Evie Staab has never told anyone about that secret admirer from college, the one who left her romance novels all marked up with sweet nothings and naughty highlights. Now a high school English-Lit teacher, she still keeps her romance novel guilty pleasure to herself, and that suits her just fine. Even though it’s been years since college, Drake Harkins still thinks about that cute, sweet blonde … sweet blonde who tutored him. Nor can he ever forget about the rush he got from secretly sending her those dirty books she liked, complete with some extra commentary from him.
An unexpected encounter reunites Drake and Evie, leaving Drake wanting more. Evie, however, requires a little more convincing. Can Drake use her guilty pleasure to win her over? Or is he forever benched to living in the shadows of Evie’s book boyfriends?

The Romance Every Bookish Nerd Needs
A Novel Seduction is a quick, hot second-chance romance with dreamy hero Drake, who reads aloud to the heroine, and a book nerd who gets her jock. More than that, this book is informational. Like, I never knew phone sex was so hot. And now I know why women like men who are bigger than them–and it’s not at all what you think!
My husband hasn’t quite caught on to the memo that I now expect to receive a book a week, but given the number of times I plan on reading this sweet fic, I’m sure he will.
This is the first book of this authors I have read and I know without a doubt, it won’t be the last.
This is a insta second chance friends to lovers sort of novella. Evie tutored Drake in college and had a crush on him but didn’t think the baseball elite popular boy would be interest in a nerdy like her. When a surprise meeting occurs things develop very quickly between these two and the years they had missed out being together makes each moment together feel like they have been together longer.
This is such a beautifully written sweet romance that I couldn’t help smiling all the way through obviously there are some moments where you feel sad but by the end you are left feeling content. There were quiet a few moments throughout the book where I was fanning myself because the scenes were yummy.
This novella, is a quick, sexy read. Drake and Evie reconnect several years after college. He is a jock and she is a studious English teacher. They would seem to be opposites, yet they bond over reading dirty romances together! If you enjoy steamy insta love stories this may be the book for you.

If you don’t read this book and immediately want a boyfriend like Drake, well I don’t know what is wrong. Seriously, the man is a former baseball player AND he reads romance novels out loud. How can you not want that!?
Evie is a bookworm and an English teacher who loves historical romance novels. She is more of the shy, quiet type of person. Drake is a former baseball player, a gym teacher and he has a secret romantic side. I loved Evie and Drake’s relationship from the very start. They have a history together, but its been a few years since they have seen each other. There is an instant connection and amazing chemistry from the moment they meet again at a bookstore.
This is a novella so it is short and fast paced, but you’ll easily fall in love with this story and these characters. I truly hope we get more of them and get to see more of their backstory in the future.
A Novel Seduction is a sweet, fun, steamy, quick read and perfect for the weekend! A MUST READ!
I’ve admittedly never read a romance novella before, but I. Am. Here. For. It!
A Novel Seduction (which the play on words of that title alone are *chefs kiss*) is a great quick read. It’s super super sweet, and also steamy in all the right places. Evie and Drake will have your attention, your heart, and your hormones from page one when they reunite after five years! I certainly was left hoping for a Drake of my own by the end of chapter two!
If you’re looking for a super dramatic, fully fleshed out book with a ton of back story on the characters, you won’t find that here. This is part of a series of novellas by multiple authors. They’re short, sweet, and to the point. But, if you’re looking for something of a sweet and steamy pallet cleanser I loved every page of A Novel Seduction.
I’ve enjoyed Claire’s Indigo Royal Resort book 1, Cant Fight This Feeling, so far and am ready to dive into the rest of that series and look forward to more from her in the future!
