Book Review: Colours of Love – Seduced by Kathryn Taylor

After reading the first trilogy of the Colours of Love, Kathryn Taylor immediately followed it up with “Seduced,” the first book of what I hope to be the next trilogy for this engaging series!

As the blurb for the book says, “New location. New Love Story.” This time, Kathryn Taylor brings her readers to Rome and introduces her audience to the young art dealer Sophie Conroy and art professor Matteo Bertani.

No, there are no conflict of interest here; nor an inappropriate relationship between a professor and a student. It is about two people who have a mutual attraction to each other. It is very straight forward story telling. And quite frankly, that is the genius of this story.

Kathryn Taylor has a very light touch. The crescendos are not too high and the downturns are not so low. Yet, there is friction and suspense that make it very hard to put down the book once you start.

And though the stories are very different, with “Seduced” not even a derivative of “Pride and Prejudice,” reading “Seduced” made me feel like reading the Jane Austen novel with the modern twists of well-described sex scenes. In “Seduced,” “Sense & Sensibilities” meets “Fifty Shades of Grey.”

Seduced – Colours of Love (Colours of Love Series Book 4)” is Rated M for Mature due to sexual content.

NEW LOCATION. NEW LOVE STORY. SAME KATHRYN TAYLOR.

A trip to Rome? For young Sophie Conroy, a visit to Italy’s enchanting capital is always a treat. As a fine art dealer, Sophie has learned to put the family business first. But when she encounters the seductive art professor Matteo Bertani, Sophie’s life takes an unexpected turn to ecstasy. Matteo turns Sophie on to new heights of pleasure, shattering her sense of balance. Soon, Sophie finds herself captive to her feelings, teetering on the brink of losing herself to desire. Despite their unbridled passion, Matteo remains cool and aloof, leaving Sophie to wonder if his heart is really invested. But when Sophie’s family livelihood is threatened, she must decide what matters most. Sensual. Romantic. Provocative. Kathryn Taylor at her best.

SEDUCED – COLOURS OF LOVE follows on the heels of Kathryn Taylor’s successful COLOURS OF LOVE series including, UNBOUND, UNCOVERED, and UNLEASHED. In SEDUCED Sophie and Matteo’s tangled love story heats up, with cameo appearances by the beloved Grace and Jonathan.

If you love E.L. James’ “Fifty Shades of Grey,” Silvia Day’s “Crossfire” series, or Jodi Ellen Malpas’ “This Man” trilogy, then COLOURS OF LOVE will thrill your desire for sensual romance.

Even as a little girl, Kathryn Taylor wanted to write. She published her first story at age 11. After a few detours in life, she found her own happily ever after. UNBOUND – COLOURS OF LOVE was her first novel.
