Cocktails and Books's Review of Moonlight Seduction (de Vincent, #2)

by Jennifer L. Armentrout

The de Vincent brothers are back—and so is the intrigue that surrounds them—in New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout’s sizzling new novel . . .

Nicolette Bresson never thought she’d return to the de Vincents’ bayou compound. It’s where her parents work, where Nikki grew up . . . and where she got her heart broken by Gabriel de Vincent himself. Yet here she is, filling in for her sick mother. Avoiding Gabe should be easy, especially when so much of Nikki’s time is spent trying not to be stabbed in the back by the malicious hangers-on who frequent the mansion. But escaping memories of Gabe, much less his smoking-hot presence, is harder than expected—especially since he seems determined to be in Nikki’s space as much as possible.

Gabriel spent years beating himself up over his last encounter with Nikki. He’d wanted her then, but for reasons that were bad for both of them. Things have now changed. Gabe sees more than a girl he’s known forever; he sees a smart, talented, and heartbreakingly beautiful woman . . . one who’s being stalked from the shadows. Now, Gabe will do anything to keep Nikki safe—and to stop the de Vincent curse from striking again.

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Social Butterfly PR in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.I wasn't sure what to expect from Gabe's story. I was so turned around with Lucian's book (especially since I went into the book thinking it was a paranormal romance) that I was almost afraid of Gabe's. But I'm glad I didn't let that stop me because I think Gabe is my favorite de Vincent.

I think my favorite part of this story was the fact that Nikki, daughter of the de Vincent estate caretakers, had this enormous crush on Gabe and then came home to a romance with him. This story could have gone so many ways, but JLA gave these characters such chemistry that it was hard to deny they really belonged with each other. Despite the ten year age difference, they were in-tune with one another and provided that support and encouragement the other needed. Sometimes neither one of them was very good at listening to what that chemistry was telling them, but readers also knew they'd figure that out very quickly (which they generally did).

I think the mystery about the weird goings on at the house finally seem to come to light. Now I'm anxiously awaiting Dev's book to figure out what is up with him and Sabrina and why everything has happened. I just know there is a spectacular story there.
