ARC Review: "Moonlight Seduction" (de Vincent #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout


Moonlight Seduction by Jennifer L. Armentrout
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Summary from Goodreads

The de Vincent brothers are back—and so is the intrigue that surrounds them—in New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout’s sizzling new novel...

Nicolette Bresson never thought she’d return to the de Vincents’ bayou compound. It’s where her parents work, where Nikki grew up... and where she got her heart broken by Gabriel de Vincent himself. Yet here she is, filling in for her sick mother. Avoiding Gabe should be easy, especially when so much of Nikki’s time is spent trying not to be stabbed in the back by the malicious hangers-on who frequent the mansion. But escaping memories of Gabe, much less his smoking-hot presence, is harder than expected—especially since he seems determined to be in Nikki’s space as much as possible.

Gabriel spent years beating himself up over his last encounter with Nikki. He’d wanted her then, but for reasons that were bad for both of them. Things have now changed. Gabe sees more than a girl he’s known forever; he sees a smart, talented, and heartbreakingly beautiful woman... one who’s being stalked from the shadows. Now, Gabe will do anything to keep Nikki safe—and to stop the de Vincent curse from striking again.

REVIEW


I received an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Gabe's story was quite intriguing even from the first book "Moonlight Sins". And I really wondered what Nic's connection to him would be.
So, while the story was slow burning and had some funny moments, I didn't expect it to escalate in that scale towards the end. The house was creepy once more, Dev was a cold-hearted man (or he is the best actor I've ever seen) and Nic knew how to keep her cool with Sabrina the b*ch.

And Gabe despite being a hypocritical jerk at the beginning of the book, opened and warmed up to me as a character making me liking him towards the end. But to be honest, I knew from Jennifer's mentions on Facebook about Rosie and Dev, so even that ONE scene I got with those two together made me even more excited for the final book of the series.

Because seriously I imagine Rosie storming into the house Ghostbusters style, with Dev cringing every time she bumps into precious china, vases, and paintings.
