This book has the same premise as Zack by Cheyenne McCray. Hero loved and betrayed the heroine only to reappear years later to make it all better. I only know this because I just read Zack and didn't like it at all. So when I picked this up as the next book to read, I actually put it back down and read something else but I needed a "Q" author for a challenge so picked it up again and I'm glad I did. It's a wonderful story - the romance is touching and the danger is real.
I think the greatest difference between Zack and Seducing the Moon is the chemistry between the hero and heroine. In Zack, chemistry was totally lacking which made for a tough read. There is great chemistry between Declan and Pelicia and you feel their emotions, frustrations and need. His werewolf senses tell him when she is aroused so no matter her denials, he knows she wants him. To protect her heart, Pelicia fights the attraction but Declan's just so sincere that she relents little by little.
Ryder and Taite (hero/heroine from Daring the Moon) play an important role in this book too. They are fun characters and it was great to get an update on what's been happening to them since Daring ended. Declan and Ryder's friend Sully appears in this one and is the hero in Taming the Moon.

The other two books in the series were so much better. I was looking forward to Declan and Pelicia's story and was disappointed by it. I found their chemistry a little flat and their dialogue boring. The idea had so much promise too. Their thoughts were redundant. I got really tired of hearing how everything was "my fault." Then out of nowhere Pel agreed that she was unjust in being angry at him for using her in the past. Also, Pel acted like an idiot in certain scenes. I don't want to spoil the ending but it's like watching a horror movie and seeing the girls walk into the basement after hearing a scary sound. For some reason, the transitions between scenes weren't smooth. Perhaps it was because the characters were confused so the book seemed choppy?
The story itself was okay. I would recommend it if you can borrow it from somewhere and if you are into this series. But I wouldn't spend real money on it.
