SEDUCTION BY THE BOOK kicks off the GYPSY INHERITANCE series with a look into the world of a lonely and disillusioned widower. Nicholas Scoville is a wealthy European aristocrat plagued by guilt and suffering from injury.

Annie Riley is the bright and energetic youngest daughter of a big Irish-American family whose longing for independence takes her to a remote island as a personal physical trainer.

A Gypsy's gift book of fairy tales and a wild hurricane both intervene in the employer-employee relationship creating a powerful story of self-deception and discovery.

LINDA CONRAD takes the reader to a place of incredible beauty, long buried secrets and overpowering passion. A story you won't forget.

Generally an okay read although I thought the conflict between the two main characters could have been a bit more realistic. The heroine of the story complained she didn't like the hero making decisions without consulting her. To me it feel flat because the decision he made was based on something she said she wanted, a decision she made without consulting him I might add, and then she had the gall to get mad about it? What? Also his big moment of clarity was based on the fact that he realized he'd been acting like a controlling SOB, but I never got a sense of that throughout the rest of the story. It came across more like something thrown in at the last moment to create conflict. Definitely could have been written better.
