Seduced

De: Lili Valente

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Amanda Ronconi

Last night I made out with a gorgeous, funny, quirky older woman. Today I learned she’s the new executive chef at my restaurant. AKA my new boss.

Yep, that’s the hot mess I’m in at the moment.

But the chemistry between Natalie and me is even hotter.

The problem? She’s a single mom focused on helping her little girl adjust to life in the big city. Dating right now—especially a co-worker—is asking for trouble.

So, what’s my next move?

Seduce the hell out of the woman, of course.

I may still technically be hanging onto my V Card, but I know how to drive a woman wild in bed.

Even more importantly, I know I’m the kind of man Nat’s looking for. I love hard, keep my promises, and I’ll put her and her daughter first.

And then I learn the real reason she's been holding me at a distance….

Most men would be scared away. Me?

I’m even more determined to prove I can make this wounded woman’s dreams come true.

Reverse Age Gap Rom-Com Perfection!

**Audiobook Review**

“Seduced” is a steamy and heartfelt laugh out loud rom-com that I could not put down. It’s the third book “V Card Diaries” series and I absolutely loved Cameron and Natalie.

Cameron has met the woman who he thinks could be the one. They have an instant connection over cocktails after a cooking class gone wrong. But to both of their surprises, Natalie is Cameron’s new boss at the restaurant he recently got promoted at. Natalie has a strict no fraternizing policy and Cameron respectfully follows her rules. But the two have an attraction that neither can deny.

I loved these two together! Cameron was a favorite of mine from the first two books and I’m so happy to finally get his story. It’s rare to have a book where the male main character is still carrying his V card but his story absolutely did him justice. Cameron is caring, genuine, and overall a great guy. There’s no way anyone would be able to resist him. Natalie was equally amazing. Being head chef, owner and a single mom kicking you know what and taking names. I’m so glad this was a reverse age gap, those are my favorite.

Jason Clarke and Amanda Ronconi did an amazing job bringing Cameron and Natalie’s story to life. Jason brought all of Cameron’s swooninest qualities out and Amanda did great as Natalie. You can never go wrong listening to anything narrated by Jason and I’m looking forward to listening to more by Amanda.

Falling in love with The Cutest Boy in the World

I loved loved Cameron and Natalie (and Crissy’s story). Natalie is 34, a chef, a recent transplant to the New York city, and a single mother. Cameron is a sous chef, a 24 year old virgin and determined to find the perfect woman to lose his virginity to and find his forever with. When they meet at an unfortunate insect cooking class Cam thinks he may have found the one. Until the next morning when Natalie turns out to be his new boss who has a no fraternization policy. But the chemistry and the draw between them is too much to ignore fate and not to continue the swoony journey to their HEA. The book has a little bit of everything - sweet moments, steamy scenes, strong friendships, laughs, painful pasts, light danger, and all the heart squeezing love. Experiencing the journey of Cameron and Natalie as they fall in love and work through their individual issues, especially Natalie, gave me all the feels - you will laugh, cry, swoon, grind your teeth, cheer, get a little anxious, and happy sigh. This story includes three dimensional characters who grow, witty dialogue, and an engaging storyline with light angst. And Chrissy was a wonderful and integral addition to the story rather than a flimsy story prop. She’s simply the best T Rex. This is a standalone story and can be enjoyed without reading the other books in the series but do yourself a favor and read them. They’re all fantastic. I am excited to read what happens for Jess, the final virgin roommate.

Audio - This is a duet narration and it is amazing. Amanda Ronconi makes a perfect strong but vulnerable Natalie and Jason Clarke’s growly voice is just how I imagined Cam. Their combined talents add a richer dimension to an already phenomenal story.

Eekk is it hot in here?

Cameron and Natalie were a breath of fresh air. I loved how they met, how they fell in love, sighhhhhh.
I mean Cam deserved his happy ending and I was so here for it. I love how Lili makes you fall in love with her characters. They have a witty banter, steamy bed time, I mean what more could you ask for.
Jason Clarke and his sexy voice could read me anything and I would listen. I think this is my first time listening to Amanda Ronconi and she is now my new favorite female narrator. I loved how her and Jason brought these characters to life!
Just watch out for nuts....they can kill ;)

Wonderful narrators

Oh my gosh! What an adorable story. I don’t know if it was that the main character is a man who has struggled to lose his virginity, that both of the main characters are chefs or little four-year-old Chrissy, who is obsessed with dinosaurs and getting a kitten, but all of these things together made for such a delightful book. There is quite a bit of drama and danger near the end that I wasn’t expecting but it definitely pulled all of the characters together which I loved.
This book is part of a series but can definitely be enjoyed as a standalone, there is just overlap of the characters that you meet.

Jason Clarke is one of my favorite narrators!

I loved Cam and Nat's story. sweet, but with unexpected twists and turns. Duel narrators were outstanding.

I absolutely loved this entire series!!

This series is so adorable I can't stand it. the only thing is I don't see another book for Jess's story which bothers me. if there is a book I wish someone would tell me and if not I recommend one.

Seduced by Cam & Natalie!

“He’s kind, patient and sweet, but strong, confident, and sexy as hell at the same time. Basically, he’s the kind of unicorn man I wasn’t sure existed in real life.”
​Seduced: A V-Card Diaries Novel by Lili Valente is a single mom, age gap, dating the boss romance. After saving his V-card for wedding night as requested by his fiancé, Cameron walks in on her in bed with two men. Now he finds himself as a 24-year-old virgin living with his best friends in the city and working as a chef. He has watched two of his best friends find the loves of their lives and he wants that for himself. But he figures that since he has held onto his V-card for so long that he shouldn’t give it away to just anyone. One night, he meets his dream woman in a cooking class, and he can’t wait to see where their relationship goes. One problem though… she turns out to be his boss and the new owner of the restaurant where he works.

The last several years have turned Natalie’s life upside down, and not in the good way. She is looking for a new start for herself and her 4-year-old daughter, so she puts her dreams on the line, moves across the country, and buys a restaurant. Will NYC be the start of everything she is looking for, or will she discover more? Enter Cameron, an absolutely sweet and swoony guy that is determined to win Natalie’s heart. Will Natalie allow him in her heart and her daughter’s life, or will she keep it locked up? Can Cameron prove to Natalie that he will keep his promises and always put her and her daughter first? Will Natalie be the woman that Cameron is searching for, and will he finally rid himself of his pesky V-card?

This book is narrated by Amanda Ronconi and Jason Clarke. We are fairly new to listening to Amanda, and we really enjoyed her performance. Jason is amazing as ever, portraying Cameron perfectly as the lovable hero he is.

Seduced can be read as a stand-alone, but it is the third book in the V-card Diaries series. We recommend reading the series in order, so you can fully appreciate the characters and their growth. The first two books are Evie and Harlow’s happily ever afters. The fourth book will be Jessica’s story. As always, we cannot wait for the next installment. We just adore Lili’s books. She has a way of captivating us from the very beginning and taking us on a journey filled with lovable characters, a bit of drama and a lot of laughs.

“…she’s the brightest part of my day-of my life, thus far- and that loving her is all I want to do today, tomorrow, and for as long as she’ll have me.”

Great story

I’ve enjoyed this 3rd installment in the series and while Seduced is a part of series, it can be read as a standalone.
Cameron has been looking for the “one” ever since he’s been betrayed by his fiancée. He is up and coming chef, and when he takes a culinary class on how to prepare worms, he meets Natalie and they have an instant connection. Little does he know that, when they plan a date for later in the week, she is the new owner of the restaurant he works at.
Natalie, a single Mom, has escaped a troubled past and her demons might just catch up with her in her new surroundings.
I loved this age gap story - it was refreshing for the hero to be the younger one in the relationship. The witty banter, the sweet and sassy Daughter of the heroine, Cameron’s roommates that we’ve met before as well as Natalie’s best friend, all provided a fantastic story line! Add the steam and swoon factor and we have a winner!!!
I recommend Seduced to all romcom enthusiasts.

Light and Flirty Fun

“If it weren’t for crickets, we might never have fallen in love.”

Seduced was light, flirty fun with a smidge of suspense. When Cam meets Nat in a cooking class, they are form an instant connection, but the next day, Cam finds out that Nat is his new boss. Will they be able to resist their attraction or will the heat be too hot in the kitchen?

“The moment I laid eyes on her, I couldn’t look away. There was just this instant connection, this intense…excited feeling. Like I’d finally found the person I’ve been waiting for.”

Cam was such a sweetheart. His protectiveness and huge heart made him so swoony. I loved how he was so sweet with Nat’s daughter. I loved Nat, too. She had survived a painful past and was looking to her future. She was unsure of becoming involved with a younger man, but she found herself unable to resist Cam’s charms.

Jason Clarke was perfection as Cam. His voice is so yummy and you can just feel the emotion in it. This was my first time listening to Amanda Ronconi and she was great as Nat. Her humor and lightness was infectious.

“When the universe gifts you with a once-in-a-lifetime connection, don’t take it for granted.”

Cam and Nat were so adorable and were absolutely made for each other. Their flirty banter was so much fun and their intense chemistry was electric. I loved how they were (mostly) open and honest with one another and easy their relationship was. Full of heat, unexpected danger, and so much heart, Seduced is absolutely delightful. I can’t wait for the last book in this series.
