Surrender to sinful pleasures and forbidden passions with Masters of Seduction, the sizzling new paranormal romance novella series from New York Times and internationally bestselling authors Lara Adrian, Donna Grant, Laura Wright and Alexandra Ivy.
In the realm of the Incubi Masters, pleasure is to die for and love is the deadliest game of all ...

Merciless - House of Gravori ~ by Lara Adrian
Seeking vengeance for the murder of his brother, Incubus Master Devlin Gravori demands justice from the high court of the Nephilim. But fury and retribution are no match for the consuming desire he feels for Nahiri, the beautiful Nephilim warrior he claims as his hostage.

Soulless - House of Romerac ~ by Donna Grant
Incubus Master Canaan Romerac is focused solely on revenge against those who betrayed him and put him in the Oubliette for five hundred years. That is until he sets eyes on Rayna. Can the beautiful Nephilim heal Canaan’s wounded soul before it’s too late?

Shameless - House of Vipera ~ by Laura Wright
Sexy Incubus Master Scarus Vipera has grown weak, and the only thing that will strengthen him again is Rosamund, the power-rich female of the Harem. But the mysterious Nephilim is determined to leave the Harem untouched, her heart intact.

Ruthless - House of Xanthe ~ by Alexandra Ivy
Jian, Master of the House Xanthe, has devoted his life to returning his family to their former prominence. When he’s offered a contract to hunt down the missing Sovereign, he’s eager to accept. The last thing he expects is to encounter a stunningly beautiful angel who stirs more than his lust.

Merciless – House of Gravori by Lara Adrian opens the anthology with a compelling story of justice and retribution. I was drawn into the murky politics of the Nephilim high court right away by Devlin Gravori‘s resolute pursuit of vengeance and moody manner. Adrian‘s story is notable for striking a mix between action and sultry romance, giving the collection a solid start.

The tone of Donna Grant‘s Soulless – House of Romerac shifts to one of self-destruction and personal growth. Canaan Romerac is a fierce, vengeful guy, but his connection with Rayna gives him an intense emotional depth. Grant creates a fascinating world, and her ability to combine desire and intrigue keeps the pages turning.

Laura Wright‘s Shameless – House of Vipera is perhaps the most thought-provoking of the four. Scarus Vipera‘s conflict with his fading strength and his overwhelming need for Rosamund creates a powerful blend of frailty and might. By crafting a story that is both sensual and tense, Wright distinguishes this edition from others.

Last but not least, Alexandra Ivy‘s Ruthless – House of Xanthe concludes the first anthology with a romantic turn between Jian, a loyal Incubus Master, and an enigmatic angel. Their chemistry is electrifying, and the compilation gains a new depth from the unusual investigation of heavenly mythology. Ivy skillfully strikes a balance between Jian‘s growing yearning and his sense of duty to end the collection on a positive note.

What truly distinguishes Masters of Seduction is the complex relationships between the four storylines, which form a coherent plot within the same realm. The recurrent themes of atonement, forbidden love, and retribution elegantly connect all the stories, despite the fact that each one revolves around a different Incubus Master.

The anthology’s fast-paced plot and well penned suspense in each story kept me engaged from beginning to end. The Incubi Masters‘ complex power dynamics, forbidden attraction, and haunting mystique make for a fascinating read.

However, due to the stories’ short length, some character arcs and world-building elements might seem underdeveloped. Therefore other readers may believe that more depth or information is needed to fully immerse themselves in the complex universe.
But in conclusion, Masters of Seduction is a burning and fascinating record that combines sensuality with danger. Fans of urban fantasy and spicy romance will enjoy this compilation. An intriguing and sensual anthology that well deserves four stars!
