I have chosen to DNF this title. I usually enjoy the Entangled suspense line, but this one, for some reason, did not hold my attention and I was never able to become engaged with the story. I did not like Francesca and found her to be incredibly naive about the things going on around her, which made it difficult to relate to her. As this would have been a 1 or 2 rating were I to finish, I have elected to DNF.

I look forward to the next title through your company.

Thank you,

Maybe it was just me, maybe I wasn't in the mood for this trope, but this was not an enjoyable read for me. Francesca was TSTL. She was willfully ignorant and I was rooting for the bad guys. Smith was almost as bad. I did finish it because I liked the story, the plot was interesting, and I wanted to see how it ended. But the characters made me skim a lot of it because I was so disgusted with them.

This was a pretty good read for me although I do think I would have enjoyed it even more if I had read the prior books in the series. The writing is excellent, the characters are well done and likeable for the most part. There is a steamy romance between Caleb and Francesca with a bit of mystery and suspense thrown. The story takes lots of twists and turns which keep you on the edge of your seat. Definitely one I will be recommending.

Sooo Good! 4.5 Stars!

I love it when some suspense is included in a hot romance and this one did not disappoint. The story starts out by ramping up the anticipation factor and heat between Caleb and Francesca and never stops through the entire book.

With plenty of twists and turns in the book, it is hard to remember that Caleb is one of the good guys, or is he? A natural protector, he finds himself in several precarious positions which leaves you wondering where the story is headed.

One thing you don't have to worry about is the amazing heat level between the two. Caleb is super sexy and honestly, I would love to have one like him all for myself! YUM!

The author brings us a steamy story with plenty of action and suspense that makes you shut out the world and just read. Definitely a winner and an author I need to see more often!

WOW! This story is full of deception, danger, romance. I love these kinds of books. The story is fast paced and is freaking HOT!! I loved the chemistry between Caleb and Francesca, it was off the charts and it was not just a one sided seduction which made it even hotter!
This story has lots of twists that really kept me on my toes.... Trying to figure out who is behind everything, all the hot seduction and suspense! Just WOW!!!
This is my first book by this author but it definitely will not be my last

Meh...this one was OK for me. There wasn't anything wrong with it per se. I just don't particularly like the whole "I am going to seduce you as a means to an end" trope. Mostly because I spend the entire book with a knot in my stomach feeling bad for the party in the dark.

In this book that scenario lasted for 90% of the plot. Alas, the longer it went on and as more and more people became involved. Francesca's remaining in the dark about Caleb using her and (EVERYTHING else under the sun) had the unfortunate effect of me feeling like she was an idiot. It also turned me off of Caleb and his friends. And because she doesn't find out everything until WAY late in the book the ending felt rushed to me. Caleb certainly needed to do a hell of a lot more groveling in my opinion.

So ya, I didn't love it. I still think this author can write a great book and there was twists and turns and action galore. So it's worth a read for that alone.

I want to be seduced by sin if he comes in the form of Caleb Smith. Just look at the cover. Enough drooling. I have not read the first two books in this series and even though this is a standalone book I feel that I would have had a better grasp on Caleb’s background if I had. Even without full knowledge, I could gather what he was liked in the past. There is sometimes a fine line between a crook and a good guy and it can be blurry like Caleb’s character in this story. You really had to pay attention to everything that was happening or you might be lost. I really liked that about this book. Not all fluff. I liked Francesca and I do not believe she actually bought into everything that was told to her. She knew her mind and when Caleb tried to tell her that it was all just show you could understand her feelings of betrayal and loss. Caleb and Francesca were great together. One thing I wished was that there was a little more tension between them. There is great action especially after Francesca is kidnapped.

The first time I've read a Kris Rafferty book and I have to say I LOVED this. It hooked me in from the very start. The mystery and suspense worked in with the deceit and a touch of romance was totally entertaining. The twists and turns had me wondering the whole time how the story would end and who was good and who was bad. The action was fast paced and the characters were a great mix too. Thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish.

Kris Rafferty's books are a must read. Loved how Caleb went in and ended up engaged to Francesca. She told Caleb there was no way she was going to marry him in the end. It was like a roller coaster ride reading this book..Loved it.

overall not a bad story. Good writing and plot Thanks!

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!

Reading this was like jumping off a cliff with no tether. The story was fast paced, ever changing, totally freaking hot and the suspense gave me palpitations. So cleverly woven, who is the man behind the curtain pulling the strings. Don't let that title fool you.

Caleb, I could only visualize this over the top piece of man, who sets about to wait out his time with Francesca. It's her engagement party. Prearranged by her dying business mogul father, who is set to pick a man for her to marry to carry on his business. Francesca is no wilting flower, she's a psychologist, waiting to start a teaching job at Harvard, works with at risk inner city kids and only home because her father is dying. They have no relationship at all. At best he tolerates her. She knows that. She is absolutely opposed to this arranged marriage crap.

The party carries on as she and Caleb slip away up to her room where they finish business. These two engaged in mutual seduction. Wasn't one sided. Their chemistry was off the charts. What she doesn't know it seems is that Caleb is there undercover, the FBI wants her fathers ledger to prove what a sick criminal her really is. Daughter dear is clueless. These two grow close quickly and listening to Caleb waffle in his head about her was great. So attracted to her, yet doesn't want to hurt her.

During the party things take a major swing and Caleb now finds himself as the groom to be. Francesca is barely tolerating the arranged thing, but it's their relationship (read hot freaking sex) these two can't keep their hands off each other, that binds them. Caleb keeps reassuring her that it will all work out.

This story has so many twists and turns with some minor characters coming into play, you honestly didn't know who was what and who was pulling the strings and also enter people from Caleb's past.
Good people. When a ghost from the past enters the story, it puts a whole new spin on things. From that point on it's a guessing game. You have to read and wait, and wait and wait. Lots of breath holding. Wait, what? Why is she there? Who manipulated who and who will survive this human chess game.

What a tale Kris has crafted here. Amazing and held may attention the entire book through, you do not want to miss this one. The plot is insanely good, twisted, the sex is raw and panty melting and the suspense will turn your knuckles white. This one is not to be missed. Incredible book Kris!
I loved it!

**arc from NetGalley and Entangled in exchange for a fair review**

excellent hot read. loved it

Just keeps getting better this is the third book in the series and my favorite so far i just loved Caleb and Francesca they were super hot together.I just loved it had me hooked right from the start and i could not put it down.This is a hot and steamy romance and i would recommend it.

LOVED!!! Wow, just, wow! This book grabbed my attention from the first page and kept it until the very last page. This began with Caleb, an undercover FBI agent, trying to make a deal with a criminal mastermind in an effort to take down his organization.

As part of Caleb's undercover persona, he begins flirting with the tyrant's daughter, Francesca. Before long, their attraction sparks between them, adding another level of complexity to Caleb's undercover operation.

This captivating novel has twists and turns far beyond a typical romantic suspense....I couldn't see the hidden elements until the author revealed them....keeping me guessing throughout the novel.

If you are looking for a substantial book that will make you care about the characters and guessing until the very end, you have found it in this novel. This is a must read for fans of the genre.

While this is part of a series, it is a stand alone book. The author is on my must read authors' list.

RC received for review

Third book but a total stand-alone (no I haven't read the first two). I've heard that they are all interconnected, but I couldn't tell there had been two previous books other than the two couples that show up. Francesca wasn't a spoiled rich girl, but one that desperately wanted her father's love. Caleb thinks he's just running a con for the FBI until he falls for her. Lots of players and some double-crosses that keep me dizzy for a little bit. Plus Francesca said that Caleb was the first guy she kissed, but it didn't sound like it she was a virgin later that night.

Seduced By Sin, the third book in the Unlikely Hero series was awesome and gives us some closure finally. Seduced By Sin, could be read as a stand alone, but I think would have a better effect read in order since they each have the same characters and the plots are kind of connecting.
Caleb is the haunted bad boy that Francesca feels the need to help. Not knowing how much danger she is in since she's pretty much left in the dark by everyone. Caleb can't help but fall hard for Francesca. He knows that he'll end up hurting her and is unable to stop it from happening.
This book is full of steamy romance and kick ass suspense.
