Summary: The Seduction of Ellen"
Comment: "This is the first book I've read of Nan Ryan's- but it sure won't be the last!! I loved "The Seduction of Ellen"- it was thrilling and very sexy!!!"
Rating: 2
Summary: Had the makings of a good story but it fizzled
Comment: In 1899, divorcee Ellen Cornelius accompanies her octogenarian Aunt Augusta to London. The wealthy, crusty senior citizen seeks an elixir that will allow her to live forever. In England, the two Americans meet medicine salesman Steve Cory and his associate Padjan, allegedly an Anazasi.
Steve and Padjan agree to escort Augusta to the latter's Indian village where they insist a fountain of youth can be found. Ellen believes Steve and his cohort are clever con artists, shilling her aunt. However, the quartet travels to and across America. On the journey, Steve begins THE SEDUCTION OF ELLEN and soon they make love several times during the trek in places that will hurt the back. Still, though attracted to him, she hates him for what he is doing to her aunt and to her.
THE SEDUCTION OF ELLEN is an amusing historical romance that never decides whether to be a satire or a serious work. The story line succeeds when the plot winks at the sub-genre and Nan Ryan's previous novels, but ironically falls short when the tale turns serious as with the graphic sex scenes. A key secondary plot never ties back to the main theme leaving the audience wondering why Ellen's visit to the Citadel is included. Though often humorous, award winning Nan Ryan's latest novel is not at the level expected from this superstar.

Summary: Unrealistic , fuzzy charatcer depth..don't bother buying it
Comment: Nan Ryan is usually one of my favorite authors but I was disappointed with her new book, The Seduction of Ellen. The characters wer one-dimensional and boring. The love scenes, which are usually a Ryan specialty, were phony and even downright perverted at some parts. The details were scare and I often shook my head in incredulousness at the plot. If you want a good historical romance, this isn't the book to get. Try another Nan Ryan novel such as "Wanting You".
