My first book from Kelly Elliott and it will not be my last! I am ready for more Austin Singles!!!
Seduce Me is a friends to lovers, second chance romance, its the first book in the new Austin Singles series from Kelly Elliott and I loved it. It’s full of angst and pain, with the main characters coping with grief but it’s also sexy, fun and full of love.
Tucker and Charlie have had feelings for each other forever, but after spending a weekend together in college Charlie walked away from Tucker with out a secend thought crushing his heart in the process.

A fabulous start to this new series and I can’t wait for more. There are some secondary characters that I loved and I’m hoping we’ll see their stories in the future.
5 Stars
Oh be still my second chance romance loving heart! Kelly Elliott has brought a brand new series to fall in love with, and fall in love I did. Charleston and Tucker are such a breath of fresh air, their story had me craving what came next. These two have chemistry in spades and it’s obvious to all of their friends that they are still in love with each other, even after Charleston broke Tucker’s heart seven years prior, but these two just can’t see beyond the end of their own noses.
This story is chock full of sweet and sassy banter, just the right amount of angst and drama, and some seriously sexy times. Tucker can talk dirty to me anytime. I seriously loved not only Charleston and Tucker, but their friends as well. I have to say Mr. Pootie stole the show though lol. A great start to a new series. I can’t wait for Nash’s story!

Charlie (Charleston) and Tucker had a crazy, wild weekend and she walked away when it was done. She had been groomed by her dad to take over the family business. She’s been trained for it and she wants to make her dad proud no matter the consequences to her own personal life.
When she needs Tucker for her plan, she can’t bring herself to tell him why she needs him. BUT he knows and the closer they become he wills her to tell him but she can’t. She’s afraid he’ll leave and she will be devastated.
Will they be able to overcome the past and the secrets she’s holding now? Will Tucker be able to show her he’s in it for the long haul? Not just for now but for the future? Will she be able to let her guard down to let him all the way in?
I love Charlie and Tucker!! Cannot wait to see what the next book in this series. I’m all grabby hands when it comes to her books.
Another great book by Kelly Elliott. I loved reading every page to this book. Charleston is by far one of my favorite female characters written by Kelly. Charleston is so strong and independent but also flawed like everyone. I enjoyed that some of the personality traits were flipped in this story between the two main characters. Tucker was of course a gentleman and had me falling for him. This is one of my favorite books now written by Kelly Elliott. It’s full of excitement, love, sex and some twists.
Seduce Me is the first book in an all new and exciting series from author Kelly Elliott. Seduce Me is fun, flirty with a great pull and a romance that I just can’t get enough of. This story is the kind that I just live for and can’t get enough of.
From the moment I picked up Seduce Me, I was hooked. I was totally, completely, 100% addictive to these characters. They were fun. They were entertaining. They made stupid mistakes, but at the same time were determined and knew what they wanted out of life. I loved getting to know Charlie and Tucker. You could tell from the beginning that these two had unfinished business and I for one couldn’t wait to see how their story would progress. These two might have been separated for 7 years, but the sparks and flame were still there. The passion and chemistry between them; undeniable. And I just loved their banter. I never knew what they were going to say next and I loved that they kept me on my toes.
The road to HEA for Charlie and Tucker wasn’t an easy one. Mistakes and hurt from the past definitely was a hard thing to overcome, but once the truth comes to light, there’s no stopping these two. Did Charlie and Tucker frustrate me? Yes, absolutely. I didn’t know if I wanted to strangle them or hug them. But, I gotta tell you, all that frustration….it just added to those incredible will they/won’t they moments. At the end of the day, you could tell these two cared for one another a lot more than they let on, but they let fear rule their lives. For me, it was a lot of fun watching them try to figure things out and fight for what they really wanted.
Seduce Me is the first book in the Austin Singles Series and boy does it kick off this series with a terrific start. I live and breathe for story-lines like Charlie and Tuckers. Their story was just filled with delicious angsty moments, a great push and pull, and a love that’s worth fighting for. Seduce Me gave me all the feels and took my emotions on one crazy ride.
I loved every single moment of Seduce Me from beginning to end. It was fun. It was sexy and full of steam. I loved the characters. I loved their drama. I loved their fight. And I just can not wait for more. This series is off to one amazing start and I’m excited to see who’s story this author will have me falling in love with next.
Gah. I swear. Kelly Elliott gets me every single time. A long time favorite author for me, I really shouldn’t be surprised anymore when I end up absolutely loving a book I wasn’t sure of. I didn’t know how I felt about Charlie and Tucker’s past before I really dove into their story. I thought I wouldn’t like Charlie a whole lot because of of it to be honest. But here I am head over heels in love with this book and feeling like Charlie’s number one fan!
These two are a prime example of true love doesn’t always mean easy, and sometimes second chances are even more beautiful than the first time around. Kelly Elliott’s beautiful writing not only brings these characters to life but also pulls you in so deep into their story you’ll lose all track of time. I sat curled up with this book crying for Tucker and Charlie, laughing, fanning myself, swooning, fighting the urge to knock them upside their heads. These two were freaking everything!
Elliott never fails to have me falling head over heels in love. Whether is it one of her sweet sexy country boys or a bar owner in the city, I am never disappointed. Seduce Me is a sweet, sexy, enemies-to-lover, second chance love story that had me swooning hard.
Everyone knows Tucker and Charlie are perfect for each other, except neither will admit it. After an amazing weekend together in college, both knew there would be noone else, but Charlie walked away, choosing family obligation over what could be the love of her life.
Seven years later there is still tension and animosity between these two, and this is where their story really begins. With the death of her father Charlie finds herself needing to get married in a hurry. The problem… the only person she sees when she thinks of marriage is Tucker.
True to form, Elliott does an amazing job of creating a world full of characters that you can’t help but want more of. I have fallen completely in love with this new series and can’t wait to see what she brings us next!
This book was full of sizzling chemistry, snarky banter, hidden truths that eventually come out. Making it a page turner that is over before you know it.
Charleston (Charlie) has been groomed most of her life to take over the family business, but never expected that at 28 she would be taking the CEO title. Dealing with the death of her parents, trying to run the company, discovering a love she thought she passed up long ago.
Tucker is finally doing what he really wants, opening his own bar. To his father’s dismay as he wants him part of the family business. Charlie broke his heart years ago and he has tried to keep a wall between them. Most of that wall has been shown in the form of hatred but when she is hurting because of the death of her parents he lets his guard down.
Lies and half truths is not the way to start a relationship. Fear of loss makes it hard to come clean. Watching your loved ones hurt from a distance is painful. Can Charlie and Tucker find a path to a second chance? Can they make peace with who they want to be and not trying to who someone wants them to be?
This is a strong start to a new series. I am excited for these secondary characters to get their stories as well.

If your looking for a great read you’ll want to read this!!! The way Kelly Elliott brought Charlie and Tucker together was unbelievably awesome.
This story is one of true love, hot sex and pure emotion. I kept telling myself one more chapter until I ended up with finishing the whole thing in one go, LOL -It’s like a tub of pringles – Once you start you can’t stop!! That’s the type of Author Kelly Elliott is and what an amazing start to a new Series from one of my go-to Author’s!!! Now I can’t wait to get my hands on Nash……..Bring him on
Every new series Kelly Elliott gives us gets better then the one before and after her Cowboys and Angels Series (which has been my favourite………till now!)
I loved every single word of Seduce Me it was full of angst, humour, pain, loss, grief and oh so much sizzling hot chemistry. Kelly has yet again given us great characters, fast paced plot to entice us and keep us hooked on this new series from her.
This was a superb enemies to lovers romance that has fast become one of my top ones
Charleston Monroe has been in love with Tucker Middleton since she met him at college but after a weekend together she breaks his heart by walking away from him to fulfil her fathers wishes. Now 7 years on she desperately needs his help but is too afraid to tell him the truth and now risks it all.
I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series as there are some truly intriguing secondary characters
5 The Heart Knows Stars!!!
This is book one in Ms. Elliott’s new Austin Singles Series and we get introduced to all the major players of this group of college friends and the main focus of this story is Tucker and Charleston, or Charlie to her friends.
Tucker and Charlie shared a glorious weekend of passion while they were all on a long weekend at the lake and while both of them knew that this weekend was so much more than just giving into their mutual desire, Charlie wouldn’t let herself have more than just this weekend thanks to her father and all the years of telling her what and how she should do things. So instead of trying to figure out how they could be together, she ran and so begins seven long years of palpable animosity between them.
And this is when the story really begins. This book has everything I love in a romance….passion, joy, angst, HAF sex, a journey of maturing between the H/h and a passionate love story that forces Tucker and Charlie to really examine what they want out of life and if they’ll continue to follow what others told them they should be and do.
Ms. Elliott has done a phenomenal job of creating characters that I related to, that I want to get to know and spend time with. There’s a deep abiding friendship between this group and while there are times of anger and stubbornness to see things from different points of view, when it comes down to it, they will be there for each other…even if sometimes things are way messed up and secrets are kept and when revealed, can send someone into a tizzy that has the potential of catastrophic results….friendships and relationships are questioned and people are left hurting. But that doesn’t negate that each one of this group of friends are each other’s “person.”
The chemistry between Tucker and Charlie is unmistakable. When they give into their desire, holy moly!! What he doesn’t know though is that there may be an ulterior motive for her pursuing him at this exact moment in time…although it seems they’re both keeping secrets which leads to some very interesting, highly emotional moments in this book. Seeing how our H/h grow over the few months this book takes place was so wonderful. They really literally came into their own and admitted to themselves and those around them what they wanted out of life and are willing to make some sacrifices to get their ultimate HEA.
I have to say though that some of the most lighthearted moments in this book comes from Charlie’s cat Mr. Pootie…. OMG I was rolling when he was in a scene…he’s definitely a major character in this book and their lives.
When I turned the last page of this book, I immediately wanted to read it again….that’s how much I LOVED this story. Ms. Elliott has really stepped up her game with this book and series and has once again proven why she’s a go-to author for me and I can say with all certainty with all the books I’ve read this year, and it’s a lot, this book is in my Top 10 for 2018 it’s THAT GOOD!!! I can’t wait for the next book in this series!!

Their biggest problem was each other, but you knew they were meant to be together. Seduce Me by Kelly Elliott was a second chance romance that was angsty, had great banter and lots of chemistry. I cannot wait to read more of this series!

AMAZING…This new series from Kelly Elliott is sure to be just as amazing as her others, if not BETTER!! She snagged me from the first pages, and I could not put it down until I was finished. Such wonderful characters, descriptions of Austin and the story is just so… aaahhhh!!! The way Kelly spins her words to bring it all together just soothes the soul and takes you away to her world.
Young love becomes adult manipulation. Kelly Elliott brings on the sass. Seduce Me is a tempting look at how exes go about getting a second chance. Charleston is a firecracker with much to prove and a ton to make up for. Tucker is a brick wall that will not tumble easily. With a past that is littered with regret and a present that is full of hidden agendas the future may not be all too bright for their new beginning. Seduce Me does steam like only Kelly Elliott can. Tucker and Charleston prove that even the most broken of hearts, deserve the chance to heal.

5 Star Review Seduce Me (Austin Singles #1) by Kelly Elliott
I was so excited when I heard that Kelly Elliott had a new series and jumped at the chance to read and review. This is a second chance at love story, a friends to lovers, lovers to enemies and back again story.
Charleston “Charlie” Monroe walked away from Tucker Middleton 7 years ago and has not looked back. Now, she desperately needs his help, the question is, will he help?
Seduce Me was full of off the charts chemistry between Charlie and Tucker and had me riveted from the first to the last page, honestly I couldn’t put this book down and read it in almost one sitting.
Charlie needs Tucker’s help but will not tell him the reason. Their camaraderie and banter had me in stitches at times and I loved how fiery the relationship between Tucker and Charlie was. I adore Tucker, he really isn’t afraid to say what he wants and frankly his alpha tendencies left me in tatters.
Tucker and Charlie must come to terms with the past before they can contemplate a future together. Can Tucker forgive Charlie for walking away or is he bound to the bitter past?
You could tell that Tucker and Charlie really do belong together but circumstances continue to drive a wall between them. Seduce Me was an angsty yet fun read that I thoroughly enjoyed.
The secondary characters caught my attention and I eagerly anticipate the next story in the Austin Singles series. I do believe Ms. Elliott has another winning series on her hands.
This is book one in Kelly Elliott’s new series and if this one is anything to go by this series is going to be spectacular! Charleston and Tucker were two of my most favorite characters written this year!
Charleston, good lord did I fangirl over this her?! She was my everything! She was beautiful, strong, intelligent and oh so funny; I mean the girl just had it going on in spades. Even her clumsy moments were some-what done with finesse, okay not really but I don’t care cuz I just loved her lol….
Tucker has loved Charlie for such a long time and is still pretty sour for the way she did him wrong. He wants her and he wants pay back at the same time. Funny thing is when he finally gets his payback he realizes he wants her more than the revenge. Of course he makes a couple pretty awful mistakes along the way. I wanted to throat punch him, but in the end he redeems himself in the best of ways and I fell head over heals for him.
This was a great introduction to this new series and I cannot wait to get everyone else’s story!
OMG, this author Never disappoints me with her writing. I’m so excited to read this new Series. Charleston ( Charlie ) and Tucker have had a rocky relationship after she left him after the best weekend they had when they were in college. The love / hate they had for each other was tiring for their Best Friends. So when the unthinkable happens to Charlie to keep what she inherited she has to Seduce Tucker into wanting her so she can secure her legacy, but is it worth loosing him all over again the man she has loved for years. Can these two find the common ground to get to their happy ever after or are they destin to be enemies instead of lovers. This story will not disappoint you.
Anyone who knows me knows that second chance love stories are my jam. Seduce Me was no different. This book was filled to the brim with fiery chemistry and snarky banter. Charleston and Tucker had a complicated past which made way for explosive fireworks!
With this being my first Kelly Elliot novel, I was super excited to jump into Charleston “Charlie” Monroe and Tucker Middleton’s frenemies with benefits relationship. Without giving away spoilers, Charlie needs her former lover, Tucker to be with her but can’t tell him why. What follows is a hilarious story filled with the sassy back and forth that I love in spades. This story stood out from the rest though in that I could really feel the strong feelings Tucker and Charlie had for one another but kept bottled inside despite their constant game of one-ups-manship. The sexytimes were smoldering and the side characters were great. I can’t wait for more! 4 stars! ~Ratula
