Cam and Natalie were so much fun. I love an age gap where the woman is older - I also loved that she was a single mom. This book was super engaging and I’m loving this series! I did the ebook and audio - you can’t go wrong with either!

Liked the cheffy couple, but nothing else. I felt so awkward reading this, and it had some super grizzly aspects that didn't fit it.

Sweet and heat are what comes to mind when reading this tasty story about two chefs that have just the right ingredients for a winning combination! I loved Cam's vulnerability as much as his inner strength, couldn't have made a better match for Nat if you COULD build him in a lab. Just enough humor and suspense to balance them out, I could read about Crissy's antics all day, can't wait to see more of the rest of the crew in future books!

I enjoyed this story. Loved to see the journey of their friendship. I could see that there was a special connection Cameron and Natalie. Always nice when I read/listen to a single parent story. Chrissy was a sweet little girl. Fun that they were co-workers. I liked to also see the extra side characters - room mates.

Seduced is the third book in the V Card Diaries series by Lili Valente. I am loving this series so much! Lili is giving us such fun characters with so much heart and they are making me swoon and laugh out loud. Oh Cameron, I knew I was going to freaking love you! You might be young, but you have your life together. You know what you want to do with your life, you know how to treat a woman and you know how to be a great friend. And you are sexy and fun and smart. Natalie is a business owner, chef and mother. She wasn’t expecting to meet a young, charming man who she connected with. And then when he turns out to work for her, she can’t go there. But really, she can and she does! I love that she is older and he’s the virgin. And just because he is, doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to please her. I loved watching their love grow and how mature they are. I loved the way Cam is with Crissy, her daughter (swoon). I just loved everything about it. It made me laugh, cry, get hot and bothered and just smile. Everything I want from a romance!

My favorite of the series! I knew it would be great and I was not disappointed. I loved that the hero was both younger and a virgin. Though it did give me a bit of a complex that the “older woman” was my age. But I also kept thinking, “Get it, girl! You are a total inspiration!”

Not only was Cameron basically perfect, but the story was intriguing as well. I won’t give anything away, but it had some suspenseful elements that made the whole thing impossible to put down.

Every single thing about this book was adorable and swoony. I wasn’t sure how a male virgin, reverse age gap would work but this was perfection. I literally smiled the entire time.

Cameron is the only male friend in the virgin friend group this series is focused on. He was saving himself for marriage because of his long-time girlfriend’s wishes. But, as we remember from the other books, she broke those wishes with someone else. Cameron is a sweetheart, unproblematic, and the fact that Natalie and her best friend call him “the Cutest Boy in the World” is the sweetest.

He goes to a tasting event where he meets a woman who gets sick and he takes care of her before getting to know her in a bar after the event. It’s an instant connection that can’t be stopped— even when they try to ignore it because she’s the new owner of the restaurant he works at.

The biggest surprise? Who knew my man was such a dirty talker! He may be a virgin, but you can tell his oozes confidence. The first time between him and Natalie was five alarm spicy!

Natalie was great. She has drama surrounding her and her adorable daughter that I won’t spoil but she’s amazing. Everything I hoped for in someone for Cameron! They’re perfect together. Their ending and epilogue were my favorite to date.

I’m DESPERATELY waiting for the final book. The teaser was out of this world.

I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

*** AUDIOBOOK REVIEW***

Loving the third book in the Virgin Diaries series by Lili Valente. Seduced was such a sweet, flirty, sexy, and charming book. Cam’s story was so intriguing, this was my first book where the hero was a virgin. Cam’s the whole package, he’s dreamy, hot, kind, loyal, knows how to cook but he still has his pesky v card and not by choice. Once he meets Natalie at a cooking class sparks fly. Their attraction is undeniable and instant. Turns out she is his new boss and owner of the restaurant he works at. They have such great chemistry, but Natalie is reluctant to blurt the lines at work with her new head chef. She also has her reservation because she is 10 years older and a single mom.
This story will captivate you from start to finish. You will fall in love with every character and especially Crissy, Natalie’s adorable daughter. This story will make you laugh, swoon and feel a bit anxious with the undertone of suspense. As always, Jason Clarke and Lili Valente do an amazing job bringing Cam and Natalie to life. Jason Clarke’s child voice was so cute, definitely sounded like Crissy. I can’t wait to find out what happens next with Jess, the last virgin of the group.
