    About this audiobook

    TEMPTATION KNOWS NO BOUNDS . . .

    Undercover agent Sam Hawkins has devoted his life to protecting king and country. So when he receives orders to assassinate a ruthless traitor, he doesn't question his mission. But Sam didn't know his deed had a witness--the beautiful and mysterious betrayer's wife. Now he has no choice but to take her as his prisoner--one he can neither trust . . . nor resist.

    Élise, Lady Dunthorpe, will do anything to escape her powerful captor--including seducing him senseless. She didn't know of her miserable husband's crimes, but she has secrets of her own, secrets that threaten everything she holds dear. With his piercing dark eyes and gentle touch, Sam inflames Élise's deepest desires, but how could she ever trust a man who won't let her go? Caught between the crown he's sworn to serve and the woman he's come to love, Sam will risk his heart--and his very life--to keep her safe.

Although both people have secrets that neither are willing to let go of, they find themselves drawn closer and closer in passion. Will their secrets end it all? You'll have to find out by reading the book for yourself.

      I received a ARC copy through Netgalley and Grand Central Publishing in exchange of a honest review. Sam works for the crown as a agent, to protect it at all costs. He is ordered to kill a traitor, who has plans to murder the crown. So he does his job, and kills the traitor, but his wife he finds, having heard and seen everything. So he has no choice but to kidnap her and keep her secluded. Sam has no idea what Lady Dunthorpe knows, or she is a traitor as well. Elise, has suffered over a decade of being Lord Dunthorpe's wife, and even though she is french, she considers herself more English than french. So when she finds her husband killed, and herself being taken prisoner, she has no idea what fate has in store for her, or Sam's true plans for her. At first Sam questions Elise and the statement she gives, but the longer he spends time with her, he starts to feel drawn to Elise, and feels a desire that he doesn't want to deny. Now Sam and Elise will have to stick together, when a danger surfaces, one that will put them both on the run trying to survive.The Scoundrels Seduction is the third book from the House of Trent Series. Ever since I discovered this author last year, I have been in love with her. The House of Trent series so far has been stimulating and full of adventures. The Scoundrel's Seduction is just what I was looking for in a book. Lately I have been wanting a story I can really dig my hands into, and The Scoundrel's Seduction was perfect for what I needed. There is quite a bit of a espionage element, which is always a treat with regency era romances, but Jennifer Haymore definitely put a delightful twist into the plot, that pulls you in.The Character were exciting, and intense, and full of conflict and variety of dilemma's that ended up becoming more fascinating to the reader. Samson, is illegitimate, but has never felt the lack of affection from his mother or siblings. He has had to work hard for the position he is in, and is dedicated to his country. He is also desperate to find his lost mother. I found Sam a wonderful hero, dashing, courageous, and protective. I love how he treats Elise, and he is one of my favorite characters from the Trent family so far. I really enjoyed his character and how deeply entrenched he is in the story and the series as well. There are many startling secrets revealed in this story that really shocked me, and I had had the most difficult time putting this one down. Now Elise, well at first she seemed weak and didn't have much backbone, but she really came through for me by the end. You see a heroine, that has suffered much and like any normal human being has put herself in a shell to protect herself, but the longer she is with Sam, the more she spreads her wings, and you see her flourish. I really loved seeing her transition from being shy and reserved, to a woman that is willing to go after what she wants and let nothing stand in her way.Overall a outstanding installment, and a story that sizzles from beginning to end. There is quite a bit of steamy interaction in this one, enough to feed a forest fire. The characters are charming, the story is enchanting, and worth every moment. Charmed until the very end!!! LOVED IT!!

      Historical, England Sam Hawkins is an undercover agent that has devoted his life to protecting both his country and king. He doesn’t question his mission even when he is given orders to assassinate a ruthless traitor. Sam didn’t know his deed had a witness though. The betrayer’s mysterious and beautiful wife saw what Sam did. Now he has no choice but to take her and make her his prisoner. A prisoner he can neither resist nor trust. Elise, Lady Dunthorpe is determined to do anything to escape her captor. Even if what she must do is seduce him senseless. She had no idea what her miserable husband had done but she also has secrets of her own. Those secrets threaten everything she holds dear. Sam’s gentle touch and piercing eyes inflame Elise but can she trust the man that won’t let her go? Sam is caught between the crown he is sworn to serve and the woman who has quickly become everything to him, the woman he loves. Sam will risk everything his heart and his life if necessary to keep her safe. This is another great book in a series that is proving to be a very good surprise. The mystery that is woven through the books that keep the books tied together and yet each one holds up on its own. While the books can read as standalone books they are much better read in order as there is so much information and clues that help build the central plot of the books. This story as some great action that moves the story along at a fast pace and will have the reader turning the pages just to see what will happen next. The twists and turns that this one takes makes for a wonderful read. It is nice to see Sam get his happy ever after. This one will also leave readers hungry for more from this world that has been built with each and every book up until now.

      Five Romp Stars!Historical RomanceRelease: May 27, 2014ABOUT THE BOOK:Undercover agent Sam Hawkins has devoted his life to protecting king and country. So when he receives orders to assassinate a ruthless traitor, he doesn't question his mission. But Sam didn't know his deed had a witness—the beautiful and mysterious betrayer's wife. Now he has no choice but to take her as his prisoner—one he can neither trust…nor resist.Élise, Lady Dunthorpe, will do anything to escape her powerful captor—including seducing him senseless. She didn't know of her miserable husband's crimes, but she has secrets of her own—secrets that threaten everything she holds dear. With his piercing dark eyes and gentle touch, Sam inflames Élise's deepest desires, but how could she ever trust a man who won't let her go? Caught between the crown he's sworn to serve and the woman he's come to love, Sam will risk his heart—and his very life—to keep her safe.MY REVIEW:Oh wow! I didn’t expect this story, and I have to say, I am so friggen happy that I found this author. A Scoundrel’s Seduction is the third story in the House of Trent series. Sam is in service for the crown and his latest mission places him in the path of Elise. Sam has a hard life behind him, one that makes him cynical, and all he wants to do is get in, get the job done, then go back to do what he has to for the crown. Meeting Elise changes everything. It strikes something deep, but seeing as he doesn’t believe he deserves anything more, he fights against it. She, of course, is equally untrusting at first….well, because she saw him murder her husband. ;)Ms. Haymore has written a fantastic story and earn herself yet another stalker….myself. The forging of a bond through these two characters is something you won’t forget. Get it today!
