The Sweetest Seduction (Kelly Brothers, #1)

The Sweetest Seduction is the first book in The Kelly Brothers series. I downloaded this book as I was taking part in the Breakaway Hearts blog tour.
The story is about Lia and Adam. Both characters are similar in that they are ambitious, passionate and the have mothers who meddle. Lia is a chef, owning her own restaurant in a prolific spot on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. Her space is let to her by Kelly properties, owned and managed by Adam Kelly. Adam is used to getting what he wants but has no time for a woman in his life until he meets Lia. Lia puts him in a tail spin and he finds himself growing more attached to her, without realising his business plans impact on hers.
The story is told from both characters points of view which was good here because it’s quite a short story and having both POV’s allows you to get more of a feeling for the overall story. Both Adam and Lia are well developed characters with both similarities and differences. While Adam feels a familial obligation to run the family business and be the head of the family, Lia is finally spreading her wings and taking a chance on her dreams – her restaurant.
The story is filled with heat and passion as sparks instantly fly between the two characters. Lia is quick to assume that Adam is like every other rich guy out there but actually he’s a lot more down to earth and ready to fall in love than either of them realise.
It’s a little predictable but often with romance novels that is the case. It’s the getting from the start to the finish that is the important part and the story is fast paced and has some hints at some other story lines – such as the political side of Adam running is business – which could have been developed further. There were also a few issues with the editing but they were easy to overlook.
All in all it’s a good start to a new romance series, looking forward to reading the next.
