Seduced By His Touch

By Tracy Anne Warren

He Had to Marry Her

Everyone in London agrees the Byrons are just as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know" as their poetic non-relation. But Lord Jack Byron is facing a predicament that is scandalous . . . even for him!

Marry a young woman because he lost a bet? Unreformed rake Lord Jack Byron would do anything to get out of it. But the rich merchant who holds his debt insists Jack lead his on-the-shelf daughter to the altar . . . and make her believe it's a love match. With no options, Jack agrees, thinking he'll be shackled to a closed-in spinster.

But Grace Danvers is no milk-and-water miss. When he first encounters her in a London bookstore, Jack is struck by her tempting sensuality and soon becomes determined to bed—and wed—her (in that order!). Yet though he plans to seduce her with his touch, he never dreams he'll also want to win her with his love.

Reviews for Seduced By His Touch

[pnrlist · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Sure, it's formulaic, but I love this formula. Plain, insecure heroine is deceived by dashing lord who must marry her for money. Plenty of angst. I thought she gave in a little too easily when the shit hit the fan but still, it wasn't as if I didn't see the HEA coming. We were privy to his inner monologue, she was not. I would have roasted him over the fire. But of course I liked it. (3.5 stars)

First read in February 2012, re-read December 2016. Bumped up to four stars for the angst!

This book was fun to read, it was hard to watch the betrayal take place though but it all worked out in the end. Which is great. The world should be more like this book, happy endings.

Lord Jack Byron, is wild and scandalous at times, but when he loses a bet of a amount he can't afford, he agrees to marry the gamblers daughter, but he has to convince her to marry him and make her fall in love with him. Grace, upon meeting the handsome Jack Byron, is flattered that he would want to be with her over how many other beautiful women, when she has never considered herself beautiful, however she feels herself starting to fall in love with Jack. Jack, even though in the beginning this ruse was all about getting Grace to marry him, but he never though that he would find her everything he would desire in a wife, and knows he is starting to fall in love with her, hoping that when the truth comes out she will still realize how much his feelings for her are sincere...Seduced By His Touch is the second installment in the Byrons of Braebourne series. Even though I have read the books out of order, I have just loved this series....Its one of my favorite regency historical series. Seduced By His Touch at times were a emotional rollercoaster, and the characters were so vivid from the very beginning that you couldn't help but love them both, there was such a endearing quality, about Jack and Grace, who have led different lives, but there is such a powerful chemistry that develops between them, and a powerful love that will carry you away in the story. From the very beginning Tracy Anne Warren has seduced me in a way that she has done with each and every one of her books!!!

When Jack Byron loses a bet for more money than he owns he is forced to court and marry Grace Danvers' father. He's not expecting to actually feel an attraction for the spinster but as he sets about seducing Grace into marriage he finds the idea has more and more appeal. Grace falls for Jack hard and is devastated to learn about the agreement between Jack and her father. In a bid for her independence she proposes that she and Jack have a marriage in name only for a Season. After which they will part split the marriage settlement and go their separate ways. Jack tries to win Grace back but Grace is afraid to trust him. The beginning of the story is interesting but the reconciliation at the end is dragged out way too long.

This book felt more like the Tracy Anne Warren that I enjoy so much. She even threw in a reference to characters in other series. Very clever.
