About this listen
At long last, New York Times best-selling author Gena Showalter unveils the story of Paris, the darkest and most tormented Lord of the Underworld….
Possessed by the demon of Promiscuity, immortal warrior Paris is irresistibly seductive - but his potent allure comes at a terrible price. Every night he must bed someone new, or weaken and die. And the woman he craves above all others is the one woman he'd thought was forever beyond his reach… until now.
Newly possessed by the demon of Wrath, Sienna Blackstone is racked by a ruthless need to punish those around her. Yet in Paris's arms, the vulnerable beauty finds soul-searing passion and incredible peace. Until a blood feud between ancient enemies heats up.
Will the battle against gods, angels and creatures of the night bind them eternally - or tear them apart?

A spunky florist and a cold-hearted lord of the dead? It's a match made in the underworld! Autumn Rankin is a florist first and foremost. Her specialty is making a rose bear in under 20 minutes or pulling together a bouquet that says "I'm sorry, honey, you're always right". But when she meets Hades at the funeral parlor, she discovers a hidden talent: Convincing a dead soul it's time to go to the afterlife. Apparently souls are wandering the land of the living, and Hades, stiff, cold, and guarded as he is, needs her natural charm and charisma to corral them to the underworld.

Good book but narration was off (and I love Max)
Book was good, very slow in the beginning but the ending was GREAT! I loved the narrator in previous LOTU books but this time around he was annoying. Lots of "wet" noises. It was gross and distracting from the story.

A solid 4.5 stars
It is obvious that the series continues past this book but this story really felt like culmination, several story lines are finalized. For the time being anyway. I have really struggled with liking Paris and Sienna in previous books, and even in the beginning of this one, but their story is really very sweet and incredibly well written. There is plenty of action in this book, in more ways than one. I felt very engaged for the whole story, my interest never wandered. I can't wait for the next installment. I am puzzled by some of the lower ratings and less than glowing reviews, I couldn't feel more differently.
Max Bellmore did a wonderful job in this book, as he does for the entire series.

Paris
Really enjoyed Paris’s story. Well done. The only book thus far I didn’t care for was Gideon’s. I wish his demon curse could have been done differently. Plus the story wasn’t my favorite.

Not the best..but still very good!
Although this not my favorite - I think mostly due to how high in the sky my expectations were, this was still a tremendous listen and I highly recommend it (as part of a series- for complete enjoyment) to any fan of a hot ( yes, strong sexual content) paranormal romance genre.
Thank God Ms. Showalter hasn???t lost her ability to take me away now that I???m finding more and more difficult to surrender my mind and heart to a Paranormal Romance novel.
I love the lords and I???ve not grown tired of their world, I still want to hear William???s story (my favorite) I still want to go all the way to end, and if you???re a fan of the series I wouldn???t skip this one, it still contains all the elements that made you love it in the first place.
Hot???
Suspense???
Engrossing???
Well developed characters???
A good love story???
Action???
Updates on the rest the lords ???
It was great to get Galen???s point of view which has ignited my interest in him and Legion. I really enjoyed their story, I???m dying to see where it goes and where it will end.
New characters are introduced, secrets are revealed and don???t you want to know if the end is getting near?
LOTU continues to be one of favorite Paranormal Romance series.
All in all, this is a solid entry to the Lords of the Underworld and a highly enjoyable listen.
Narration.
I can???t believe that I have to start my review of the narration with ??? how can???t anyone not love Max Bellmore???????
I love the way he narrates these books, and The Darkest Seduction is not the exception.
Again he???s approach and pace are flawless, and the mood of the novel, the characters personality, and sensuality are perfectly conveyed.
Another fantastic job by very talented narrator.

If you've been listening along to this story from the 1st book, following everyone as they get their true loves. you may have picked a favorite or two. the 2 people for me that I had been waiting to read about would be Paris and Torin finally. Paris gets his woman and what a story it is. Beware true love does make odd bedmates

Finally someone for Paris
What did you love best about The Darkest Seduction?
I loved the development of Senna and Paris's reliationship. It was nice how much Paris loves Senna. He was so thoughtful and kind to Senna. It was so sweet.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Darkest Seduction?
The most memorable moments is when Paris and Senna realize that they can be together forever.
What about Max Bellmore’s performance did you like?
Great narrator. Definitely made the story. I like that he can do both female and male voices that are believable. Bellmore is definitely one reason to listen to this story.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, but there is so much going on with this story that it would be an injustice to try and cram the whole story into one sitting.
Any additional comments?
I've read most of the books in this series, but Bellmore makes the story come to life. He also makes it easy to hear the book over and over again.

Another great one from the LOTU Series.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
It depends on the friend. There are some "earthy" scenes. (wink) The title overall was very well done and I have listened to Lords of the Underworld from the beginning. This was one of the better ones not that they aren't all good. I hate to say that the books on the Keeper of Pain and Keeper of Secrets were disturbing and not in a fun way. I would recommend it because it was a very satisfying chapter in the series.
What did you like best about this story?
I liked the way conflict was created. It sparked my imagination and was not too frustrating. The characters were strong and it felt believable. The story of Paris has been long awaited by me and it was not disappointing. One of my favorite books in this series was Gideon's story and this one was even better. The story had the continuation of some of the recurring plot lines and I wonder how she is going to get them out of those fixes. The reunion of the 'family' was very well done. I loved the ending!
What about Max Bellmore’s performance did you like?
He is the voice of the Lords. He has a signature style that complements the series and is very talented. He makes the tale believable and adds suspense, tension and humor.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me snicker when I see the teasing. I love a sense of fun when the subject can be dark and you need some comic relief.
Any additional comments?
If you are a fan of the Lords of the Underworld this is one you need if you are stranded on a deserted island.
