Michelle's Reviews > The Seductive One

I was looking forward to Brenna’s story but it quickly turned into a big disappointment for me. I have a problem reading a story when I dislike the 2 main characters. Brenna is a gullible idiot who never learns from her mistakes; nothing seductive at all about this character. She wants a large loan and instead of going to her family members, she approaches a man who she completely screwed over 10 years ago that cost him his relationship with his family. She then signs a loan document for a callable note with no terms other than if Nic wants to call in the $1M loan he can at any time. Over time, she also tells Nic all of the details on her grape purchases & her process and plans. Brenna is a complete moron. The male lead, Nic, isn’t any better: he admits to everyone that his reputation as a ruthless bastard is true and the story shows it as truth. It’s very hard to read about a romance between these two. I gave this one two stars only because there was a decent amount of time we got to spend with other members of the Marcelli family to make it slightly entertaining. Very disappointing book.
