Daily Online Read: Grayson Prentice's Seduction by Bronwyn Scott

Great dramatic start to this new daily read!  I know Grayson survives, but man, what a struggle!

Wondering if he meets Elena tomorrow?????  Guess I'll have to wait to find out!!!!

I love the dramatic start in this new Historical Read!  It really leaves us hanging on for dear life!

Thank goodness this is a daily read, but it's still hard to wait for more tomorrow!

I can hardly wait to see what happens next!  I think we're in for a rocky ride -- but what a ride it will be!

unofficially met!  And I'm sure it's a good/bad thing that people are already commenting on how much he looks like her husband.  It can't just be one of the two... 

I wonder if our author will visit us here.....

It is great to see the enthusiasm for this story. When my editor called me about it, I was overly thrilled to get the chance to share Grayson's story. He actually shows up in the upcoming book Notorious Rake, Innocent Lady.

My agent and I are currently discussing the idea of moving this to a full length story. Let me know what you think.

Make sure to check out my website as well!

If you have any other questions, make sure to let me know!

Enjoy the read!

I keep wondering how they will conive to save her from the other guy.

I love your thoughts on this one. One of the things I wanted to do with this one is keep you guessing!

Have fun with it!

Forgot to tell you Bronwyn (Nikki), I just finished Pickpocket Countess last weekend!  Loved it  Now I have to get Notorious Rake.  I read the excerpt and see that it's Gray's family!  Should I wait to read it after this online is done? or does it stand on it's own?  I hate reading series out of order

I'm glad you loved PICKPOCKET COUNTESS. As far as the online read goes, it really doesn't matter what you read first. Grayson's story is just an attachment. They are stand alones.

I try to have all of my stories work as stand alone's even though I love to have the characters connected. I did this with my series at Avalon as well. The characters that show up in THE DOWAGER'S WAGER all continue to appear in each of the following books. I have always felt it adds a little depth to the stories. Once you get to know some of the secondary characters, it's always fun to see them come back again.

Oooh la la!  The servants always know.

I so totally agree with what you said!

Poor Grayson!  Being in bed with a beautiful woman he doesn't yet know, but would definitely like to know better, no memory, and being discovered by the servants!  WOW!

The plot is thickening, and I'm loving it!  Can hardly wait for tomorrow!

Bronwyn, I'm definitely going to have to get Pickpocket Countess and Notorious Rake!

I am working on ideas for their stories right now. I'm sort of in the middle of some projects right now but they are on the drafting phase right now! Don't worry!

She's not going to tell him.

Yep, Elena is not feeling compelled to tell Grayson the truth but she will suddenly realize shortly that when someone masquerades as her husband, it's a two way street--she has to masquerade as said husband's wife. And Grayson makes it clear he wants his wife in all ways.

I am glad that this is a daily.  Hope he gets a chance to fall in love with Elena before he finds out that they are not really married.

because they have a tendency to hurt people, and they all end up coming out in the light of day.  If he had his memory, she could at least argue her point and they could find a way to help each other.  (Not that she knows yet he needs help, but still.)

It only gets more exciting, and this is especially for those of you who think you see where this is going.

I had a lot of fun on this section!

Have fun!

Oh oh oh oh oh!

the link FF put up and going to Chapter 7 through "read"  at the bottom of the page work

Ah, Nikki .... naughty, naughty, naughty!   .... yummmmmm   ..... I love a man who cuts to the chase  ...  now how is Eleana going to dance around his determination? ... or does she even want to?  ......

is it tomorrow yet?  LOL

Yep!  He definitely has turned the tables on her!  What a man!

I hate to say it, but I'm wondering if Don Alicante had something to do with the disappearance of her husband in the first place...

Nikki, I love your work!  I wish you could post several chapters at a time.  LOL!

I can hardly wait to see what happens tomorrow!!!!!

I know there's a whole word count thing, but you can't blame a gal for wanting more!!!!!

So yesterday, he talked to Elena about 'his' life and 'their' relationship....  His kindness, taking the tray she'd brought in for him, his ASKING her to stay with him while he ate and about 'their' past relationship.  Talk about a gentleman!  And a seductive one to boot. 

As for Mr. Meanie (Don Alicante, I just like using Mr. Meanie better....  LOL!), I think he KNOWS her husband is dead, probably saw and got rid of the body, so he'll be sure to raise up lots of questions.  Either that, or her husband's alive and on his property, held captive by Mr. Meanie, so either way, he knows Grayson isn't the rightful lord of the manor.

I love the fact that Grayson is aware of lots of things, even though he doesn't remember anything about his former life.  I can't wait to see how things heat up with he and Elena soon!!!

Don Alicante is definitely the villain here. One story line that will be explored in a fuller length story is that he tinkers with the light house light. Although nothing comes of it in terms of plot for this story, I think still left in the section in earlier chapters about how dark it was the night Grayson's ship wrecks and how Grayson wonders if the light house had been lit and of course in a longer story, part of Grayson's memory return will confirm that Don Alicante has long plotted to steal Alejandro's land and did tinker with the lighthouse to wreck some ships, Alejandro's particularly.

As to the deception issue--yep, I wrestled with how far to take the deception on Elena's behalf. But in the end, I wanted her to be a tough heroine and sometimes we've got to make the hard choices in order to save ourselves. She does have a conscience though and later next week there's a scene where she's thoroughly feeling guilty and she starts to think maybe she should tell Grayson (I'm not saying she does tell him....)

Finally, as for more on Mr. Meanie, Don Alicante makes a couple appearances in the story--probably next week and he gets to square off with Grayson/Alejandro.

I have to say I forgot I decided Grayson had to have an introspective moment for chapter 8. I opened up the chapter this morning and thought "Shucks, they're not going to have their "night" until chapter 10. Still, introspection is good so we're on the hooks until Friday.

You have to love a gentle, decent, and passionate man who knows he wouldn't have been content to leave his marriage in turmoil, even though he doesn't remember his marriage!  Doesn't hurt anything that he's attractive, too.  Yum!  Can't wait for things to heat up.

I like that Grayson and Elena are both decent people. He's very honest and she's got a good heart although she's been forced to at least begin doing something a little dishonest (well, OK alot dishonest) but she's thinking about her future reasonably and the future of those who depend on her and using what limited resources she has.

While reading the first few chapters, I kind of guessed that Grayson may take the role of Elena's protector...but it left me with too many questions like.. Grayson was having a home somewhere and will he be able to leave everything and settle along with Elena or will he take her to his place ? What about Alejandro - will it be confirmed that he is no longer alive ? Why not Elena just confess the whole truth from the start and ask his help openly rather than making him believe that he is her husband ? Whew.... too many questions ...but its all what-ifs...so I just left it like... the story so far is so good..but it did feel wrong that Elena slept with him by pretending to be his wife !! :( I wish Grayson could have fallen in love with Elena by himself rather than as a duty to reclaim his lost relationship with his wife...

I hope the story line does make us feel good in the end !!!!! Cant wait for the rest of the chapters though - just sitting on the edge of seat !
