I like this story

I really liked this story. Suzanne Rand-Lyons and Rick Gordon had a brief relationship, when Suzanne was 18 yrs old. Due to the fact they came from different social classes, they were torn apart and Suzanne married Wallace Lyons. Wallace was from the right social background, but he was a womanizer so Suzanne eventually divorced him and moved away. Now she is back to settle her father's estate and his debt. There is only one man who is willing to help her out of her destitute state, but he has his own agenda. Rick set out to get revenge on Judge Rand (Suzanne's father) and marrying Suzanne is the final step in achieving his goal. There's one problem though, Rick still has strong feelings for Suzanne. Suzanne agrees to marry Rick and become a mother to his young son. She sees this not only as a way of resolving her father's debt, but also it is an opportunity for her to fulfill her dream of being a mother. There's only one problem, it may already be too late to protect her heart. She remembers her mother telling her the way to seduce a man with her words. These are not real words of seductions because it not about sex talk, but more about being loyal, supportive and building your man up when he is feeling down. I think word of seductions was more of a metaphor, because it is actually her actions and not words that were seductive to Rick. I really enjoy this book and there was even one part that bought tears to my eyes, which is not easy to do.

So Much Story Packed into One Small Book

Not a lot of seduction or intense heat in this book but the storyline was surprisingly promising with great depth. Socialite Suzanne Rand has returned to sell her family home after slinking out of town from a bad marriage and a tell all book about the small knit community. She's destitute and the only one aware and that can help her is bad boy Rick Gordon who in spite of everyone's low opinion of him has done well for himself. Suzanne and Rick through his young son Luke develop a family bond while battling drama with Rick's mom and wacky cousin along with blackmail and the prejudices from the bitter town who feels betrayed by Suzanne's book. A very well written Peyton Place type book that I enjoyed very much.

WORDS OF SEDUCTION

I LOVED THIS BOOK AND SUZANNE AND RICK'S STORY WAS GREAT BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT SOCIAL ECONOMIC CLASSES AND TRUE LOVE. IT SHOWED NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN LIFE; SOMEONE WILL LOVE YOU.

Reunited

Words of Seduction is an emotional and HEARTWARMING journey...with an INTRIGUING cast of characters...and little Luke is just ADORABLE...Ms. Girard keeps me turning the pages to discover IF Rick and Suzanne will make it with all the secrets, lies, misunderstandings and the small-minded townspeople CONSTANTLY getting in their way (past and present)...a TOUCHING read.

Words of Seduction

This story was amazing. It had it all from jealousy, spousal abuse, drama, love and a lot of misunderstandings. I could not put this book down until I finished it today. It reminded me of the old saying that you can't judge a book (or in this case a person) by it's cover. Great story!
