I was not particularly a fan of Antoine in book 2; his distance and apathy helped me to empathise with Callum and Kristina. So when I realised book 3 was centred on his character, I wondered how Felicity would win me over. And geez, win me over she did!
Antoine, is still the same vampire from Covet and Crave, yet what I discovered in Seduce is his tortured beautiful soul. His bond with his brother Snow *sigh* is so beautifully crafted and presented, that it really allowed me to not only warm up to Antoine’s character, but I was ready to melt in his arms.
Sera’s character is very different to the previous female mains. I really like this, especially when Felicity creates such strong female characters. It was very easy to like and identify with Sera, which is always a bonus when you find yourself falling for the male lead character. It stops me from resenting her – lol!
Seduce has a superb pace, and as always is well-crafted, in addition to being a divinely steamy read.
SynopsisBloodlust runs in his veins, a dark master waiting for the day it will reign over him. Now a woman with a pure soul and wicked intentions has him in her sights and is determined to crack the ice around his heart, and she might save or damn him.
Antoine stands apart from the world around him, a dangerous and broken soul who must maintain rigid control at all times or risk his dark addiction finally seizing hold of him. The shadows of his past haunt him and he sees his bleak future each night when his brother wakes screaming, his blood addiction turning him savage. He cannot allow himself to feel, but when Sera walks into Vampirerotique, the erotic theatre he runs with three other vampires, to audition, she awakens dangerous desires in him—hungers that could spell the end of both of them.
Sera has wanted Antoine since the night she first saw the gorgeous aristocrat vampire. She can’t ignore the deep carnal hunger he stirs in her or the ache to know the heat of his touch. With the help of her sire, an ex-performer at Vampirerotique, she sets in motion a game of seduction, one designed to thaw the ice in Antoine’s veins and make him burn for her.
When Sera discovers the shocking truth about his past and the darkness that lurks within him, will she be strong enough to seize his heart with both hands and win him forever or will she lose him to the ghosts that still haunt him?

Thanks for the fab review! I think you're not alone in your feelings for Antoine. I knew that Covet and Crave had many feeling he was too cold, too distant, and very unlikable. I was just lucky to know what he was hiding underneath that chilly exterior.
