"Destiny's Seduction is a wonderful sequel to the author's Thief's Desire. The rescued little girl is now a young woman who is ready to fulfill her destiny. Oric is a wonderful hero and a member of a telepathic race that is depicted quite nicely. Hopefully there will be other stories set in the well-crafted world."

--Susan Mobley

Isabo Kelly shows just how talented she is with this wonderful fantasy story. She will take you into a world filled with magic, sorcery, goblins and warriors. She brings them all to life as you read this wonderful love story. This is the second book in a series and I became totally involved with the characters. I can't help but wonder what will be the next quest Arlana and Oric will face. If you love fantasy and a very passionate romance, then be sure to get Destiny's Seduction. I would also recommend you get the first book Thief's Desire as well.

This is one talented author...I'd like to see her be one of the first to break into mainstream romance with this sort of work...

There's a certain class of novel I've begun to notice, select works of cross-genre proficiency that struggle to break out of a kind of cocoon...It's not easy to write cross-genre...I'm not saying this book is flawless, but give Ms. Kelly mainstream recognition and I think we'd see her conjure even bigger and better fantasy romances. I have my fingers crossed that the time for this subgenre--the prophesied time!--is near, what with LUNA and Tor's romance line and the like. I know romance readers would love to find the complexity of Tolkien's world and the total hotness of Legolas and/or Aragorn combined with a full-fledged romance instead of a couple Liv Tyler scenes gracefully shoehorned into an Oscar winning epic, right? Come on now, New York. Pay attention!

--Jody Wallace

Destiny's Seduction is excellent. The creativity behind each obstacle encountered on their journey to Borwan is fascinating for each unlocks a greater knowledge about these characters and their love for each other. And let me tell you there were quite a few times I wondered how Ms. Kelly was going to work her magic, because her villains are equally as ingenious and enticing. But she did, and I was all the more impressed. As we learn that sometimes doing the right thing can come at such a high price. But if it is done together and with the truest intentions of love, anything is possible.

Although it is not necessary to read Thief's Desire, I would recommend that you do because it too, is an excellent story that will only enhance the reading of Destiny's Seduction. Bravo Ms. Kelly, I look forward to more of your adventures in love.

--Mindy Lobaugh for PNR

The underlying premise of DESTINY'S SEDUCTION is cleverly built upon the fantasy principle of individuals with unwanted responsibilities heaped on them by fate with innocent lives at stake. Isabo Kelly takes that concept and adds a love element to the mix so that the audience feels the internal conflicts of the two delightful protagonists. Both want to vanish into the night with one another, but they have a job to complete. The enemy would desire nothing less than to fulfill the dreams of this pair by not having them execute the prophecy. Great villains, wonderful heroes, and a terrifically designed dangerous trek lead to a fascinating romantic fantasy that will send newcomers seeking the prequel THIEF'S DESIRE.

--Harriet Klausner, The Review Centre

DESTINY'S SEDUCTION is an engrossing tale of dragons, sorcerers, magic, and mayhem. Arlana is, at first, a young woman afraid of her powers and the fear they engender in others. However, when an attack on their party results in a mortal wound to an innocent young boy, Arlana, not ready to tap into the Browan magic available in the environment, selflessly uses her internal power to save his life, even though it leaves her weak and unprotected. Her confidence in her abilities as both a sorceress and a woman grow as she comes into her own. Oric has to drop his preconceived notions of who and what Arlana would be, and as he does, he finds himself drawn to her and eventually falling in love with her. Secondary characters are well-developed and integral to the story as they move towards their own fates even as Arlana and Oric race to save the world.

For a fun fantasy adventure, don't miss DESTINY'S SEDUCTION or its predecessor, THIEF'S DESTINY.

Rich in detail and hot with passion, Destiny’s Seduction is sure to please Isabo Kelly’s readers.

--Elise Lyn, Ecataromance

This story is a force that pulls you along page after page. Danger and passion get your heart racing as Arlana and Oric travel on their journey together. Ms. Kelly infuses her characters with such vivid emotions, you instantly feel connected to each one. The forests, cities, and mystical beings are so wonderfully described that they come to life on the page. I could almost smell the sandalwood and hear the music! You will want to race to the finish, but please take time to savor every word Ms. Kelly has written. It is well worth it.
