ARC Review: High Seduction by Vivian Arend

“HIGH SEDUCTION is full of adrenaline of all varieties!” ~Under the Covers

I have always thought the general idea of this series is wonderful and refreshing.  We have the search and rescue world, which is not as popular is romance books, and that can give a good boost to the interest of the story.  HIGH SEDUCTION is full of adrenaline of all varieties!  Some I wasn’t quite expecting.

Erin has been part of the Lifeline search and rescue crew for a while.  She’s a great chopper pilot and loves the new life she’s built for herself in Banff.  Except that her past has come to shake things up.  Specifically the man she ran from years ago.  I love second chance at romance stories!

Timothy is a paramedic and the one man Erin had a serious relationship with in college.  They were young, they were both exploring their wants and desires.  Which happen to include BDSM then, and some of it had sent Erin running scared.  Now Tim wants her back and he’s willing to do anything he can to get her.

I wasn’t expecting the BDSM aspect of this book.  Ms. Arend, as usual, can deliver a pretty hot story.  But even with all the background information on them as a couple before, and the fact they were taking things slow…. It just didn’t feel like it developed enough for me to see where they ended up so quickly.  Trust being a major aspect of a BDSM relationship, I was hoping to see more of that developing.

However, I enjoyed the plot a lot with the twists and turns and all the action!  It definitely amped that up from the previous book.  I just couldn’t connect with some of the elements in this story as much as I would’ve liked.  All that aside, this was still a very enjoyable read.  Ms. Arend always delivers top quality writing and entertaining, even though I don’t think this is the best by her.

I am, as always, anxious to see where this series will go next and hopefully we will see more of Timothy’s friend.
