I’ve had the pleasure of reading the previous two Jenny Brown books in her Lords of the Seventh House series (“Lord Lightning” and “Star Crossed Seduction”) and I liked both very much. This is Ms. Brown’s third book and it is the Pisces’ turn and out of all three stories, I think I like this one the best.

The above blurb summarizes the story well, so I won’t go into it. Throughout the story Ms. Brown maintains a fast pace and her writing alone will keep you interested and vested in the hero and the heroine as well the plot.

I truly admired the heroine Zoe who was not beautiful at all but sweet, sharp and way too real. She seemingly accepts her faith and yet sets out to carry out a task that would bring about her freedom, or so she thinks.

As for our hero Adam, I truly admired his convictions and determination. He was a man with a single, solitary purpose of accomplishing a task of his own: revenge for the pain done to him nine years before. I thought him perfect for this young woman. They truly personified the notion of opposites attract theory. The read is full of twists and turns; passion and compassion. All in all, wonderful read that will appeal to not just the ‘tortured hero’ lovers, but also to all the ‘ugly duckling’ lovers as well.

You don’t really need to read the other two to keep up with this one, although I highly recommend you do just because the author handles her plots with great care and keeps you entertained throughout her stories.

While, this the Pisces book in "Lords of the Seventh House" series it is not linked to the first two stories but can be read as a stand alone.See," Lord of Lightning" and "Star Crossed Seduction". Filled with mysticism, magic,ancient sorcery, revenge,false beliefs, self-sacrifice, deception,romance,mystery and love.Follow Lord Ramsay and Zoe on an adventure of passion,danger and a struggle of good vs evil. Zoe's virginity is needed for an ancient rite,so a seduction is in order.Fast paced with strong and engaging characters and an intriguing plot. A dark tale that proves love can overcome tragedy and vengeance is not always what it is supposed to be. Passion and love can bind two people together.
