Temptation and Seduction by L.M. Mountford – Review by Angela Hayes

Temptation and Seduction by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Temptation and Seduction by L.M Mountford is a collection of 6 short stories that range from friends to lovers, a mafia princess’ adventures, a paranormal college romp, a taboo/forbidden story, and tales of temptation.
This is a very quick and easy read and I think because of the type of story this is and the fact that each ‘book’ in the collection is so short, it’s one you can enjoy when your reading time is limited because you can easily read one or more of the ‘books’ in under an hour, so you can pick it up and put it down, without feeling like you are left hanging.
I really wanted to like this book so much more than I did. But there isn’t a lot of depth, or character development to the storyline- because they are so short. I would have much preferred to read them as ‘full-length’ novels instead. But if you like your stories with less depth and more titillating and ribald content, then this is the collection for you.
The collection contains:

Just once
Faye and Terry have been friends since they were young children. Faye has feelings for Terry and would love to be more than friends. Little does she realise that Terry feels the same way, but he’s worried about destroying their friendship, AND he has a girlfriend. Faye finally throws caution to the wind, taking matters into her own hands- because just once she wants to know what it would be like to more than just his friend. What happens. You have to read the story to find out.

Valentine Misadventure
Sophie’s a mafia Princess. Her father is the Boss. Luke is her bodyguard. It’s Valentines night. So, what happens when her father’s right hand man shows up. There’s an element of danger to this story. What does their Valentine’s have in store for them? Dive in to find out.

Play Time
James is a college student, who has a paranormal experience that could cost him dearly. His encounter with the sexy new student, Timandra, takes an unexpected and dangerous turn. There is definitely more to the school, and the story than meets the eye. Will he survive this new ordeal? Will he find a way to survive? An intriguing premise.

Stepdaddy’s Bad Girl
Eric is determined to subdue his rebellious stepdaughter, and he thinks he know exactly how to get her to submit. But with her feisty attitude, it won’t be so easy. This is a taboo story, with violent encounters, dominance, and elements of BDSM- it really made me a little uncomfortable to read it. Don’t get me wrong, I love taboo stories, dark romance, and stories of ‘submission’ (my kindle content will attest) – but this was more like a really bad porno from a very lecherous point of view- and so I found myself a little disgusted at what I was reading, and didn’t find it erotic at all. I think if it was worked over and expanded, and we were given backstories and the time to invest in the characters- this story could be quite a good taboo read.

Sweet Temptations
Richard who is married with a lovely wife and young child- finds himself tempted by his pretty young babysitter. She has a crush on him, and is very ‘flirty’- so he is having very lustful thoughts. Will the temptation be too much to resist?

Sweet temptations (The Boss’s Daughter)
We catch up with Richard again, who is battling temptation once again. This time in the form of his Boss’s Daughter? Will he succumb?

Thank you, L.M Mountford!
