The Seduction of His Wife

Sarah Banks's husband died leaving her nowhere to go. She worked at his family's bed and breakfast, where she met the Knight family. She is now living with them in Maine as their housekeeper and caretaker for Alex Knight's children, Delaney and Tucker. Alex has been in Brazil for three months working as an engineer in the jungle. Eleven days ago his family was told that he had been killed. Grady, Alex's father, asked Sarah to marry Alex by proxy in secret and to adopt Delaney and Tucker to prevent Alex's deceased ex-wife's family from taking the children. Sarah never expected to meet her handsome husband and Alex is shocked to come home to find Sarah there. He has no idea what to make of this gorgeous stranger he is married to. Sarah and Alex are very wary of each other and even after a night of shared passion, they struggle to make something of their relationship. Alex discovers a potential threat in the Knight's lakeside town. When it comes knocking on their door, Alex and Sarah defend their home and family, and in the process they discover that their unexpected marriage may be exactly what they were looking for. The Seduction of His Wife is a very pleasing and comfortable story. The Knight family, are good, genuine people and their lakeside home is peaceful and charming. Alex is ruggedly handsome and somewhat domineering, but Sarah knows just how to handle him. She is gorgeous, sweet and strong willed. Although it does take Alex and Sarah a while before they give in to their hearts' desires, The Seduction of His Wife is a tender romance. With a bit of mystery and action thrown in, The Seduction of His Wife is a very enjoyable story. Nannette Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

Love this book

I just loved this book. I read it in one sitting and just could not put it down.

Yet another great tale

I can not stress enough how much I enjoyed this book. Janet Chapman is a clever story teller who brings you into the story. Each book stands alone. This is one book that can not be put down!!

Another winner from Janet Chapman!

I was lucky enough to catch this author's first book 'Charming the Highlander' and have looked forward to every new release since. I normally don't care for shy virgins as heroines but, I came to understand why circumstance might have turned Sarah into the woman she was. Alex Knight was a sexy, masculine hero and I truly enjoyed the interaction between him and Sarah. This story was full of wonderful secondary characters who I am looking forward to seeing in the next two books in this trilogy. One thing I can say for Ms. Chapman, she knows how to create a warm, heartfelt story that not only makes you fall in love with her characters but, also gives you a vibrant picture of life in rural Maine.
