Seduced by Sunday was very tense, because a lot of both new and old secrets floated to the surface - unbeknownst to those implicated. The love story was awesome, and the suspense part had me holding my breath.

Kitabı incelemeden önce kapağa bayıldığımı belirtmek istiyorum. Daha uygun, daha muhteşem bir kapak yapılamazdı sanırım, Crystal Posey mükemmel bir iş çıkarmış yine.

Seduced by Sunday, "The Weekday Brides" ya da Türkçe'si ile "Yedi Gün, Yedi Düğün" serisinin 6. kitabı. Geriye sadece bir gün kaldı ve serinin bitmesini istediğimden emin değilim. Yaklaşık üç yıl önce ilk kitaba başladığımda İngilizce roman bile okumuyordum ve serinin neredeyse tamamını birkaç gün içerisinde bitirmek isteyecek kadar bağlanacağımı hiç düşünmemiştim.

Kitaplar sadece bir aşk romanından çok daha fazlası. Catherine Bybee çok iyi bir şekilde gerilimin dozunu ayarlayarak bambaşka yaşamları birbirine bağlıyor seri boyunca ve bu favori yazarlarıma yeni bir yazar eklenmesini sağlıyor.

Bu kitap da serinin diğer 5 kitabı kadar muhteşemdi. Ancak hala serideki favori kitabım ilk kitap olmaya devam ediyor. Bunda en büyük etken kitabı okumaya başladığım andan beri bütün gerilimli olayların arkasındaki kişinin kim olduğunu tahmin etmem ve olayların da tahmin ettiğim gibi ilerlemesi oldu. Ama bu kitabı sevmeme engel olmadı. Meg'in Val'e karşı olan tavrı, Val'in kendisini dizginlemeye çalışması, sürekli birbirlerine gelirken diğerinin çoktan ayrıldığından haberdar olmamalarına bayıldım. Ayrıca yazar bu kitapta Mikey'ye 5 kitaptır beklediğim HEA'yı yazdı nasıl sevmeyebilirim ki!?

Son kitap Gabi'nin hikayesini anlatıyor ancak ben bir okuyucu olarak Gabi'nin yeterince çektiğini düşünüyorum. Umarım çok gerilim içeren bir kitap olmaz ve Gabi yeniden güvenmeyi öğrenebilir son kitapta. Nefesimi tutarak, merakla okuyacağım.

Seduced by Sunday is the sixth installment in Catherine Bybee's enchanting Weekday Brides series. A lush tropical setting is the beginning of the romance for Meg Rosenthal and Valentino Masini but an intriguing mystery also takes the pair to the vineyards of Italy.

When Meg learns about a secluded location that could be a perfect fit for the clientele of the company she works for, she knows she has to investigate to see if it lives up to its stellar reputation. She, along with good friend (and über famous) Michael Wolfe, make plans to spend a week checking out the resort. Valentino (Val) is dead serious about protecting the privacy of his guests so he and Meg get off on the wrong foot when he is slow to grant her access to the island. Meg's anger quickly turns to attraction when she finally meets the very handsome and sexy Val, but she is not looking for love. He is also drawn to Meg, but since she is there with Michael, Val keeps his distance from the sultry beauty. But it soon becomes clear that someone is violating the guests' privacy and in order to protect Michael's privacy, Meg and Val team up to get to the bottom of the mystery and things begin to heat up between the couple.

Meg is extremely loyal to her friends and the company she works for. She is also feisty and quite fierce about protecting the people she cares about. She is a bit suspicious that the island is not quite as safe from prying eyes as everyone believes but when things appear to be on the up and up, she begins to relax her guard. She is quickly charmed by Val's sister Gabriella (Gabi) and his mother and she is thrilled to meet blues legend, Jim Lewis. Meg is a little dazzled by Val but she has absolutely no intention of beginning a romance with him.

Val is a shrewd businessman and the success of his island retreat hinges on providing complete and total privacy for his guests. They, along with his employees, are thoroughly vetted and he has yet to have a breach in security. But soon after Meg and Michael arrive, he begins receiving seemingly innocuous photos of him, Meg and Michael. When all remains quiet in the media, Val cannot fathom the motive for the pictures, but he quietly begins an investigation. However when Meg learns about the pictures, she jumps into action to keep Michael out of the limelight.

After Michael and Meg return to their regular lives, puzzling information about Gabi's fiancé, Alonzo, takes Meg, Michael and eventually, Val to Italy. Things do not quite add up about Alonzo's winery and Michael is determined to uncover the truth about his business. As the three of them are looking into the winery, Gabi finds herself in a precarious situation and soon everyone is in a race against time to rescue her before it is too late.

Seduced by Sunday is another captivating installment in Catherine Bybee's Weekday Brides series. Meg and Val are superbly developed characters and there is no denying the chemistry between them. The storyline is a fantastic mix of romance and mystery and the novel's conclusion is suspenseful and action-packed. All of the loose ends are wrapped up in a sweet and very romantic epilogue.

Although Seduced by Sunday can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend the previous novels in the Weekday Brides series as well.

Interesting

What I like about this series is that each book offers a different twist. You wouldn't think there wouldn't be that many choices you can come up with but this author has been able to do it. Can't wait to read the next book

Cute, but very predictable. I'm starting to feel Catherine Bybee uses the same recipe in all of her books. This book actually deserves two stars, but I gotta admite it was quite fun, so, three stars it is.

Seduced by Sunday is Book 6 in the Weekday Bride series and I still get excited when I hear there is a new one. I still search for all information on when it's coming out and I can't wait to dive in! That's the true testament to a winning series. Catherine's writing is so wonderful. It's full of humor, sass, sexiness, witty banter and friendship. I'm so glad that Meg finally got her story. And, I was so happy to see characters from the series, I miss them! Meg is working for Alliance and hears of a resort off the Keys where cameras and phones are not allowed. Giving their guests true privacy. She sets up a visit with Michael as her guest to check out if it's truly as private as they claim. Michael is very interested to know since he might have plans of his own. Val the owner of the resort and Meg exchange less than favorable emails before she is approved and when Meg meets Val he is nothing like she thought he'd be. He's tall, dark and majorly handsome. Val is instantly attracted to Meg and even though she's there with Michael he can't but help to want to get to know her better. There are some extremely funny moments (homemade pasta with Val's mom that made me miss my Grandma), amazing singing and suspense. The perfect combo for a great book. Meg and Val have intense chemistry but just when they think they can be together all hell breaks loose. Will Meg get caught in the crossfire? Will Val let her walk out of his life? I love these characters and I can't wait for more!

"How was it?" Michael asked
"Great. I mean, have you looked at the man?"
"Lots of lips, just the right amount of tongue?"
Meg squeezed her eyes shut, started to laugh. "How did you know?"
"Just a guess."

"Moral?"
"I'm a Catholic Jew. Eat the bacon! Don't eat the bacon, it's a sin. I’m already morally messed up."

I don’t do sleepovers. Yet she was wrapped around him like lips sucking a lime after a tequila shot, and he was hanging on for the ride.

"Life is too short to drink something you don't like."

Not one of her best. The storyline & plot are great, however, the writing in some areas is clumsy. Could have used a tad more proofing & editing in my opinion

Closer to 3.5 stars

A good book, but not one of the best in the series. They fell a little too hard and fast for each other. And the whole conflict of the story was a bit contrived. We shall see what the 7th and final book has in store...
