The Seduction series by Lori Brighton is a three-book historical romance set in the ballrooms and bedrooms of Regency England. To Seduce an Earl opens the trilogy with a story about a young woman who sets out to seduce an earl for reasons that go well beyond simple attraction. Brighton sets up a world of societal rules and the thrill of breaking them, with characters who are smart enough to know they’re playing with fire.
To Capture a Rake and To Please a Lady continue the pattern, each featuring a new heroine and a new leading man from the upper echelons of English society. The romances are heated and direct, with Brighton spending less time on the niceties of the ton and more on the chemistry between her leads. The women in these books are not content to sit quietly and wait for a proposal.
The trilogy works well for readers who like their Regency romance with more edge than the typical drawing-room courtship. Each book tells a complete love story, so they can be read individually, though the three heroines are connected and reading in order adds some depth to the relationships between them.
