Seduce by Lexi Buchanan Blog Tour and Giveaway


Synopsis:


Meet Michael, Sebastian, Ruben, Lucien and Ramon McKenzie.

Five hot brothers who are about to meet five equally hot partners.

Book 1 is Michael McKenzie’s story.

Michael is CEO of McKenzie Holdings and has a very bad habit of placing work before all else. His wife, Viv, had died in a car accident, with her current lover, on the way to meet with the divorce attorney’s six years ago. Michael was divorcing her because he’d discovered she’d had a stream of lovers during the course of their marriage. Since her death he’s had no wish to get involved with anyone, until Lily.

Lily, having lost her job at Oakfield Development gains employment at McKenzie Holdings thinking she’s going to work as the Assistant to Dale Roberts, but unbeknown to Lily she has been hired to work as Michael’s assistant. Lily is shocked, and disappointed to realize that the man she’s just been flirting with in the elevator is actually her boss.

Lily and Michael are instantly drawn to each other, but he’s her boss and Lily lives with her boyfriend of seven years. David, her boyfriend, has been acting strange for about five months which has caused Lily to re-evaluate her relationship with him and it comes up short, a lot. She had decided before meeting Michael that she wanted out of her relationship with David, but she has nowhere else to go, so she stays with him for now.

Michael and Lily finally start their relationship, which involves a lot of hot loving and scarves which Lily uses on Michael! Their relationship seems to be heading towards happily ever after, until Lily makes an announcement to Michael, which has him telling her to leave his home. She does, heartbroken, and runs to his brother Lucien.

Excerpt:


Lily POV

“Sebastian, you look hot,” I replied and gave him a hug. He really did. He was wearing a dark grey suit with a black silk shirt and he had all the women from the company drooling. Since he had taken his jacket off, you could tell how tight his abs were, which I was positive he knew.
He grinned. “You eyeing me up?”

“Yep. I’m trying to decide who I need to introduce you to.”

“No, you’re not going to introduce me to….,” he trailed off, “her.”

I looked across and he had gone still, staring at Ramon’s date. “Ah, Sebastian.”

“Who’s she here with?” he asked, still stunned. “Lily, who is that bodacious babe with?”

I snickered. “You did not just call her a bodacious babe? How old are you? Seventeen!”

“Trust me, no horny seventeen year old boy would be thinking of doing what I’m thinking of doing to her.”

“Bodacious!” I still couldn’t get over him using that word.

“Bill and Teds.”

“What?”

“Never mind. You haven’t said who she’s with.”

Crap, he was really taken with her. This wasn’t going to go down too well. “You need to keep your cock in your trousers. She’s here with Ramon.”

I heard a laugh behind us.

Jenn's Review:


I love a book with a good HEAT factor and Seduce had it. It also a great story with good humor and wonderful characters! I am looking forward to future installments!

Lily is in a loveless, passionless relationship with David. It wasn’t always like that and up until 5 months ago things were good. Now the sex they have is quick and dull, and on top of that, Lily is suddenly unemployed. With no one else to turn to, she’s feeling stuck. David has been her support system for the last 7 years and she has nowhere else to go. Well, all that is about to change. She is due to start a new job but decided to keep it from David. She wanted something that was hers and only hers. Dressing the part of successful and sexy, she heads to her new job.

Michael is single, sexy and her new boss. He is also not very trusting of women so that has kept him alone for the last couple years and he is just fine with that. The fact that his wife cheated on him repeatedly changed his whole outlook on relationships. That is until he met Lily on the elevator on her first day of work. They both had no clue that Michael was her new boss. The first impression they had of each other was explosive and there wasn’t a thing they could do about it.

The chemistry they have together is explosive and once Lily finds out the truth about David, she out of there. That leaves Lily and Michael to explore their feelings for each other. But Michael has a problem. He is extremely jealous and all but throws a tantrum when his brothers get close to Lily. He really needs to learn that Lily is not his ex-wife before it’s too late.

This story is written in alternating POVs and I really enjoy that. To me, it helps a story to develop when you can get into both characters’ heads. I also loved the secondary characters! Michael’s family was supportive, for both Lily and Michael. Plus, they weren’t afraid to butt heads with Michael. Especially when he needed to get his head out of his @$$!!! As I mentioned at the beginning, I am looking forward to future installments from Lexi. I need more of the McKenzie brothers!
4.5/5

I can tell you it isn't pleasant travelling in a car with 5 cats in cat boxes in the back. Getting back into the car after the ferry journey to Ireland was the most unpleasant thing we had to do on moving day!!
