Seduced

I loved loved Cameron and Natalie (and Crissy’s story). Natalie is 34, a chef, a recent transplant to the New York city, and a single mother. Cameron is a sous chef, a 24 year old virgin and determined to find the perfect woman to lose his virginity to and find his forever with. When they meet at an unfortunate insect cooking class Cam thinks he may have found the one. Until the next morning when Natalie turns out to be his new boss who has a no fraternization policy. But the chemistry and the draw between them is too much to ignore fate and not to continue the swoony journey to their HEA. The book has a little bit of everything - sweet moments, steamy scenes, strong friendships, laughs, painful pasts, light danger, and all the heart squeezing love. Experiencing the journey of Cameron and Natalie as they fall in love and work through their individual issues, especially Natalie, gave me all the feels - you will laugh, cry, swoon, grind your teeth, cheer, get a little anxious, and happy sigh. This story includes three dimensional characters who grow, witty dialogue, and an engaging storyline with light angst. And Chrissy was a wonderful and integral addition to the story rather than a flimsy story prop. She’s simply the best T Rex. This is a standalone story and can be enjoyed without reading the other books in the series but do yourself a favor and read them. They’re all fantastic. I am excited to read what happens for Jess, the final virgin roommate. I willingly reviewed an early copy of this book.

Seduced by Lili Valente was a flirty, swoony age gap romance that put the biggest smile on my face. I am loving Lili's Virgin Diaries series, and have been anticipating Cam's book since the start! I love that Cam falls for not only his new boss but that she is an older woman and a single mom. Even though Cam is a virgin, he seems so much older with such a kind and caring heart! I love his passion for his job as a chef, and his devotion and admiration for Natalie and Crissy! Natalie was a strong, brave heroine who as head chef in a male-dominated field and a dedicated mother to Crissy proved she was capable of having it all with Cam and keeping her little family safe. Cam and Natalie also have this instant magnetic attraction that becomes a little bit forbidden, but the temptation is too strong, and once they get together all the sparks fly! Overall, I loved this book! If you are a fan of an age gap virgin romance with a touch of suspense, a hot studly sous chef, a fierce boss lady mom

Sweet and heat are what comes to mind when reading this tasty story about two chefs that have just the right ingredients for a winning combination! I loved Cam's vulnerability as much as his inner strength, couldn't have made a better match for Nat if you COULD build him in a lab. Just enough humor and suspense to balance them out, I could read about Crissy's antics all day, can't wait to see more of the rest of the crew in future books!
