Sensous, July 18, 2011
This was a re-read for me. Originally read 11/2010, but I wanted to read this again before reading
That Perfect Moment (Kimani Romance). This book was just so good. Heavily romantic, and just so much mental connection between Loren & Rob. I love how rob kept telling Loren how beautiful she was, and wanting her to trust him after going through such a traumatic experience. The way the spoke to each other was really like poetry at time, and just gave me really good feelings while reading this book. I'm looking forward to reading Zach's story.

I Wish I Could Give This Book More Than 5 Stars, January 4, 2010
This review is from: The Perfect Seduction (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved, loved, loved this books!! The Hood men are so strong and sexy. I read Perfect Solitaire first and I thought it was really good, but this book is my favorite.
Loren was first introduced in Perfect Solitaire as Zoe's reclusive best friend, in this book we find out why. She was brutally abused and almost killed by her sadistic jealous boyfriend. She has lived 2 years and 5 months paralyzed by the fear that her psychopathic boyfriend will catch her and finish what he started.
Thanks to fate Rob Hood is on the scene. He's strong, fearless and the head of Hood Investigations. He's recovering from knee replacement surgery and he is also suffering from his own demons. His wife was brutally raped and murdered. He won't rest until every possible stone is uncovered to find the monster responsible for his wife's death. To make matters worst Loren bear a remarkable resemblance to his decease wife.
Together they are able to help each other put the pieces of their life back together. This fast-paced page turner will have you laughing out loud. I simply loved the Biddies and Hoods do more than get the bad guys, they make them pay dearly. I can't wait to read more about this exciting and intriguing family. They are quickly becoming my favorite characters.

poignant story of survival, fear, determination and rebuilding...., August 16, 2010
This review is from: The Perfect Seduction (Kimani Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
The Perfect Seduction by Carmen Green
Carmen Green's The Perfect Seduction, the second book in the Hood Family Series doesn't disappoint in this poignant story of survival, fear, determination and rebuilding. Loren Smith ,first introduced in the aforementioned Perfect Solitaire book, get's the featured femme fatale here. Being a character driven story, it centers around the tragic trepidations of Loren, a woman of exotic beauty and a highly sought after model. Her career as a Super Model comes to a disastrous turn by the manipulation of a jealous, spoiled, and rich boyfriend. The story starts out slow but speeds up when she is brutally attacked precipitating an abrupt disappearance which spawned a brand new identity.
Does a new lease on life works for Loren? Will she regain lost self-esteem and confidence to bounce back? These questions are answered with deft strokes of the pen in a credible job of writing Loren`s character in a way that doesn't take away from the rest of the players in this tale. It allows Robinson Hood, a private investigator recovering from surgery and staying at twin brother Ben's home, to become a major influence. Their meeting and involvement is fraught with tension, agitation, fear and is as tumultuous until Rob breaks through those barriers that Loren has established and lives by. Rob successfully convinces Loren that they can co-exist without interfering with each other as there was plenty of room. Rob working faithfully to solve the murder of his wife, finds it hard to resist a woman who reminds him of her, comes to a conclusion that has a bearing on the story. After spending volatile, aggravated and eventually avoiding time in the household with her, Rob remembered why she no longer models and decided to help her as much as he desired her.
This is a good story that involves a lot a caring, sharing and making things right. It takes us on the journey with two people where one fights to survive and the other fights for her to regain the propensity of fame and fortune in her life. Can they both get what they want and each other to boot? Read this fantastic story for yourself and see!
