All four stories are wonderfully told. I felt like I got to know the characters of each story very well and longed for more than I was given, yet pleased with how each story played out. I liked all of them equally. Each one had a different scenario to present and I loved the way they followed each other. It was nice to start with a quick read and end with a story I wished would never end.

 

Muriel is a fascinating person, and not just as a woman formerly part of a brilliant husband-wife team, betrayed by her spouse for a scheming floozy.   Her ‘reward’ is a younger man that adores her and helps her to heal.   Yet, I never once felt sorry for Muriel or that she was undeserving of her happiness.  Jaron didn’t come off as a trophy partner.  His own accomplishments place him as her worthy equal.

What I enjoyed most about this story was the sexual tension that is stoked from the time of Muriel and Jaron’s first meeting.  Ms. Hussey does a good job of illustrating the magnetic attraction between her characters.  This tender and sensuous story contained the right balance and energy so that all the pieces to the puzzle fit. 

Alien Seduction starts off fast, glides along without a bump, and lands successfully.  There’s a dynamic of male love interests ranging from very out-of-this-world strange to deliciously humanoid with ‘alien’ concepts.  The heroines all get a brave shot at “Loving the Alien”, and each author does well in displaying their strengths and courage.  I can conclude by saying this trio of stories contrasts and compliments one another from start to finish.
