Trained for Seduction by Mia Downing
Spy Games #1

Erotica set in spy-land…although there was not much about being a spy in the story. This was more a vehicle for erotic encounters between a new spy, Emma Kate, and her boss, Chase. Add in, toward the end, their mutual friend Jake and you had a ménage. I would have to say that the spy part was so-so, the storyline could have done with some fleshing out, the characters needed more development and even the sex scenes were okay but not as entertaining as some I have read.

Thank you to NetGalley and The Wild Rose Press for the copy of this book. This is my honest review.

This was an erotic, sexy spy caper that's so over the top its good..

Emma Walters father was a crazed scientist that basically kept her prisoner. She was was also a genius like her father but very much sane. One night her father pimps her out to a "business partner" Emma was intrigued by the man even though she knew he had to be a bad guy. Things get hot and heavy but right before she is about to lose her virginity she knocks the man out.

Years later after being rescued from a plane crash that killed her father she is forced to become a spy. Before long she not only is one of the smartest spies they have but also a very well trained one in combat.

Chase Sanders was undercover all those years ago and was the man that Emma almost slept with. Now he runs the organization that she is apart of. When they meet to say Emma is shocked is an understatement. But Chase needs her for a mission and that mission entails her seducing a terrorist a skill she is not fluent in. Chase has taken the job of being the one to train her in seduction.

The heat level between these two was off the charts. ( )

Trained for Seduction is the first book in the Spy Games series by Mia Downing. I chose this book because I have enjoyed every Mia Downing book I have read. I have not read a bad book my Ms. Downing and this book did not disappoint.

Emma Walter with the help of plastic surgery became Kate Wells. She is a super smart and sexy woman. She is confident in her abilities. She agreed to being trained as a spy rather than go to prison. She comes across as a likable character one that your heart goes out to as she battles Chase for his heart.

Chase Sanders is a smart, sexy and confident man. He hungers for the one woman that got away from him, Emma who is now Kate. Chase guards his heart because in the end due to his job he thinks that most people will hate him and it’s just better that way. He is a very complicated person. It seems that Chase is his own worst enemy.

The chemistry between Kate and Chase is explosive. They are a good match for each other in and out of the bedroom. I loved that the thing that attracted Chase to Kate the most was her mind. The sex scenes were blistering hot. I loved that Kate was not intimidated by Chase in anyway not even when they first meet.

I loved this book! There is nothing that could have improved this story, it was perfect just the way it was. This book goes in the small pile of book that I will re-read in the future. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series! I already have it on my e-reader and I will be starting it once I am finished writing this. ( )
