A moonlit angel--that's what Harrison Payne sees when he wanders onto the balcony of his luxury Colorado resort. The former pro quarterback knows next to nothing about the sensuous, intriguing stranger basking in the night air, except that he wants to know her much, much better. Discovering that Cherisse Washington is the mother of a promising young skier he's agreed to sponsor is a stroke of luck--and learning that Cherisse's ex is determined to get back in her life is an unwanted setback. But all's fair in love--and Harry intends to use every seductive means available to win the woman he knows belongs in his life forever....
Mothers everywhere understand what it is like to give 150 percent to support their offspring in their endeavors while working at a fulltime career outside of the home and another one inside the home, particularly when doing so without the avid support (moral, financial or otherwise) from the fathers. Critical to that survival is a support system generally known as family, particularly grands. The grands become the hub of the universe and the single parent and offspring revolve around that hub. That real life dynamic is so beautifully recounted in Seduced by Moonlight. We all know these people. A supportive mother, hardworking daughter and a granddaughter involved in what maybe an exciting career track. This is such a universal story in the Afro-Am community and it takes a literary artist like Janice Sims to tell this story on every level. On the surface, Seduced is another fabulous Janice Sims novel that lifts our spirits and takes us away to wonderful locations and new experiences. However, the astute avid reader understands what Ms. Sims real messages are about . . . real life among the masses.

Ex-pro football player, Harry Payne and nurse, Cheri Washington meet one moonlit night on the balcony at the Colorado resort Harry owns. There was instant attraction but both went their separate ways. By chance they meet again, a week later, when Harry agrees to sponsor Cheri's daughter, Danielle in a quest for the Olympics. Charlie Washington, Cheri's ex-husband and Danielle's father, returns in their lives with plans of his own - getting his family back. But Harry wasn't having it. This is a very passionate love story about two people being seduced by the moonlight... if you are a hopeless romantic; I highly recommend this book to you. I loved it. It is definitely one I plan to read again and again. Another job well done Janice.
