:: Susanna's Seduction

Susan Brennon never expected that running an errand for her future sister-in-law would land her a spur-of-the-moment date.  When Michael leads her down a sensual path of seduction, she takes on the sexy Italian full-throttle, all the while keeping her heart under tight guard.  Every person she's formed a close attachment to has moved on.  She doesn't expect Michael to be any different.

From the moment he touches Susan, Michael Piccoli wants her. But as their relationship grows more physical, he finds that for the first time in his life he desires more than sex from a woman-he wants the whole package with Susanna.  Michael's determined to break through the rigid hold Susanna has on her emotions. He'll do anything to reach her, even if that means taking their relationship to a whole new level.

Spotlight on the Hero

I'm the kind of man who has always gone after the women I want, head on.  But from the moment I met you, I knew you were different.  With you...I wanted to take my time exploring all the facets that make up Susanna Brennon.

Yet even when you're up close and personal, you still hold me at arm's length, keeping a part of yourself tightly locked away.  That's not the way I operate.  I won't let you skim the surface with me. I'm determined to know everything about you, and I'll be aggressive and inventive in my methods in order to unlock all your hidden layers.

                                                                                                                 Owner,
Piccoli's Restaurant

5 Stars! "WOW!!  Patrice Michelle has an amazing grasp on her craft, writing true to life characters. Susan was a very down to earth, loving woman who plans to be "Aunt Susan" to her brother's children; not expecting to ever fall in love herself. A total hunk, Michael has always worked hard for everything he has. He wants Susan and plans to work just as hard to get her. I found both Susan and Michael to be realistic, intriguing people. I felt totally connected to them both. Once they begin their relationship and have sex, the book explodes! They had amazing, engrossing and incredibly arousing sex.  Together, they were a beautiful and endearing couple whose love story touched my heart. There are several secondary characters who were fun to read and had important positions in the plot. Susan' brother and his fiancée, her elderly neighbor and dog; all were perfect. Writing a story about love, Ms. Michelle's plot was seamless, without a single miscue. This is another winner from Ms. Michelle."

"...Susanna's Seduction was everything the blurb led me to believe, and more.  I was treated to a wonderful and steamy love story and I found myself wanting to grab Susan and make her see that Michael loved her.  I got tickled when Ms. Michelle used humor for the elevator scenes concerning Susan's neighbor and I found myself laughing out loud.  I thought the sexual scenes very erotic and steamy and in fact, could have broken a sweat when I read them had my air conditioner not been blowing full blast. 

 

Patrice Michelle hooked me with this one.  There was nothing about Susanna's Seduction that I didn't like and I can't wait to reread it over and over."

5 ANGELS! ~ "...I fell in love with Michael right from the beginning of this book. There is something about him that drew me into his character. He is very trustworthy, loyal and of course sexy as all get out. Michael and Susanna really connect in this story. In a lot of romances the guy is so worried about not falling for the woman that you do not like him because you know how the story will go; this one is not like that at all. Susanna fights on this one more so than Michael does. If you like a story where both people feel the story then I'd advise you to read this story. Patrice Michelle does a fantastic job of bringing these two together."                                             ~ Reviewed by Missy at Fallen Angel Reviews

4.5 Ribbons! ~ "...SUSANNA'S SEDUCTION is glorious and tender romance at its best. I really loved how this book just focused on the relationship between the protagonists and developing them as lovers, friends, and individuals. Patrice Michelle did not need to throw in other secondary plots to keep me engaged. Susan and Michael do that very well on their own. The romance and personal growth in the relationship becomes the focal of this novel. There are of course plenty of sexy love scenes to heat up the pages, but the thoughtful and tender moments between the characters provide plenty of heat also. Ms. Michelle has created a compelling love story that is sensual and hearty. It reaches the heart through its characters, its poignancy and its honesty about love and what you must compromise sometimes in order to find happiness.

4 Kisses! ~ "...Susanna's Seduction is a beautiful love story. The characters have true to life issues to deal with before they can together but seem to embrace each other, flaws and all. The sexual chemistry will ignite the pages of this book and leave you with 2nd degree burns if you are not prepared and careful. Patrice Michelle creates wonderful characters, witty banter, familiar bonds that are evident in this Italian family, with sex to spare. Susanna's Seduction will not leave you wanting, except maybe for an Italian of your own."                                                         ~ Reviewed by Tara at TwoLips Reviews

SUSANNA'S SEDUCTION is a spicy romantic tale.  When Susan's parents died, she stepped in to raise her younger brother, and between that and her determination to succeed, she's been dubbed "Sensible Susan" by her brother.  Even her appointment as maid-of-honor was made because of her reliability rather than closeness to the bride-to-be.  She much prefers Michael's seductive voice calling her Susanna instead of Sensible Susan, and the playful, charming man seduces more than just her body.   A sweet yet sensual tale, SUSANNA'S SEDUCTION should not be missed.

4 cups!  Susanna's Seduction is a sweet romance. Patrice Michelle creates genuine
characters with real emotions and charismatic dialogue that keeps the reader absorbed
with every page. The heated chemistry between Michael and Susan is so stirring. Their
lives made me feel so much a part of the story. The upscale Italian restaurant, with the
handsome Michael as owner, enhances an ambience that can be felt in this fashionable
read. This is one story that is a winner in my book."

"...Every date, starting with the rehearsal dinner for the wedding and all the dates that follow just melted my heart.  I especially liked the way that Michael was seducing Susan into his life, not just seducing her into making love.  From the time they share together to the passion of their love making I felt each moment in the book bring out the desire to have this for myself.


This story just stole my heart and brought out a passionate side of me that wants to experience everything it had to offer.  I hope that Patrice Michelle will continue with the Piccoli family as Michael is the oldest of the brothers and it would be interesting to see what she has planned for the rest of the Piccoli men.  It would be a delicious discovery if she did continue with each of their stories.  Susanna's Seduction was a dream of a book and I enjoyed each moment of  Michael's seduction of Susanna.  Don't miss this positively sensual journey." ~ Reviewed by Judy King at E-E.com
