Book Description:
Saving her is going to be one of the toughest jobs of his
life, because instead of his mind ruling his heart, his heart is ruling his
mind.
Security expert and ex-Navy Seal Kent Lloyd steps onto British soil wishing he was anywhere else. But when Jasmine Owen refuses to visit her sisters in Washington, giving them one lame excuse after another, even Kent knows something is seriously wrong.
The last person Jasmine expects or wants to see at her door is the super sexy man who walked away from her bed after one wild night. But when her sisters suspect something is wrong, they send Kent to check on her. Jasmine hasn't told her family about the stalker who's making her life a living hell and has her in a constant state of fear, but it looks like she might not be able to keep the truth from them any longer.
Both Kent and Jasmine agree on one thing—they want him to leave England and return to the US as soon as possible. However, he refuses to leave until she's safe, which means he has to track down her stalker first, and Jasmine has no clue who it is or why the person is obsessed with her.
As Kent struggles to solve the mystery, he also struggles to keep Jasmine at a distance, which is proving to be difficult. The woman stirs his toughened soul, and if he has to spend too much time around her she just may squeeze her way into his heart.

Musings
I received Seduced by his Desire from the
author for an honest review. I read the first two books in the Lost
Sisters trilogy and enjoyed them immensely. Each book is about one of
the triplets who were adopted shortly after their birth. This story was about
Jasmine, the sister raised in England. Jasmine only made very brief cameos in
the first books, so I knew the least about her.
Jasmine Owen is a successful business woman, owner
of Panty-Luscious, a Lingerie boutique in Chester, England. When she starts
getting anonymous phone calls and mysterious texts threatening the lives of her
sisters and their families, so isolates herself, refusing all invitations, even
the recent one to attend her latest niece’s birth.
When Kent Lloyd is asked to fly to England to check
on Jasmine, he is reluctant to go. He’d had a one night stand with the woman at
his partner’s wedding to her sister, Rose. His behavior had been less than
gentlemanly, sneaking out on her as she slept after their passionate encounter,
but he can hardly refuse without giving all away.
Sparks fly when he sees the fiery red-head again.
Can he keep her safe from the stalker, while keeping his heart protected from
the green-eyed temptress, or will he succumb to her allure?
Seduced
by His Desire is jam-packed with plenty of action and
suspense from start to finish. It also has a lovely romance between Kent and
Jasmine. Both characters have loved and lost in the past, so neither of them is
anxious to enter into a romantic relationship. The sexual tension between the
pair sizzles on every page, and the love scenes are hot, hot, hot, to say the
least.
Again, Ms. Carnie has penned another plot-driven
story with a surprising villain and a great many twists to the plot, which kept
me glued to my Kindle. The story is very fast paced and can easily be read in
one sitting. Her suspenseful scenes are very well-written and kept me on the
edge of my seat.
I would have liked to see just a bit more character
development in this book. I never felt as if I got into either character’s minds
as much I would have liked to, especially Jasmine. I would have enjoyed
learning more about her relationship with her ex-husband. There were definitely
clues, but there just wasn’t enough information given to truly understand why
that relationship fell apart.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Seduced by His Desire.
Ms. Carnie truly writes exciting tales filled with emotion and intrigue. I
highly recommend this book and the other two in the series. Anyone who loves
romantic suspense will relish the Lost Sisters Trilogy. Happy reading!
