Just be seduced by Ms. Ryan's prose

Nan Ryan's historical romances set against the lush western frontier is definite to please- and with a story of Ellen Corneius as a spinster bound to her spoiled aunt Alexandra embarking on a quest to immortality, Ellen finds a taunting challenge especially Steve Corey whom she believes is a charlatan. They embark on an expedition to the Lost City in search of magic water to prolong Alexandra's youth.Rest assured, sensuality and full-blown passion is her triumph in this novel but with an exquisite tenderness and compunction for the characters as well - it is though difficult to accept the drastic change of demeanour towards the end when her aunt gains redemption, and the lovers treating each other with mutual respect. Ellen as a prim spinster and she matches well and feisty as the leading lady; Steve is equally enigmatic and dark as a hero. As a romance, logic is cast aside - just be seduced by Ms. Ryan's passionate writing.

Ellen and Steve, what a romance!

This was my first Nan Ryan book, I loved it. Ellen was a sad, lonely woman until she met Steve. Steve, not even being interested in the cold, plain, widow, surprises you with his eventual interest in Ellen, even to the point of (Well you know what I mean...). The love scenes are sensual. This book is well written and the characters keep you interested. I look forward to reading her other books!

The Seduction OF Ellen

Once again, Nan Ryan raises the bar for the genre. With an adventurous tale, she blends cultures, characters and folklore and takes the reader several steps beyond passion. Ellen meets her match in the sensual hero, Mr. Corey. The attraction is mutual and sends the reader into a searing look at intimacy. Do not plan to curl up with the intent of being lulled to sleep. This is some of Nan Ryan's finest work to date.
