The second Perfect Gentlemen novel from the New York Times bestselling authors of the Masters of MΓ©nage series.
Privileged, wealthy, and wild: they are the Perfect Gentlemen of Creighton Academy. But the threat of a scandal has one of them employing his most deceptiveβ€”and seductiveβ€”talents…
Recruited into the CIA at a young age, Connor Sparks knows how dirty the world can be. Only when he’s with his friends can he find some peace. So when an anonymous journalist threatens one of the Perfect Gentlemen, Connor vows to take down the person behind the computer, by whatever means necessaryβ€”even if it means posing as his target’s bodyguard.
Publishing a tabloid revealing Washington’s most subversive scandals has earned Lara Anderson the ire of the political sceneβ€”and a slew of death threats. To keep herself from ending up a headline, Lara hires a bodyguard, a man as handsome as he is lethal.
When the bullets start to fly, Lara is surprised to find herself in Connor’s arms. But as they begin to unravel a mystery that just might bring down the White House, Lara is devastated when she discovers Connor’s true identityβ€”and finds herself at the mercy of forces who will stop at nothing to advance their deadly agenda.

Cocktails and Books received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.

A friendship formed as young men becomes a bond no one will ever be able to break. They were dubbed the perfect gentlemen. Powerful, privileged and wealthy, these men would do anything for each other, even risk losing everything they’ve worked for, including their own lives.

The original plan was to go in undercover as Lara’s bodyguard, find out everything she had on his friends and shut her down if need be. Somehow within hours of meeting her things got complicated. Now, a new abridged mission in place, Connor must keep Lara alive, find out who’s trying to kill her, and save his friends. But in doing so, will he be able to keep the girl when she finds out the truth of who he really is.

Although familiar with both authors, this series was completely new to me. The collaboration of Shayla Black and Lexi Blake is a stroke of genius. Black and Blake have managed to write a story so seamless you would never guess that it was written by two authors, not one. Enjoyable characters and a gripping story line, Seduction in Session will have you wondering whodunit even as you root for the romance between Connor and Lara to somehow make it through the lies. This mystery within a mystery will keep you guessing until the very end.
