Great mystery/suspense plus a sexy romance!

STORY (erotica) - The Perfect Gentlemen series has been my introduction to the genre of erotica, and I checked it out more for curiosity's sake than anything else. Yes, it's erotic, but what I like best about this series is the story that runs behind the romances. The PGs are all highly successful men in Washington, including United States President Zack Hayes. There are mysterious deaths, threats, etc., which all seem to revolve around Zack and an elusive Russian woman who served as his childhood nanny.

The romance in this book involves Connor, a lethal CIA agent who lives in the shadows and does the nation's dirty work to keep us all safe. And then there's Lara, who drove me crazy. She is a Bohemian goody-goody who runs a website called Capitol Scandals in Washington. If there had been a different female lead in this story, I would have rated it five stars like I did Book 1. (Seriously, trying to make her dog a vegetarian?????) At any rate, their relationship is a case of opposites attracting, then repelling, then attracting again. And of course, Connor ignites Lara into a vixen in the bedroom. Every time something dangerous happens they get turned on. Whatever.

PERFORMANCE - The dreamy voice of Kaleo Griffith makes the sheet scenes even hotter! Love him!

OVERALL - Recommended for women who enjoy romances but are not easily offended by lots of explicit sex and sexual language. I would say there's probably at least an hour of this 14-hour book that's spent in the sack. The story stands alone as far as the romance, but the mystery continues from Book 1, runs through this book, and will continue into at least Book 3. I recommend starting with Book 1 -- and you will love it. (No whiny stupid Lara, for one thing).

Lara Ruined It.

Normally I can get past a naïve, sort of stupid heroine. This girl, however, makes me absolutely crazy. She is so naïve about life and how politics work, especially for someone who theoretically has a POLI SCI DEGREE and her father is a senator. Most of her dialogue leaves me wanting to scream "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Then she has the gall to get offended when people don't take her site seriously after she prints crap like articles about the size of the president's junk? The website is literally called 'Capital Scandals". No one serious about politics is going to take that seriously. She also bases her theories on unsubstantiated facts from strange sources. When she even knows who her source is, she freely admits that it's people like estranged wives, tossed away mistresses, and bitter staff. How are those reliable sources for anything other than gossip?

I also can't stand the way she judges people who are not vegan and even makes her dog go on a vegan diet and then wonders why he's so upset all the time, only to calm down after finally being given meat. Dogs are carnivores. It's not optional. I'm as liberal as they come, but this bitch is verging on crazy hippie.

Basically, she is the definition of a spoiled, naïve, rich white girl who thinks she can get people to pay attention to her by stirring the pot but not really understanding the nuances of life.

I'm not the biggest fan of Connor either, but he's nothing compared to Lara. He seems to just brood and sort of feel sorry for himself. This story could have been so much better if the heroine wasn't as annoying. The first book was great, and I'm hoping the rest are more like that one.

Narrator, on the other hand, was amazing. Kaleo Griffith could read me the phonebook and I'd be happy.

Lead female most annoying woman in the world.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Maybe. Depends on the friend. Fairly racy in places.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The story behind the male friends is great, quite well developed and they seem like entertaining guys with lots of potential for future stories. The least interesting, most annoying character of all time is Lara. Why do these books create such wimpy, whiny, inexperienced, corny and ridiculous women?

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Yes pretty well. The female impersonations a little Mrs Doubtfire-ish, and some of the Russian accents not so great, but overall ok.

Did Seduction in Session inspire you to do anything?

Hardly. Well maybe write a book with a normal woman lead.

Any additional comments?

If you like strong, good looking men turned to mush by whiny, annoying twits, this will hit the mark.

OMG!! This book is so good, it does NOT disappoint

I am LOVING this series, it has the perfect level of suspense, mystery and romance. Surprisingly, the heroine in this book did not get on my last nerves, yes she was naïve as hell, but she was not unreasonable. I like how the characters are developed and how they all make appearances between books. I could not stop listening, and a large portion of that is due to the narrator. I tip my hat to you Kaleo Griffith, he did an amazing job! His voice is absolutely sexy, I think I am going to put him right up there with Aiden Snow, and that's saying something. All in all, if you want romance, mystery and suspense with Alpha males, and women who desperately need saving then this is the book for you. It is TOTALLY worth the credit!!! Thanks Shayla and Lexi!

Wow, another very powerful story

These ladies can sure write well together. The main mystery they have woven thru these stories plus the side mysteries keep you guessing. However, the chemistry between the two lovers is out of this world hot & sexy & heart wrenching at times.

Love this

I love this book but I love it when shayl a black and lex I blame write book they are all great. I am ready for the next one.

Love, mystery, friendship at it’s finest. Can’t wait to keep up with the friends to see what happens next

#THANKUNEXT

#Thankunext please!!!!! It just keeps getting better with each book!!! Never read a series that each book is do long and it keeps you on the edge..laughing, crying, scared, and then relieved. WOW!

Quite the story!

The Perfect Gentlemen are a crazy-tight band of brothers who act more like a family than most families. Enter Laura Armstrong, a flower-child, wide eyed, journalist that runs a "tabloid" web site called Capital Scandals. When Connor Sparks, one of the Perfect Gentlemen, is sent to protect her and learn her secrets, he gets more than he bargained for....and so does she. Nice story-crafting and steamy sex scenes in addition to a great suspense story.
