*I received an advanced copy as a member of Crista's Street Team. Regardless, this is still an honest review.
Oh Ethan and Becca...your story was indeed seductive. I loved the interactions between both characters and the complexities of both of their lives. Typically this is where I would say that this brother is my favorite of the Kelly brothers so far...but sorry, as much as I enjoyed you Ethan, Dan is still my favorite because he's a geek and so I connected to him more. Right now my fondness for the Kelly boys can be ranked as: Dan, Ethan and Caleb, Ben, and Adam. They are all still pretty awesome guys, but obviously each reader will have certain preferences.
Anyway, back to A Seductive Melody. The attraction between the two main characters is fairly obvious right away, and I admire that they held back for a while, both because they needed to as recovering addicts and because that builds a connection that is more than just physical. Of course, considering the nature of Becca's job, I basically figured out what their big falling out would be, but it was still emotional. Becca and Ethan are so supportive of each other and I love that neither of them backs down when they know the other one needs somebody to just get in their face and push them. Also, hey, this is a romance, so let me just say that the first love-making session between the two was pretty awesome. It was interesting to see how the characters were in the bedroom as opposed to their normal dynamic outside of it. I very much enjoyed this book and I am greatly looking forward to Frank and football in the next book. It should be fun.

Really enjoyed this novel, perfect mix of romance, angst and drama. Ethan is a perfect leading man, and I love how each brother in the series is unique. I look forward to reading more.

4 1/2 stars. So far my favorite in the series
Ethan has hit rock bottom. He was the one who found his bestfriend with a needle in his arm, and he is determined not to go down the same path. Becca understands Ethan and his future struggles more than he knows.
Becca is a very strong character and by the end of the book I really admired her for the stand she took in her life. Ethan is one of seven incredible brothers. He stumbles but has the determination to get better. He is a caring soul and has a protective streak. I personally adored a speech he gave to Becca's father on Thanksgiving.
The plot was simple and more about Becca for me than Ethan. I enjoyed the few looks we got at the Kelly family. There was some confusion for me as to the time line as I think this book and the previous one about Dan seemed to have been done in parallel.
I enjoyed this soo much - I am looking forward to the next.
I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley for my honest review.
