Not as good as the Bride Hunt, December 20, 2007
Margo Maguire's the Bride Hunt is one of my favorite books, so I wanted to read this book as it picks up on what happens to Isabel's sister Kathryn. I have to say that the pace and writing were dissapointing. The two lead characters were not very interesting, in fact the one person who stood out most was the wife who passes away in the beginning. Her story may have been a better one to tell!

Wonderful Read!, October 13, 2006
I've been eager for this book ever since I read Maguire's THE BRIDE HUNT - the first story in which the heroine, Isabel, is abducted by marauding Scots when her family castle is invaded. For a year I've wondered what happened to Isabel's younger sister, Kathryn, who was also abducted in the raid. For an ENTIRE year I have wondered! Well, I finally know. THE PERFECT SEDUCTION is Kathryn's story, and the tale of her abduction and, ultimately, her rescue (by one toe-curling, yummy hero) is fantastic! The wait was worth it. THE PERFECT SEDUCTION did not disappoint -- in fact, I think it's even better than THE BRIDE HUNT -- a great book and hard to beat in its own right.
I love a good medieval romance and, sadly, good ones are few and far between lately. Sexy-hot, action-packed, tightly paced -- I devoured this book. Margo Maguire has made it to my auto-buy list.

Maguire keeps getting better, September 1, 2006
Margo Maguire is one of the few stars at Avon these days. She stands out from the rest of their authors because she writes exciting, intelligent stories. Avon tends to edit their authors to a drastic degree turning many of the historical romances they publish into simplistic, boring storylines with elementary dialogue. Maguire, on the other hand, has been allowed to write a fun, fast read, with dialogue that keeps to the period and doesn't jar the reader out of the historical time in which the characters live. Maguire doesn't spend a lot of time on intricate historical background, but she does give a good rendering of the problems that the Saxons had in conforming to William's Norman rule. The plot is fast-paced, and the romance between the hero and heroine is really satisfying, growing from distrust to respect and then love. This is a thorougly enjoyable read. The only negative is the ending. It feels pretty abrupt. But, I sense those dastardly Avon editors at work again, so I won't blame Maguire.
