Although the widowed Lady Rebecca has sworn off marriage, men are another matter. London's cold winter nights have her dreaming of warmer pursuits-like finding a lover to satisfy her hungry heart. Someone handsome, discreet, and most importantly as uninterested in marriage as she is. Someone like Jack Fulton.

A known adventurer and playboy, Jack seems like the perfect choice. There's just one problem: Jack isn't interested in an affair. He needs the beautiful, mysterious Lady Rebecca to be his wife. And he doesn't have much time to persuade her. A secret from Jack's past is about to surface, and by Christmas Day he'll be either married to Rebecca or dead.

Review

PRAISE FOR USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR JENNIFER HAYMORE:

"Each time Ms. Haymore writes a book in this series I think there is no way to top the one I just finished. I started this latest one and realize she has done just that and has proven to me how fresh this series can remain. The characters of Becky and Jack are so full of life and longing just trying to make the right connection between family, relationship and future happiness while figuring out who to trust with all their secrets. This is a wonderful story and while I recommend reading the 1st two it is not imperative as Jennifer Haymore is a magician at connecting the plot from one book to the next-- but trust me you will have to buy the first two, they are that good."―The Reading Reviewer (www.marygramlich.com)

"41/2 Stars! Haymore uses the Christmas season as an enhancing backdrop for a mystery/romance that is both original and fulfilling. Her fresh voice & ability to build sensual tension into lively love stories...makes this tale shine."―RT Book Reviews

"Ms. Haymore has penned a fabulous story of seduction, romance, intrigue and betrayal and above all that - love. You don't want to miss it! I'm now a big fan of this new author and she is going on my automatic to buy list! I love her writing style and the complex plots that she has weaved so beautifully together....The characters are amazing and the story will tug at your heart strings. So if you love a great read, do go and get this series, you will be glad that you did!"―sapphireromance.blogspot.com

"A SEASON OF SEDUCTION is an engaging historical tale-it all begins with seduction and turns to love, but can Jack redeem himself? You can expect some sizzling scenes as the two protagonists get together, but is there any way the sizzle can last with Jack's treachery? Suffice to say, the road to love can get somewhat bumpy, but it is an entertaining story that readers will enjoy."―Marilyn Heyman, Romance Reviews Today

"Jennifer Haymore strikes a good balance of strength, sensuality, drama and intrigue in her characters...Becky is an independent, fearless woman except when it comes to opening her heart to another man. And Jack, while strong and passionate, shows great sensitivity under his 'rogue' persona. With enduring characters that exhibit strong chemistry, I very much enjoyed Ms. Haymore's unique, engaging style and look forward to reading the other books that are a part of this series."―www.fictionvixen.com

"Sweep-you-off-your-feet historical romance! Jennifer Haymore sparkles!"―New York Times bestselling author Liz Carlyle on A TOUCH OF SCANDAL

"Jennifer Haymore's books are sophisticated, deeply sensual, and emotionally complex. With a dead sexy hero, a sweetly practical heroine, and a love story that draws together two people from vastly different backgrounds, A TOUCH OF SCANDAL is positively captivating!"―Elizabeth Hoyt, New York Times bestselling author on A TOUCH OF SCANDAL

"Ms. Haymore's talent for storytelling shines throughout this book."―Eye on Romance

"Haymore discovers a second fascinating, powerful and sensual novel that places her high on the must-read lists. She perfectly blends a strong plot that twists like a serpent and has unforgettable characters to create a book readers will remember and re-read."―RT BOOK Reviews

"A deliciously emotional Cinderella tale of two people from backgrounds worlds apart, A Touch of Scandal addicts the reader from the first page and doesn't let go until the very last word. Hurdle after hurdle stand in the way of Kate and Garrett's love, inexorably pulling the reader along, supporting them each step of the way. A Touch of Scandal is a surefire win!"―FallenAngelreviews.com

Haymore writes a clever novel with a well-rounded cast of characters both major and minor while offering her readers a charming, intelligent, and wounded heroine in Lady Rebecca. While reading A Season of Seduction I found myself unable to set the book down, as I needed to know what was going to occur next. Haymore has crafted a clever plot with enough surprise twists to keep the reader thoroughly engaged as well as mesmerized by 19th century London and the numerous secrets to be unveiled throughout the novel. I would recommend A Season of Seduction to all readers as it has a bit of something for everyone and a rather enjoyable way to begin thinking of the holiday season.―rundpinne.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Third of CALTON SERIES
Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2013

This book deals with the Rebecca, sister of the Duke of Calton, who has been rescued from her evil husband, and now, four years later, is ready to try for love again. She is understandably wary, having been taken in by the manipulating rat, who was killed by the duke in Book 2, A Touch of Scandal. Now she is enamored of a third son, who has his own sorry history. To pay off his blackmailer, he must marry an heiress, and fast, and he picks Lady Rebecca, thinking she will be vulnerable and ripe for seduction. He is so wrong, and he's also wrong about his own lack of integrity in the deed. But things work out in the end, of course.

4.0 out of 5 stars A joy to read from cover to cover
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2011
A Season of Seduction by Jennifer Haymore is the third book surrounding the Duke of Calton and his eclectic family. This book follows Becky (Garrett's sister) and Jack's story. Although the book stands alone very well, I highly recommend reading its predecessors because the heroes and heroines from the previous books will make several appearances in this one.

Lady Rebecca Fisk, better known as Becky, has been unlucky in love. At the young age of 18, she eloped with William Fisk only to learn that he was a complete scoundrel of epic proportions and she was nothing but a pawn to him. Now, four years later and no longer young and naive, she is contentedly single and decides that she is ready for tryst. She decides that Jack Fulton is just the man to take as a secret lover. He is incredibly handsome, charming, well-traveled, and adventurous; the perfect candidate for her sexual endeavors. Most importantly, he is as uninterested in marriage as she is - or so she thinks.

Becky, with the help of her friend Cecilia, thought she had it all figured out, but even the best laid plans can go hopelessly awry. Now with her reputation damaged beyond repair, she has to decide whether she's ready to marry again because quite the contrary to her own plans, Jack doesn't just want Becky to be his mistress but he wants her to be his wife. The dark past that he escaped so many years ago is quickly catching up with him and making Becky his wife would be the perfect solution. He must convince Becky to marry him before Christmas or his past mistakes may cost him his life.

Although Jack cared for Rebecca from the start, he finds himself falling more hopelessly in love with her with each passing encounter and yet she's the one that remains aloof. Becky thought that she was strong enough to resist Jack, but she slowly realizes that he knows her and understands her in a way that no other ever has. How much longer can she hold on to her defenses? Through the act of properly courting Becky, Jack understands that his time is running out but that is secondary to his growing attachment to her. Unfortunately, that doesn't change the fact that he's walking a very fine line for he cannot let Becky discover the real reason for his initial interest in her.

Jennifer Haymore has done it again! She's given us a story that is full of romance, passion, intrigue, and suspense. Even though this is the third in a series, she has a true talent for making each book equally engaging in its own right. This story is unique in that it is the hero who pursues marriage while the heroine remains distant. While I do not want to give away any of the plot or dramatic scenes, I will say that I was proud of Becky's character. She possessed an inner strength, independence and fearlessness that I find somewhat rare in many Regency heroines. There were certain scenes where these traits really shined. Jack, whose interest in Becky was disingenuous at first, became really endearing when he put Becky before his own life. He proves himself to be a true hero with conscience.

The only areas in which I felt this novel fell slightly short of its predecessors was that the plot was not quite as complex and the villain was a bit weak as compared to the previous villain. However, having said that, this novel was still a joy to read from cover to cover and I highly recommend it to all lovers of romance!

I have all her books and would buy anything new. Connection to other books, characters, story line all the best. I recommend this author and all her works. While some are better than others, they are all a cut above the normal.

1.0 out of 5 stars Couldn’t Finish It

I love historical romances! I’ve read earlier and more recent books by this author and liked them, so I decided to try this one. It was a big disappointment, and I couldn’t finish it. The premise was intriguing - young widow embarks on an affair with a handsome sea captain. The heroine, Becky, was compelling - beautiful, aristocratic, mature, and kind. The hero, Jack, was the reason I couldn’t read this book - he was immature, reckless, and immoral. I couldn’t see any chemistry between them in the initial chapters of the book that I read. When the heroine’s family started conspiring to push her toward the horrible hero for no good reason that I could see, I bailed out.

2.0 out of 5 stars Average effort; Expected More from Ms. Haymore
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2011
I'd really wanted to like Jennifer Haymore's "A Season of Seduction," the third book in a trilogy set around the Duke of Calton and his eccentric relations. The back cover promised fun -- it's about a widow who wants to have the fun of a physical relationship but doesn't want a commitment as her marriage was awful. But the widow in question, Lady Rebecca "Becky" Fisk, is only twenty-two, which didn't really fit the premise too well; worse yet, the way she goes about setting up a potential assignation (through her good friend Cecelia, another older widow who has experience in such matters) shows that Becky is more naïve than not.

At any rate, enter sailor Jack Fulton, who's supposed to be your stereotypical rake, a "love 'em and leave 'em" type. Jack likes and respects Becky and believes Becky deserves more than he can possibly offer her, especially as he has a secret in his past that could destroy him utterly. But he's willing to risk damaging her reputation by "outing" their relationship in order to force her to marry him -- which shows right there that he does not fit the standard form of a "rake" because he's already started on the road to redemption (we know this because his heart really isn't in on the swindle).

So what happens? About what you'd expect; misunderstandings abound, with various scenes being set and re-set (the descriptions here were excellent, I'll give Ms. Haymore that). Becky and Jack get to know each other better, and then the problems go from bad to worse until the obligatory "make-up and marry" ending that's _de rigeur_ for the genre.

This novel didn't really engage me, I'm afraid; while I liked Jack and could see his attraction to Becky (and hers to him; she admits flat-out it's because Jack's a dynamite-looking man), because both parties entered into this relationship in a deceptive way and didn't really explain themselves until the end, I'd expected there to be some sort of wit or banter or even some moments aside from Becky running from doing the responsible thing (getting married, because she's afraid) or Jack running from his past -- and there just weren't enough of them for my liking, while most of those dealt with characters who were showcased in the first two books of this trilogy.

A better novel with similar themes (albeit without the Xmas backdrop, which wasn't exploited nearly as well here as I'd hoped it would be) is Sherry Thomas's debut novel "Private Arrangements," which crackles with electricity and warmth despite the duplicity on both parts. So I know what Ms. Haymore was trying to do here with her own "A Season of Seduction" -- she just didn't get it done, that's all.

Two stars.
