Seductive Kiss by Francis Ray
Dianne is a top model with her familys agency who have offices all
over the world. She is in NY for a week, after a shoot to meet
with the new CEO and she starts up a relationship with her long
time best girlfriends brother who is a lawyer, Alex, and he's always loved
her but never told her. He's always been there for her.
Things are going on with the business since her grandfather passed
away and she hopes to find out and get them fixed. She's also
designed a line for the agency for years.
The meeting did not go as planned and she took several days to
find out what she really wanted to do with her life, as she had gotten
fired.
She did her research and knew she'd be great making her new career.
The sad thing to me through all this is how her parents treated her
when she was younger and in her adult life. It was all about them, so sad.
Money is more important to them than anything.
Wonderful there are more in this series, awesome read! ( )

Dianna Harrington is the spokesmodel for her family's fashion empire started by her grandfather. She wears the best clothes, goes to the best parties and is exposed to all the right people. So, you would think that her life is happy and fulfilled, but it isn't. Dianna has had a very lonely childhood and life. Her parents cared more about themselves, the limelight and maintaining that lifestyle than being loving doting parents. Dianna's relationships and self esteem have taken a beating because of this.

Alex Stuart is the brother of Dianna's BFF who she's had a secret crush on forever. She trust Alex and he's been a comfort and beacon of strength for her when needed. Many situations occur where Dianna needs and relies on Alex's support. During these situations they grow very close, challenging Diana to be strong and tenacious to finally stand up for herself to get the love and attention she desires and deserves.

I enjoyed this story and the love that continued to grow between Alex and Dianna. This story again shows the saying that "everything that glitters isn't gold". One can have everything and still have nothing. It was hard to read how low Dianna's parents were willing to go to save themselves. How many times could they throw their own daughter under the bus? Read this story, you'll enjoy it.

I’m Coming Out

Supermodel Dianne Herrington appears to have it all. As the face of her own fashion line within her family’s mega fashion house, she is recognized worldwide and has the world readily available to her. The only thing she has never had is the affection of her best friend’s neighbor, Alex Stewart, whom she has had a crush on since she was a little girl. Instead of her lover, Alex has become her friend and confidant. When Dianne’s parents make a callous move with the family business that turns her world upside down, Alex is there to guide her to her true purpose.

“A Seductive Kiss” is a wonderful love story with so much more. The growing pains that Dianne goes through are a story in itself and make this story stand out. There are characters to love and characters you will love to hate. Although this is a Grayson friend’s novel, it is not necessary to read the series to enjoy this story. This was a well written, thought out story that progressed at an even pace to draw in readers to root for the couple’s success.
