIC INVITATION [SEDUCE ME]! This passionate, sensual, and poignant tale is a keeper and may well be a contender for best short contemporary romance of the year."
   ~HOST EBK Susan, AOL Romance Fiction Forum

"Charming, romantic, wild and sensual—these are just a few words to describe EROTIC INVITATION [SEDUCE ME] by Carly Philips. What a sensuous journey drawn by this exceptional author. True to life, harsh feelings must be overcome by these characters who just may have been seeking their own love after all. The story was complete with sexual tension and release as any great Harlequin Blaze should be. It was purely a magical journey as Jack and Mallory's desire for one another consumes them—in creative and extremely imaginative ways, I might add."
   ~Pam Tullos, Romance Reader on the Run

"The sparks fairly leap across the pages as these two protagonists challenge one another, and readers are in for a spectacular treat of stimulating dialogue and fiery passion."
