Review: To Seduce A Soul Mate #MFRWhooks

Finding a soul mate was the easy part. To seduce him proved to be Martin’s hardest challenge for nothing in Pirate Drake’s black intriguing eyes led on to the fate awaiting him. But can the month, between Thanksgiving and Christmas be enough to convince him of the contrary and overcome his dilemnas about gender, feelings connections and sex? Or can Pirate Drake find a way around the burning desire, the erotic heat, the uncontrollable passion wrecking his senses at Martin's mere sight?

Drugs, booze and sex. These are the three things that controlled Martin’s life for years. He tried to fill the hole caused by not finding his soulmate with these things, but nothing seemed to cure the problem. So one day he got tired of the drugs and booze and decided to just settle for what he could find alone. Little did he know that when he finally gave up would be when his soulmate finally appeared.

Drake thought this Thanksgiving would be like every other holiday at his parents’, but as soon as he got there he knew something was different. That was when he met the green-eyed, blond-haired devil, Martin. And like any devil, Martin is determined to seduce Drake.

I liked Ms. Tolomei’s realistic portrayal of the characters’ emotions. I felt like I was reading about real people with real issues. Not only is Drake reluctant to believe in Martin’s notion of “soulmate”, but he also has problems accepting the fact that his mate is actually male, and this male is not willing to settle for monogamy with his wife, let alone his soulmate. So Drake is skeptical that this is his other half. Yet no matter how much he fights it, Drake cannot help but feel this strange magnetic pull whenever he is around Martin. I appreciated that this was not just a fairy tale relationship – the characters faced real issues that real people face on a daily basis.

Not only is the story realistic from a plot standpoint, but also a character standpoint. Each character in this story had both positive and negative qualities. In many romance stories you find the hero and/or heroine is perfect. Perfect hair, perfect personality just perfect, perfect, perfect. To Seduce a Soulmate was richer because, although attractive, the characters do not seem perfect to the point that the reader cannot identify with them.

Martin needs to teach a class on seduction and sex because he definitely knows what he is doing. If every man put as much effort into keeping his partner(s) happy, we would all be walking around with smiles, and I am sure the world would be a happier place.

Anyone looking for an enjoyable story with real people, this is one for you.

“Mr. Shaw, excuse me.” A man cut in, approaching from the side with an extended arm and a business card in hand. “I’m Phil Pringston, CEO of Internal Management, and I’d be very interested to talk to you about a project of mine that—“

“Excuse me, Mr. Pringston.” Shaking his hand, Martin took his card. “I was about to get some important documents from Mr. Seymour here.”

“You are?” At first, Drake sounded surprised, then reading Martin’s expression, he immediately changed his tone. “Right, the files Straggler needed urgently.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. When can I talk to you?”

Martin glanced at his watch. “It’s quite late, Mr. Pringston, and I’m not sure how long it’ll take to fish them out. Can I give you a call tomorrow morning?”

“I won’t be here tomorrow. I’m leaving for Christmas break and I won’t be back until after the New Year.”

“Fine then.” Martin flashed his brightest smile. “Since I’m leaving for Ireland shortly, I’ll tell my secretary to call you right after the New Year to set up a meeting. How does that sound?”

Drake clearly read the disappointment in Pringston’s face, but the manager had no choice in the matter.

“Sure, Mr. Shaw,” he agreed reluctantly, “as you prefer.”

Martin fished out a card to hand him. “These are my numbers, in case you have some free time tomorrow. I’ll be available for the whole day.”

Pringston nodded, pocketing the card.

“All right, shall we?” Martin turned to Drake.

“Right this way, Mr. Shaw.” The pirate mocked, leading him to the elevators.

Following his gaze, Martin’s lips curved in a snarl. “I hope no one’s coming after us.”

Stepping into the elevator, Drake shrugged. “If they do, they might catch something not very…businesslike.”

Nice tease in the last sentence

I think so, too, Janet. It leaves open all sorts of possibilities between Martin and Drake 🙂

You’ve shown us a lot about the Martin and his busy, busy world.

Laura Tolomei May 6, 2021 at 2:27 pm

Oh, no, I haven’t shown you about his most intimate desires: what he’d do to Drake if only he had the chance, lol. Thanks for sharing, Ed.

Is Drake *actually* a pirate? That’s a surprise.

Laura Tolomei May 6, 2021 at 2:34 pm

No, you’re right, Lisabet. Pirate is just a nickname or rather how he likes to think of himself. He’s got the physique du role, as the French would put it, and he loves adventures. His massive build, long black hair to the shoulders and his prowl are enough to convince Martin that Drake is indeed a pirate, and that’s why he calls him so.
