Wicked Persuasion by Tierney O'Malley
Publisher: Extasy Books
Genre: Erotic Romance
Review Copy Received from Author
Summary: For successful businesswoman, Diana O'Connor, it was love at first sight the moment she met Todd at the age of seventeen. She didn't waste time expressing her love through letters. But after a year of no response from him, she accepted the shattering truth that her brother's best friend, Todd Fox, will never see as her more than an annoying brat. She moved on and loved another.
Years later and unexpectedly, Todd expressed his love and asked for her hand in marriage. When she refuses to believe him, he tries all the wicked ways to make her accept his love. Including the most explicit sexual intimacy imaginable. This fuels her desire and sweeps her away.
Top-notch engineer, Todd William Fox, never intended to hurt Diana's feelings by ignoring her letters. She was young and off-limits. Now, after years of watching her turn into a beautiful headstrong woman, he loses his heart to her. When Diana's brother gives him the go signal to pursue her, he sets out on persuading Diana into his arms and into his bed. But will the chatterbox Diana give her heart the way she yielded her body to him-- wholeheartedly?
Kathy’s Review: In Wicked Persuasion Tierney O’Malley has two people who’ve known each other for years, and to a degree, have taken each other for granted. But when Todd is faced with losing Diana to another man, the blinders are finally off and he’s ready to do whatever it takes to make her his. Diana’s sure that she’s moved on from her youthful love for Todd; she’s grown up and ready to make a life of her own... and if she can rub Todd’s nose in it, well so much the better!
There is a definite chemistry between the two, but at times Diana seems to be still fairly young; she’s apt to go off on Todd for no reason other than he’s there. It did get a little tiresome now and again, but it was a genuine reaction to a big hurt. I could certainly live with it.
Todd is sexy; but he’s also been a bit of a slut... all in an effort to take his mind off Diana. I really liked that once he figured out the whys of his actions, he was going all out and being open about his feelings and doing something about it.
They’re good people; just not all that great at admitting what they’re feeling, until they can no longer ignore it. The danger threatening Diana was definitely a major catalyst.
The secondary characters, Todd’s friends, married and single, were fantastic. In fact, I got the feeling that Wicked Persuasion isn’t the first book, so I did a little investigating. It turns out that Ms. O’Malley has two books previous to this one ~ To Trust A Wicked Man and Wicked Proposal; I do so enjoy connected stories.
If you’re a romantic at heart; if you enjoy a hero and heroine that strike sparks off each other that then leads to a sizzling and sexy conclusion; if you like a touch of danger to add a spice to your romance then I definitely suggest you check out Tierney O’Malley’s Wicked Persuasion. And while you’re at it look into the other books in her Wicked series. The stories standalone, but together they work as a complete and satisfying whole.

Wow.. just goes to show what a day away from the computer can do!
Thank you everyone for stopping by.
Tierney it was my pleasure and I've added the two previous books as well as Wicked Knight to by TBB.
Yey! Thanks Kathy. I wrote Wicked Knight long time ago and pushed it back in my back burner. I think the original title was My Own Knight. A friend told me that I should finish it. I'm glad I did.
I am working on Irresistible Knight right now. Hopefully this one will get accepted. Again, thanks for the awesome review of Wicked Persuasion.
