Terrific read!, October 11, 2007
Set in London, 1814. Emily Redgrave, Lady Allington, is a young woman of charm, beauty, intelligence, and grace. She is also a spy for the Crown. Six months ago Emily had been shot. However, Emily believes she is ready to return to the field.
Grant Ashbury, Lord Westfield, knows from experience that anyone he cares for will be in danger while he remains a spy. Seeing his late wife's lifeless eyes had taught him that. But now Grant wants to get back into the field. He would gladly accept ANY case for a chance to prove to his superiors that he is ready.
Emily's mission is to protect Grant against the nameless, faceless enemies who seek his destruction. Grant's mission is to defend Emily for the same reason. Neither knew the missions were false. However, while Emily searched for Grant's enemies, she stumbled upon a real case of treason.
**** This story will keep all regency and historical romance fans on their toes! The first half of the book reads like a soothing and romantic Regency and then the author adds a touch of danger and suspense. An excellent way to enjoy a rainy evening. ****

Fantastic ending to a thrilling trilogy!, September 20, 2007
Seduction Is Forever is the third and final installment in Jenna Petersen's thrilling Lady Spies trilogy. It is the story of Emily Redgrave, Lady Allington, and Grant Ashbury, the Earl of Westfield.
If you remember in the previous book, Desire Never Dies, Emily was shot in the line of duty thus throwing Ana into the field. This story opens over six months later, after Emily has had time to recover from her injuries....except that her friends and Lady M don't think she's quite ready yet for a case. However, she is desperate to get back in the field. To placate her, Charlie and Lady M giver her a "fake" case, though she has no idea it is "fake". She is to guard the handsome and virile, but reckless Grant Ashbury. Emily hesitates because she doesn't want to play nursemaid to a spoiled rake, but accepts it as she is unlikely to be given another case at the present time.
Unbeknownst to her, Grant, who is "on the edge" after someone very close to him was killed, is assigned a case to watch over and protect Emily. He scoffs at the idea, but accepts as he believes it is just a stepping stone to a bigger case. While "protecting" each other, Emily and Grant stumble on to a real case and decide to work it together, but agree to keep it a secret in an attempt to prove themselves worthy to their fellow spies.
Like the other books in the series, this book involves a mystery. However, I feel that this book is slightly more character driven than the other books. We learn of Emily's and Grant's tragic pasts and watch their romance blossom as they heal each other. This book is passionate and sexy and the tension is thick.
I was so glad to see Meredith, Tristan, Ana and Lucas again. It was like visiting old friends. Plus, we finally find out who the mysterious Lady M is!
Seduction Is Forever is a fantastic ending to this wonderful trilogy!

Superb Regency Seduction!, November 28, 2007
As in the other two "Lady Spies" series, Jenna Petersen has created another Regency of sensuality and suspense leaving readers glued to the pages so as not to miss a moment of a well-written story with unforgettable characters. The whole storyline of Lady Spies during this interesting period in history is dramatically different, but then adding aristocratic widows with unique personalities and inner struggles of their own to overcome creates one of the most superb historical romance suspense trilogies of all time.
We left the last book with the heroine of this story, Emily Redgrave, shot and recuperating after being betrayed by a double agent. The recovered Emily is given a new assignment to protect the handsome Lord Westfield, Grant Ashbury, when really, unbeknownst to them, they have both been told to protect each other. The Foreign Office is wondering if two of their best agents still have what it takes. Is Emily traumatized by her shooting and is Grant really over his feelings of helplessness and hopelessness he experienced after a woman he knew got caught in the crossfire of a previous assignment? As Emily and Grant are thrown together to prove they still have the capabilities to continue as agents, their passion and desire for each other develops and grows, strengthening them along with their struggling doubts and discovery that both their skills are being watched and evaluated. Can they prove themselves as the excellent spies they are, while at the same time prove that their growing love can conquer all, making them stronger and even better agents, as Charlie, Lady M and Emily and Grant's friends and colleagues struggle with their doubts?
The best is saved for last in "Seduction is Forever" and many of the questions left unanswered in the previous stories are revealed, i.e., who actually is the infamous Lady M? It is also enjoyable to revisit the lives of the other two previous widows; Charlie's other two Regency Angels, Meredith and Anastasia. There are so many surprises, sensuality, mystery and fun in this third book. It is disappointing that the trilogy has come to an end; or has it?
Each book is strong enough to stand alone without reading the others first; but it certainly is a joy to read and re-read the series in order! Jenna Petersen's talent is masterful in this series, as well as her other books, and fans look forward to each one, patiently awaiting release dates. ......And for a further treat! Don't miss Jenna's erotic romances written under the pseudonym of Jess Michaels!
