No Choice but Seduction
1 "New York Times" bestselling author Johanna Lindsey's "mastery of historical romance" "(Entertainment Weekly)" takes center stage in her eagerly anticipated new novel of the aristocratic Malory family -- a passionate, witty, and high-spirited tale that provides startling new information about a prominent member of the family. After her mother died, vivacious Katey Tyler fled her dull Connecticut town, hoping to meet her relatives in England and find adventure and romance on a grand tour of Europe. She had no idea that her life-changing travels would have both in spades -- as well as danger and intrigue -- when she catches the eye of ship owner Boyd Anderson and inadvertently stumbles upon a high-stakes kidnapping. When Sir Anthony Malory's young daughter is abducted from London's Hyde Park, her kidnapper mistakenly sends the ransom note to the home of Sir Anthony's brother, James. With James and his wife, Georgina, in the Caribbean, the demands are received by their houseguest -- Georgina's youngest brother, Boyd Anderson. Searching for the girl with Anthony, the notoriously hot-headed American sea captain fully intends to make the foolhardy villain pay. But he hardly expects to find exquisite Katey Tyler, recently a passenger on his ship, at the center of the plot! Little does Katey realize that in having caught the attention of Boyd Anderson -- and in meeting up with the Malorys -- she's about to experience more excitement than the typical young lady encounters on a grand tour, and her life will never be dull again. A multitude of surprises await Katey, from the startling truth about her mother's early life to the lengths a man will go to win the affections of a lady who has every reason to despise him -- but who can't resist the seductive, impassioned love he has to offer her. With the delightful humor, lovable characters, and tempestuous passions that have placed Johanna Lindsey's eight previous Malory novels among the best-loved and most widely read romantic novels of our time, "No Choice But Seduction" sweeps readers away on an irresistible adventure that is as bold and charming as the heroine at its heart.

I have to admit that this book wasw so full of twists and turns that at times I didn't know what to think!
Katey left her home town after both her mother and father had passed. She would happen to be on the Oceanus, Boyd Andersons ship.
Boyd fell in love with her at first sight, then was thrilled to find she was traveling on his ship.
It all just gets so much better! This is a book you will hate to miss.I have to admit that this book wasw so full of twists and turns that at times I didn't know what to think!

Although I haven't read the other reviews, it looks like some people were disappointed by this latest Malory novel. Sad to hear that because I thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm a huge Lindsey fan, and the Malorys have a special place in my heart. Although I agree with another reviewer's header that it's not as much a romance as it is a story about the Malorys, to my surprise, I wasn't bothered by it. I was thrilled to get so many pages filled with Anthony and James together. And I DID like Boyd and ...
Although I haven't read the other reviews, it looks like some people were disappointed by this latest Malory novel. Sad to hear that because I thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm a huge Lindsey fan, and the Malorys have a special place in my heart. Although I agree with another reviewer's header that it's not as much a romance as it is a story about the Malorys, to my surprise, I wasn't bothered by it. I was thrilled to get so many pages filled with Anthony and James together. And I DID like Boyd and Katey as a couple. Granted, their characters could have been developed much more, but I had so much fun going along for the adventure, I can't bring myself to judge their storyline too harshly. The one thing I will say though . . . considering that Boyd fell in love with a certain part of Katey's anatomy before he ever even spoke to her, and repeatedly ogled said anatomy throughout the book, I was surprised that his reaction to finally getting to be intimate with that anatomy was not played up somehow. It could have been a very funny part of the scene! I guess I'll have to leave that to MY imagination. :-)
Now that Ms. Lindsey has paired up all the grown Malorys and three of the Andersons, I'm very curious to see where she takes the series next. I know the logical thing would be to age James' and Anthony's daughters to marriageable points, but I kind of hate the idea of the two brothers going into their 50s. I just love them as-is. I certainly wouldn't mind if the next book was simply an adventure that featured the whole family, rather than strictly a romance novel. But, then, it wouldn't fit into the "romance" genre, now would it? Guess I'll just have to wait and see.
I do hope their are others who speak up in defense of this novel. The last novel, featuring Drew and Gabrielle, definitely WAS superior, however "No Choice But Seduction" is still worth the read! At least in my opinion. :-)

Geneva's Promise "I absolutely love the Mallory Family. I love James the most and Anthony second. This story has all three. The story starts with the abduction of Anthony's daughter Judith. Boyd, Georgina's youngest brother is in residence since James and Georgina are chasing pirates in the Caribbean. Boyd and Jeremy rescue Judith. Boyd recognizes his former passenger, the married woman he wanted to marry. The hots for Katey continues throughout the book. Katey is extremely innocent and doesn't understand the lust completely. She falls into the traps of her own lusts. The story is great because it is the Mallorys with James and Anthony for comic relief, but I do hope Johanna breaks out into a different area soon. We readers accepted the first bastard son of Jason. We liked the second bastard son of James, but pulling a third bastard daughter? Anthony's bastard daughter? That is enough bastards in the Mallory family. Yes, you like Katey for her innocence, love of animals, and need for a large family. You still think the third bastard is a bit much. The reuniting with long lost family is getting old as well.
If editors think this is what we want from Johanna, they may be wrong. We love Johanna for her humor, humorous characters, and her creative new stories. I will always read Johanna, but I like creative new stories. Are you listening Brick and Mortar Editors? Let Johanna create!"
