No Choice But Seduction: A Malory Novel (Malory-Anderson Family Book 9)

Although I haven't read the other reviews, it looks like some people were disappointed by this latest Malory novel. Sad to hear that because I thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm a huge Lindsey fan, and the Malorys have a special place in my heart. Although I agree with another reviewer's header that it's not as much a romance as it is a story about the Malorys, to my surprise, I wasn't bothered by it. I was thrilled to get so many pages filled with Anthony and James together. And I DID like Boyd and Katey as a couple. Granted, their characters could have been developed much more, but I had so much fun going along for the adventure, I can't bring myself to judge their storyline too harshly. The one thing I will say though . . . considering that Boyd fell in love with a certain part of Katey's anatomy before he ever even spoke to her, and repeatedly ogled said anatomy throughout the book, I was surprised that his reaction to finally getting to be intimate with that anatomy was not played up somehow. It could have been a very funny part of the scene! I guess I'll have to leave that to MY imagination. :-)Now that Ms. Lindsey has paired up all the grown Malorys and three of the Andersons, I'm very curious to see where she takes the series next. I know the logical thing would be to age James' and Anthony's daughters to marriageable points, but I kind of hate the idea of the two brothers going into their 50s. I just love them as-is. I certainly wouldn't mind if the next book was simply an adventure that featured the whole family, rather than strictly a romance novel. But, then, it wouldn't fit into the "romance" genre, now would it? Guess I'll just have to wait and see.I do hope their are others who speak up in defense of this novel. The last novel, featuring Drew and Gabrielle, definitely WAS superior, however "No Choice But Seduction" is still worth the read! At least in my opinion. :-)

I began reading the series back in ‘94 by recommendation by my older sister and fell in love with James Mallory. That particular book became my all time favorite and still is! Had stopped reading the series after Warren Anderson got leg shackled, and I started working again, sadly not having the time to keep reading. Just restarted reading romance novels again and had to pick back up where I left off! Thank you for the wonderful romances of this family! Absolutely love the entire series and characters! Highly recommend this author! Back to catching up on where I left off! Thank you J.L. , Kindle and Amazon for making these books so readily available!

Geneva's Promise "I absolutely love the Mallory Family. I love James the most and Anthony second. This story has all three. The story starts with the abduction of Anthony's daughter Judith. Boyd, Georgina's youngest brother is in residence since James and Georgina are chasing pirates in the Caribbean. Boyd and Jeremy rescue Judith. Boyd recognizes his former passenger, the married woman he wanted to marry. The hots for Katey continues throughout the book. Katey is extremely innocent and doesn't understand the lust completely. She falls into the traps of her own lusts. The story is great because it is the Mallorys with James and Anthony for comic relief, but I do hope Johanna breaks out into a different area soon. We readers accepted the first bastard son of Jason. We liked the second bastard son of James, but pulling a third bastard daughter? Anthony's bastard daughter? That is enough bastards in the Mallory family. Yes, you like Katey for her innocence, love of animals, and need for a large family. You still think the third bastard is a bit much. The reuniting with long lost family is getting old as well.If editors think this is what we want from Johanna, they may be wrong. We love Johanna for her humor, humorous characters, and her creative new stories. I will always read Johanna, but I like creative new stories. Are you listening Brick and Mortar Editors? Let Johanna create!"Add a tag »

NO CHOICE BUT SEDUCTION is the ninth book in Malory Family Series. It is the story of Boyd Anderson, the youngest brother of Georgina Malory from GENTLE ROGUE. Boyd is ready to find love and marry when he meets Katey Tyler. Unfortunately, she is a passenger on his ship traveling to England who says she is on her way to meet her husband with her two children. He meets her again when Anthony Malory's daughter is kidnapped and Katey helps to rescue her.Boyd and Katey have a tricky relationship filed with deception and misunderstandings. I really loved seeing the Malory family again and seeing all the characters. However, I think there is just too much happening in this book and the romance between Boyd and Katey suffers as a result. This is especially true in the end where the resolution between the characters is accomplished too quickly.I always love seeing the Malory's and their various relatives and I liked this romance, but it was not as strong as the previous books.

This is one of my favorites although it only gets good, for me, after several chapters as Anthony gets more involves and like Derek's story there is a big "OMG, didn't see that coming", although not as near the end of the story. As with the prior book, this focus's on George's brother Boyd. The story also has overtones that you may find similiar in the final book of the series. Katie, the heroine, was raised in America after her mother was disowned by her English aristocratic family for marrying into trade. When Katie's mother dies in an accident, Katie decides to use the inheritance that her mother refused to accept and return to England to find her family. She travels on a Skylark ship owned by Boyd Anderson. That's starts the story and conflict. Its hard to tell the primary conflict, with its expected misunderstandings & clashes without telling all the subplots, and there are several, that bring Anthony, James, Judith and the rest of the group into the narrow story of Boyd and Katie. Its a good read.

Classic Johanna Lindsey at her best. Great story and characters, thoroughly enjoyed this historic romance

This must be one one of the worst books I have ever read, in fact it was that bad I couldn't finish it a total waste of five pounds, come on Johanna I know you can do better than this

I had this book in paperback & really chuffed I've got it on my kindle. I love the banter between the Anderson's & the Mallory`s.

Bought as a present, excellent condition

Good read
