This is probably the best story in the series hands down. A little sweet and a little sexy, it's a great weekend read and a truly enjoyable story. Can't wait to see what's next.

His to Seduce is a steamy, emotional read. David has been attracted to Camden since he first met her when he showed up to support Aidan when his son died in a freak accident (His to Cherish). But, Camden has resisted his many charms until they're all in Jamaica for Tyson and Blue's wedding (His to Love), when David is done with Camden's resistance and goes all out to seduce her into letting go and having some fun with him on the beautiful beaches of Jamaica. To Camden's credit, she allows him to seduce her into having fun, and goes along with everything he suggests. She doesn't really let him in, but she does decide maybe she can throw aside her lists and just let go for awhile.

All is going along swimmingly until she throws a holy fit over something that quite frankly, she had no business being upset over, and runs back home, leaving David upset at himself and her for running. From then on, David is set on not just seducing her, but getting her to open up. He planned on telling her his secrets, and he does have a few, nothing bad though, but he just hadn't found the right time. I got really, really frustrated with Camden at this point, she was closed off, bitchy and a hypocrite, demanding he be completely honest with her, when she had no intentions of telling him any of what troubled her. In fact, if I had liked Camden at all, I would have given His to Seduce a 5 star review for sure. But, Camden put me off, a lot. I admire and respect her for what she had gone through as a child, but I definitely do not like her and I never connected with her. David, on the other hand, made the story for me. He is so sweet, and giving, with a huge heart, and sexy to boot. I just wish Camden had been his equal.

Regardless of Camden's unlikability, His to Seduce is well written with strong emotional and physical chemistry, and is a great entry in this already awesome series. I hope there's more to come from Stacey Lynn and the Fireside crew.

Received from NetGalley for review.

Three out of five stars.

I read this but to be quite honest, I had to skim if I was ever going to get through it. Camden was so wishy-washy, I really didn't care for her. She got mad at David for not telling her he was a doctor? What? To her, "He was just a bartender, with no life ambitions." Not quoted from the book but that's what I got from her.

I gave this a three because others may like this but it wasn't a remember for me. I really like this author but Camden left a not so good impression on me.

To note: A relative of mine went to a very well known "state college" and is now a bartender instead of her major. The reason, she makes more money than the major she chose. Bottom line everybody has a story, get to know them before criticizing their choices and reasoning for doing so. Comfort doesn't always come in the form of money.

His To Seduce is the fourth and final book in Stacey Lynn's Fireside series. Set in Detroit, this story brings together Fireside Grill bartender David and accountant Camden, whom he's been pursuing for months.
Written in the first person the story switches from Camden's point of view to David's. It's a bit like reading their journals as they each tell bits of the story. I found this a little disconcerting at first but you do fall into the pattern of the story after a little while.
Both Camden and David have secrets in their past which hold them back from committing fully to a relationship. Each finds it difficult to open up both to each other and to their friends.
The plot revolves around the growing relationship between Camden and David and deals with issues such as sexual abuse and anxiety. The story is well balanced and moves at a steady pace and held my interest throughout. I enjoyed it as I've enjoyed the other three stories in this series.

His to Seduce by Stacey Lynn is the forth book in the Fireside Series, but can be read it as a stand alone novel. Sometimes I just see a book’s cover and the description begs me to read it. This was one of those books. I really liked this romance novel a lot… it was filled with drama, lots of drama. Touching characters (a little heartbreaking at times) that I liked, and of course a steamy romance. I liked the authors writing and good solid story development. She left me wanting to read more of her books, and that’s a good thing. So if you like steamy romances filled with drama and swooning characters, then I highly recommend His to Seduce by Stacey Lynn.

I 100% love this series. His to Seduce is no different. It adds perfectly to the series.

David and Camden's chemistry is off the charts. It's hot, sexy, grabs your attention and doesn't release you until the last word written. Another success for Stacey Lynn!!!!

First book that I have read from Stacey Lynn and I truly enjoyed her style of writing! The well written storyline and the well developed characters just pulled me into the story from the very beginning and kept me there until the very end! I look forward to reading more from this author.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

This is the second book that I've read in this series and while it's part of the Fireside Series, it really can be read on it's own which I LOVED.

This is David and Camden's story and they've been fighting their attraction for a long time...until a fated night in Jamaica brings them together for a one-time night...yeah, not so much. You know that saying once you've tasted heaven you want more? Well, David wants Camden and he's going to do whatever he can to make her his permanently!

I really connected with Camden and her struggle to get where she's at and not wanting to "settle" for less than she thinks she deserves. However, what she doesn't realize is that even though David is slinging it behind the bar instead of doctoring people, there's a reason for this and when these two finally get some of their secrets out in the open, all bets are off.

This book is so well put together and I truly felt brought into David and Camden's world solely because of Ms. Lynn's words. She has an ability to draw such crystal clear pictures when she's telling a story that you can't help but fall in love with her characters and their story. I'm totally going to be reading the other books in this series now!!

As always I'm sad to see the ending of a series.

The author did a great job with wrapping things up and once again pulling us into an an amazing story with two characters, Camden and David. This can be read alone but I don't think you would want to miss the series. These two like so many others have broken pasts which tend to get in the way. But the chemistry goes a long way.

I won't give anymore away but I will say that this is a great series with an author who you can tell puts her heart and soul into her characters.

His to Seduce is the fourth book in the Fireside series but you don't need to have read all of them to enjoy this one. The story is told in first person alternating between Camden and David.

This story grabbed me right from the get-go. Camden has worked hard for everything she has. While she is attracted to David she feels she needs more security than a bartender can provide. She doesn't know that David is a doctor running from a tragedy that makes him question his chosen vocation.

This book hit all of my emotions and I loved it. David has many secrets that he hasn't told Camden and being a doctor is only one of them. When all is revealed it shakes her faith in her ability to trust people. The sexual chemistry between these two is off the charts HOT!

I really enjoyed His to Seduce and look forward to reading more books by this author.

A review copy was provided by the publisher via NetGalley but this did not influence my opinion or rating of the book.

His to Seduce is the final book in a series, and though it stands alone, I believe the best reading experience comes from having read the series. The dynamics among the characters and their back stories make for a more fulfilling read, as filling in the blanks completes the experience. Ms. Lynn's characters are layered and interesting, and they speak with clear voices. Their stories are entertaining and the endings satisfying. Do yourself a favor and read the series.

I was impressed with my first Stacey Lynn/ Fireside book. I usually prefer to read books within a series in order but, when this was offered for review I couldn't resist reading it immediately. Turns out, I am glad I did...as I enjoyed this tale.

The story begins during their friends Jamaica wedding. The scene is spiced with dirty promises-
Camden's thoughts: "I wanted what...he could give me with one heated look."
David's words: "Camden, I want you to know that when I sink into you, when I push your panties to the side and run my fingers through your wetness, this isn't a one-time thing for us. This is the beginning."


Recommended a either a stand-alone - but I plan to follow this up with the first three installments.

Love the fight that David is going through inside. He is trying to be himself, find a way to reconcile his life of who he was, what he wants, who he wishes to be and where he is going. At the moment he is in dark. He feels guilt and sadness. As if the life he wanted isn’t worth it. It is Camden that has him see that he can be all he is meant to be and not lose part of himself.

David is a strong character. He shows Camden not to judge a book by its cover and she shows him the past cannot always control you although she has a struggle with that as well. These two push each other beyond their comfort zones and for David it helps him see things differently and to heal. For Camden it draws her further in at first but over time she realizes that it doesn’t have to be one way or the other. You can have love, balance, happiness and life. You can be accepted and loved for who you are and not where you come from or what you are. David shows her this and more while she shows him the way back to being who he is meant to be.

They are both warm kind characters that draw you into their life and story. David is more laid back and interesting to watch as he works through his demons without pushing others away. Camden is more complex in how she goes about things but worth the risk to me for David. Together they draw you into a sensual and fun story about love, finding oneself, forgiveness and acceptance.

A beautiful story that made me laugh and cry

Ms Lynn does it again with His To Seduce. I have read every book in this series and each couple and their story has found a place in my heart. Like the other books, Campden and David’s story is every bit as heartwarming filled with emotion, humor and romance and steamy goodness.

David McGregor is hiding out at Declan’s bar, The Fireside Grill. A heartbreaking event at the hospital he works has him questioning a career in medicine. To everyone outside his close circle of friends David is seen as just the bartender. David is more than he seems, and he’s not about to reveal that bit about himself because women never see him but what the family legacy can provide. But for the past 6 months, he’s danced around his attraction, flirted with one suspicious and stubborn female, Campden Reed. He’s about to take the flirting stage to new sexual heights.

Campden Reed is wary of men, having grown up poor with a single mom. She’s had to work hard paying her way through college. Now as an accountant and a professional with an accounting firm, her days are filled work and very little play. David wants to unravel the uptight business woman who’s intriguing, innocent but is holding something back. Campden hides a devastating past that leaves her with trust issues and prevents her to easily accept love. It was heartbreaking to read about what happened to Campden when she was younger.

It’s when Tyson and Blue are married in the Caribbean that provides a perfect backdrop to a sexual romp for David and Campden. Campden can’t believe the many firsts David introduces her to: cliff jumping, parachuting, snorkeling and he’s proven to be a generous lover like no man she has ever known.

His To Seduce is the fourth and final book in The Fireside series, and I’ll miss each couple and their stories. I loved David’s character who is such a lovable guy, sensitive and gentle. And how patient he was with Campden to coming around. It was rough going but they found their HEA. Great epilogue that tied everything together.

I was given a copy by Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept via NetGalley. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

His to Seduce is the final installment in the Fireside series, it is compelling, amorous, and sexy as hell. There wasn’t a time while reading this book did I feel rushed, as a matter of fact, it piqued my interest and kept me up till 2:00 a.m. to finish the book. I didn’t want to put the book down and go to bed, it was because David and Camden made me cried when they bared their souls talking about the past. Their relationship has depths, very passionate, good chemistry, and nothing beat a heartfelt happy ending.

David McGregor is a player, or at least that’s what he wants the world to think. He has a hard exterior and often wear a disgruntle mask. He doesn’t want anyone asking about his past, his family legacy, or where he’d been, and what he’s done. However, he’s tired of the loneliness so David decided to come home to be near his family and friends. Taking up bartending at his friend’s restaurant, David have no shortage of female companionship, until he laid eyes on “Miss Proper” Camden Reed.
Camden Reed is not the laid-back kind of girl, she is tightly wound, poor, and live within her means. She’s had a hard life, a hard worker, and definitely not some play-boy’s flavor of the month. But despite her constrain, she is drawn to David and stupidly attractive to him. But no matter how hard she tries to play it cool, to refuse him, the sexual tension between them is always there. It’s like little flickers waiting to turn into flame.

His to Seduce by Stacey Lynn is the 4th book in the Fireside Series. David and Camden’s story is a hot, steamy & emotional romance. I loved this book and this series. This author has a way of writing that gets you hooked from the beginning and you can’t put the book down until the end. I highly recommend this book!!

After experiencing trauma and near-poverty conditions as a child, Camden works relentlessly to achieve her goals. She claims she doesn't have time or energy for a relationship. Therefore, she repeatedly turns down David's offers for a date. Her friends believe she won't date David because he's a bartender, but that's far from the truth!

David experienced the loss of his dad as a young child. He felt helpless as he watched his dad die. So he decides to become a doctor in hopes that no one has to experience the pain of loss as he did. Only, that's life and everyone eventually dies. Upon seeing the pain of a father David has to tell that his wife passed away, David decides to run. David tends bar for Declan until he figures out his life. In the meantime, he pursues Camden.

The heat and passion between these two is undeniable! It's heartbreaking to watch Camden relive her past so that she may move on to possibly have a life with David. David is supportive, loving, and patient with Camden. I love how their story unfolds and how they "find" themselves. Stacey Lynn captured their spirit and love for each other through their actions. This is the 4th novel in the Fireside series and can be read as a stand alone. I recommend reading the series in order though. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

This is a great, emotional book, just like all the rest in the series. I'm sad it's ending. I posted a review on Goodreads.
